The best street food venues of type "Sausage stand" in Austria

This legendary Viennese sausage stand has been grilling up sausages for over a quarter of a century, so it’s no surprise that hungry strollers, night owls, and everyone in between gather here for a Käsekrainer, a Bosna, and all sorts of other classics. People also love to sip champagne while they’re there.

“Everything has an end—except for the sausage, which has two!” And Alfred? The boss is still manning the grill himself, always in a good mood. That’s where the authentic Bosna sausages are made, served with golden-brown, crispy fries. If you like, you can turn up the heat.

The top-quality sausages are almost an afterthought, because the often-long line at the stand by the Old Stock Exchange is mainly due to the specials: truffle fries, beef tartare with brioche, and deliciously crispy calamari fritti! Currywurst and Bosna are also available in vegan versions.

At the Danube Canal, you can now enjoy not only international cuisine but also authentic Viennese fare—with a modern twist, if you’d like: In addition to classic sausages (including game varieties!), the menu features kimchi hot dogs, bratwurst bánh mì, a “Viennese Reuben sandwich,” and beef tartare.

The fact that we prioritize top-quality regional organic products, handmade items, and fresh preparation is clearly evident in the taste: Currywurst, Bosna (also available with a vegan oyster mushroom sausage!), and homemade potato chips with salsa verde (“Dirty Rohscheiben”) are all top-notch.

The fact that the Central Cemetery is also a beloved place for Viennese residents to take walks and enjoy some local recreation comes as a surprise only to those who don’t know it—so it stands to reason that there are also options for a bite to eat there. In this case, the bratwurst, Krainer, and Leberkäse are regional specialties and of the highest quality.

This food truck serves hot dogs that are anything but ordinary. Vegan options are a staple here; one example is “Noa’s Arch,” featuring a beet and sweet potato sausage. Or “Virgin Mary” with potato-and-cheese grillers, truffle aioli, and vegetable chips. Fries range from classic to sweet potato.

It’s not just after events at the Stadthalle that the line can get long, but the wait is well worth it: Recently, Cuban snacks like the “Cuban Dog” in a pretzel roll have joined the lineup alongside truffle fries, smash burgers, cheese sausages, and lamb sausages—all of the highest quality!

This stylish snack bar with an outdoor seating area has found a home in front of the façade designed by Hundertwasser. At “Wiener Wü Dog”—the world’s first certified organic hot dog stand—quality is a top priority, whether it’s homemade sauerkraut or vegan Bosna with chips. Great events.

This veteran of the Viennese sausage scene now has its own product line featuring sausages, sauces, and more—no wonder, given the great emphasis placed on quality and flavor. Boiled sausages are cooked in beef broth, and the chef is also a pro at grilling. Top-notch!

Extra onions or jalapeños on top? The freshly prepared currywurst—made according to our own recipe and served on paper plates with wooden skewers in the spirit of sustainability—also tastes great in the classic white or red (smoked) varieties. Bonus: the 100 percent vegan version.

While they do grill classic Käsekrainer and bratwurst here, you definitely shouldn’t miss out on whatever else the folks at the grill come up with. Whether it’s seasonal wild garlic mayo, vegan sausage options, or the ultimate hangover snack: fried pickles.
