Eating in Vienna, Austria: Part One

Secession Building, Vienna

As you all know, I was able to spend 18 days in Central Europe in January.  My husband was teaching a college course there, and I went along to help.  We spent half of our time in Vienna, a city that I am lucky to visit often.  My husband lived there for a year during grad school, so knows the ins and outs of the city, including where to get delicious food off the beaten path.  Even after several trips there, though, I'm still discovering new places

One of our favorite restaurants is Horvath.  Unfortunately my pictures from our anniversary dinner there didn't turn out, but I highly recommend their food: it's always been delicious and seasonal and won't break the bank.  It's located very near the Naschmarkt (large open-air market) and is easy to get to.

Before sharing some of my other favorite spots, though, I'd love to share a few non-food-related pictures (taken during the summer of 2011 and January 2012):

Ever since my first visit to Vienna, my husband had talked about Buffet Trzešniewski, a small cafe that serves one thing: open-faced egg salad sandwiches.  It wasn't until last summer on my third or fourth trip to the city, though, that I actually tried them...it just sounded a little weird to me.  But I'm so glad I did!  These aren't just any ol' egg salad sandwiches, but flavored with items that Americans might find strange.  Pickles, salmon, spicy peppers, mushrooms, herring...the list goes on and on.  And the flavors, although strange to an American palate, actually work.


The eatery is conveniently located about a block from St. Stephan's Cathedral, but is very, very tiny.  There are a couple of sit-down tables inside, but most people stand at the handful of tall tables scattered inside and out.  If you're thinking of going and don't know much German, it would be helpful to take a look at the menu online and write down what you want--or you could be adventurous and just choose randomly!  :-)  It's helpful to know what you want, though, because you order at a counter, and most people are in a hurry.



Once you've ordered your sandwiches, you order your drink and pay.  You'll receive a token for your drink, which you take over to the bar.  The most common drinks ordered are fresh-pressed orange juice and beer.  Besides being so unique, the best thing about this place is that it's cheap!  I think I got three sandwiches and orange juice for about five Euros...not a common feat in Vienna.



Another great option for a quick, but filling lunch in Vienna is a sausage stand.  I've been to many, but thanks to December 2011's Bon Appetit Magazine, I found a snazzy new one with fantastic sausages: Bitzinger. It's located near the Opera...very easy to get to for tourists.


I always order the Käsekrainer sausage, a pork sausage with cheese inside...the oozy cheese gets me every time!  Bitzinger servers their sausages with a healthy dollop of spicy mustard and a slice of fresh brown bread.  Beer is available on tap as well as soft drinks, wine, and champagne!  It's not as cheap as other sausage stands in Vienna, but the quality is a step up.


Typically, you eat on the go or standing up around the stands...here is a picture of my husband finishing his lunch:


We discovered another new restaurant during our last trip, a self-described Jewish/Asian/International restaurant called Bahur Tov.  It's a little out of the way, but I think I may have had the best hummus I've ever eaten there--creamy and flavorful with a spicy pepper salsa laid on top.  I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but there was not a drop left of the cold eggplant salad they served.  The prices were reasonable, and the staff friendly.


After a long day of sightseeing, you may be exhausted and need a break.  That's where the Palmenhaus comes in handy.  It's a large cafe that serves anything from coffee and cakes to a full menu located in part of the Hofburg palace's garden greenhouse from the early 1900s.  It's very near the palace (obviously), but also to some of the main museums.  The space is light and airy and just plain relaxing.



Although we go there mostly for coffee, tea and desserts, they usually have an affordable lunch menu (daily special) that is decent.  The cakes are delicious, though, and worth a taste!



Because Vienna is such an international city, it's chock-full of interesting eateries.  Have you been there?  Where's your favorite place for a bite?

I haven't been to Vienna, but have been to Austria, Germany and Hungary. The food in that part of the world is so not American, I love eating it. Those egg sammies look perfectly delightful. Great pictures, Mindy. Thank you for sharing.

Haven't been to Austria, but the egg sandwiches look great! (Love the sausages in Germany and Switzerland, so I assume I'd like them there too.)

Believing the matter appeared to be relieved I actually brushed aside them just as before to this dismay to uncover the moths wasn't exclusively at my lavatory plus home and obtained spread so that you can this your kitchen cabinetry. I had put together to get started to totally have really serious. I actually pest bombed all the dwelling. A moths kept. I actually pest bombed just as before with a stronger fake hermes. A moths kept. I actually not exclusively obtained moths however ended up being sitting cocoons, that were hatching outside by using minimal white colored composting worms who were moving right up this outer surface. A moths ended up being all over. Most people determined these folks in the attire, all of our cabinetry, while in the little one's products, in the outer surface, all over. A person day when i rest in the sack I actually weren't able to get to sleep thus converted a lumination for to uncover the a lot of awesome rolex replica. This outer surface ended up being moving by using minimal white colored composting worms. At this moment that it was SHOWDOWN! A sprays couldn't deliver the results; a pest bombs couldn't deliver the results. Regardless of whether I actually closed down out of each one minimal vicinity plus addressed them split couldn't deliver the results. I actually chosen to defeat by way of supper these folks. Every night the family plus I will rest to deal with together with the devices outside plus put it off. In that case we'd move a devices for plus harm! We had uncovered a chanel replica was released at nighttime plus designed minimal cocoons this hatched on the moths. If perhaps we're able to defeat a composting worms, we had a moths.
