Wiener Schnitzel

Austria’s most iconic dish — a paper-thin slice of veal pounded flat, coated in breadcrumbs, and pan-fried in clarified butter until golden. Traditionally served with a wedge of lemon, warm potato salad, and lingonberry jam. True Wiener Schnitzel must use veal (not pork, which is ‘Schnitzel Wiener Art’). The best versions are found at traditional Viennese Gasthaus restaurants like Figlmüller in the city centre.
