Restaurants in Passau

  1. A

    Gasthof 3 Linden

    Gleaming modular timber furniture and geometric floors give Gasthof 3 Linden a sleek retro feel. The credo here is 'the Bavarian sausage is the beer's best friend', but meatless dishes include spinach pasta in Gorgonzola cream sauce, and salads (say if you don't want them swimming in vinaigrette). Good kids' menu, too. Try the house cocktail of cold champagne, Innstadt beer and fresh fruit.

  2. Diwan

    Climb aboard the high-speed lift from street level to this trendy, high-perched cafe-lounge with by far the best views in town. From the tangled rattan and plush cappuccino-culture sofas you can see it all - the Dom, the rivers, the fortress - while you tuck into the offerings of the changing seasonal menu.

    Zi'Teresa Pizzeria

    Theresienstrasse and its side streets are lined with cafes and restaurants and popular places to just hang out, such as Zi'Teresa. This lively, always-bustling Italian eatery attracts young and old to munch on generously topped pizzas and superb pastas.

  4. Gasthaus zur Triftsperre

    It's an easy and enjoyable 3km cycle (or stroll) along the Ilz River to this earthy beer garden and restaurant. Regulars are drawn by the homemade cakes and fresh trout. If you don't feel like pedalling back, you could rent one of the rooms.

    Altes Bräuhaus

    Comfort food in this traditional dark timber dining room includes pork schnitzel and Wammerl (smoked pork belly with bacon and sauerkraut), but there are also a handful of vegetarian dishes like mushroom soup with bread dumplings.

    Zum Grünen Baum

    Eccentric design touches such as a 'cutlery chandelier' adorn this quirky restaurant, which serves organic beer and wine and excellent desserts (ask for the unlisted 'variety platter'). The toy-filled back room is a winner with families.

  7. Scharfrichter Haus

    Cafe, cellar restaurant and jazz club rolled into one, this Passau institution draws a sophisticated crowd who enjoy seasonal specials on crisp white linen, before retiring to the intimate cabaret theatre with a glass of Austrian wine.

    Heilig-Geist-Stiftsschänke

    Traditional food is prepared with panache, and served either in the classy walnut-panelled tangle of dining rooms or the leafy beer garden, where hedges create separate dining areas. The candlelit stone cellar is open from 6pm.

    Café Kowalski

    Chat flows as freely as wine or beer at this gregarious cafe, a kicker of a nightspot. The giant burgers, Schnitzels and salads are best sampled on the terrace overlooking the Ilz.
