All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Deep within the magnificent grounds of Schönbrunn Palace lies the Hofbackstube (Court Bakery) at Café Residenz, where the scent of cinnamon and baked apples has lingered for centuries. The Strudel Show is a captivating culinary performance where master bakers demonstrate the intricate art of hand-stretching apple strudel dough until it is thin enough to read a newspaper through. This immersive experience offers a rare look at the UNESCO-recognized Viennese coffee house culture. After watching the pros, you'll get to enjoy a fresh, warm slice of the finished masterpiece, prepared according to the original imperial recipe that once delighted the Habsburg monarchs. It is the perfect sensory companion to a day of exploring the palace state rooms and gardens.

Real experiences from real travelers
Watching the chef stretch the dough was mesmerizing. It really is thin enough to see through! The strudel tasted amazing with the vanilla sauce.
Short, sweet, and perfectly located. We did this right after our Palace tour. Highly recommend booking ahead as the small room fills up fast.
Great way to warm up during a cold December day. The original recipe card is a lovely souvenir. The show is quick but very entertaining.
The bakery smells incredible. It was very interesting to learn the history of the recipe used by the Emperors. Tasting was the best part!
As a baker myself, I was impressed by the skill shown. A very professional presentation in a beautiful historic setting.
For the price, it's a great little show. The coffee at Cafe Residenz is also excellent. A nice break from walking the gardens.
Easy to find and very fun for the kids. They loved seeing the dough being tossed and stretched. The strudel was the best we had in Vienna.
We booked this along with the concert tickets. It was a wonderful start to our evening at Schönbrunn.
