Food and drink
Try Wiener schnitzel, Tafelspitz and Fiakergulasch, a goulash served with sausages, a fried egg and a gherkin. Frittatensuppe and sweet specialities such as Sachertorte are also part of Viennese cuisine. In a classic coffee house you can sit as long as you like over a single drink and read the newspapers laid out for guests.
