When we were up seeing the Sonia Delauney exhibit a few weeks ago we planned our route around having lunch at Café Sabarsky...it’s one of the cafes in the Neue Galerie and one of my favorite rooms in all of New York City (thanks to the talented Anabelle Seldorf).
The food is delicious....think gourmet Austrian, which of course means schnitzel and bratwurst of some kind, plus wonderful coffee and desserts. Here are some highlights from our meal.
Top left: Mmmm, just seeing the menu makes my mouth water....sausages, sandwiches, schnitzel!
Top right & bottom: The Viennese coffee was super delicious with perfectly foamed milk. 
Top: The Hungarian Goulash was a study in perfection - big chunks of delicious and tender beef in a rich sauce just waiting to be drizzled over the buttered spaetzle on the side.
Bottom left: And of course, no visit to Café Sabarsky is complete without someone ordering the schnitzel. Who would say no to a paper thin veal cutlet breaded, deep friend then served over potato salad with lingonberries?
Bottom right: We felt guilty ordering all this heavy food and threw in a beet salad with goat cheese. 
Another must have is the bratwurst. They offer a few different kinds but this one was especially tasty because it is smoked and stuffed with cheese!
Top: We had to case the dessert table to see what our options were before making a final decision.
Bottom: On the left is the Klimttorte with alternating layers of chocolate ganache and hazelnut cake. It was light, airy and not too sweet. The Apple Strudel is on the right...flaky and delectable.
So if you are uptown visiting the Cooper Hewitt or the Met, definitely stop by Café Sabarsky! Even if it’s just to have a coffee and enjoy the beautiful room while practicing saying things like “Strudel” in a German accent.
