It is the favorite dish of many Austrians: a Wiener schnitzel with a side dish. But who has the best schnitzel in the country? In which city can you find the cheapest schnitzel and where is the most expensive?

The delivery service "Lieferando" has the answers. The five largest cities in Austria - Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Innsbruck - were compared with each other. The evaluation took into account the number of schnitzel stores, the average ratings on "Lieferando" and the average price of the schnitzel restaurants of this delivery service for a veal or pork schnitzel.

Innsbruck can't keep up when it comes to taste
