Vienna - The Flavours

The unmistakable Wiener Schnitzel served with a wedge of lemon and a potato salad on the side.  The portion size was overwhelming.  The restaurant was Ofenloch, a historic eaterie with a well-kept Wirthaus interior, staffed with waitresses in traditional dirndl.

Loup de mer, served at the Albertina restaurant.  No schnitzel or tafelspitz on the menu here, and the portion size was more sympathetic to the waistline.

Sweets, sweets and more sweets.  Few cities in the world can rival Vienna's devotion to all things sweet.  The finest gateaux, pastries, cakes, chocolates and sweets can be found in all manners of shops and cafes.  Surprisingly, there were very few overweight locals.
