Foodies & Gastronomes unite!

Foodies will adore Vorarlberg's flavoursome Bergkäse cheese, Styria's fruity Weissburgunder wines and pumpkin-seed oil and Armschlag's poppy liqueur. Pop into Vienna's Grand Cacao for arty pralines and pistachio-filled Mozartkugeln. Warm up with hearty Austrian fare like tafelspitz (braised beef) and spicy goulash in the Alps. Tuck into Wiener Schnitzel (bread-crumbed veal escalope) with lashings of potato salad, washed down with gold-hued Stiegl beer. Save room for fluffy apple strudel in Vienna's 1950s-style Café Prückel, or chocolatey Sachertorte in Café Sacher.

Austrian Beer - Cheers!
A good beer has only four ingredients: water, grain, a little hops and yeast - the rest depends on the brewer’s skill. (And in Austria, we've got plenty!)
