Rye bread with Liptauer spread, filled small rolls and vegetable tartlets bring familiar Austrian flavours to a reception. The selection can accompany a welcome drink, exhibition opening or meeting; quantities and portion sizes depend on the duration and other food being served.

Breaded chicken with potato-cucumber salad or mushrooms with sliced bread dumpling offer a starting point for warm catering inspired by Austrian cooking. Small plated portions can suit a reception; larger servings can form part of a buffet.

Lentils, root vegetables, mushrooms and pumpkin seed oil give these plant-based menu ideas an Austrian character. Salad, purée and roasted vegetables provide different textures; the season and service format shape the final selection.

Mini apple strudel, quark cream with apricot and small chocolate cakes draw on Austrian baking in manageable portions. For a coffee reception or the end of a meal, the selection is balanced around sweetness, quantities and what has already been served.
