Hey guys! Are you still in AUT? I get the feeling that everyone who does reviews about vienna, misses the real Danube and only goes to the ugly Donau River (the canal) and thinks that's the big river^^ There is actually a 24km long island in the big river, the Donau-Insel. From there you can go by bike through the Wachau(beautiful wine region) visit "Heurige", go in fish & wine restaurants and hike in the mountain roads to all the castles along the danube. That's what austrians would do ;) Or take a hike onto the Ötscher mountain, over the Erlauftal and go with the mariazellerbahn.👌
Amazing video! Great visual and audio quality, awesome content.. and you guys don't feel like you have to be in perfection mode all the time, very casual and lovely!
If you loved the potato salad, travel to the region Styria (Graz, second largest city and very underrated. Great city) and try the Kürbiskernöl. It’s pumpkin seed oil which sounds “odd” but truly amazing. They eat it with potato salad, a corn salad or just salad. It’s my favorite from that region.
We really enjoyed your Austrian food tour. We especially loved that you guys put the price of the food you guys ate at each location. Can't wait till the next video.
We just liked and subscribed after watching this video. Love the relaxed energy you both have and your calm way of sharing and describing new things you encounter. You are a lovely fun couple without any over the top wildness. And your tableside manners when you eat are not a turn-off lol. Ok, off to watch more of your vids.
I LOVED the music selection! Hearing the intro to "Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald" by Strauß Jr. at 1:40 just made my Viennese heart melt! 14:19: "schmarren" or "schmarrn" means something like "nonsense" or "rubbish". The origin of the name is said to be as follows: A pastry chef called Leopold at the court kitchen liked to create light desserts for Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"), who was very conscious of her figure. But when served to her at dinner, his new creation of omelet dough and plum jam did not impress the empress at all. The emperor came to the rescue and ate his wife’s portion, saying “Well, then let me have this nonsense that our Leopold has whipped up again”. According to one version of the legend, the dish was first made for the wedding of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth in 1854 and then named “Kaiserinschmarrn” after the empress. But since it suited the emperor’s taste better, it was renamed accordingly.
Figlmüller is famous only among tourists. The "Wiener Schnitzel" they are serving there isn't actually a Wiener Schnitzel, because made not with veal, but with pork.
@@izno73 , Whatever she had said, the Figlmüller`s Schnitzel for tourists is made from swine. There is another spot in Vienna, belonging to the same owner, it is called Figls. -- There you will get a real Wiener Schnitzel. Grinzinger Straße 55.
Tafelspitz is actually just the name of the cut ..the cut "Tafelspitz" is from the end of the round top = basically the rump cap located directly before the tail from a young ox and is the most expensive cut of meat from beef. The exactly same dish (exactly the same preparing + exactly the same sidedishes) is also made with an other cut from the oxen´s shoulder as well but then the dish isn´t named "Tafelspitz" obviously and has a more favourable prize. The coffee with the whipped cream is named "Einspänner" (= literally translated kinda "One harness") which is actually the term describing "a one horse carriage"..while "a two horse carriage" is called "Zweispänner" basically literally meaning "Two harness" The horse carriage drivers in the past used to get that type of coffee in their own personal glass (= a classical wine glas with a handle = that´s why it is nowadays "traditionally served" in that sort of glass) in order to take away for drinking it at their carriages´coach box (no time for them to sit in the coffee houses) and the big chunk of whipped cream had just the purpose to keep the coffee beneath the cream hot by sealing the coffee from the ambient air....when that particular coffee also got additionally a shot of cherry rum then that coffee is named "Fiaker" instead, which is the Viennese term for "a carriage driver" and also used as a general colloquial term for horse carriages no matter if harnessed one horse (=Einspänner) or two horses (=Zweispänner)
Thank you . I was about to tell them Pretty much the same thing. I lived in Vienna for 6 1/2 years. When my father was stationed at the American Embassy. I loved it. In my heart I will also be a Wienerin!
@@mick-berry5331 Neither Filet nor Lungenbraten are "Kochfleisch", G´scheiterl. And nobody who has a clear mind would get the idea to boil a Filet or a Lungenbraten. You are comparing apples with oranges. Tafelspitz IS the most expensive cut ....for "Kochfleisch"="boiled meat". Usually there is no need to go that far into detail, because usually it is common knowledge that "Tafelspitz" is "Kochfleisch" and therefore also not suitable at all for roast or grill, but obviously YOU need that extra information, in order to understand.
