Viennese cuisine is hardy: Weiner schnitzel, goulash, soups with dumplings, a great variety of meats and sausages, lots of bread, and lots of beer, as comfortable as the homely beisl (bistro) with the sturdy, simple furniture and a generous bar area in which it is served. Go for lunch and build your strength for the sightseeing ahead, or grab a frankfurter from the many street stands.
After a day of touristy exercise, take a rest at an institution that helped shaped the entire culture: the Vienna café, where anyone has a place and a voice, and current and international news is as part of the menu as the free glass of water that comes with the coffee.
While you’re there, allow yourself a little piece of a world-renown dessert like the many strudels filled with fruit or cheese, or, of course, a Linzer- or Sachertorte.
Like a lot of European food, Viennese cuisine is filling as well as tasty, but make sure to leave room for the world-famous tortes for dessert!
