Austria is famous for its culinary traditions and national cuisine. No matter how much time you spend in Vienna, be it a few hours or several days, I recommend trying the dishes that have become local legends: Wiener schnitzel, Tafelspitz, potato salad, apple strudel, Sachertorte and others. There are so many attractions in Austria that exploring them will take a lot of energy. You will have to spend a lot of money in the Austrian capital, so if you want to save money, buy food in the supermarket and cook at home. I think you will find this useful.
Wuerstelstand:
Wuerstelstand literally means sausage stand. Here you will be offered different types of sausages, and even of such a large size (wrapped in larger bread) that you will undoubtedly fill up.
These are street fast food establishments. You will find many of these in the city center. I recommend three of them: Bitzinger Würstelstand Albertina (Address: Augustinerstrasse 1), Würstelstand Leo (Doeblinger Guertel 2), Wiener Würstl (Seilergasse 1) .
For two people, 10-15 euros will be enough. I highly recommend it - you won't regret it.
Schachtelwirt:
Schachtelwirt 5 minutes walk from St. Stephen's Cathedral. This is a fast food restaurant, but they also offer other dishes. The hall is small, there are few tables, so you may have to sit outside. You can even take food in small boxes. The portions are so large that one portion can be shared between two people. If you do decide to take one portion and add a drink, it will cost you 20-25 euros, and in the first option - half of this amount.
Opening hours: Monday - 12:00-15:00, Tuesday-Friday - 11:30-21:00, Saturday - 12:00-22:00.
Address: Judengasse 52.
Schnitzelwirt:
Another option to save on food is a fast food restaurant Schnitzelwirt.
Here you will be offered a variety of schnitzels and other dishes. There is a pleasant, cozy atmosphere here. This restaurant also has huge portions. I doubt the average person can handle one serving. Depending on your appetite, it will cost you from 15 to 30 euros for two.
Opening hours: every day except Sunday 11:00-21:30.
Address: Neubaugasse 52.
Vienna Sausage:
Vienna is famous for its sausage. This establishment specializes in various types of hot dogs. You will be quite satisfied with one serving and a can of beer, which will cost you an average of 15 euros for two.

I think I have given you quite a few options. Keep in mind that during lunch in Vienna (12:00-14:00) many café restaurants offer a set menu, that is, the offer of the day, (soup and main course) for 6-9 euros.