One thing about the Schnitzel. It looks good, but really well made Schnitzel doesn't have the Breadcrumb covering fully glued to the meat. The art is to have it gold brown with little bubbles of air forming under the breadcrumbs. That gives a Schnitzel a bit of a wavey form, instead of the flat board form yours had. Just a bit of nitpicking there.
Beautiful video on Austria. Austrian food looks very tempting and I learned a lot from Chad’s fun facts of the Austrian grandeur during the days of the Austrian empire.
the noodles served with gulasch are called Spätzle, thats also a very typical dish in switzerland, Austria and Germany the butter is put into cold water to prevent melting of it
that "carnival" you mentioned, where the Ferris Wheel is located, is called "Würstelprater" and is located in the Wiener Prater, you can walk there the whole year and the rides are open from March till October. There is also a very famous restaurant called "Schweizerhaus", the next time you have to try the pork knuckle and some Erdäpfelpuffer (potatoe pancakes?!) there!!!
As a local it’s nice to see how you enjoyed your time! Yes, those were the more expensive and even touristy places (e.g. Central), but that’s ok and why not spoil yourselves. It’s fun to see when Americans do cheers with food too, which is not common in Europe at all to my knowledge 🙂
I was always told my family has ancestors from south Austria. Loved watching this video showing some of the cuisine! Someday I hope to travel there. It would be neat to walk in my ancestors shoes somewhat :)
Good morning from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents. Great contents. I hope to visit that country. I liked and subscribed to your channel for more contents.
Yum! You went to all the places and ate the exact same meals we had when we were in Austria a few years ago. 😊 BTW, the rides around the ferris wheel are permanent, called the Prater... one of the weirdest places we've ever visited. Enjoy Austria, and thanks for a great video.
Hi Claire & Chad, I want to thank you guys for this recommendation!! I visited Vienna & I made a reservation for October10th in advance at Figlmülle, we had the “Wiener Schnitzel” with the Sálate and also tried that soda you guys had, all amazing 😋😜 thanks 🙏🏼
Was great fun to come back from my walk with my dog to find this as a suggested video, since we walk, as today, past many of these sites. It's almost like TH-cam was spying on us. Actually, in the last couple of years, we have just talked about future purchases around our computers and ads for those items mysteriously start popping up on our internet. So glad you enjoyed the city as much as I do. FYI, the German "W" is pronounced like a "V" (and the "V" is pronounced like an "F") and the "U" in your Almdudler is like the "U" in dude. Was very strange to hear Wiener pronounced like and American hotdog, but I'll get over it. Mostly, I was glad to see you enjoyed everything so much. There are so many more things to see and do, but maybe you hit them next time. Maybe next time, you decide to stay, as I did.
Yes ,the food in Austria is lovely.. those noodles are Spaetzle , i really liked them too when we were there. We did the Ferris wheel at night ,which was really nice too, with all the city lights.. and hardly any people and had the car to ourselves . I found out from a german lady in a beer hall, they like the long glass (500ml ) of beer.. so it doesn`t go flat too fast. i was drinking Steins lol Very nice presentation.Nice couple too.
Guys 🧑👸🌹thanks for sharing all the food and coffees and beer looks great. Vienna🌉 is top on my bucket list. Love your channel, you are cute couple. Have fun and stay safe. Cheers ☕☕🧔
I’m from Croatia I grew up on the beef broth haha and the noodles(shredded pancakes). I hate it because my mom cooks it at least once a week. It’s heavy but comforting
Hello Chad and Claire, this has been an exciting experience following both of your journey. At one point back in the day, I only stopped for a few hours in Austria without having a chance to go around, so I enjoy this episode very much & gonna catch up with the rest of your videos. By the way I also love that TV show you were talking about. Cheer!
I actually started using Get Your Guide because of your Iceland videos! (Or maybe it was a different place, but I think it's from the Iceland series...)
I have not been to Austria or Central Europe, but recognise all the classics that the Europeans brought to Australia (including my mother’s dishes) that I grew up eating, which led to me cooking them myself for my children. Of course, the delicious Asian and middle eastern influences are also now common place here too.
