Liechtensteiner cuisine is the traditional style of cooking in Liechtenstein. The cuisine is diverse and has been influenced by the culinary traditions of its neighboring countries, particularly Switzerland and Austria.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Liechtensteiner cuisine is known for its simplicity and reliance on fresh, local ingredients. The country's location in the heart of Europe has resulted in a blend of German, Swiss, and Austrian influences in its food. The cuisine includes a variety of meats, dairy products, and fresh vegetables.

Common Dishes[edit | edit source]

One of the most popular dishes in Liechtenstein is Käsknöpfle, a type of pasta made with cheese and onions. Another traditional dish is Ribel, a type of cornmeal porridge. Hafalaab, a soup made from wheat flour and cornmeal, is also a staple in Liechtenstein cuisine.

Beverages[edit | edit source]

Liechtenstein is known for its wines, particularly those produced in the Rhine Valley. The country also produces a number of beers and spirits, including Torkel, a traditional brandy made from pears.

Desserts[edit | edit source]

Desserts in Liechtenstein often feature fruits, nuts, and dairy products. Birnbrot, a pear bread, is a popular dessert, as is Ribelkuchen, a cake made from cornmeal and served with coffee.
