If you’re thinking of touring cities in central Europe, then you really need to do the central Europe food tour. The world according to food! What is better when visiting somewhere new than tasting new cuisines? It’s one of our favorite things about traveling there! The authentic flavors, the freshness, the time-tested family recipes. Need I say more?
Every trip we savor going on a food walking tour in our chosen destination. What an amazing way to sample some new local cuisines that maybe I haven’t tried before, as well as getting the local feel for the area. Growing up I had always been a very picky eater, and it took age and “trying” new things to break out of that mold a little bit. I am happy to report many new options to my food choices now, many that were from sampling new things on our exquisite romantic vacations to new areas.
LANGOS BUDAPEST
Our next destination in Europe has been chosen… (drum roll please…..) Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. What exciting new food options will I find on this amazing escape? In Budapest maybe the Hungarian street food: Langos?? Lángos is a deep-fried dough served with a variety of toppings. However, the traditional Hungarian Lángos is served with garlic oil, sour cream, and grated cheese on top. Yes, please!!
VIENNESE SCHNITZEL VIENNA
Or in Vienna? How about Viennese Schnitzel – Wienerschnitzel Wiener Schnitzel is a must-try when you are in Austria. It is a thin piece of veal served with a slice of lemon and potato salad. You can either squeeze a lemon on the cutlet or not. It’s not surprising why this Austrian food is famous all over the world – it is absolutely delicious!
SVICKOVA PRAGUE
And how about in Prague? Svíčková with dumplings is a classic Sunday family dinner in the Czech Republic. The dish consists of sirloin beef that has been marinated and braised a day in advance. The meat is then covered in a root vegetable cream sauce and served with bread dumplings, a slice of lemon, cranberry sauce, and a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream. Maybe I will even try it here…
Cafe Louvre is a tourist hot spot, but there’s a lot of history and it’s a fun experience. It’s worth going for the atmosphere and especially for the beef and dumplings. If you don’t have time for a full meal at Cafe Louvre, I’d suggest at least stopping in for a drink or dessert.
