You will be greeted by the elements and large tables covered with white cloth.. Of course, there are normal restaurants and hipster cafes that you go to in daily life, but I did not include them in this article because they are places you can find everywhere and do not have a characteristic of Vienna’s culture..

What to Eat in Vienna?

If you say what to eat in Vienna other than sweets, then our answer is Viennese schnitzel strong>. But if you don’t eat pork for the famous Viennese schnitzel (Wiener Schnitzel), you should be careful and always ask if it’s pork before ordering anywhere.. Varieties made from different animals such as turkey (ING: turkey, ALM: Pute), chicken (ING: chicken, ALM: Hühner or Hähnchen), lamb (ING: lamb, ALM: Lamm), veal (ING: beef, ALM: Rind) it could be. In order to understand what meat something is, in English, “… meat” is usually followed by the animal name in the menu, and in German it is written adjacent as “..fleisch”.
If you don’t eat pork, you should stay away from anything that has the word ‘pork’ or ‘raw’ in it. While it is used as pork in meals, the word raw, which we can call salami, is used in foods such as pizza.. In German, it can be called Schwein, pork as Schweinefleisch, so the dish you want to order should not have the word Schwein in it.. The German for pork salami also starts with ‘Sch’, so you may remember it, Schinken.

Landtmann Cafe, Breakfast in Vienna or any meal of the day as well as a place to try just for coffee desserts. For example, you can choose goulash (beef goulash – 16.50 Euro) made from beef in the main course menu.. Among desserts, Apfelstrudel is very good, but if you’ve eaten a lot in other places before, you can say different things.
If that’s the case, a hot dessert with dough served with apple sauce on the side Kaiserschmarrn is my recommendation (it was the emperor’s favorite dessert in the cafe just before), the price is 9.50 euros. Kaiserschmarrn, which I ate for the first time after moving to Germany in 2016 and thought it was a German dessert, was the second dessert after Apfelstrudel that I was extremely surprised to be ‘Austrian, not German’.
