European Bistro

Father's Day

2011-06-12T09:17:00.000-07:00

You know, for almost every major holiday we at the European-Bistro like to do a little something special. This year for Father's Day we are offering a five-course special menu available only on that day, to show our appreciation to all the good dads out there.

We will not be offering the regular menu on this day, only the prix-fixe menu so that the kitchen can handle the amount of orders we expect to be coming in. There will be a kids menu and vegetarian option available, as well as some very rare dishes seen in central Texas. For any dad it will truly be an occasion to remember.

You can find our menu on our website at www.european-bistro.com

But act fast if you want to make a reservation, we will take it all down the day after!

Happy Father's Day

European Bistro in Pflugerville Texas Brings New Life to Old World

2009-06-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

Anni learned to cook ethnic foods in their mother’s Hungarian restaurant in Pozsony,
now a part of Slovakia, and she is now demonstrating her skill to the residents of Austin.

The Hungarian combination dinner is Anni’s specialty. She first tempts your appetite with a (Chicken) Hen soup with a dumpling and vegetables. Following this comes a cucumber salad with either a tart-sweet dressing or sour cream. This attractive platter gives you an Old World sampling of traditional Central European foods superbly cooked.

Chicken paprika with nokedli (tiny dumplings made by shaving the batter from a board into boiling water) or gulyas (goulash) or stuffed cabbage rolls with home made sausage, bacon – and freshly made sauerkraut, all in colorful sauces-make this dinner a favorite with those who enjoy spicy and flavorful meals. Specially smoked meats are procured from Europe and from Cleveland, Ohio, where the Hungarian population is the largest in the USA.

In Piroska’s Pastry section of the restaurant you will find trays of French, Hungarian, Czech, and Viennese pastries. For those who prefer strudel, there is Piroska’s crisp apple strudel which she bakes while you dine. They buy special flour that is used for the tempting apple strudel. With either the strudel or the dobos tarta Anni recommends Tokaji Aszu, a delightful sweet wine. She says that one bottle costs as much as one week’s wage in Hungary.

Anni personally selected each of the wines that she serves in her restaurant while she was in Hungary last winter. If you would appreciate her suggestions as to which wines most complement the dinners, please feel free to ask her.
