As we were brought around Vienna by DH's Viennese friend, we managed to try quite a few local delicacies, and they were all delicious. Possibly the most palatable meals I have had in my honeymoon. In Prague and Budapest, most of the places we have been were questionable, with a few good exceptions. But everything we had in Vienna was excellent. So what and where do locals eat in Vienna? Let's start with the first meal of the day, breakfast!

We were introduced to a typical Viennese breakfast in Café Mozart, a traditional Viennese coffee house near the Opera House.

A typical Viennese breakfast usually consists a Semmel (bread roll with a crispy crust), butter, homemade jam, coffee, and a glass of orange juice.

As a chocolate lover, I was enticed by the wide selection of hot chocolate on the menu, and ordered one for myself. I had a Mozart Schokolade (chocolate), which is hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallow, and drizzled with chocolate and pistachio sauce. A sinful but totally worthy indulgence.

There was a particular egg option in the menu which is "im Glas" (soft boiled eggs served in a glass), I was curious as to how it looked like, so I ordered it as well. Turns out it is just like the description. Soft boiled eggs served in a glass.'

At Café Mozart, I also managed to squeeze in some room for dessert, and I had Vienna's most iconic dessert, the Sachertorte, which is a really dense chocolate cake with an apricot jam filling and glazed with a chocolate fondant. It is traditionally served with unsweetened whipped cream at the side. And it tasted positively divine.
