Culinary Treats

Perusing an Austrian menu is exploring a substantial slice of the country’s cultural and economic history. Austria, always a land of individualists, derives its cuisine in part from age-old rural and manorial traditions.

The multi-ethnic Habsburg Monarchy became a culinary melting pot from which the classical dishes of the modern-day Austrian cuisine emerged. The Wiener Schnitzel began life in Milan, the goulash from Hungary, and the glories of the dessert repertoire had their origins in Bohemian kitchens. Even the Strudel started life in Turkey and found its way to Austria via Hungary.

Here are a few regional examples of Austria's culinary treats:
