  1. An Authentic Vienna Sausage!


  2. In winter small stands on bustling street corners sell hot chestnuts and potato fritters. Sausages are also well loved and available almost everywhere. The sausage known in the USA and Germany as Wiener (German for "Viennese") is called a Frankfurter here. However other varieties are more popular at Vienna's sausage stands, such as Burenwurst, a coarse, usually boiled, beef and pork sausage or Käsekrainer, spicy pork with small chunks of cheese within it. Hot dogs are also very common, whereas due to regional food legislation the Bosner or Bosna as the Austrian equivalent of a hot dog (filled with a fried Bratwurst sausage, onions and spices) can seldomly be found at the typical viennese Würstelstand.

    Vienna is also well known for Wiener schnitzel, a cutlet of veal that is pounded flat, coated in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and fried in lard. It is available in almost every eatery that serves viennese cuisine for about 14 Euros. Don't confuse it with pork schnitzel viennese style (Schweinsschnitzel Wiener-Art). Excellent, enormous and authentic Wiener Schnitzels are available at the Figlmüller restaurant (Bäckerstraße 6). Be aware that it is usually very full and noisy.

    Other Viennese cuisine includes Tafelspitz, very lean boiled beef, often served with grated horseradish.

    Vienna has a long tradition of cakes and desserts. These include Apfelstrudel (hot apple strudel), Palatschinken (sweet pancakes), and Knödel (dumplings) often filled with fruit such as apricots (Marillenknödel). Sachertorte, a chocolate cake from the Sacher Hotel, is world famous and available to take home from many shops in Vienna airport.

    The Naschmarkt is a permanent market for fruit, vegetables, spices, fish, meat and much more. It is well worth a visit. The city centre has speciality food stores like Julius Meinl.

    Vienna is a Vegetarian and Vegan-friendly city, with many modern restaurants featuring a vegetarian section in their menus. There are also many vegetarian restaurants operating in Vienna, with some highlights being Vegetasia (Taiwanese menu/buffet featuring many styles of mock-meat), Rupps (Austrian-style menu featuring traditional Austrian meals utilizing mock meats), Art of Life (Gourmet veggie/vegan menu plus fish specialties) and Hollerei (Gourmet veggie/vegan menu). A list of more restaurants catering to vegetarians and vegans can be found at Happy Cow (in English) or vegan.at (in German).

  3. You go to a Stube and order Hungarian Goulash with Noodles and Dark Bread.

    You can have either Veal Goulash or Beef Goulash.  This is a much tastier and satisfying meal than Schnitzel or Lean Beef.

    A Bowl of Goulash Soup with Dark Bread and Butter is also very good.  For desert you order Plums encased in a Batter and Boiled - they are served as round balls with sugar.

    Then you have coffee with Schlag on top.

  4. macdonalds

  5. The best place I ate at in Austria was in Lofer, St. Martin, the bed and breakfast: Mariane's had the best food. You could order things for lunch and dinner, (their pizza was rly good), and for breakfast was anything you could imagine. It's a rly, rly nice place, and it's worth staying at.
