Cheap Treats
It's not all about fine dining: some of your most memorable food experiences are likely
to be on the hoof. Vienna's
Würstelstände
(sausage stands) are the stuff of snack legend,
but there's more to street food here. Felafel, bagels, organic burgers, healthy wraps,
salads and sushi t o go - you'll find it all in the mix in Austria's worldly cities.
On almost every high street there is a
Bäckerei
(bakery), where you can grab a freshly
made roll, and a
Konditorei
for a pastry or oven-fresh
Krapfen
(doughnut). Many
Met-
zgereien
(butchers) have stand-up counters where you can sink your teeth into a wurst,
schnitzel or
Leberkässemmel
(meatloaf roll), often with change from €5.
