Winter food in Europe

There's something special about stepping out of the whistling wind and into a buzzing restaurant or Christmas market. You're immediately enveloped in the inviting aromas of wintertime cuisine. That warm feeling never gets old, and that's why we recommend experiencing it again and again in all of its unique regional variations. Here are a few of our top picks for wintertime food in Europe!

Goulash - Hungary

Originally a Hungarian specialty, this hearty stew has been adopted by many nearby countries as a go-to for warming up when the weather gets cold. Certainly not for small apetites, Goulash usually combines beef and vegetables with a generous amount of paprika. Head to Budapest and you'll have a hard time finding a pub or restaurant that doesn't serve this soul-warming treat.

Roast Dinner - England

Head to an English carvery for this traditional meal with turkey, bacon-wrapped sausages, stuffing, peas, roasted potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, parsnips, gravy, and cranberry sauce among (many) other things. Don't make plans for after this one-of-a-kind experience as a nice nap will likely be in order.
