Viennese food is linked to meat: Tafelspitz (boiled beef), Gulasch (goulash; rich stew of beef, potatoes, and other vegetables), or Wiener Schnitzel (deep-fried, breaded veal or pork cutlet) constitute traditional meals. But vegetarians need not fear—there is plenty of tasty non-meat fare as well in this bustling metropolis. The city boasts intricate sweets, including Mohr in Hemd (chocolate and hazelnut soufflé draped in hot chocolate sauce) and the renowned Sacher Torte . Restaurants that call themselves Stüberl (“little sitting room”) or advertise Schmankerl serve traditional Viennese fare.
Innenstadt restaurants are expensive. The neighborhood north of the university, where Universitätsstr. and Währingerstr. meet (U2: Schottentor), is more budget-friendly.

The Naschmarkt itself hosts Vienna’s biggest market of fresh produce. (Open M-F 6am-6:30pm, Sa 6am-2pm.) The Brunnenmarkt (XVI, U6: Josefstädterstr.) has Turkish flair.
