About a cafe

In the heart of the Galician Town, according to design magistrate in Stary Sacz, a soaring hall was built. Its construction began in the early nineteenth century, but after the fire it has never been finished. Now the Royal Imperial Galician Café is situated here. In a high lobby, filled with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the soothing sounds of music, you can almost feel the ghost of Elizabeth of Bavaria, known to us more as Sisi; the beloved wife of the the “good emperor ” Franz Joseph I.

The empress of Austria and beloved Queen of Hungary was called in her time, not without reason, the most beautiful and fascinating woman in the world. The legends say that her thick, brown hair reached , according to some letters and portraits, to her heels. Stacking up the hair took her up to three hours a day, and washing it in the concoction of cognac and egg yolks – all day! Everyone was jealous of her slim, athletic figure of the Empress and her 18,5-inch waist.

This figure of a model the Empress owed ​​her rigorous diet, daily exercise and – in her youth – long hours of horse gallops. Her menu consisted of six glasses of milk or juice, decoction of veal, two glasses of wine, raw eggs with salt, oranges, but also … ice cream.

The Empress had, in fact, weakness for sweets – there are numerous accounts of patisserie, where Sisi ordered all sorts of sweets and ice cream. It is said that she was fond of the baked coffee cakes, especially  the famous Viennese cakes.
