One of the biggest reasons that people love to travel have to do with food. Sure, seeing wonderful sights and historical artifacts have their own pleasures, but the culinary adventures we experience in foreign countries can be just as gratifying. Next time you head to Vienna, here are three cool kinds of food and drink to check out.
Sachertorte
Cafe culture in Vienna is about as classic as it gets, and that’s as much true as it is for the coffee as it is for the baked goods served there. In fact, the Sachertorte is a unique jam-enhanced chocolate cake that was created decades ago, and it still served today in many cafes there.
Wienerschnitzel
If you’re familiar with the fast food chain that goes by the name of Wienerschnitzel, we’re here to tell you they didn’t just come up with that on the spot. Wiener actually translates to “Vienna”, and schnitzel is a breaded chicken dish. That should tell you just how close to home this dish is in Vienna.
Melange
As mentioned, cafe culture in Vienna goes back centuries, and there are reasons for that. One of them is that they know their way around a delicious cappuchino, and they particularly make a one-of-a-kind melange—which is a cappuchino with a whipped cream twist.
