Change language:
The Telegraph has recently collected Europe’s 14 best historic cafés that we should all visit before we die, and we are happy to report that the patinated Gerbeaud Café made it onto the list. It is mentioned among such illustrious cafés as Caffé Florian at Saint Mark’s Square, Café de la Paix in Paris and Café Central in Vienna.
“One of the biggest traditional cafés in a city known for being home, at one point, to around 500 of them. Dating back to 1858, it is famous for its cakes and sweet pastries. Emil Gerbeaud, a Swiss confectioner, devised creations including ‘konyakos meggy’, made from sour cherry, matured in cognac and covered with dark chocolate, and ‘zserbó szelet’, layers of cake, jam and ground walnuts, topped with a chocolate glaze, to serve to punter” writes The Telegraph.
Besides the two desserts mentioned in the article, Gerbeaud’s selection includes specialties like the Dobos Cake and the Eszterházy Cake and culinary experiences like the orange-caramel, the royal chocolate or the light basil-lemon.
