The imperial table
Vienna eats like the capital of an empire, because it was one. The Naschmarkt is the place to start – a long market of stalls, delis and restaurants – before the classics: a plate-covering Wiener Schnitzel (veal, pounded thin and fried golden), Tafelspitz (the boiled beef Emperor Franz Joseph ate daily), and hearty goulash. On the street, the Würstelstand (sausage stand) is a Viennese ritual – order a Käsekrainer, the cheese-filled sausage.
Sweets and coffee
Vienna’s sweet tooth is legendary: Sachertorte, apple strudel, and Kaiserschmarrn, best enjoyed in a grand coffee house – a UNESCO-recognised institution with its own rituals (see our coffee-house tours). A food tour ties the market, the classics and the sweets together. Learn to cook them in a Vienna cooking class, and read what to eat in Vienna.