Another great video. I haven't been to Austria but been to other parts of Europe. Love the part on the boy somersault at the grass and the peaceful rest part, thats what travel is about'. Wonder when are both of you coming to Singapore (my native country).
its not Swibel rostbraten it is spoken Tsweebel rostbraten. Zwiebel is the german word for onion. i am not a fan of sachertorte (the e at the end is not silent). but the apfelstrudel is really good. regarding traditional coffee places, you found a loud fancy place for tourists, that is not really the real deal in my opinion. a typical austrian "Kaffeehaus" is more quiet, usually a bit worn out, sometimes with dark wooden panels on the wall. it is a place where doing nothing is the goal, staying there a bit longer than just to enjoy coffee and cake or for a breakfast. when you really emptied your mind, then your creativity kicks in and some new fresh thoughts and ideas appear. that only works when you go there without anything to do. some people read the newspaper but if you get bored from reading it, you put it away and then listen to your thoughts. for americans it is probably difficult to get an authentic feeling for the coffee house tradition in austria because it needs time and many tourists don't have time. especially for US people it is not common to stay longer in a restaurant after having finished the meal. which is the opposite in a coffee house where spending time is the essence. and you have to try different coffee places to understand what is cool about it.
Interesting to see foreign people's thoughts of the meals i eat twice a week. Gulasch, Schnitzel, Zwiebelrostbraten and Tafelspitz is right on top of the list of my most preferred food and eat those dishes on a regular basis ^^.
The jam/preserve presented with roasts and other meat dishes is actually made from red currants. Lingonberries aren’t endemic here, but red and black currants are widely common and very traditional berries. My grandmother used to have them in her garden and she made syrup and jams out of them. I honestly never have had a lingonberry in my life 😅
@@simama...xox.. Nicht ganz korrekt, hier ein Auszug von der Plantura Website: Gleich vorneweg klären wir die harten pflanzensystematischen Fakten: Die Cranberry und die Preiselbeere sind verschiedene Arten. Der gleiche Gattungsname Vaccinium lässt aber schon erkennen, dass ihre Ähnlichkeit sehr wohl auf Verwandtschaft beruht. Sie zählen gemeinsam mit der Heidelbeere und über 450 weiteren Arten zur Gattung der Heidelbeeren (Vaccinium). Die Cranberry oder Amerikanische Moosbeere ist ein in Nordamerika heimisches, kriechendes Wildgehölz der Hochmoore, das im großen Stil angebaut wird. Andere Moosbeeren sind auch in Eurasien verbreitet, werden hier aber nicht näher vorgestellt. Die vier großen Luftkammern der scharlachroten Frucht tragen viel zur großen wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung der „Kranichbeere“ bei: Sie ermöglichen eine besonders effiziente Ernte, wenn die Felder geflutet werden und die Beeren obenauf schwimmen. Über 300.000 Tonnen im Jahr werden allein in den USA, dem Land mit der weltweit größten Produktion, geerntet.
Hello from France In Austria, I did a one-week ski trip about fifty km from Salzburg, on Wednesday we took a break from our sports activities to visit this city, is it also on your program?
That's not jam with your Kaiserschmarren, that's Zwetschgenröster. That's like comparing Burgers with Sandwiches. Also Kaiserschmarren and shredded pancakes aren't the same. And while we're at it, your pancake noodles are Frittaten and they're made out of Palatschinken, the Austrian way of making crêpes, not pancakes
1:16 Let me clearify: Its so famous among tourists. The product is decent but its definitly mass-produced in the meanwhile and overhyped. Not my first choice anymore. 3:30 This version is a local Vienniese variant and has only very little to do with actual hungarian Gylasch - which on the other hand you can find decent renditions of in the city. 7:35 Or just ask a local when to go there and avoid the line all together xD 10:30 Austria is not a beer country. We are not Germany. The beer is decent, sure, but nothing above average. The wine is really recommenable on the other hand specially the white ones. 18:08 The coffee tradition goes back to the late 17th century. There are coffee houses, like Frauenhuber 4ex where Mozart and Beethoven played their compositions. Cafe Central WAS the coffee house for progressive, socialist minds (which is why Trotzky and Lenin visited it during their exile), but other then that just one coffee house of many. It became an overrun tourist hub in the last few years and as such utterly impossible to visit as a normal local anymore. Dont recommend it, far to much fuzz. 18:44 the basic coffee is called Mokka, not Espresso - different technique, different consistency of coffe and such completly different flavour. Melange is supposed to be topped with milk cream - if the used milk foam they sued the wrong technique (that would be more similar to a Cappuccino - even though the time of day ofc wouldnt allow that anymore). 20:22 With Einspänner you are actually supposed to drink the coffee THROUGH the whipped cream, which is why you usually get it in a tall narrow glass.
