My family and I arrived early into Salzburg on a recent trip. The hotel recommended this place to us just around the corner from where we were staying. We were very happy for the recommendation. The restaurant itself is located just insid the new town pedestrian area. You enter at street level and drop down into a lovely dining area... More

This restaurant was around the corner from our hotel. The staff are so friendly and amazing. It is not a big space, and they do allow you to reserve a table in advance so I would recommend. Great Austrian food options too if you are in the mood. This is a casual, friendly and nice restaurant. The prices are very... More

The line up and wait might be long, but it is worth the wait and a must find! One of the only non smoking restaurants in Salzburg and so delicious. We posted up at the bar in order to get a table sooner and it was all good!

I ate dinner with my mum in May 2013. We had no booking as we were eating early to go to the theatre, and the hosts fitted us in. The restaurant was heavily booked, so I would advise to book if wanting a later dinner. The ambiance was wonderful, with timber everywhere and stone vaulted ceilings. The staff were extremely...

We wanted something local but this place was full if tourists! That's not the establishments fault. The service was excellent - very friendly. The food was very good - their kaiserschmarrn outstanding! Some music would add that special touch.

If you are hankering for Wiener schnitzel or tafelspitz, chow down here. Don't expect great food, but do expect tourists. It's good, reasonable, and kinda gemutlich (and a relief from Zurich mind-blowing food prices.

Such fun! A restaurant with fine food and an irreverent attitude in the Old Town pedestrian area. Convenient to the opera house, Miribelle Gardens and Marionette Theater. Small & crowded with afficionados, it's worth calling ahead for a reservation.

The place itself is attractive, with an indoor no-smoking area. In addition to outside seating there is also an indoor courtyard. Service was friendly and efficient. The menu is typical for the area. One of our meals was very good, the other less so, hence the "average" rating. The beer and house red wine are excellent.

Need to get a reservation or go early, this is a lovely place to eat. I had the Weiner Schitnzel and it was a good portion. I looked around and saw a few plates of mixed sausages with sauerkraut which looked really good. Waiters are vey friendly and there is an English menu available.
