A SIMPLE AUSTRIAN MEAL

One of my best meals, in Vienna,

was at Weibels Wirtshaus.

Down a quiet side street,

between Singerstrasse and Schulerstrasse,

this authentic restaurant (400 years old)

serves only traditional Austrian dishes

to a local clientele, and features

rare and hard-to-find Grüner Veltliner wines.

The vegetarian seasonal special that night featured:

Geröstete Eierschwammerl mit Ei

(roasted chanterelles with egg & parsley potatoes)

Eierschwammerlcremesuppe

(creme of mushroom soup)

Schupfnudeln Funghi e Gnocchi

(potato noodles shaped like sausages)

Halffrozen Holunderblüten

(elderflower sorbet)

No tourists at this classic Viennese restaurant,

just delicious authentic Austrian fare!

Wunderbar.
