  • Wiener schnitzel — in fact! That is pounded veal (sure, a lot to my daughter’s dismay she needed to devour child animal to do that specialty), breaded and flippantly fried. A great schnitzel might be very tender, crisp and never greasy. Squeeze some lemon on high to actually carry out the flavour!
  • Tafelspitz Boiled Beef— this basic boiled beef, served in a pot with its “soup” or on a plate, often with crispy potatoes and apple-horseradish sauce.
  • Goulash — Viennese goulash is a bit completely different than Hungarian, however it’s nonetheless extra of a soup than what I grew up consuming as goulash in the US.
  • Apple Strudel — coffeehouses compete for the honour of getting the very best apple strudel. The key is the very, very skinny layers of apples whereas nonetheless retaining a light-weight a flaky wrapper. I chorus from calling it a crust as a result of that’s an excessive amount of like pie or a heavier pastry. A dusting of powdered sugar completes the dish.
  • Kaiserschmarren — I first had this in Delaware of all locations, however it’s a should attempt in Austria. It’s exhausting to explain however think about torn up items of pancake-like dough served with a plum sauce and powdered sugar. It’s not overpoweringly candy, which makes not overeating exhausting.

Nevertheless, you’ll truly get a extra genuine model in a neighborhood espresso home (with out all these preservatives.) Sacher torte is a chocolate cake layered with a skinny layer of apricot jam and coated with darkish chocolate icing.

After citing all this tasty Austrian meals, I have to inform you the place to seek out them. These have been our favourite eating places in Vienna throughout our keep.

Griechenbeisl

Griechenbeisl could be very touristy, however that doesn’t imply it isn’t good. It was an ideal spot on your first evening in Vienna. The decor jogged my memory of Peter Luger’s again in New York (besides the steaks aren’t as costly.) That they had my favourite apple strudel of the journey, and an excellent schnitzel too. (Figmüller is one other good possibility for traditional Viennese, however they don’t take reservations on the weekends.)

Brezl Gwölb can also be Austrian delicacies, however tucked away and a bit more durable to seek out, making it a lot much less touristy. Housed in a basement and floor stage, it has a really cosy decor with a heat fireplace that’s excellent on a cold evening.

Don’t refill on the enormous pretzels, as a result of the schnitzel and tafelspitz boiled beef are fairly good right here as effectively. And, though every little thing is cooked to order, the dishes come out quick. My favourite dish was their goulash, served with an egg on high and a few very dense and heavy bread dumplings. I believe this meal might have fed us all.  I cherished this little “discover” that was additionally rather a lot lighter on the pocketbook.

Bitzinger

In case you are on the lookout for genuine road meals, you actually can’t miss a cease on the Bitzinger sausage stand close to the Albertina. My favourite is the one full of cheese. You may get the sausage on a plate or “sizzling canine type”, the place they minimize a gap within the high of the bun, squirt in some ketchup, after which stick within the sausage so you’ll be able to eat it simply standing up with one hand. They even promote beer!

Bodega Marques

I didn’t look forward to finding genuine Spanish delicacies in Vienna however I used to be pleasantly shocked by Bodega Marques. Don’t be delay by the smoky bar, this tapas and wine bar close to Judenplatz has a glassed off eating room to maintain the smoke out. The tapas have been nearly as good as any we had in Barcelona or Madrid. As a lot as I really like schnitzel, it was good to have a swap from Austrian meals and we at all times discover tapas eating places to be good for households.

Fabio’s

On our final evening we splurged for our most costly meal of the journey, however even that wasn’t too expensive. It’s superb how cheap good wine is in Austria! You’ll positively want a reservation at Fabio’s and it would be best to gown properly. It isn’t fancy, however it’s stylish. Extra NYC than Rome. The meals is great and the white truffle risotto is past scrumptious.

Foodies will even get pleasure from at cease on the Naschmarkt. This outside public market is a kilometer lengthy with every little thing from a vinegar store to contemporary flowers. There are additionally eating places and bars, or tables the place you’ll be able to cease and benefit from the items. It is a excellent spot for an informal lunch or pre-dinner drinks and snacks.

Since it’s not all about meals, oenophiles will get pleasure from a cease into the Melker Stiftskeller wine cellar for some native wine tasting or craft beer. Additionally they provide meals with dishes that embody venison, goose, pate, and different regional specialties.

Café Mozart

Cafe Mozart Kaiserscharmnn

Positioned near the opera and the Albertina, Café Mozart has remained in style with musicians, locals and vacationers. Cafe Mozart’s kaiserschmarrn, a torn pancake with stewed plums, is scrumptious. We first tried this deal with in Rehoboth Seashore, Delaware of all locations and it was so enjoyable to attempt it in Austria the place it was invented. I additionally cherished their dish with roasted bread dumplings and eggs and inexperienced salad.

Café Central

My favourite Viennese espresso home is Café Central. It’s grand and stylish, with excessive ceilings and spacious banquettes. The middle of Café Central is the in depth cake and pastry show. It additionally provides a full menu with a really tasty schnitzel.

Glenn discovered the Salon Einspänner to be the very best espresso in Vienna. It’s a giant espresso served mit schlag (with whipped cream.) The factor to learn about Café Central is that it is likely one of the hottest espresso homes in Vienna and should you don’t get there earlier than midday, you may be standing in a protracted line out the door.

Herrengasse 14, 1010 Wien, Austria

Café Sperl

Cafe Sperl is likely one of the solely espresso homes in Vienna that also makes their very own truffles and pastries. We voted their Sperl cake, which makes use of chocolate and almond flour (though it doesn’t style like almonds), the very best cake in Vienna. Their apple strudel was fairly good as effectively (though my favourite was nonetheless at Griechenbeisl.)

First opened within the Eighties, Cafe Sperl was a favourite amongst composers, singers, writers and artists. Immediately, it maintains an genuine and historic environment, proper all the way down to the smoke stained partitions and darkish wooden paneling.

The place to Keep in Vienna

I’d advocate staying within the First District, however avoiding the extra touristy space by the Opera Home. We cherished our keep on the Palais Hansen Kempinski. It had a stunning location simply inside the ring street however in a quiet space, with quick access to the tram or underground. This elegant luxurious resort has spacious rooms, wonderful service, and the very best breakfast buffet. 

There are additionally many reasonably priced Airbnbs and vrbo house leases within the metropolis middle.
