Click to enlarge! Historic Gala Dinner
The high output of the monastery cellars restaurant kitchen - while keeping with the ambience of the restaurant and the two restaurant museums- culminates in the "royal cuisine experience". Historic dishes from courses prepared for special occasions at the Viennese Court and selected courses chosen by the monarch for intimate family dinners are lovingly re-created for functions with offers on specially presented cards. This offer will also be available in future with the excellent wine seminars held by the Imperial and Royal Wine Treasure Vault.
