What if Vienna’s culinary classics competed in their own World Cup? ⚽🏆 As the world follows the FIFA World Cup, the Vienna Tourist Board is bringing the excitement to the city’s food scene with the Vienna Culinary World Cup – an interactive social media tournament celebrating the diversity of Viennese cuisine as part of the theme year "Vienna Bites. Cuisine. Culture. Character." 🍽️✨ Thirty-two iconic Viennese dishes – from Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz and Fiakergulasch to Kaiserschmarren, Sachertorte and Eis-Marillenknödel – are going head-to-head in a knockout tournament. But there’s one decisive factor: the community decides who advances. Through Instagram Story polls, food lovers from around the world can vote round by round until Vienna’s "Dish of the Year" is crowned on 20 July. 🥇 More than a playful competition, the format showcases Vienna’s culinary identity, highlights local restaurants and producers, and invites a global audience to discover the city through its flavours. 🍰☕ Which Viennese classic would get your vote? 🔗 Follow the tournament on Instagram: @vienna 🔗 Learn more about the #ViennaBites theme year: viennabites.vienna.info FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States #FoodCulture #VienneseCuisine #ViennaNow
