Vienna is one of Europe’s food melting pots. My eatlist of Vienna is probably the most extensive eatlist I have on this blog – because Austria is my home country and Vienna is our capital. Plan enough time to eat in this magnificent food city, and stay away from fast food restaurants! I regularly update this restaurant recommendations list of Vienna.
