Around the city of Vienna are a few hundred of
Heurigen or wine |
|
|
|
|
00 |
taverns. Many are on the edge of the Vienna Woods at
Grinzing. |
|
1 |
Avoid these unless you do not mind in spending the
evening with |
|
|
|
|
2 |
coachloads of another tourists and sad-looking
musicians with |
|
|
|
|
3 |
accordians. Viennese people would rather to go to
taverns which are |
|
|
|
|
4 |
further away but at which you can rely on getting
refreshing wine |
|
|
|
|
5 |
and one simple but delicious food. My favourite is
Sirbu, set in |
|
|
|
|
6 |
the vineyard-covered hills of Vienna's nineteenth
district. It is |
|
|
|
|
7 |
best to go on a summer evening in slightly fine
weather when you |
|
|
|
|
8 |
can sit outside at her plain wooden tables underneath
trailing |
|
|
|
|
9 |
vines. A busy waitress in traditional costume will
bring young |
|
|
|
|
10 |
white wine served in jugs or by the glass, which
tastes of best |
|
|
|
|
11 |
mixed with sparkling mineral water. A range of simple
dishes can be
|
|
|
|
|
12 |
picked yourself up at the counter inside: slices of
roast pork, |
|
|
|
|
13 |
roast chicken, cold vegetable salads, fresh radishes,
tomatoes, and a |
|
|
|
|
14 |
dark bread which can be eaten with cheese spiced with
a garlic, |
|
|
|
|
15 |
onion and paprika. I would like to finish off my meal
with a piece of |
|
|
|
|
|
apple strudel. |
