Nice little cafe close to where mozart Was born. Kind of Famous as they have branches all over vienna. Easy to find and get a table. This branch is the Salzburg one. They offer lots of traditional vienna cafe fare and desserts. Service is quick, nice, and easy. We ordered the schnitzel and spaghetti bolognese. ( forgot to take picts for some reason - maybe bec we have been eating vienna food lately. But we also ordered the 2 most famous desserts in vienna. 1. The salzburger nockerl and the viennese apple strudel. The salzburger nockerl is not ny any means a dessert burger. Think of it as a soufflé. It has 3 mountain peaks, to pay homage to 3 famous peaks in salzburg. And of course, the famous apple strudel with vanilla sauce. Both are insanely out of this world., specially the strudel. The soufflé was one of the best ive ever tasted. full- bodied. Airy and soft. Silky smooth. And underneath, there some kind of cranberry compote to compliment the meal. The viennese apple strudel is simply heavenly. The best that you will ever taste in your life. Period. Layers and layers of sift pastry overlapping each other and holding together fresh apple slicesZ surround by a creamy vanilla sauce. Its heave on a plate, i tell ya! Why 4 stars? Hmmm..their schnitzel was a bit pricey for just 1 pc. Usually comes in 2 big pieces. The nockerl wqs a bit pricey too. Its for 2, but i think its still pricey. And since portions are smaller for main courses, it doesnt represent money for value. I wont repeat here as there are many other places to explore. Food standards are high in vienna, You pretty much will get the same Fare else where. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

The food was good and so was the service . It was located near our hotel which made it convenient for both breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed both. read more

We loved this spot. With so many chains like Starbucks popping up... this place had the authentic Salzburg cafe feeling I remember from more than 25 years ago. We lingered over some splendid cappuccinos served the traditional way on the small platter with small glass of water, etc. We then feasted on some beautiful shared desserts. Their Apple strudel was out of this world. We had it with the vanilla cream sauce but you couldn't go wrong here with no topping or any of the choices. It was spectacular. We also splurged for the Salzburg Nockerl for two. What a treat! Three huge mounds of freshly baked meringue atop a fine layer of tangy cranberry compote. So delicate - special memory for sure. Our waiter was kindly and checked in on us. We were generally pleased overall with the service as well. Not rushed at all and not forgotten. It certainly felt like traditional Salzburg coffee and cake hour. Ah! read more

We got Salzburger Nockerl. That's big portion desert good for two. It was interesting experience m. We didn't like it too much. That's only because it was new to our taste buds. But good quality. The melange is their coffee with milk which was okay. Overall I recommend to go here at least once for the experience. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant in old town. We had a nice little table by the window. The server was okay but he was a bit brusque which probably kept me from speaking up when I should have. I ordered the goulash. It looked delicious. It was very salty. I should have said something but I didn't. For 19,50 Euros I expect better food the first time it is served. read more

Cafe Mozart - No keel whipped meringue type topping with a fruit jam underneath. - Austrian Near Me - Salzburg, 5

My wife and I stopped in here for dessert and coffee. The staff was very friendly, especially our server who made all of his patrons laugh. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. We were looking for something we had never had before that was a local treat. We saw the Nockerl was here and wanted to try it. As you can see, it looked amazing, and I'm sure it takes some work and some talent to make this dessert. I do not want to take anything away from the delicacy or difficulty of making this. We were both a little disappointed in the dessert overall. To us, it wasn't really satisfying as a dessert, because in our opinion, it was mostly air. This is like eating a mountain of meringue, off of a lemon meringue pie, perhaps. The bottom was a sweet berry sauce, which was nice. As a whole though, for the price, it did not live up to the hype. Again, this is the only thing that we ate here. We also had a latte, which was very good. read more

Cafe Mozart - Me in joyful anticipation before(!) my wife and I ate the Nockerl. - Austrian Near Me - Salzburg, 5

We were really looking forward to having a leisurely lunch at Cafe Mozart. We just finished our tour at the Mozart museum , and walked next door. The interior was lovely, but the service was awful!! The wait staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. We would have/should have walked out with our tourist money and left! However, a friend really wanted us to try the Nockerl at Cafe Mozart, which was delicious. However, the waiters really ruined the entire experience for us. It was evident that they did not like tourist. read more

