Café Sabarsky

As a Swiss person, I was so pleasently suprised by this place. You can expect veeery authentic Austrian dishes, I loved the Schnitzel, Sauerkraut and Kaiserschmarrn. Really so good, also the ambiente felt like in a Café in Vienna. Absolutely loved it!

Typically only walk in only (unless you're a member), but worth the wait! Beautiful sprawling tall ceilings and tiny marble tables. Once you are seated, service is quick and precise. Any of the open face fish sandwiches are a great choice, along with a nice slice of chocolate cake to top off the brunch. Beware, the coffee is VERY STRONG (rightly so), I had to ask for extra steamed milk.

Very beautiful interior design and wonderful atmosphere. The sausages were simply amazing. And you should definitely try the schnitzel. It's excellent here.

Stumbled upon this charming austrian restaurant for breakfast on our first day in New York, completely unaware of its Michelin-star status until we arrived. From the moment we stepped inside, it was an unforgettable experience. The security protocols were impressively thorough, and the staff made us feel right at home. The interiors, with their old English charm, added a timeless elegance to the setting. Regina, our server, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and even offered fantastic recommendations for places to visit nearby. It’s the little details that make all the difference, and this restaurant got them all right. The portions were generous, and every dish was spot on. The Apfelstrudel dessert was the perfect finishing touch to a flawless meal. Friendly tip: Be sure to book in advance! Walk-ins can expect at least a 30-minute wait. If you have some extra time to spare, the art gallery upstairs is definitely worth a visit!

A lovely lunch stop on the way to the Met. I got a beet salad and my companion ordered a liverwurst sandwich. Both were fresh and flavor-forward, well presented and served promptly. We also got the Adele dessert, a passion fruit and coconut mousse cake. Oh, it was phenomenal balance of rich and light flavors on the tongue. A delectable sweet to set is up for the rest of our art-laden day. The waitstaff was very attentive and we didn't have a problem getting a seat but I could tell there was a line forming when we left. Best recommend a reservation if booking at the traditional meal hour.

Beautiful dining room and prompt service and gorgeous plating. The waiters can’t really pronounce the names of the menu items either so English or pointing works well. I decided to add rum to the Viennese hot chocolate and it was perfect. The whipped cream was rich but not sweetened which balanced out the sweetness of the hot chocolate. It was also served at the perfect temperature. Hubby got the smoked trout crepe which was delicious. My roasted potatoes with egg, cheese, bacon, and pickles was also tasty although I did add salt and pepper. The bread and butter that came with the entrees was a nice touch. There were two types of bread. My only complain is that the butter could’ve been a bit softer for spreading purposes. We arrived right at 9:00 (opening time) and there were already a few people in line ahead of us. Note: The Cafe is in a museum. Your bags will be searched upon entry and they also dump out any water bottles you may have. There is a water filling station in the basement near the restrooms that can be visiting after your meal.

On a quiet, snow-covered afternoon in New York, the Neue Galerie felt like a return to Vienna. Seeing Adele Bloch-Bauer in person for the first time, along with works by Egon Schiele, was deeply moving, one of those rare moments where art quietly overwhelms you. Sitting afterward at Café Sabarsky with a Sachertorte and a Wiener Melange, reflecting on it all, almost brought tears to my eyes. An intimate, elegant place where memory, art, and emotion come together beautifully.

You will travel back to old Vienna and Budapest in this charming, dark wood paneled dining room. The food is classic Austro-Hungarian dishes. Meat, potatoes, noodles and an enormous dessert menu full of goodies. We had the Goulash, Paprikás Chicken, and Sausage with cheese in it plate. Desserts were the Mozart Torte( Pistachio and Chocolate), Sabarsky Torte (Classic Chicolate Cake) and Kaisershmarren ( Torn pancakes with fruit compote). All the food was delicious and the service was incredible. Highly recommended if you're looking for a nice, old school, dinner.
