The St Regis Grand hotel, in partnership with the Austrian Embassy and two hotels in Vienna, are offering a gastronomic week with afternoon tea and at dinner a special Austrian menu with Austrian wines. A friend of mine and I treated ourselves to afternoon tea and a sampling of 3 viennese cakes. We enjoyed- the imperiale torte, (said to have been invented in honor of the emperor Franz Josef I and its recipe is still secret), the apple strudel and the linzertorte.
