Encyclopedic overview
Austrian cuisine consists of many different local or regional cuisines. In addition to Viennese cuisine, which is predominantly based on the cooking traditions of the Habsburg Empire, there are independent regional traditions in all the states of Austria.
The Austrian cuisine shares similarities with its neighboring countries in Central Europe, but particularly with the cuisines of Hungary (with which it was aligned as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), Bavaria, Bohemia and Northern Italy. Internationally, it is particularly well-known for its pastries, such as Kaiserschmarrn and apple strudel, and for meat-based dishes such as the Wiener schnitzel. Wiener schnitzel, a traditional Austrian dish made with boneless meat thinned with a mallet (escalope-style preparation), and fried with a coating of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs
