11 Mouth-Watering Turkish Restaurants in Austria
Second to Austrians, Turks are the largest ethnic group living in Vienna. Kebab and falafel sandwiches are favorite fast food fixes among the Viennese, with late-night Turkish stalls standing all around the city. The two largest markets, the Naschmarkt and Brunnenmarkt, both specialize in Mediterranean cuisine, with tempting trays of buttery borek and golden baklava being offered at every turn. Here is our guide of where to find the best Turkish cuisine in Austria.
