Culinary lifestyle in Austria
(c) Austrian National Tourist Office
Austrians take their food seriously - from a healthy breakfast to lunch & afternoon coffee. As the traditionally renowned hearty fare suitable for a physically hard-working population of the past has been transformed by Chefs across the country to create a new type of Austrian cuisine, a new restaurant culture has spread. While still influenced by traditional recipes utilizing the best Austria’s varied landscapes – from the plains in the east, to the hills around the Danube and into the mountain valleys – have on offer, local & fresh produces are matched with new trends & recreated in new and lighter combinations.
And so, Austria’s culinary scene is one of refined establishments offering beautifully orchestrated meals of subtle textures and polished flavours where old and new together compose a real haven for gourmets and truly represent the joy of Austrians for good eating and life.
