House of Austria
Events:
Dr. Ernst Strasser, Minister of the Interior of the Republic of Austria, spent
an evening at our Edelweiss Restaurant during a recent visit to San Diego.
Minister Strasser enjoyed Austrian Gemütlichkeit and the excellent cuisine of
owner Franz Dorninger. Patiently and charmingly, he answered all questions that
media had for him. He was delighted to see the Austrian community in San Diego
rapidly growing and promised help with building an Austrian cottage.
