Make Salzburg apple strudel and Vanilla Kipferl in a cave kitchen, with lunch, hands-on instruction, tastings, and cookies to take home.

The hosts were detailed in their demonstration and then provided assistance as each group about to make our own strudel. Everything turned out delicious and we left with the ability to replicate the strudel at home. So fun! We’d definitely take another of their classes if we had a chance.”

Chef Nabiel has a great sense of humor and made the experience as involved as we wanted while providing useful insider knowledge. He kept the drinks flowing, accommodated dietary preferences and needs as well. Secondarily, his kitchen is very easy to find and accessible either on foot or metro. I would highly recommend spending an evening here to meet him and other travelers”
