Whether you like traditional Viennese
cuisine at a Beisel or prefer innovative and creative new
restaurants; whether you appreciate the culinary arts of
gourmet temples or would like to try the delicacies of
ethnic cuisines - which are offered from A (as in
Arabian) to V (as in Vietnamese) in Vienna; whether you
like trendy in-places or tranquil restaurant gardens:
Vienna offers variety and nuance.
And Vienna has tradition. In this city of dreams,
elements of different cultures have always merged to form
something unique and new. What is now known as native
Viennese cuisine actually comes from all over Europe.
Here, it was refined and redefined and enriched by the
Viennese ingredient gemütlichkeit, as you encounter it
at a coffeehouse and a Heurigen. Go out in the evening,
take a stroll, taste a little - and whet your appetite...
There are some typical Viennese Coffes;
Melange:
coffee with frothy milk
Kleiner oder grosser Brauner:
coffee with cream
Espresso:
strong, black Italian-style coffee
Einspänner:
mocha with whipped cream, served in a glass
Fiaker:
mocha with brandy, served in a glass
Cakes and pastries to accompany your coffee
Strudel:
sweet flaky pastry with apple, nut or sweet cheese
filling
Beugel:
short pastry croissant with nuts
Golatschen:
puff pastry with sweet cheese or jam filling
Rehrücken:
chocolate cake
Zimtschnecke:
spiral-shaped pastry with nut filling and sugarcoating
If you have time I suggest you to get out of your hotel
room and go a coffe house. If you do that I am sure you
will not be sorry and you will feel relaxed.
Bon Apetite..