@@myacob2142 As an Austrian living 20 minutes away from vienna. I would recommend one of the multiple Figelmüller locations for very affordable and amazing traditional veal or pork schnitzel, another one would be würstelstand - Zum scharfen Rene, they serve traditional austrian Würstelstand classics and make their own hot Versions that range from mildly spicy up to 3.000.000 shu and they also serve wine by the bottle as a streetfood vendor! Price for a meal and drink start at ~30€ max p.p My personal favorite restaurants in vienna would be Mochi which is a 1 michellin stared izakaya spot with amazing japanese fusion food. The Mraz und Sohn is also a fantastic spot to visit although i as well as no one could tell you what the menu is for the day because it varies daily. These options are more pricey ~150€ p.p minimum without wine pairing If you really want to catch an Experience without second thought about cost the option in my opinion are the Amador, which is austrias first ever 3 micheline star rating and they serve a clever mix of spanish, greek and austrian ingredients and dishes. Restaurant Konstantin Fillippou and their sister restaurants are simply amazing, i have not seen a more abscure, rare and expansive wine list in austria and it pair’s unbelievable wirhe the unique cuisine that mixes austrian and Mediterranean flavors like i have not seem bevor (!!! I paid for 9 courses with full wine pairing around 700€ p.p). You could at least can get the same flavor profil and maestro chef at O boufes which is Fillipou‘s Bistro or mama konstantina for authentic greek flavors! At last an honourable mention for a restaurant i have not personally tried but was told it would be mind opening. That would be SENNS Restaurant in salzburg located in an old bell foundrie, they serve modern contenporary / fine dining and will easily cost 500€+ per person as i was told. One last, i would actively avoid the steirer eck in vienna, it‘s highly overpriced for simple things such as a veal schnitzel, potato salad and a beer cost me around 90€ in 2018, it just really is not worth ir it‘s just okay even though its nr. 22 ob the best restaurants worldwide, i would much rather get a Käsekrainer at the würstelstand or a Doner at ferhats. Anyway i hope i helped a little. :)
Love your food tour of a country my DNA claims. 😊 Vienna tortes are outstanding...and I'm glad Austria has numerous walking trails/forests...to shed the 9000 calories you will consume in one meal. Enjoy your travels! 😊😊😊😊
note: Figlmüller/Plachutta are typical tourist restaurants - they are very good, but also overpriced. i would recommend asking locals about where to go for a good schnitzel (and avoid the 1st district if you wanna save money lol). for backpackers on a budget that are looking for a great, albeit not typically austrian, meal i highly recommend Der Wiener Deewan - an all you can eat, pay as you want/can Pakistani buffet restaurant near vienna university.
To the occasional Austrian cuisine hater: Austria had 151 million tourist nightings in 2023 (even more in 2024, the numbers are not out yet). Don't you think that at least a fraction of these tourists came because of the excellent Austrian food? Or the other way round: do you think these millions and millions of tourists would keep coming if Austrian food were that disgusting? BTW, on a per capita basis Austria is the world champion of tourism, outdoing the likes of Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland etc.etc. The numbers are out there, just do the math.
Enjoy the moment! Your food is getting cold. Don't be like the people, who go to a concert just to watch the gig on their phones screen. (ffs there are multible cameras, you can watch crappy videos of it later)
It's not a carneval "just happening", it's the Wiener Prater, which is an almost all-year thing. The "shredded pancakes" are called "Fritatten". If they are not shredded, they are called "Palatschinken" and are usually eaten with a spread of either Nutella or jam. What you have to add is that you basically went to the most expensive places to get these food items. There are very good alternatives that are a lot cheaper. Coffee in Vienna dates back to the Turkish siege. When the Turks where beaten back, they left behind lots of sacks of coffee beans and with that Viennese people invented all the different coffee variations.
