Café Sacher Wien is part of the Hotel Sacher on Philharmoniker Straße, a few steps from the Vienna State Opera. The star of the show is the Original Sacher-Torte. In 2026 the hotel celebrates its 150th anniversary.
The cake is older than the hotel: Franz Sacher created it in 1832 as a 16-year-old apprentice for Prince Metternich. Eduard Sacher opened the hotel in 1876. After his death, Anna Sacher ran the house, famous for her cigars and her French bulldogs. The hotel does not say when the café opened. Today it belongs to the Gürtler-Winkler family. Among other films, the café was a location for "Woman in Gold."
According to the menu on the website (as of August 2026), the Original Sacher-Torte with whipped cream costs €11.50. There is no classic Wiener Melange on the menu, but there is the Sacher Melange with whipped cream at €7.50. The Einspänner (black coffee topped with whipped cream) is also €7.50, the small Brauner (espresso with cream on the side) €5.10 and the Viennese apple strudel €9.90. Breakfast is served daily 07:00–11:00; the Viennese breakfast costs €24.60 and the small breakfast €12. At lunch and dinner the café serves Viennese cuisine.
The café is open daily 07:00–23:00. The house recommends booking early, in person or via the online tool. The café is wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome. On December 24, 2026 there is a Christmas menu in the evening, with entry between 18:00 and 19:30. Sacher has not yet published its regular hours for the holidays.
