I absolutely loved my time in Vienna last year and I was surprised how much I loved the food. In the fall Austria goes crazy for pumpkin, but more as a savory dish. I had a gorgeous pumpkin-pear terrine with a mustard pumpkinseed oil dressing that was just glorious.
Oh that pumpkin dish sounds amazing, I am ready to start making some pumpkin recipes myself!
Yea, Austria has becoming surprisingly vegan friendly in the last few years. I first started working here in 2010, and there were not many good options, but now supermarkets in cities (even outside of Vienna) often have whole vegan sections, and more and more restaurants are offering vegan options too.
Wow! That's awesome to hear it's been such a quick transition in Vienna, I think many cities are finally jumping on board, which makes it so much easier for us veggie travelers!
Looking at all that delicious vegetarian food is making me so hungry! It's really difficult to find good veggie-friendly food in Latin America, a lot of bad pasta pesto and mediocre salads. Clearly we need to go to Vienna!
Really? I thought there would be some delicious options in South America, since so many traditional dishes are accidentally plant based. But, I know they love to put a little meat in everything as well. And yes, Europe in general has had some great options!
Yup, vegans are safe, and welcomed in Vienna. I even saw some graffiti in several of the metro stations that said "eat no meat," veggie graffiti, who knew?
I'm hungry just by looking at all your pictures. The watermelon salad looks amazing. Vienna seems like a veggie food lovers destination. Thanks for linking up to #WeekendWanderlust.
Surprisingly it was a great destination for veggie-food lovers. Thanks for hosting the lineup, see you this weekend!
Exactly how I feel! and thank you!
I just had dinner but all the food photos just made me hungry again. I haven't been to Vienna yet but this wasn't the type of food I was expecting one can get. They all look delicious and some so creative and unique. I love that carrots stuffed with walnuts and pomegranate and the Eiskaffee just looks so refreshing.
I was pleasantly surprised at the food in Vienna, but from what I hear, veg cuisine is becoming quite popular in German speaking cities, it is so nice to have fresh light food while traveling! It really makes traveling easier when you are eating light nutritious meals!
Carrot stuffed with walnuts and pomegranate! wow! thats something different and looks yumm! definitely want to try ice creams made from rice milk! good info on the vegan food in Vienna!
Please do check our travel blog and experience on vegetarian food during our travel!
Yea the ice cream was lovely! I will stop by your blog, I am always looking for great veg travel tips, thanks for sharing!
Hey! Thanks for this guide! I am working on a huge collab post about vegetarian food across Europe and was finding out about Austria. Would you be interested in joining the collab and contributing a few sentences and picture about Vienna or Austria in general?
Thank you for our info on veggie food in Vienna. It was a great relief. I will be travelling to Austria in July and was wondering about finding vegetarian food.
Wonderful! Have a great time, and eat lots of delicious things. There are actually even more great vegan restaurants I visited at a later time such as Yamm, and Dancing Siva Cafe.
