The food.
As a pescatarian, I was a little worried about finding things that I could eat in Austria. I had mental images of schnitzel, beef stews and sausages being serves by large angry waitresses.
To my delight, there were a number of excellent traditional options for me throughout the city and almost all of the waitresses / waiters I encountered were absolutely lovely. The best part of these options? Cheese was almost always involved.

| my favorite - garlic soup with homemade croutons! i will dream of this soup. |
 |
| vegetable bake with really good cheese |
One thing I really liked about restaurants in Vienna: almost every menu has friend Camembert with cranberry. Talk about a match made in thunder thigh heaven!
I even had the chance to try traditional goulash at "The Goulash Museum" - the fish was not good, I didn't eat it. But the veggies & sauce = amazing.

| Fish goulash. |

| Lunch at Palmenhaus. An amazing salad ^ Check out all of that feta. |
The cheese plates in Vienna kick NYC's butt in the cheese plate dept.
 |
| crazy. crazy. crazy. |
 |
| I love how lattes come with a little glass of water everywhere in Europe. Why yes, I would love a bit of water with my coffee :) |
More food to come in my next post.
