Nowadays it doesn’t matter what city you’re in, you can always find all types of cuisine to suit any traveler’s taste. Some people always want pizza no matter where they are. Hamburgers and fries are another such example. People are often scared to try local cuisine which is unfortunate because it takes all the fun out of traveling in foreign countries. When in Vienna you should try some local German and Eastern European cuisine. Two top rated restaurants that offer local cuisine are Waldviertlerhof and Palatschinken.
Waldviertlerhof is less expensive than the average local restaurant at an average of $11 to US$20 per dish. The restaurant has an authentic Austrian country decor complete with pine wood furniture. It is a lively local eatery where people come to drink beer, wine and to socialize. Their specialty is Toscana Schnitzel which tastes quite different from the standard Wiener Schnitzel. Crepes topped with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce are a delectable dessert option.
Palatschinken is another restaurant that offers local cuisine. The name Palatschinken means pancake which is what this restaurant has to offer. In fact this restaurant offers every single type of pancake that you can imagine. The nice thing about the restaurant is that they have a menu in French and English explaining what all the dishes are. The Palatschinken opens at 10 AM every morning and closes at midnight. Prices here are considered less expensive than in the average Viennese restaurant. Most dishes cost less than US$10.
