Demel

Location & Contact:

Description:

Eloise would have a field day in this opulent Viennese pastry shop located in the retail section of the Plaza Hotel. As the first international outpost of the venerable Austrian chocolatier, it serves up the same hand-crafted cakes and confections made according to Viennas imperial tradition, and carried out here by onetime Montrachet and Nobu pastry chef Jemal Edwards. Yes, you can finally enjoy Demel's confections stateside (it only took them 200-plus years)but for a price: A single slice of the elaborate 12-layer dobostorte or the signature chocolate sachertorte will run you $8. If youre looking for just a taste of the sweet life, opt for bite-size puff pastry schaumrolle or wiener apfelstrudel made with diced apples, walnuts and a dash of cinnamon. In addition to the caf, theres also a shop for pre-packaged chocolates on the go.
