[@andreashofer4442]

Hey guys! Are you still in AUT? I get the feeling that everyone who does reviews about vienna, misses the real Danube and only goes to the ugly Donau River (the canal) and thinks that's the big river^^ There is actually a 24km long island in the big river, the Donau-Insel. From there you can go by bike through the Wachau(beautiful wine region) visit "Heurige", go in fish & wine restaurants and hike in the mountain roads to all the castles along the danube. That's what austrians would do ;) Or take a hike onto the Ötscher mountain, over the Erlauftal and go with the mariazellerbahn.👌

[@Bagamum]

14:24 When I was a little kid, I thought that Kaiserschmarren was made out of “the Kaiser” and I didn’t want to eat it 😂

[@bodac]

We really enjoyed your Austrian food tour. We especially loved that you guys put the price of the food you guys ate at each location. Can't wait till the next video.

[@bikesandbeans]

Amazing video! Great visual and audio quality, awesome content.. and you guys don't feel like you have to be in perfection mode all the time, very casual and lovely!

[@brookereynolds6304]

If you loved the potato salad, travel to the region Styria (Graz, second largest city and very underrated. Great city) and try the Kürbiskernöl. It’s pumpkin seed oil which sounds “odd” but truly amazing. They eat it with potato salad, a corn salad or just salad. It’s my favorite from that region.

[@AnnaNudist]

Vienna is amazing, i often travel there and have fun.

[@StephandPete]

Bookmarking this for our visit to Vienna this fall! Thanks so much. This was so comprehensive and informative!

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Beautiful video on Austria. Austrian food looks very tempting and I learned a lot from Chad’s fun facts of the Austrian grandeur during the days of the Austrian empire.

[@georgemckinnon7134]

Wonderful music choice and great culture to experience and show us. Thank you!

[@raymondstockman1688]

Really enjoy your videos. Your editing and music is top notch very professional I always get excited when I see use have a new video.❤

[@lukim1388]

Wow that is a wonderful video!

[@CeritaFandaVancouver]

Hello Chad and Claire, this has been an exciting experience following both of your journey. At one point back in the day, I only stopped for a few hours in Austria without having a chance to go around, so I enjoy this episode very much & gonna catch up with the rest of your videos. By the way I also love that TV show you were talking about. Cheer!

[@jenniferh1847]

Thank you so much for your dining recommendations. I went to Pfudl and had the exact same dish as you. It was FANTASTIC! A wonderful experience.

[@isadoraadlersidi9052]

Exciting for that ❤ love your content ❤ more food vídeos please

[@BigNightFan]

I just discovered you two... VERY well done, moves nicely, and you both are SO likeable. Can't wait to see your other vids.

[@elihobdari6663]

Great video! Next time I visit Vienna, I am going to try those restaurants

[@gayleswellness2225]

Will be there in September!

[@SteveInNEPA1]

Yum! You went to all the places and ate the exact same meals we had when we were in Austria a few years ago. 😊 BTW, the rides around the ferris wheel are permanent, called the Prater... one of the weirdest places we've ever visited. Enjoy Austria, and thanks for a great video.

[@beauxdejour808]

I was always told my family has ancestors from south Austria. Loved watching this video showing some of the cuisine! Someday I hope to travel there. It would be neat to walk in my ancestors shoes somewhat :)

Austria was one of my favorite countries that I’ve been to! So excited you guys are there! 🎉

[@Silvi1307]

the noodles served with gulasch are called Spätzle, thats also a very typical dish in switzerland, Austria and Germany the butter is put into cold water to prevent melting of it

[@MizzBee13]

They aren’t called Spätzle in Vienna. They are called Nockerl!

[@waveringleaf]

love it!

[@petschmann]

" Frittatensuppe " we call this soup! Best soup in the world!

