As an austrian, watching your video brought back so many good memories of my childhood... We were one of the few families that downright "celebrated" breakfast on weekends. My father would get up early and buy fresh, warm bread and Semmeln at the bakery nearby. Meanwhile my sister and me prepared the coffee for mom and dad and set the table. Then finally, when papa got back we cut the bread and the rolls, put them into a basket and decorated a huge serving plate with cheese, ham, sausages, salami and all kinds of vegetables. EVERY. SINGLE. WEEKEND. No wonder I struggled with obesity my entire life - the food was just too damn good! 🥹

As an Austrian living next to Vienna, my family and I go out for classic breakfast every Saturday (it's a "tradition", we do it since years) and I try to never miss the opportunity. You are absolutely right. Soft boiled egg together with open sided Buttersemmel & cold cuts (cheese!) is heavenly. I love our breakfast over here. Our family are not the only ones doing this. We meet the same people week for week at 'our' locations. 😂😂 Edit: our shown croissants are called Kipferl. ❤ The best ones are with sogar in top, combine it with butter, apricot jam and hot cocoa or Häferlkaffee. So good.
Great summary! In every aspect. Living in Germany for over forty years and have been visiting Austria quite a few times, I would say, very accurate. I love Austria! (as me being a tourist)
Watching your channel makes my husband and I happy:). You are so upbeat, informative, speak so clearly etc. your videos are high quality too. We love watching you:)
Your mum looks much younger than you 😉 A few of the most famous variations of Austrian ☕Kaffeehauskultur: Melange - Kapuziner - Franziskaner - kleiner / großer Brauner - Einspänner - Verlängerter - Fiaker - Mokka / kleiner/ große Schwarzer - Biedermeier - Eiskaffee ...
Wow, this is a really accurate depiction of Austrian breakfast culture and great tips! One thing worth mentioning - don't be disappointed if you won't find any of the typical Austrian Donut ("Krapfen") when you visit outside of Carnival ("Fasching") Season. Krapfen and Fasching is very much linked to each other, the season always starts on 11th of November at 11:11and ends in February (exact date depends on the year). I guess you may find them outside of the Fasching's season as well in like supermarkets, but definitely not in huge quantities and high quality ones.
You can always have the second breakfast like the Kaiser! It was warm and called Gabelfruhstuck. =fork breakfast! He always had Tafelspitz then. Google.
Right about the breakfast outside big hotels. It's mostly a few bread rolls (Kaiser semmel, is the simple roll with a star). Then you get jam and maybe some slices of cheese and ham. Same in Italy, they just dont eat much for breakfast.
Thank you, Mark. A great taste of Austrian breakfast possibilities. Appreciate your insights, always helpful to have accurate, helpful advice before we travel.
When I’ve gone to the Netherlands, I’ve been surprised at the thickness of the bread in sandwiches. It’s too filling and I wind up eating it open faced just to get the majority of it down but oh gosh, the quality of bread you get (everywhere!) over there is just amazing. It makes me want to put the leftover slice of bread in my pocket for later. 😂 So crusty and delicious!
You missed the best breakfast in Vienna - weisswurst from a cart. They take the fresh roll and impale it on a heated spike - toasting THE INSIDE. A squirt of mustard, and then jam the wurst in ... portable and delicious.
@@christophflattinger2262 There surely was when I was there; I admit I didn't look in the supermarkets (as I said, it was a street vendor). Buut OK whatevs.
@@citylumberjack9169 it's quite a cultural thing between east and middle/west Austria: upper austria, salzburg and tyrol have much more in common with bavaria than the hungary/czech/slovak influenced region of Vienna/Burgenland and lower austria. Things that are common everday (hence super markets/grocery) must not apply for every state. Vendors or Würstelstandl often opt for sausages like: Waldviertler (darker, bigger girth, more spices), Buren (spicey &hot, with corse lard) or any other type of bratwurst bevor they'd use a white saussage... Curios which/where that could have been?
Question for you: in the US, once food is put out for service (and gets to a table?), my understanding is that the leftovers cannot be served again and must be tossed. What is the rule for Austrian/German breakfast buffet cold cuts? Are the leftovers tossed? Or are they served again the next morning?
The breakfast coffee is lousy at many hotels, brewed in urns. Dont expect the crew to deliver any Vienna Coffee specialities. And if you see orangensaft, it's NOT oJ it's watered down frozen orange cocentrate.
My go to cafe from my student days offered "hangover breakfast" (bacon and eggs and a small beer) as well as "grumpy breakfast" which was a single cigarette and a black coffee
My austrian breakfast is cigarette, beer, coffee and a joint as Nachspeise. It is a common and traditional breakfast here, the breakfast Nachspeise is not traditional.
I prefer hard-boiled eggs because it's so practical. You can heat the (uncooked) egg in the microwave as long as you have pre-boiled rice to mix the egg with.

On weekends. And then again, rolls rolls rolls.

I fell in love with the liverwurst in Austria (and Germany). Didn't think I'd like it, but tried it and it was wunderbar!
Mark, I've been watching your channel for a long time. Your mother is like a fine wine. She just keeps getting better with age.

The most beautiful city in Austria
Very similar to breakfast in the Netherlands
Like the Dutch Outsmijters!

Agree with you 100%. Love the breakfasts, especially the breads, rolls, cheeses, and goodies.
I just had breakfast and now I'm hungry again!
You can always have the second breakfast like the Kaiser! It was warm and called Gabelfruhstuck. =fork breakfast! He always had Tafelspitz then. Google.
There is nothing like European bread. Yum! You are making me hungry!😊❤
That is one thing I miss here in USA. I'm from Sweden.

That was scrumptious... And lovely snow ! Thanks !
The snow is so beautiful ❤
We get snow in Indiana too!
Thank you!

You should ask for the breakfast Outsmijters. They are open faced. The thick Sammies are for tourists!
Delicious 😋 😋 😋

There is no white sausage in vienna... Go to any Billa or Spar there and keep searching for it. 😂😂😂

Of course it won't be served again. The hygiene standards are very high.
They go in the groestl!

Looks so delicious...wish i didn't have to be gluten free 😢
I saw a meme that said the Austrian breakfast is a cigarette and a red bull, lol. I definitely prefer the ones in your video though.
