Wiener Schnitzel
The Wiener Schnitzel is a well-known dish in many other European countries that many don't even realize that it comes from Austria. However, to experience the real Wiener Schnitzel, you have to be in the country itself, although the schnitzel itself is originally from Milan. The Wiener Schnitzel is made from lean veal from the hind leg of the animal. The meat is then breaded and quickly fried in lard or oil. The Wiener Schnitzel is traditionally served with lemon.The most famous Schnitzel!

Tiroler Gröstl
Another traditional Austrian dish is Tiroler Gröstl, to which the description 'simple but very tasty' applies. It consists of potatoes that are cut into thin slices and baked in the pan with bacon and onion. The dish is sprinkled with parsley before serving and is served with two fried eggs. Tiroler Gröstl is enjoyed all year round and is very popular in both winter and summer. You can find the recipe here.Kaiserschmarrn
This dessert will be very recognisable to many because it resembles a pancake. However, because the stiffly beaten egg whites are whipped into the batter at the end, the Kaiserschmarrn dish has a somewhat lighter character. The recipe owes its name to Emperor Franz Joseph who counted this dish among his favourites. Kaiserschmarrn is traditionally served with powdered sugar and plum compote. Read the recipe here.
