Food & Drink

Liechtenstein's cuisine is largely influenced by its neighbouring countries like Austria and Switzerland. Kasknopfle also known as Kasespatzle in Germany is a popular dish of Liechtenstein. This dish is made from small dumplings layered with cheese and topped with onions. It is served with an apple puree. For breakfast, there is Rosti, which is a Swiss dish made from pan-fried potatoes. It is usually served with various meats or breakfast items.

When it comes to cheese and soups, both feature far more often on the tables of Liechtensteiners than on the tables of any other of its neighbouring countries. In cheese, Bergkase is a popular cheese which is enjoyed with other dishes or on its own. In soups, the Hafalaab tops the list, which contains small dumplings made from wheat and cornmeal flavoured with smoked bacon or ham.

Liechtenstein offers a variety of beverages from beers, and coffee, to Schnapps. While beer and coffee are beverages that you have had, the Schnapps is a local drink that you must try. It is a fruit-based drink made from fruits like plums, cherries, or apples and has to be had after dinner.

It is said that "Food is the best way to learn about a country's culture." The same applies to Liechtenstein. Explore the local cuisine and beverages to experience Liechtenstein's culture.
