6 of Vienna's Best Sausage Stands
Wieners, Käsekrainer, and Bosna have become archetypes of Austrian cuisine. Dotted around Vienna there are countless ‘Wurstelstand’ kiosks – small, understated stands often located outside the U-Bahn stations, where locals stop by on their way home from work for a comforting snack. The sausages come in all shapes and sizes and are made using a variety of meats, with pork and veal being the most popular. Here’s where to find the best sausage stands.
1. The Bitzinger Sausage Stands
Restaurant, Food Kiosk, Austrian, German, Fast Food, European
A well-established chain with a few stands that are open almost 24 hours a day, making it an excellent pit stop for those wanting a midnight snack after a night out in the city. Cheap and cheerful, this kiosk serves all the regular varieties of sausage, Bratwurst and Currywurst, as well as a handful of specialities. Prepare for the possibility of a long queue, however, as this is one of the most sought-after sausage venues in town.
2. Hildegard Wurst Deli
Deli, American, Vegetarian, Fast Food
Claiming to serve ‘the real hotdog’, this mobile New Yorker-style van travels around the streets of Vienna – hopping between food festivals and various events. The menu’s variations offer a hot dog tour around the world – pick between Amsterdam, Copenhagen or New York.
