History The Habsburg Empire strongly influenced European culture, art and science for more than 600 years, leaving their marks in all the countries they had directly or indirectly ruled. The above map outlines the empire at the height of Franz Josef I.’s reign from 1848 to 1916, the period that was also used as the inspiration for our culinary concept. Kaiserhaus unites the gastronomical traditions and heritage of the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire that extended over a dozen of nations, stretching from Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Northern Italy to the Balkans. It celebrates the authentic cuisine by bringing together gastronomic delights from this melting pot with the Viennese Coffeehouse culture, well-curated wines and craft beers. At the heart of it all were Emperor Franz Josef I. and his wife Empress Elisabeth, known as Sissi, who were the most respected and beloved members of the Habsburg dynasty. Austria As the primary capital of the Habsburg Empire, Vienna acted as a center of the melting pot and was influenced by the top culinary highlights of the crown lands, while still staying true to its roots of serving savoury delights and sweet delectables that are world famous. Hungary Largely focusing on meat, Hungarian cuisine is world-famous for its rich flavours, aromas and textures. Although Empress Sissi was famously obsessed with her figure, even she made an exception when it came to the unique Hungarian dishes. (Southern) Tyrol Located in the mountainous region of Northern Italy, Tyrolean cuisine features an interesting mix of Alpine dishes coupled with Italian sophistication and lightness. Bohemia Constituting the Northern borders of the Empire, the hilly area of Bohemia is landlocked and well known for its fertile farmland. Viennese cuisine was strongly influenced by the large Bohemian population living in the metropole. Bosnia Located at the southernmost part of the Austrian–Hungarian Empire, Bosnia’s cuisine has always had both Western and Eastern influences, bringing many Mediterranean flavours to the melting pot’s cuisine. ✦ Starters ✦ Crispy Fried Mushrooms (v) ..... 12.00 Button mushrooms with homemade sauce tartare, potato salad, mâche and lemon Tafelspitzsulze / Gourmet Beef Aspic ..... 15.00 Finely sliced gourmet beef aspic with quail egg, tomatoes, pickles, house vinaigrette and pumpkin seed oil Served with a Kaiser roll, rye bread and butter Caprese Tonnato / Adriatic Starter ..... 19.00 Vine-ripened tomatoes with mozzarella, pesto, thinly sliced pork roast with tuna sauce, capers, rocket leaves and Ajvar, a Balkan red pepper relish Served with a selection of Austrian breads Jaus’nteller / Cold Cuts and Cheese Platter for Two ..... 38.00 Homemade spreads, premium ham, smoked air-dried ham, thinly sliced roast pork, Hungarian salami, selected cheeses and pickles Served with a bread basket ✦ Soups ✦ Soup of the Day ..... 7.50 Gulyás Leves / Hungarian Goulash Soup ..... 8.50 The national dish of Beef goulash soup with potatoes and bell peppers, Hungary got its name seasoned with noble sweet paprika from the early herdsmen Served with a Kaiser roll who were called ‘gulyás’ in Hungarian.