[@michaelgrabner8977]

Tafelspitz is actually just the name of the cut ..the cut "Tafelspitz" is from the end of the round top = basically the rump cap located directly before the tail from a young ox and is the most expensive cut of meat from beef. The exactly same dish (exactly the same preparing + exactly the same sidedishes) is also made with an other cut from the oxen´s shoulder as well but then the dish isn´t named "Tafelspitz" obviously and has a more favourable prize. The coffee with the whipped cream is named "Einspänner" (= literally translated kinda "One harness") which is actually the term describing "a one horse carriage"..while "a two horse carriage" is called "Zweispänner" basically literally meaning "Two harness" The horse carriage drivers in the past used to get that type of coffee in their own personal glass (= a classical wine glas with a handle = that´s why it is nowadays "traditionally served" in that sort of glass) in order to take away for drinking it at their carriages´coach box (no time for them to sit in the coffee houses) and the big chunk of whipped cream had just the purpose to keep the coffee beneath the cream hot by sealing the coffee from the ambient air....when that particular coffee also got additionally a shot of cherry rum then that coffee is named "Fiaker" instead, which is the Viennese term for "a carriage driver" and also used as a general colloquial term for horse carriages no matter if harnessed one horse (=Einspänner) or two horses (=Zweispänner)

[@katewilliams4876]

Thank you . I was about to tell them Pretty much the same thing. I lived in Vienna for 6 1/2 years. When my father was stationed at the American Embassy. I loved it. In my heart I will also be a Wienerin!

[@reneehaug1467]

Excellent info. Danke

[@NomadicRuss]

Epic!

[@JackieLarose]

Oh that looks so good I’m so hungry.

[@CabinFever52]

Was great fun to come back from my walk with my dog to find this as a suggested video, since we walk, as today, past many of these sites. It's almost like KZbin was spying on us. Actually, in the last couple of years, we have just talked about future purchases around our computers and ads for those items mysteriously start popping up on our internet. So glad you enjoyed the city as much as I do. FYI, the German "W" is pronounced like a "V" (and the "V" is pronounced like an "F") and the "U" in your Almdudler is like the "U" in dude. Was very strange to hear Wiener pronounced like and American hotdog, but I'll get over it. Mostly, I was glad to see you enjoyed everything so much. There are so many more things to see and do, but maybe you hit them next time. Maybe next time, you decide to stay, as I did.

[@ellysiaSG]

Another great video. I haven't been to Austria but been to other parts of Europe. Love the part on the boy somersault at the grass and the peaceful rest part, thats what travel is about'. Wonder when are both of you coming to Singapore (my native country).

[@yipmabaruya1148]

[@klnsbl]

I LOVED the music selection! Hearing the intro to "Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald" by Strauß Jr. at 1:40 just made my Viennese heart melt! 14:19: "schmarren" or "schmarrn" means something like "nonsense" or "rubbish". The origin of the name is said to be as follows: A pastry chef called Leopold at the court kitchen liked to create light desserts for Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"), who was very conscious of her figure. But when served to her at dinner, his new creation of omelet dough and plum jam did not impress the empress at all. The emperor came to the rescue and ate his wife’s portion, saying “Well, then let me have this nonsense that our Leopold has whipped up again”. According to one version of the legend, the dish was first made for the wedding of Franz Joseph and Elisabeth in 1854 and then named “Kaiserinschmarrn” after the empress. But since it suited the emperor’s taste better, it was renamed accordingly.

[@geraldine645]

I actually started using Get Your Guide because of your Iceland videos! (Or maybe it was a different place, but I think it's from the Iceland series...)

[@Basshunter1911]

that "carnival" you mentioned, where the Ferris Wheel is located, is called "Würstelprater" and is located in the Wiener Prater, you can walk there the whole year and the rides are open from March till October. There is also a very famous restaurant called "Schweizerhaus", the next time you have to try the pork knuckle and some Erdäpfelpuffer (potatoe pancakes?!) there!!!

[@CabinFever52]

I was actually surprised that they didn't go to that one while there.

[@theheinzification]

Actually it's called Wurstelprater, nicht Würstelprater.

[@Love_rainy_days]

Guys 🧑👸🌹thanks for sharing all the food and coffees and beer looks great. Vienna🌉 is top on my bucket list. Love your channel, you are cute couple. Have fun and stay safe. Cheers ☕☕🧔

[@TipsyTofuTravels]

Ahhh you guys have made me wanna go back to Vienna! The food and history was just amazing!

