when you first came in the afternoon, the queue was too long, as a result you just give it a miss. in the evening, when your friends arrived and you decided to come here for a late dinner. there's almost no line when you arrived at the door and got seated swiftly.
since you're eyeing on the cakes, so you decided to go really light on dinner by just having a goulash soup. The soup was great, taste really food without artificial flavoring.
like cafes in paris, the table is really small to fit the 3 dishes on the table and eat comfortably. It was an intimate eating session and you chat with your friends about the past (good old times in shanghai) and the present (canada and lowland).
after the main meal or rather soup for you, you walk to the cake section and pick your choice. with 3 different choices of cake, you share among yourselves...
situated next to palais ferstel, the interior was superb with the cupola and the pianist playing on the grand piano. you enjoyed both your food and the conversation. the service was with a kind ' indifferent' attitude but all in all a memorable meal in a nice cafe with long established history.
as you walk out cafe central, you enter the next door leading to the passage. this was the view from the afternoon, busy and bustling with people and a lady playing harp.
and this is the comparison of the view, left taken int he afternoon and right taken in the evening when all shops are closed
this is quite an enchanting moment, to stand here briefly all by yourselves and take in the view and the atmosphere ^^