Little correction: Kaiser doesnt mean King...its Emperor! King is König! At Hofburg are not the Gouvernment Offices! Only our President has his Residence in it!
17,90€ isn't the original Wiener Schnitzel from calf, it's the Figlmüller Schnitzel from the pig. Today 2023 Pig is 18,90 and Calf is 23,90 so there is NO WAY you get that expensive meat in that size in under 20€. Greatings from Vienna
it may look like weener shnitzel but to German speakers its veener schnitzel. Just as Wien is not ween but veen (Vienna). The English 'v' actually doesn't exist in German 'V' in German is pronounced fow; Volkeswagen is pronounced Folkesvaagen. Not pedantry but essential understanding. Its a stretch for Americans to understand but in 1814 Wien (Vienna) was the cultural heart of the western world. Britain and ultimately north America triumphed by the historical accident of colonialism - and the holocaust of indigenous peoples.
1. This dead slice has nothing to do with a real Wiener Schnitzel. 2. Same goes for the goulash. 3. The Tafelspitz. Oh well. A 6 out of 10. 4. Kaiserschmarn was never a dessert. And when the original Sachercafe (in the Hotel Sacher) is 10 Minutes away on foot, you should visit it.

Yes ,the food in Austria is lovely.. those noodles are Spaetzle , i really liked them too when we were there. We did the Ferris wheel at night ,which was really nice too, with all the city lights.. and hardly any people and had the car to ourselves . I found out from a german lady in a beer hall, they like the long glass (500ml ) of beer.. so it doesn`t go flat too fast. i was drinking Steins lol Very nice presentation.Nice couple too.
Those "noodles" are NOCKERL!
Austria was one of my favorite countries that I’ve been to! So excited you guys are there! 🎉
Guys 🧑👸🌹thanks for sharing all the food and coffees and beer looks great. Vienna🌉 is top on my bucket list. Love your channel, you are cute couple. Have fun and stay safe. Cheers ☕☕🧔
thanks for putting in prices. Useful info
Great video, thank you !
Yep, sprinkle lemon on the schnitzel. And then salt. And the noodles are called spaetzle. Made on potatoes. Simlar to Italian gnocchi.
Exciting for that ❤ love your content ❤ more food vídeos please
so nice
I’m from Croatia I grew up on the beef broth haha and the noodles(shredded pancakes). I hate it because my mom cooks it at least once a week. It’s heavy but comforting
Oh that looks so good I’m so hungry.
Hello Chad and Claire, this has been an exciting experience following both of your journey. At one point back in the day, I only stopped for a few hours in Austria without having a chance to go around, so I enjoy this episode very much & gonna catch up with the rest of your videos. By the way I also love that TV show you were talking about. Cheer!
I actually started using Get Your Guide because of your Iceland videos! (Or maybe it was a different place, but I think it's from the Iceland series...)
those noodles are called "spaetzle" - or spets-la. you ate them in munich where you called them macaroni and cheese
There is so much more interesting and delicious to eat in Austria!
I have not been to Austria or Central Europe, but recognise all the classics that the Europeans brought to Australia (including my mother’s dishes) that I grew up eating, which led to me cooking them myself for my children. Of course, the delicious Asian and middle eastern influences are also now common place here too.
Very true! We saw lots of immigrants opening resturaunt in Austria as well!
Another great video. I haven't been to Austria but been to other parts of Europe. Love the part on the boy somersault at the grass and the peaceful rest part, thats what travel is about'. Wonder when are both of you coming to Singapore (my native country).
its not Swibel rostbraten it is spoken Tsweebel rostbraten. Zwiebel is the german word for onion.
i am not a fan of sachertorte (the e at the end is not silent). but the apfelstrudel is really good.
regarding traditional coffee places, you found a loud fancy place for tourists, that is not really the real deal in my opinion. a typical austrian "Kaffeehaus" is more quiet, usually a bit worn out, sometimes with dark wooden panels on the wall. it is a place where doing nothing is the goal, staying there a bit longer than just to enjoy coffee and cake or for a breakfast. when you really emptied your mind, then your creativity kicks in and some new fresh thoughts and ideas appear. that only works when you go there without anything to do. some people read the newspaper but if you get bored from reading it, you put it away and then listen to your thoughts.
for americans it is probably difficult to get an authentic feeling for the coffee house tradition in austria because it needs time and many tourists don't have time. especially for US people it is not common to stay longer in a restaurant after having finished the meal. which is the opposite in a coffee house where spending time is the essence. and you have to try different coffee places to understand what is cool about it.
