Eating in Vienna is a thing on its own. As multicultural as the city is as colourful is the variety of cuisines there. You can enjoy a meal in a shabby asian restaurant, a bobo french café or a high class Austrian restaurant. Whatever fits you best. Be picky, it ranges from very bad to very good.

But what is Austrian food?
Austrians have a very special and long tradition of eating. The meals are mostly heavy and meaty and the recipes haven't been changed for centuries. There are simply too many to name and explain them all here, but the range is vast, from Viennese Schnitzel to Sacher cake, from liver dumpling soup to "Kaiserschmarren". Discover a whole new world of taste.
