Linzer Torte belongs to Linz like the Danube belongs to the city – and trying a slice of it is a real must-do. This traditional pastry is one of the oldest known cake recipes in the world and has its origins right here. It is characterized by the fine nut shortcrust pastry, the fruity currant jam and the unmistakable lattice pattern that turns every Linzer Torte into a small work of art.
It is baked fresh every day in numerous traditional patisseries, sometimes in a classic style, sometimes in a modern interpretation. The best way to enjoy it is during a relaxing coffee break in the old town or to take a piece home with you as a sweet souvenir. This is an easy way to experience a piece of Linz history with all your senses.
Tip: The Linzer Torte at Konditorei Jindrak (Herrenstraße) is particularly popular – one of the top addresses in the city.
