WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN AUSTRIA

Austria’s cuisine of juicy meat dishes and divine desserts is not for the faint hearted! We’ll show you the best places to munch on golden schnitzel and sweet sachertorte.

Wiener Schnitzel

You haven’t had schnitzel until you’ve tried the Austrian wiener schnitzel. Tender veal coated in crunchy breadcrumbs… and they dish them up in sizes so big, they spill off your plate! Remember to loosen your belt before you tuck into this iconic dish, complete with a side of creamy potato salad.

Käsespätzle

Love a bowl of mac and cheese? Then you’ll fall head over heels for käsespätzle, Austria’s delicious answer to this family favorite. A creamy cheese sauce with spätzle, a noodle-shaped pasta made from egg, flour and salt topped with sautéed onions, käsespätzle combines to create the ultimate winter warmer.

Sachertorte

Created in 1832 by a brilliant baker’s apprentice, sachertorte is still one of Austria’s favorite desserts. The legendary layered cake is filled with lashings of apricot jam, while the sides are coated in chocolate ganache. We like ours served with a freshly made coffee.
