What to try in Trieste?
The cuisine of Trieste, with all its traditional Italian essence, is very different from the menu of a typical Roman or Toskan. And there are so two reasons. First, the Trieste is the seaport, and the choice of fresh fish and seafood can please even a discerning gourmet. Secondly, Trieste is at the crossroads of three crops, which also did not affect him not only on his architecture, but also in the local kitchen. The traditions of Austria (and partly Hungary) are very strong here, as well as Slovenia. Therefore, on a par with typical Italian paste, risotto and lasagna, here you are offered to taste the Viennese Snitzels, Hungarian Goulash, Slovenian sausages, German beer. What else should you try in Trieste?
