Restaurants serve an enticing variety of dishes for every taste and pocketbook. Menus include everything from traditional Tirolean meals to international dishes and lean cuisine.
Typical Tirolean specialties include: "Speckknödel" (dumplings with cured ham, served in beef stock or with coleslaw), "Gröstel" (sliced pan fried onions and potatoes with meat,
cured ham and eggs), "Tiroler Leber" (veal or beef liver with onions, cured ham, lemon juice and wine).
Favorite wines include South Tirolean red wines, Lower Austrian white wines and of course beer. Austria produces several types of excellent schnapps made from apples, pears, rowanberry, gentian or juniper.
