09Spring: Austria_Food

Recommended restaurants in Austria:

Vienna: Wiener Rathauskeller Salon Ziehrer - All-time best soup we have on our trips! We ordered cream of asparagus soup with herbal cheese & cream soup with caviar. Excellent! Besides soups, their main course are great too. Great presentation! Great taste! Great service! Voted as our favorite restaurant in this trip. As for price, it considered as moderate to expensive in Vienna, but we think it's steal for that great quality.



Vienna: Sacher Cafe - We went to Demel Cafe too, but we found the famous sacher cake from Sacher has better coco taste and softer texture (€5). Also the density and taste of the whipped cream is a lot better. Same comment for our ice coffee(€7) and ice chocolate(€7) drinks. For Demel, I don't wanna go back; For Sacher, I do! Btw, we bought some pricey dark chocolate(€4) and violet candies(€17) from Demel, um...they are just soso.





Vienna: Guesthof Zum Renner - Kelvin's friend, Joe, took us to this lovely family restaurant which was recommended by his mom. Don't be fooled by the name, it is a big restaurant packed with locals. Honestly we are the only foreigners/tourists there. Their food is truly in family size. Since we ordered a lot of food and having wine, I couldn't recall what we ate except the soup that I requested. It was a huge bowl of clear soup with beef and vegetables that could feed 5 people. As for the price, I have no idea coz it was a treat from our friend. Since Joe said it's a popular local restaurant, I keep this one is our list.


Vienna: Hot Dog - Wow! The hot dog is good. Great to have a snack before attending a concert. It located near the Staatsoper. I also love the sandwiches in Vienna, most of the bakeries are good.




Hallstatt: Braugasthof - We didn't stay in this guesthouse but went there for dinner. The food was great, especially the pancake soup and the tasty grilled local fish. Since we didn't go to other restaurants in Hallstatt, we can't compare. Anyway, we think the dishes(€50) are exceptionally good.


Salzburg: Mozart Cafe - Wow, the Salzburger Nockerl is huge and soft! It would be great to have two more people to share the dish. Fair, you won't regret if you miss it.


Salzburg: Curry Dog - We tried two curry dog shops. One is on the market square, one is inside the alley. We love the one in the alley. It's really tasty on a cold day. Btw, this store close early like 4pm. Go there early! There's a big ice-cream store nearby and it is very good indeed.
