Food costs in Austria
For Austrians, lunch is the most important meal of the day; for this reason, most restaurants offer cheap menus around noon. The cheapest are usually Chinese restaurants, but if you want to try out traditional Austrian food, go for a Gasthaus or Gasthof, which serve traditional food at reasonable prices.
The average price of meals at some inexpensive local pubs or restaurants is about 7 – 10 EUR. A soup goulash is around 7 EUR and the dessert would cost around 4 EUR.
In touristic areas, however, you should expect prices of about 12 to 18 EUR for the main meal and another 6 EUR for a drink. A three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant will cost somewhere between 20 to 30 EUR per person.
Supermarkets have pretty affordable prices, meaning you will spend around 200 – 250 EUR/month on your groceries. The cheapest supermarkets are Hofer (Austria’s Aldi), Zielpunkt, Spar and Billa.
