Typically Austrian specialties

Austria is known for its excellent cuisine and its hearty delicacies, which are usually prepared over generations in local inns and restaurants according to time-honored recipes. Regional specialties such as Sachertorte and Wiener Schnitzel are diverse and delicate. And all these dishes are known far beyond the country's borders. When visiting a Heuriger in Vienna or a typical coffee house in Austria, the menu reads like a who's who of Austrian culinary arts. Austrians are proud of their centuries-old cuisine, and even in their own homes, people still cook traditional, home-style meals according to recipes from the past.

Austrian cuisine – Viennese cuisine?

Austrian cuisine is equated by many gourmets worldwide with Viennese cuisine. And that is not entirely wrong. Above all, the influences from the Austro-Hungarian era have shaped and continue to shape Austrian culinary arts. Bohemian and Hungarian influences are still clearly recognizable. For anyone who has ever tasted a real Viennese goulash or sweet Bohemian Dalken knows what Austria tastes like. Even dishes from Italy were adopted in earlier times and integrated into the local cuisine. However, regional traditions and peasant dishes were always in the foreground. Kasnock'n and crackling lard, all kinds of dumpling variations, and home-smoked bacon – things were hearty on the farm, and these ingredients can still be found in many dishes of Austrian cuisine today.

From roast pork to Old Viennese apple strudel

Austria is internationally known above all for its pastries and desserts. Because, of course, no one says no to a juicy roast pork, and a real beef soup with Schöberl as a garnish is also popular as an appetizer among young and old. But besides the many soups and fine main courses, it is above all the desserts that sweeten life in Austria. Apricot dumplings with apricots from the Wachau or a still-warm Old Viennese apple strudel made from homemade strudel dough, breadcrumbs, and, of course, slightly tart apples – what would go better with a Melange or an Einspänner?