Interesting to see foreign people's thoughts of the meals i eat twice a week. Gulasch, Schnitzel, Zwiebelrostbraten and Tafelspitz is right on top of the list of my most preferred food and eat those dishes on a regular basis ^^.
How about Germknoedel?
I loved
Ahhh you guys have made me wanna go back to Vienna! The food and history was just amazing!
The jam/preserve presented with roasts and other meat dishes is actually made from red currants. Lingonberries aren’t endemic here, but red and black currants are widely common and very traditional berries. My grandmother used to have them in her garden and she made syrup and jams out of them. I honestly never have had a lingonberry in my life 😅
It is actually usually Preiselbeeren which is cranberries .
@@simama...xox..
Nicht ganz korrekt, hier ein Auszug von der Plantura Website:
Gleich vorneweg klären wir die harten pflanzensystematischen Fakten: Die Cranberry und die Preiselbeere sind verschiedene Arten. Der gleiche Gattungsname Vaccinium lässt aber schon erkennen, dass ihre Ähnlichkeit sehr wohl auf Verwandtschaft beruht. Sie zählen gemeinsam mit der Heidelbeere und über 450 weiteren Arten zur Gattung der Heidelbeeren (Vaccinium).
Die Cranberry oder Amerikanische Moosbeere ist ein in Nordamerika heimisches, kriechendes Wildgehölz der Hochmoore, das im großen Stil angebaut wird. Andere Moosbeeren sind auch in Eurasien verbreitet, werden hier aber nicht näher vorgestellt. Die vier großen Luftkammern der scharlachroten Frucht tragen viel zur großen wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung der „Kranichbeere“ bei: Sie ermöglichen eine besonders effiziente Ernte, wenn die Felder geflutet werden und die Beeren obenauf schwimmen. Über 300.000 Tonnen im Jahr werden allein in den USA, dem Land mit der weltweit größten Produktion, geerntet.
Yes, preiselbeeren also typically most schnitzel in austria aren't that flat as well.
nice video! but, 4,50 für einen almdulder? hat der an klopfa?
Is' halt der Figlmüller......
" Frittatensuppe " we call this soup! Best soup in the world!
typical beef soup. these pan cakes are easy to make. important difference: no sugar
I don't see the names of the restaurants anywhere. Does anyone know them?
love it!
WOW! Thanks for making my mouth water and my senses explode.
What a treat this video is!
Hello from France
In Austria, I did a one-week ski trip about fifty km from Salzburg, on Wednesday we took a break from our sports activities to visit this city, is it also on your program?
Salzburg was on our list, but not skiing unfortunately!
@@ChadandClaire It's on for skiing you were there a little late, the season was over.
What do you guys do to afford this at your age?
What the name of the restaurant that served thenTafelspitz ?
Plachutta. Other places have it as well
Good lord! The amount of food you head for dinner! I would have exploded :D
kaiser is not king its above the king and means emporer
That's not jam with your Kaiserschmarren, that's Zwetschgenröster. That's like comparing Burgers with Sandwiches. Also Kaiserschmarren and shredded pancakes aren't the same. And while we're at it, your pancake noodles are Frittaten and they're made out of Palatschinken, the Austrian way of making crêpes, not pancakes
Guess what I can cook all that food like my mother I was born in Vienna and going g down memory lane thank you
Thanks for the video. Are the schnitzels fried in the same oil as the pork?
a real "Wiener Schnitzel" is pan fried in clarified butter. only cheap schnitzel are fried in oil.
The veal schnitzel at the beginning was pork…
Plachutta is great. The service is incredible
Wo ist beuschel????
Beuschel, salonbeuschel, am bestens
@@JyV79 ,Ja ja,:)😋
The fooding facility of vienna is really healthy n i want to have dinnner in city vienna with my pair at night.
I am sure how you would know what sodas would taste like from the olden days.😁
Nice video. #harpazo soon!
