Demel Offers a Peek at Viennese Treats
Christmas treats made in Demel's backroom
Stopping at Demel is a must if seeking to visit an elegant and traditional Viennese confectioner. Demel has been churning out lavish baked goods and candies since 1776 and sports a decadent interior that was restored in the 1930s. Its elaborate window displays alone, showing labyrinthine seasonally themed cakes and other showy sugar-based structures, are worth a look.
A trip inside Demel presents the opportunity to sit down and enjoy sinful cake while sipping exquisite Viennese coffee among classy surroundings. You can even take a piece of Demel home. The shop's numerous artfully packaged chocolates and other confections make excellent gifts or self-indulgences. Also, be sure to check out Demel's backroom, where visitors can catch a free glimpse of the Demel pastry chefs in action. Photos taken without flash are allowed.
To reach Demel conveniently, take the U3 metro line to Herrengasse. For more information about Demel, visit www.demel.at.
