It’s not all Weiner schnitzel here; this vibrant city is in the midst of a culinary revolution. You’ll find an intermingling of Mediterranean influences, Kaffeehäuser (cafes) with good wine lists, and vineyard right outside the city limits. The art scene is also extremely enticing-why not check out the world-famous Vienna Boys’ Choir? The Emperor makes a divine after-dinner treat. If you can’t use espresso, strong coffee will do the trick. This recipe is fashioned after the coffee cocktail they server at Café Mozart in the Style Hotel.
