Cafe Ritter, Vienna

One main food goal while in Vienna was for Brad to try a Wiener Schnitzel, one of the best known specialities of Viennese cuisine, and one of the national dishes of Austria. So tonight we had dinner at Cafe Ritter, one of the last large Viennese coffee houses. It dates from 1867 and is still very traditionally furnished.

We both ordered the traditional Weiner Schnitzel, which is veal covered in breadcrumbs and served with parsley potatoes. The meal was so well cooked and the servings were huge. So big in fact that Brad didn’t even order dessert. Brad enjoyed the “schnitty” and has ticked it off the “must try” list, but won’t rush out to order another one.Läs mer