We ate here on August 29, 2024. The food was delicious, the wait staff was atrocious. Food first: We ordered the Escalope of chicken breast in basil cream sauce with noodles, it was delicious and large enough that two of us shared this. We also had the Wiener Schnitzel and enjoyed this as well. We came though, at the recommendation of a friend, to have the dessert - the Salzburg Nockerl. It was a fun and different dessert to try. The base is like a cranberry jam then topped with large, whipped egg white peaks. We shared this between 3 of us and it was a perfect amount. Very tasty and I recommend trying it. Wait Staff: As we entered the restaurant we were told to sit at any open table. We are a party of three and there was only one large table open to sit, so we took this table. The waiter passed by us multiple times, ignoring us and waited on the table behind us, which came in after we did. Finally, the waiter came and to our table and we ordered some water while we looked over the menu. As the waiter went to get our water, a smaller table opened up so we decided to move to the smaller table so that the larger table we were sitting at could be available if a large party came in. We were looking for our waiter to tell him we were moving tables but before we even sat at the new table, or could find our waiter, another waiter was coming towards us and from about 8 feet away from the table, from across the restaurant, this waiter started yelling at us that we just can't switch tables and that we were very rude to just switch on our own. He continued to yell at us and tell us for about 2 minutes, telling us how rude we are. Our original waiter arrived with the water and he too yelled at us for moving. Our original waiter told us that this isn't his table so now we're sitting in another waiters area (I understand this had we placed a large order already, but we had only ordered water at this time). They said that even in America this would be considered rude. We offered to return to the larger table, but they said no, In hind site, we should have gotten up and walked out, but we were hot and hungry and wanted to eat at this restaurant because we had heard the food was good, so we decided to stay. The waiters all continued being rude, although they calmed down a bit because we killed them with kindness. It's interesting because waiter 1 was upset because we moved from his station, but our table was waited on by 3 different waiters throughout our meal, as were the other tables, so we're not sure why this was a big deal. We didn't switch tables to be rude, we understand how restaurants work, but since it was seat yourself when we walked in, we thought we were being helpful by moving to a smaller table so that the larger table could be utilized by a larger party, and we did were actively looking for our waiter while we were moving. Never have we ever been treated so rudely in a restaurant by the staff. Go for the food, but don't expect a happy, smiling wait staff. read more

Terrible service with a grumpy waiter. Served us several days old Esterházy torte that was difficult to cut with a fork. When we complained, he simply shrugged and took the uneaten pastry away - and charged us for it! STAY AWAY. Do yourself a favor and wait in the long line at Cafe-Konditorei Fürst instead. The same desert there was fantastic. read more

Stopped in for desert. Service was basic. Cappuccino was ok. We had apricot dumplings and apple strudel. The dumplings were basic with canned apricots. The strudel came in warm but made from filo dough, meaning it had no real crust and the filling was average. Ambiance was nothing special to make it look like it was a Mozart Cafe. Mozart music was only playing on the first floor staircase. Very disappointing for a tourist trap. read more

Like most touristy areas, there's always a joint capitalizing on a theme, or on a famous person of the area. Since Mozart is a pretty big deal around these parts, obviously a few establishments will take his namesake. However, there's no historical aspect here, no memorabilia, nothing special to make it a memorable place, just food. So, let's talk about the food, shall we? Overpriced tourist trap! It wasn't bad, mind you, but nothing outstanding either. And it's pretty difficult to screw up breakfast, so just a run of the mill breakfast joint. They do try to make it seem fancy by delivering your coffee and hot cocoa on these little silver trays, which is schnazy at first, but then when they bring food they need to get them out of the way real quick to allocate space on the extremely small tables. The menu is pretty limited and if you're a Westerner you might be a bit disappointed if all you wanna do is get your eggs and coffee fix on. read more

We had the chicken pasta and Nockerl. The food was very good. Absolutely atrocious wait staff. We had 2 male waiters who yelled at us for several minutes while they walked around the restaurant serving other tables. There is another review already posted which explains the situation. These employees should not be working in a location that is bustling with tourists if they are unwilling to at least be pleasant with paying customers. We spent 3 weeks in various parts of Europe, and this was our only less-than-wonderful dining experience. This type of behavior should never be accepted by staff in any facility. read more

Worst service I've ever received at an establishment. The older, bald waiter with the black glasses just kept walking back and forth servicing every other customer except us - because we don't speak German...? After about 30 minutes, he finally took our order. It looked like 2 packaged hotdogs that were boiled. A sad excuse for a meal. Finally, when it came to paying, he took another 30 minutes, walking back and forth between every customer, and ignoring us as he walked by. Finally, I had to call out to him as he was passing to tell him we'd like the check. In the end, he just slapped the receipt on the table and walked off without saying a word. Unfortunate to have this restaurant tainted by this one waiter. Save your money and time and go anywhere else, this place was a waste of an hour. read more

This is located in the heart of the shopping quarter near the house Mozart/Museum. I would describe it as a Austrian Diner. It's been around forever and has Austrian specialities and desserts. My mom ordered the salmon which was cooked perfectly over basmati rice with veggies. I had the veal with cranberry sauce and fries. It is typically packed with a combination of tourists and locals. Lots of people stop in for dessert. It was fun to have a casual style diner in Austria with local specialties. Great place for a midday meal. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here - we were in the mood for gulasch, and Cafe Mozart did not disappoint. Hubs had the Gulaschsuppe mit Gebäck (Gulasch with bread) and it was great. At only €6, it was the cheapest and most filling meal yet. I had the Salzburger Bierfleisch mit Nudein (Salzburg Beer Beef with Butter Noodles, €12.50) and it was also great, though I preferred the spicy flavor of their gulasch. We also had the warm chocolate cake and some drinks, and the overall bill was still very reasonable. Combined with their friendly service and their free WiFi, I would definitely recommend a visit. Tip: There's also a Cafe Mozart Winkle nearby... don't confuse the two. Google Maps led us to the wrong one, but thankfully we'd seen the photo of the entry someone had posted here to know it was the wrong spot. read more

