Austrian restaurants in Salzburg

  1. Obauer

    Karl and Rudi Obauer cook up a storm in this Michelin-starred restaurant. Everything here strikes the right chord, from the sleek design to the creative cuisine and locally sourced ingredients (most of the fruit and herbs are grown in the garden). Signature dishes include tender Werfen lamb, trout strudel and catfish with capers.

    Ikarus

    Hangar-7, the spacey complex at Salzburg airport, shelters the exclusive Ikarus restaurant, where each month different celebrity chefs are invited to put their creative stamp on the menu. Be sure to head for some after-dinner drinks in the Hangar-7’s hi-tech May Day Bar.

    Sternbräu

    The tree-shaded courtyard is the big draw at this rustic restaurant. House specials such as venison stew and trout are accompanied by copious amounts of Sternbräu beer. The Sound of Music dinner show takes place here.

  4. Fiakerwirt Mandlinghof

    This rambling farmhouse and beer garden serves hearty fare such as schnitzel and pork roast. Kids love the pet goats, ducks and ponies. In winter, horse-drawn sleighs depart from here (€14 to €17 per person).

    Creaking with age, this cosy Austrian tavern in the Altstadt dishes up dumplings, fried sausages and other light and airy fare at rock-bottom prices.

    Mensa Toscana

    With its old town location, sunny terrace and (surprisingly) good food, the Toscana is no cookie-cutter Mensa (university restaurant).

    Blaue Gans Restaurant

    This smart restaurant is prized for fresh, locally sourced fare like tender Pinzgauer lamb. Dwarfed by the cliffs of Mönchsberg, the palm-shaded terrace is wonderful when the sun’s out.
