Vienna, Austria (July 2014)

I was recently in Vienna, Austria and had lunch at the Griechenbeisl, one of the most amazing (and oldest) restaurants in Vienna.  The restaurant is located in a historical inn (originating in the 1300s) with various little rooms, and the garden holds many tales of diners past.  It was really something special to be able to dine there.  No one rushes you out the door and you are can truly enjoy the Griechenbeisl experience, which offers an honest taste of Vienna.  It was some of the tastiest fare I’ve ever had.  Imagine having a meal or a drink where the likes of Mark Twain, Beethoven, Brahms came before you, is enough to make one want to have every meal there.  The prices were reasonable, and I long for more of this Viennese cuisine.  Viennese cuisine has influences from surrounding countries, but also has its own regional varieties.  A trip to Vienna would not be complete without a visit to the Griechenbeisl, located at Fleischmarkt 11, Vienna A-1010, Austria   (Innere Stadt). http://www.griechenbeisl.at/page.asp/lang%3Den/24.htm?_lang=en
