Recently Vienna restaurants have started to experiment more freely and no longer follow traditional recipes word for word. Also, many new restaurants serving various ethnic cuisines have appeared and so without leaving the Austrian capital you can have a taste of Asian and Indian cuisine in particular. When in Vienna, however, you should visit the traditional Viennese Beisl – an institution providing tasty food at affordable prices, beer and most importantly perfect circumstances for a light conversation. This is where you can order the national dish – Wiener Schnitzel, exquisite bread dumplings or roast goose around Christmas time. The best idea is to go with the dish of the day which is usually scribbled on a board in front of the restaurant. And for desert –  what could be more delicious that a piece of the famous Sacher Cake?
