Austrian

[foodwhisperer]

Now that Danube closed. Is Wallse and Blau Gans the only Austrian that is noteworthy?

Steinhof in Park Slope is delish.

There's also Cafe Katja on the LES - great sausages and beer selection. It's on Orchard. I went there last week and it's pretty reasonable, authentic and tasty.

I wasn't enamored with Demel either - the cakes are good, but something about being in the middle of a mall turned me off.

an enthusiastic second on katja. whatever sausage specials are available are a must...

I would add Cafe Sabarsky to that list. Demel plans on serving food at some point, and, while I liked my slice of torte, I was not enamoured with the mall-like ambiance.

Sabarsky definitely should be added to the list. What good is Kavalierspitz if you can't end it with a slice of Sachertorte, too? It's worth noting that Wallse, Blaue Gans and Cafe Sabarsky are all owned by the same restaurant group.

It's lovely - you can see the menu on their website. Great place to have lunch before or after seeing the Neue Galerie or going to the Met. I really like their trout salad. By the way, there is a cafe in the basement (Fledermaus?) with the same menu, but absolutely no ambiance, so I'd wait in line for Sabarsky before going there. Enjoy!
