The first thing I do when evaluating a restaurant is to look at the plates and faces of the other diners. Plates empty, faces happy is good. Plates with attractive-looking food being eaten attentively by diners is also good. If you’re in Austria, the menu should be in German and the music should be American. In fact, if the menu is in English and the music is in German, get out before the waiter sees you.
If you are really lucky you’ll end up at a restaurant that also provides a yodeling tractor driver, as we almost did.
And of course other food options abound in the Austrian meadows. Some are better for you than others.