[@rd_rae]

As a local it’s nice to see how you enjoyed your time! Yes, those were the more expensive and even touristy places (e.g. Central), but that’s ok and why not spoil yourselves. It’s fun to see when Americans do cheers with food too, which is not common in Europe at all to my knowledge 🙂

[@andreasanlo]

Can you please recommend a couple of non touristy places? Thank you

[@acgjaurigue]

Whats the name of those non-touristy restaurants there? Thank yooou

[@tiinah-b2326]

I have not been to Austria or Central Europe, but recognise all the classics that the Europeans brought to Australia (including my mother’s dishes) that I grew up eating, which led to me cooking them myself for my children. Of course, the delicious Asian and middle eastern influences are also now common place here too.

[@ChadandClaire]

Very true! We saw lots of immigrants opening resturaunt in Austria as well!

[@petschmann]

There is so much more interesting and delicious to eat in Austria!

[@stefanmaier1853]

One thing about the Schnitzel. It looks good, but really well made Schnitzel doesn't have the Breadcrumb covering fully glued to the meat. The art is to have it gold brown with little bubbles of air forming under the breadcrumbs. That gives a Schnitzel a bit of a wavey form, instead of the flat board form yours had. Just a bit of nitpicking there.

[@tarabunc4357]

I’m from Croatia I grew up on the beef broth haha and the noodles(shredded pancakes). I hate it because my mom cooks it at least once a week. It’s heavy but comforting

[@AequitasAUT]

17:21 is the location to go to if you want a good party. Especially sundays.

[@justlookin3]

WOW! Thanks for making my mouth water and my senses explode. What a treat this video is!

[@melbookstudio]

17,90€ isn't the original Wiener Schnitzel from calf, it's the Figlmüller Schnitzel from the pig. Today 2023 Pig is 18,90 and Calf is 23,90 so there is NO WAY you get that expensive meat in that size in under 20€. Greatings from Vienna

[@martinpenev6750]

Good lord! The amount of food you head for dinner! I would have exploded :D

[@internationalfranchisealli5547]

Very nice couple.

[@bolucetin]

Thanks for the video. Are the schnitzels fried in the same oil as the pork?

[@susagasser2648]

me, as an Austrian but not based in vienna, are wondering why you are eating on the most expensive places? those are not normaly prices!!

[@jordidewaard2937]

Most of them aren't that bad. Plachutta will set you back about 60 euros per person (excluding dessert)

[@bellemelo2119]

@susagasser2648 which places would you recommend that serves traditional Austrian food but are affordable?

[@rishisingdan9085]

The fooding facility of vienna is really healthy n i want to have dinnner in city vienna with my pair at night.

[@carolmartin4413]

Love your food tour of a country my DNA claims. 😊 Vienna tortes are outstanding...and I'm glad Austria has numerous walking trails/forests...to shed the 9000 calories you will consume in one meal. Enjoy your travels! 😊😊😊😊

[@jokanm]

I don't see the names of the restaurants anywhere. Does anyone know them?

[@greekwarrior5373]

Damn expensive!😮

[@ownageDan]

note: Figlmüller/Plachutta are typical tourist restaurants - they are very good, but also overpriced. i would recommend asking locals about where to go for a good schnitzel (and avoid the 1st district if you wanna save money lol). for backpackers on a budget that are looking for a great, albeit not typically austrian, meal i highly recommend Der Wiener Deewan - an all you can eat, pay as you want/can Pakistani buffet restaurant near vienna university.

[@TheBazino]

It's not a carneval "just happening", it's the Wiener Prater, which is an almost all-year thing. The "shredded pancakes" are called "Fritatten". If they are not shredded, they are called "Palatschinken" and are usually eaten with a spread of either Nutella or jam. What you have to add is that you basically went to the most expensive places to get these food items. There are very good alternatives that are a lot cheaper. Coffee in Vienna dates back to the Turkish siege. When the Turks where beaten back, they left behind lots of sacks of coffee beans and with that Viennese people invented all the different coffee variations.

[@AndreaFoelz-zt6tu]

How about Germknoedel?

[@smileyhd]

And the Noddles are called Spetzle

1. This dead slice has nothing to do with a real Wiener Schnitzel. 2. Same goes for the goulash. 3. The Tafelspitz. Oh well. A 6 out of 10. 4. Kaiserschmarn was never a dessert. And when the original Sachercafe (in the Hotel Sacher) is 10 Minutes away on foot, you should visit it.

[@helenrichards7430]

Kaiserschmarren means Emperor's scraps

[@nehuge]

What do you guys do to afford this at your age?

[@coachab100]

That was some expensive dining!