1:16 Let me clearify: Its so famous among tourists. The product is decent but its definitly mass-produced in the meanwhile and overhyped. Not my first choice anymore.
3:30 This version is a local Vienniese variant and has only very little to do with actual hungarian Gylasch - which on the other hand you can find decent renditions of in the city.
7:35 Or just ask a local when to go there and avoid the line all together xD
10:30 Austria is not a beer country. We are not Germany. The beer is decent, sure, but nothing above average. The wine is really recommenable on the other hand specially the white ones.
18:08 The coffee tradition goes back to the late 17th century. There are coffee houses, like Frauenhuber 4ex where Mozart and Beethoven played their compositions. Cafe Central WAS the coffee house for progressive, socialist minds (which is why Trotzky and Lenin visited it during their exile), but other then that just one coffee house of many. It became an overrun tourist hub in the last few years and as such utterly impossible to visit as a normal local anymore. Dont recommend it, far to much fuzz.
18:44 the basic coffee is called Mokka, not Espresso - different technique, different consistency of coffe and such completly different flavour.
Melange is supposed to be topped with milk cream - if the used milk foam they sued the wrong technique (that would be more similar to a Cappuccino - even though the time of day ofc wouldnt allow that anymore).
20:22 With Einspänner you are actually supposed to drink the coffee THROUGH the whipped cream, which is why you usually get it in a tall narrow glass.
Another Chad + Claire video always makes my day
I been watching their old videos recently
Damn expensive!😮
only at the fancy places for tourists. normal austrians do not go there.
me, as an Austrian but not based in vienna, are wondering why you are eating on the most expensive places? those are not normaly prices!!
Most of them aren't that bad. Plachutta will set you back about 60 euros per person (excluding dessert)
@susagasser2648 which places would you recommend that serves traditional Austrian food but are affordable?
May you suggest good affordable restaurant for Schnitzel , where locals eat ?
@@myacob2142 As an Austrian living 20 minutes away from vienna. I would recommend one of the multiple Figelmüller locations for very affordable and amazing traditional veal or pork schnitzel, another one would be würstelstand - Zum scharfen Rene, they serve traditional austrian Würstelstand classics and make their own hot Versions that range from mildly spicy up to 3.000.000 shu and they also serve wine by the bottle as a streetfood vendor! Price for a meal and drink start at ~30€ max p.p
My personal favorite restaurants in vienna would be Mochi which is a 1 michellin stared izakaya spot with amazing japanese fusion food. The Mraz und Sohn is also a fantastic spot to visit although i as well as no one could tell you what the menu is for the day because it varies daily. These options are more pricey ~150€ p.p minimum without wine pairing
If you really want to catch an Experience without second thought about cost the option in my opinion are the Amador, which is austrias first ever 3 micheline star rating and they serve a clever mix of spanish, greek and austrian ingredients and dishes. Restaurant Konstantin Fillippou and their sister restaurants are simply amazing, i have not seen a more abscure, rare and expansive wine list in austria and it pair’s unbelievable wirhe the unique cuisine that mixes austrian and Mediterranean flavors like i have not seem bevor (!!! I paid for 9 courses with full wine pairing around 700€ p.p). You could at least can get the same flavor profil and maestro chef at O boufes which is Fillipou‘s Bistro or mama konstantina for authentic greek flavors!
At last an honourable mention for a restaurant i have not personally tried but was told it would be mind opening. That would be SENNS Restaurant in salzburg located in an old bell foundrie, they serve modern contenporary / fine dining and will easily cost 500€+ per person as i was told.
One last, i would actively avoid the steirer eck in vienna, it‘s highly overpriced for simple things such as a veal schnitzel, potato salad and a beer cost me around 90€ in 2018, it just really is not worth ir it‘s just okay even though its nr. 22 ob the best restaurants worldwide, i would much rather get a Käsekrainer at the würstelstand or a Doner at ferhats.
Anyway i hope i helped a little. :)
Because they are Americans
Love your food tour of a country my DNA claims. 😊 Vienna tortes are outstanding...and I'm glad Austria has numerous walking trails/forests...to shed the 9000 calories you will consume in one meal. Enjoy your travels! 😊😊😊😊
note: Figlmüller/Plachutta are typical tourist restaurants - they are very good, but also overpriced. i would recommend asking locals about where to go for a good schnitzel (and avoid the 1st district if you wanna save money lol). for backpackers on a budget that are looking for a great, albeit not typically austrian, meal i highly recommend Der Wiener Deewan - an all you can eat, pay as you want/can Pakistani buffet restaurant near vienna university.
