Back in 1847, Anton and Barbara Gerstner opened a pastry shop in central Vienna which was later commissioned by the Imperial Court to supply desserts for the royal family. More than a century later, the tradition of culinary excellence is still thriving. Mouthwatering cakes, dainty chocolates, attractive open sandwiches and the aroma of coffee make this historic and grand Konditorei a desirable address. There's a cosy bar on the first floor and an excellent Austrian café-restaurant on the second floor.