[@carolinawren3594]

it may look like weener shnitzel but to German speakers its veener schnitzel. Just as Wien is not ween but veen (Vienna). The English 'v' actually doesn't exist in German 'V' in German is pronounced fow; Volkeswagen is pronounced Folkesvaagen. Not pedantry but essential understanding. Its a stretch for Americans to understand but in 1814 Wien (Vienna) was the cultural heart of the western world. Britain and ultimately north America triumphed by the historical accident of colonialism - and the holocaust of indigenous peoples.

[@Mirror9911]

To call this top schnitzel " like very flat chicken nuget" is a barbarism 😂. Chicken nuggets are made as mixture of any chicken meat, bones, etc. it was really bad example 😊

[@claudiaberger9639]

The Habsburg monarchy was never a melting pot of cultures. The proof of this is the fact that after the Habsburgs lost the war in 1918, all the nation states of the monarchy proclaimed their independence. Today's Austria is the German part of the former "multi-ethnic state"

[@reneeanderson-xc9eg]

Diese Nudel nenn man Spätzle ❤❤❤🇦🇹🥰

[@naryma7874]

1:16 Let me clearify: Its so famous among tourists. The product is decent but its definitly mass-produced in the meanwhile and overhyped. Not my first choice anymore. 3:30 This version is a local Vienniese variant and has only very little to do with actual hungarian Gylasch - which on the other hand you can find decent renditions of in the city. 7:35 Or just ask a local when to go there and avoid the line all together xD 10:30 Austria is not a beer country. We are not Germany. The beer is decent, sure, but nothing above average. The wine is really recommenable on the other hand specially the white ones. 18:08 The coffee tradition goes back to the late 17th century. There are coffee houses, like Frauenhuber 4ex where Mozart and Beethoven played their compositions. Cafe Central WAS the coffee house for progressive, socialist minds (which is why Trotzky and Lenin visited it during their exile), but other then that just one coffee house of many. It became an overrun tourist hub in the last few years and as such utterly impossible to visit as a normal local anymore. Dont recommend it, far to much fuzz. 18:44 the basic coffee is called Mokka, not Espresso - different technique, different consistency of coffe and such completly different flavour. Melange is supposed to be topped with milk cream - if the used milk foam they sued the wrong technique (that would be more similar to a Cappuccino - even though the time of day ofc wouldnt allow that anymore). 20:22 With Einspänner you are actually supposed to drink the coffee THROUGH the whipped cream, which is why you usually get it in a tall narrow glass.

[@b3arwithm3]

I am glad you didn't mention those sausage stands. They are completely overrated. It's a cheap and quick lunch and that is all it is. Don't fly miles to Vienna and waste your stomach space on basic sausages.

[@Basshunter1911]

but... but... Käsekrainer?! u have to try them! :p

[@JohnGaltAustria]

You went to the most expensive places.

[@reneeanderson-xc9eg]

Kaiser means Emperor not King

[@ranxer0n954]

If you ever vist Vienna please don´t eat at the Plachuta Restaurants- they are not only famous for overpriced mediocre food but also for treating the employees really bad. Because a waiter sweetened strawberries he had bought himself with about 50 g Plachutta icing sugar during the permitted break, he was fired by the boss himself. Laughter at work can also have serious consequences: A Plachutta employee laughed too much for the boss and was complimented with the words "Get out, auf Wiederschauen". When the person concerned resisted, it was claimed that the employee had gone himself. The employee the won this case in court.

You guys seem nice ❤Please google the farming practices around veal production - depriving a young calf of his mother, exercise and daylight so his muscle tissue has a low blood count and is pale to make veal for this dish is very sad and travellers need to know this ❤ so they can avoid sponsoring it if they choose - killing young cows without them having any kind of life or seeing adulthood is something to consider

[@nornje]

SORRY. But these people have no idea of Vienna. First they are eating pork schnitzel thinking they are veal (@Figlmüller and drink Coca Cola's Almdudler), then they frequent a chain restaurant by promoting the worst outlet (@Plachutta Wollzeile) and finally they go to Café Central which is a tourist trap with much too long queues (luckily the omitted even worse Demel - but only waiting wise - both offer excellent products). For sure they are not to blame, but it is a vital lesson to try to avoid ignorance when visiting a famous place.
