12 DELICIOUS Austrian dishes you MUST try in VIENNA 🇦🇹 - DIY FOOD TOUR

In this week's travel vlog we went on a DIY food tour in Vienna and tried 12 of the most delicious Austrian dishes.
We start our Vienna food tour at Bitzinger Sausage Stand where we eat a Käsekrainer sausage which is an absolute must when you come to Vienna. We then continue to Leberkäs-Pepi for a refreshing beer and a couple of delicious slices of Leberkäse which is a meatloaf that tastes similar to baloney. At Gasthaus Adlerbräu we eat Fritattensuppe or Pancakesoup and Käsespätzle (Austrian Mac and Cheese) followed by some yummy sweet and savory potato dumplings at Knödelmanufaktur. Afterwards we eat a slice of cake paired with Viennese coffee at Caffehaus. The next stop of our food tour in Vienna is Schnitzel Fan where we devour a Schnitzel Sandwich, Cheese Sandwich and a plate of crispy bakes mushrooms. We end our tour at the iconic ice-cream parlor Tichy where we try their famous Eismarillenknödel and their Viennese ice coffee.

Filmed on 26-28th of March 2023.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you to you both for all your tips and information on visiting Vienna. We have just returned from a 4 day visit and have had a great time

@2:10 The "Leber" in Leberkäse actually originates from the word "Laib" (loaf) or the old germanic "laiba" (leftover). And the "Käse" part comes from the word "kas" in old bavarian-german dialects, which just means some kind of edible mixture.

@10:22 "Verlängerter" is made by diluting a strong black mocha with the same amount of hot water. This process of diluting food is sometimes referred to as 'verlängern' (extend, lengthen). It is similar to an 'americano', where the cup is brewed using more water (making the coffee less strong), but preserves more of the aromatic 'kick' of the mocha.

All the food looks incredible! My mouth was watering watching you try all these goodies! Well done! ❤️❤️

[jeffhampton]

Thanks for watching this week's video! We hope you enjoyed our food tour in Vienna! Austrian food is delicious but quite heavy so we had to film this one over a few days 😆. We loved every bite though and we can't wait to come back and eat more yummy Austrian food. We always love making food videos. We can't wait to make one in the next destination! ☺ - Brandon & Anja

Nice you are showing lesser known foods. Those Knodels looked wonderful. Fried cheese sandwich, oh please! Hi from Oregon US

In Vienna right now, thanks for the great advice, you guys crack me and my wife up

If you can, you should try Wiener Lager Beer, the oldest type of Lager that is. Unfortunately it is hard to find even in Viennas Restaurants today. Look for Ottakringer or Schwechater Brauerei - Signs.

• I prefer Wiener Kalbsschnitzel, and what I liked about the version at Meissl & Schadn was getting that seasoned piece deep-fried in lard; the other two fry-choices are vegetable oil or butter.
• Pferdeleberkäse from Gumprecht (a long standing local company), at Karmelitermarkt (2.), Viktor Adler Markt (10.), Meidlinger Markt (12.). Because also, neighbourhood- & farmers' markets.
• To go budget, simply walk into a Billa or Spar, as these grocery chains are found everywhere in Vienna. Wander over to their deli counter and see what's available. Depending on cut/thickness and weight, a Leberkäsesemmel and a bottled drink should cost about €5 (including Pfand/deposit).
• A couple of key locations that aren't in train stations *are* open on Sunday: e.g., Billa Neuer Markt, Spar (near the) MQ.

A "Verlängerter" is a tiny strong espresso, but with more hot water in a larger cup. You geht it with cream.

whoever advised you where to eat in Vienna did a great job. Würstelstand behind the Opera house is legendary and Adlerbräu zum Waldviertler is still one of the best places to get authentic food at somewhat moderate prices. Tichy is also legendary. Been there a lot as a kid when my uncle and aunt took us there for a treat.

[TheFluffiesChannel]

Thanks for sharing these places. We definitely want to visit Tichy and Knödelmanufakture next time we visit Vienna. Stay Fluffy (Eric)

Leberkäs mit Knoblauch und Spinat habe ich leider bei uns noch nicht gesehen, schmeckt sicher seeehr lecker😂.Einige leckere Sachen treiben einen ja das Wasser im Munde zusammen, wie auch die Käsespätzle mmh.

[spyhunter]

Love you guys! We’re heading to Vienna and Budapest for the first time in a few weeks. I swear I’ve watched yall eat at least 50 things lol. Safe Travels, thanks for all the great info!

[Joisa]

Yes you got the speckstangerl.

"Verlängert" means elongated. It simply is an espresso diluted with water. Traditionally, coffee houses were the place where you could meet friends or read the newspapers, or... As it is not opportune to stay for hours with only one consumption, the "elongated" coffee by its volume spread that time. There are numerous other curious examples, e.g: The "Einspänner" - a black espresso with sugar and a cream top - also has traditional roots: It was the first coffe-to-go, and created for the horse cart drivers. Horse carts - and their drivers - were the predecessor of delivery vans, and most of them with only one horse. The drivers took the coffee out in the cold, where the cream top prevented it from cooling down. The "Kapuziner". It is an espresso with a few drops of milk, which yields the exact color of the frocks of the Kapuziner (Capuchins in en) monks. The Italian word cappuccino stems from this. And so on.

Coffee in Vienna is traditionally espresso based, though not as strong as the Itaiian ristretto. A special coffee blend is the "Wiener Mischung", a balanced mixture of dark and more light roasted beans. In Vienna, there are small roasting shops, where you can select from a variety of creations and buy or enjoy them right there. As you could have guessed, I am a Viennese, so let my finish with a clue: The first one or two coffees produced by such an espresso machine after warm up taste for me like ... "dishwater" may be too strong. Although a reputable restaurant would not serve this, I consider it to be potentially safer in a hotel for example, not to be among the first at breakfast - if they do not serve filter coffee at all.

I loved my Rick Steve’s tours that included Vienna but would have rather eaten all of this beautiful food than strolling the bajillion churches, castles & museums!😃

[littlecookingtips]

Wow. You guys made us drool:) Amazing food tour of Vienna! We wish this video existed before we went to Vienna in January lol ! Now we have to go again, and try all those places you suggested! One of them though, we already tried: Pepi Leberkäse ! What an AWESOME place that was! We immediately subscribed, kudos for your wonderful video and the amazing job!

A Verlängerter (= lit. "elongated one") is a milder coffee with more water, as opposed to the "short" Espresso/Mokka :)
