website: Hotel Zur Wiener Staatsoper
This is a small hotel, in a tall, narrow 19th-century building on a pedestrian street off Kärntnerstrasse. It boasts a flamboyant baroque facade and foyer, which is perhaps a misleading image given its much plainer, albeit modern rooms, all with en suite bathrooms (shower). The hotel boasts a very pleasant atmosphere and its rather exclusive positioning within Vienna gives it the advantage of convenience when embarking on tours of the city center.

A Typical Taste

Wiener Schnitzel - a thin veal escalope, breaded and fried. Usually served with potato salad.

Fritattensuppe - a hearty clear meat broth, with thinly cut strips of pancake.

Kaesekrainer - a red Bratwurst with dabs of cheese inside, eaten with bread and mustard.

Gulasch - of Hungarian heritage but nonetheless a local favourite available in many variations.

Tafelspitz - tender beef, boiled and sliced, served with delicious sauce and garnishes.

Wiener Backhendl - wonderfully tasty tried chicken that goes down well with a local cold beer.

Germknodel - a fruit-filled yeast dumpling, topped with poppy seeds and served with vanilla sauce.

Apfelstrudel - an apple pastry delight best served hot with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.

Kaiserschmarm - "Emperors Trifle", fluffy pancake pieces, dusted with sugar, eaten with compote.
