Oct. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Vienna the beautiful city of art and architecture, and of course Music! Home and inspiration to some of the world’s most famous composers such as Mozart, Wolfgang, Strauss, Wagner and many more. You can spend days simply looking at the amazing sights such as the Belvedere Palace, Fascism Monument, Roman ruins, Theseus temple, Stephanplatz, the War monument, Volksgartens etc. But this alone can’t be reason for your wanting to book a flight to Austria [http://www.travelhouseuk.co.uk/flights/europe/austria.htm]. The first and most primal question on any newcomer’s mind is “What is there to eat?”

It will be no fun roaming about this beautiful city on an empty stomach, as you cannot expect to notice the beauty of Michaelerplatz when your mind is on food, or enjoy the masterful symphonies at the Vienna Concert Hall if the grumbling in your abdomen is distracting everyone around you? What exactly does Vienna have to offer in terms cuisine? The most commercialized dishes are the Wiener Schnitzel; a breaded and deep fried veal cutlet, the Gulasch a unique kind of hotpot and of course the Vienna Sausages available in packaged from at any convenience store globally. But this is not the reason why you would want to prefer a Viennese meal.

Your day should start with the most important meal of the day Breakfast. Wake up to a beautiful bright sunny day and take your pick of the best breakfast menus involving Bread rolls and milky butter and spicy apricot jams such as the Powidl. These are usually served with side orders of cold meats and cheese such as Liptauer, if you have a sweet tooth then you best pick is the Sachertorte, a traditional chocolate cake with apricot-jam like filling.

For traditional Vienna pancakes served with applesauce try the Kaiserschmarm. The best café’s serving this traditional breakfast are Haas & Haas tea house located just behind St Stephen’s Cathedral, Le Bol on Neur Markt, Die Halle in the MQ museum’s quarter and the all famous Café Mozart situated in Innere Stadt at Albertinaplatz 2.
