Austria is a landlocked central European country. For many centuries, the country was the center of the Habsburg Empire (which was widely known as the “Austrian Empire” and later as the “Austro-Hungarian Empire”). The Habsburg Empire included not only Austria, but also Hungary, what is today Czechoslovakia, Croatia and other parts of the former Yugoslavia, as well as, at times, parts of Germany and Italy. As a result of the history, Austrian cuisine has been influenced by many other countries in the region, and as well as uniquely Austrian dishes, you will also find adaptations of Hungarian, German and other dishes on the Austrian menu.
