An
elegant and regal cafe within sight of the Hofburg, Demel was once the talk of the town
but now mainly caters to tourists. The quality of the cakes hasn't dropped however, and it
wins marks for the sheer creativity of its sweets. Demel's speciality is the Ana Demel
Torte, a calorie-bomb of chocolate and nougat.
Esterházykeller

01, Haarhof 1; 11am-11pm; Stephansplatz, Herrengasse)
Ester-
házykeller, tucked away on a quiet courtyard just off Kohlmarkt, has an enormous cellar
- rustic decor, complete with medieval weaponry and farming tools - where excellent
wine is served direct from the Esterházy Palace wine estate in Eisenstadt. Unlike most
Heurigen
, Esterházykeller offers beer.
WINE TAVERN

WINE TAVERN
(Twelve Apostle Cellar; 512 67 77;

; 01, Sonnenfelsgasse 3; 11am-midnight;
Stephansplatz)
Even though Zwölf Apostelkeller plays it up for the tourists, it still retains
plenty of charm, dignity and authenticity. This is mostly due to the premises themselves:
a vast, dimly lit multilevel cellar. The atmosphere is often lively and rowdy, helped along
by traditional
Heuriger
music from 7pm daily.

Why Not? is one of the few clubs focusing its attention solely on the gay
scene. The small club quickly fills up with mainly young guys out for as much fun as
possible.
