If you’re a fan of wholesome, hearty dishes, fall-off-the-bone meat, and indulgent comfort food guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, Vienna is the city for you.
It doesn’t get more Viennese than wiener schnitzel! This iconic dish is really simple, but it tastes fantastic.
When you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, find your nearest bakery or cafe and order yourself some apfelstrudel. This classic dessert has a fantastically crisp outer layer and a wonderfully soft center that you’ll fall in love with after your first bite.
Unlike the mayonnaise-heavy potato salad from North America, erdäpfelsalat is a relatively fresh and healthy side that accompanies almost every main course served in typical Austrian restaurants across Vienna.
Vienna does some great comfort food and tafelspitz is one of our favorites. The perfect thing to enjoy on a cold winter evening, tafelspitz is made of a tender tailpiece of veal or beef that’s gently simmered in a rich broth with root vegetables.
If you like chocolate, sachertorte is easily the best Austrian food in Vienna! This iconic dessert is made up of layers of dense chocolate cake sandwiched together with sweet apricot jam.
