[[File:Wiener-Schnitzel02.jpg|alt=A Wiener schnitzel at a restaurant|thumb|A Wiener schnitzel]]Vienna is well known for [[Wiener schnitzel]], a cutlet of [[veal]] ''(Kalbsschnitzel)'' (sometimes also made with pork (''Schweinsschnitzel'') or chicken (''Hühnerschnitzel'')) that is pounded flat, coated in flour, egg and breadcrumbs, and fried in [[clarified butter]]. It is available in almost every restaurant that serves [[Viennese cuisine]] and can be eaten hot or cold. It is usually served in many cozy cafeterias in the old town evoking all the history behind the Empire city. The traditional 'Wiener Schnitzel' though is a cutlet of veal. Other examples of Viennese cuisine include ''[[Tafelspitz]]'' (very lean boiled beef), which is traditionally served with ''Geröstete Erdäpfel'' (boiled potatoes mashed with a fork and subsequently fried) and horseradish sauce, ''Apfelkren'' (a mixture of horseradish, cream and apple) and ''Schnittlauchsauce'' (a chives sauce made with mayonnaise and stale bread).

Vienna has a long tradition of producing cakes and desserts. These include ''[[Apple strudel|Apfelstrudel]]'' (hot apple strudel), ''[[Milk-cream strudel|Milchrahmstrudel]]'' (milk-cream strudel), ''[[Palatschinke]]n'' (sweet pancakes), and ''Knödel'' (dumplings) often filled with fruit such as apricots (''[[Marillenknödel]]''). [[Sachertorte]], a delicately moist chocolate cake with apricot jam created by the [[Hotel Sacher|Sacher Hotel]], is worldfamous.[[File:Sachertorte DSC03027.JPG|thumb|right|Sachertorte]]
In winter, small street stands sell traditional ''[[Chestnut|Maroni]]'' (hot chestnuts) and potato fritters.

Sausages are popular and available from street vendors (''[[Würstelstand]]'') throughout the day and into the night. The sausage known as ''[[Frankfurter Würstchen|Wiener]]'' (German for Viennese) in the U.S. and in Germany, is called a ''Frankfurter'' in Vienna. Other popular sausages are ''Burenwurst'' (a coarse beef and pork sausage, generally boiled), ''[[Käsekrainer]]'' (spicy pork with small chunks of cheese), and ''[[Bratwurst]]'' (a white pork sausage). Most can be ordered "mit Brot" (with bread) or as a "hot dog" (stuffed inside a long roll). Mustard is the traditional condiment and usually offered in two varieties: "süß" (sweet) or "scharf" (spicy).
