Austrians' extraordinary approach to backyard grilling sets the bar high in 2025.

Firing Up Summer: A 2025 Austrian BBQ Revolution

Couldn't resist the sun's morning kiss? Break out the grill! It's grilling season once more, and a recent study confirms — Austrians are purely enamored with firing up the barbecue. But this year's grill game might leave even the most avid BBQ fan astounded.

Stomp your sausages and chops aside — International, creative, and avant-garde recipes dominate the grill landscape in 2025. Classic dishes still make an appearance, but the current Kotányi Grill Study 2025 reveals that spice and experimentation are the new kings of the grill.

Grilling Globalization

Sausages (76%), poultry (74%), and veggies (68%) may lead the pack, but that only scratches the surface of Austria's 2025 BBQ offerings. Adventurous grillers are taking inspiration from around the world, with tacos, satay skewers, bao buns, and veggie alternatives like jackfruit or 'shroom steaks gaining traction. A whopping 32% of respondents can't get enough of these international and plant-based culinary creations.

Seafood enthusiasts also have a reason to cheer, as 9% are grilling up fish, and 8% are firing up shrimp. Welcome to the era of lighter, fresher, and globally-inspired BBQ fare after all!

Young Grillers and Social Media Dogmas

The enthusiasm for the fire pit extends beyond older generations. Over a third of Austrians aged 15-29 are grilling at least once a week, turning it into a lifestyle more than just a meal time affair. Social media provides an array of recipes, tips, and trends, with TikTok-marinated chicken and Instagram-worthy veggie skewers becoming the new norm.

Forget the misconception that grilling is just about meat lovers — Not in 2025! Street food BBQ with an urban vibe is taking off (27%), along with smoking and grilling (24%) and the ever-popular low and slow BBQ (21%). Even desserts are finding their way onto the grill, particularly among the youngest grillers (15.6%).

Sustainability and Austrian Grilling

Choosing a grill has become a matter of taste, preference — and conscience. 52% swear by classic charcoal grilling, 31% opt for gas, and about 17% use electric grills. But the sustainability movement is gaining momentum among younger generations, with more grillers embracing eco-conscious alternatives, energy-efficient devices, and responsible ingredient use.

Join the revolution and see how far you can steer outside the traditional BBQ lane!

Remember: Regular asparagus indulgence might not be the best idea, and homemade pastry pockets with aromatic fillings are your tasty ticket to gastronomic adventures!
