Café Strudel lists ornate mirrors, thick tablecloths and a mammoth wine list as parts of its Central European charm—and yes, strudel. You'll have to come during the day to try it. The full-blown array of pastries and delicious cakes, along with the businessmen who favor the place, newspaper in-hand, vanish come nightfall. Instead, they're replaced by serious gastronomy like chilled cucumber and vodka soup starters, and Viennese specialties like perfectly cooked Wiener Schnitzel and Zwiebelrostbraten for mains. Meanwhile the wine list—which owner Orly Kritzman-Kadron believes to be the most extensive collection of Austrian wines on British soil—helps everything wash down with lubricious ease. /system/photos/0047/5673/strudel1_thumb.jpg 2009-06-04T13:02:51+02:00 London Food 475673 Courtesy of Café Strudel /system/photos/0047/5673/strudel1.jpg 475683 Courtesy of Café Strudel /system/photos/0047/5683/strudel2.jpg 475688 Courtesy of Café Strudel /system/photos/0047/5688/strudel3.jpg 475693 Courtesy of Café Strudel /system/photos/0047/5693/strudel4.jpg 475698 Courtesy of Café Strudel /system/photos/0047/5698/strudel5.jpg
