Food and Drink
Vienna Sausage
A signature dish in Vienna, these sausages are simple yet renowned for their flavour. Two of the most popular kinds are the frankfurter and käsekrainer, and you’ll find these served at würstelstande, or sausage booths, throughout the city.
Svícková Na Smetane
Considered to be one of the Czech Republic’s best sauce-based dishes, svíčková na smetaně consists of beef which is slowly roasted and served with a vegetable puree. It is usually paired with the famous bread dumplings, knedliky, which are just perfect for soaking up the mouth-watering sauce!
Goulash
If there’s a dish that symbolises Hungarian cuisine, it's goulash. Somewhere between a soup and stew, goulash usually consists of beef, carrot, onions, potato and paprika. Originally cooked over an open fire, you’ll find this on every menu in Hungary!
Pierogi
The most iconic food in Poland, pierogi are thinly rolled-out dough with endless varieties of fillings, including meat, sauerkraut, mushrooms, cheese, potatoes and fruit. You can enjoy them boiled, baked or friend, and they can be served as appetizer, main or dessert.