If you go to Vienna and taste Austrian food you don't want to eat Pakistani do you?
Very nice couple.
And the Noddles are called Spetzle
sorry no thats NOCKERL
@@elli9772genau!😂
To the occasional Austrian cuisine hater: Austria had 151 million tourist nightings in 2023 (even more in 2024, the numbers are not out yet).
Don't you think that at least a fraction of these tourists came because of the excellent Austrian food?
Or the other way round: do you think these millions and millions of tourists would keep coming if Austrian food were that disgusting?
BTW, on a per capita basis Austria is the world champion of tourism, outdoing the likes of Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland etc.etc. The numbers are out there, just do the math.
I will not get this delicious food tonight best regards francis
Enjoy the moment! Your food is getting cold. Don't be like the people, who go to a concert just to watch the gig on their phones screen. (ffs there are multible cameras, you can watch crappy videos of it later)
Where did you eat that massive schnitzel, I need to know lol
it looks big but it is thin.
How do you keep in that shape eating all those calories? Respect!
17:21 is the location to go to if you want a good party. Especially sundays.
It's not a carneval "just happening", it's the Wiener Prater, which is an almost all-year thing.
The "shredded pancakes" are called "Fritatten". If they are not shredded, they are called "Palatschinken" and are usually eaten with a spread of either Nutella or jam.
What you have to add is that you basically went to the most expensive places to get these food items. There are very good alternatives that are a lot cheaper.
Coffee in Vienna dates back to the Turkish siege. When the Turks where beaten back, they left behind lots of sacks of coffee beans and with that Viennese people invented all the different coffee variations.
Sorry, you mean "fritatten" , the correct word!
Dar müsst ihr im Ländle , Steiermark und so unterwegs sein dar ist es kulinarische um etliches besser ,und auch nicht so teuer. Liebe Grüße!
Little correction: Kaiser doesnt mean King...its Emperor! King is König! At Hofburg are not the Gouvernment Offices! Only our President has his Residence in it!
17,90€ isn't the original Wiener Schnitzel from calf, it's the Figlmüller Schnitzel from the pig. Today 2023 Pig is 18,90 and Calf is 23,90 so there is NO WAY you get that expensive meat in that size in under 20€. Greatings from Vienna
Is this restaurant very touristy?😢do you have any authentic schnitzel place to recommend from the perspective of who lives in Vienna?
@@Yangon176 Not really much tourist, some yes but more from Austria do eat here. But be sure they can speak english there too. ☺️
Also, the only reason the schnitzels are big is because they pound the cr*p out of the meat. And no one makes gulasch out of veal 🙄
@@simama...xox..kalbstahmgulasch is made from veal
@@simama...xox..
In Hungary, you can find both veal gulyas and veal pörkölt
Kaiser means emperior
Kaiser means Emperor not King
it may look like weener shnitzel but to German speakers its veener schnitzel. Just as Wien is not ween but veen (Vienna). The English 'v' actually doesn't exist in German 'V' in German is pronounced fow; Volkeswagen is pronounced Folkesvaagen. Not pedantry but essential understanding. Its a stretch for Americans to understand but in 1814 Wien (Vienna) was the cultural heart of the western world. Britain and ultimately north America triumphed by the historical accident of colonialism - and the holocaust of indigenous peoples.
Epic!
How to you even eat that sniztle
with fork and knife
⊂(◉‿◉)つ💖🙋🙋Enjoy in Vienna Austria 🙋🙋💖⊂(◉‿◉)つ😇😇Stay safe😇😇
1. This dead slice has nothing to do with a real Wiener Schnitzel.
2. Same goes for the goulash.
3. The Tafelspitz. Oh well. A 6 out of 10.
4. Kaiserschmarn was never a dessert.
And when the original Sachercafe (in the Hotel Sacher) is 10
Minutes away on foot, you should visit it.
its for fancy tourists
May you suggest an affordable restaurant for Schnitzel, not a touristy one. Thanks.