Happened to see this place as we were walking around Salzburg and almost did not step in. Something about the name just sounded a bit tacky and touristy ;-)) it is actually a lovely place and I was really surprised by the service and the food, both great. I had the Kaiserschmarrn and really enjoyed it. Came with a plum compote and tasted just delicious. The melange was also nice as was the macchiato I had later. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. The prices were reasonable and the service very friendly and prompt. I would happily come back here again. It's big and has lots of seating and the ambience is very nice. It's located on the first floor of the building. read more

I wasn't able to eat a full meal here, as we came for the Salzburger Nockerl. All the tour guides, locals, and tourists told us about it. How could we leave without trying it? At 8 AM on the last day in Salzburg, a 14 year old Clara Yi walked with her grandmother down an unfamiliar street with ornate signs and strange lights. We walked into the restaurant, and we were greeted by an English speaking waiter. I knew they loved tourists, but that didn't bother me. The dessert was strange. I did not know what to expect. It was good !! I give it 4 stars not because it blew me away, but because I haven't had anything remotely like it since. You'll never get this experience with any other dessert. Highly recommend !! read more

Very fancy place that traditionally I wouldn't go for, but here we were, on Sunday morning, right after a church mass. Since there is not much open on Sunday morning that early, this was pretty much our only option besides McDonald's. We ordered ala cart, which was a bit of a mistake, since we overpaid a bit. You are definitely better off ordering the breakfast menu, which includes all the items in one price, instead of paying for each individually. I would recommend the large Mozart breakfast or the Mozart exclusive, which is big enough to share for two. I saw a couple order a two of the large Mozart breakfast plates at the table next to us and they couldn't finish them. I ordered ham and eggs, bread roll, coffee and orange juice. My hubby ordered ham and cheese sandwich, which came with salad, hot tea and orange juice. This place is beautiful, the wait staff was very good, despite the amount of people slowly showing up after we arrived. Very relaxing atmosphere. The food is OK, nothing to brag about, but it will hit a spot on cold Sunday morning and you can't argue with the location and the overall atmosphere of the place. read more

Tried it out, looks old and outdated. Service was good, cant complain. Ordered a local treat with out knowing what it was and apparently it's fine whipped egg whites.

Rude to Tourist. We were a group of 4. We waited for 30 min for service and waitress keep ignoring us. Not sure the reason. We though she was just busy although the restaurant wasn't full. We decided to leave when we saw this German speaking couple that sat in the table next to us, after we had been waiting more than 20 min. The waitress went to their table first giving us her back. Like what the heck! Maybe because we weren't speaking German. Idk. We were so starving so we got up and left. Absolutely rude. read more

Just went today. Three stars for the decent food. Couldn't really complain as we were hungry. The waiter, however, rude. He's why this place gets one star. I'm totally over friendly to anyone who's in customer service, so it's not like we came in rude or anything. After taking our order (half-assed at that), he hardly made eye contact with us the whole time we were there. When we wanted to order dessert, I made eye contact with a much friendlier server (which really isn't saying much, but it counts for something) who then told our waiter we wanted him. When it came time for the bill, he asked, "cash or card." When we said, "card," he scoffed at us. And rolled his eyes. Seriously? Even in Paris, we had better attitudes from our servers. read more

We popped in, afraid that it might be a bit touristy. But the food was wonderful, the service great, and the prices very reasonable.

The inside is quite dated and the food was mediocre. All I tried was the goulash and it was fine - the beef wasn't tender (but not dry either) and the sauce was one dimensional and slightly too salty. The service was pretty good though - they are very nice there. Def a tourist spot. At the time I was really hungry so obviously didn't do my standard due diligence for restaurants. Unfortunately Yelp isn't as dependable in Europe as it is in the US but doing my part my reviewing :) read more

Cafe Mozart - Goulash - Austrian Near Me - Salzburg, 5

I feel like it's pretty touristy, but I wanted a place to have a coffee and write postcards, and not that many of these kind of spots were open late when I wanted it. My coffee was good - pretty standard really, and the apple strudel with vanilla sauce was - tasty, but soggy, I think thanks to the sauce. I would probably go without if I had this to do over, just to keep the dough flaky/crispy. Although, maybe it wasn't that way to begin with, which would be bad. Anyway. If you need late night dessert, this will work, but I wouldn't seek it out on purpose. read more

It was a dreary day in Salzburg. I had gotten a little lost on the snow-y paths around the castle, I was soaking wet from the rain, and I found this Cafe to duck into for a late solo lunch. It seems to have a touristy reputation, but don't let that turn you away. I had the beef and noodles with a warm glass of mulled wine. It really hit the spot. The noodles were buttery and perfect. It wasn't busy in the mid-afternoon. Mostly filled with people trying the famous dessert. It was also affordable for somewhere that tout's the city's tourist site as it's name. I would definitely recommend grabbing a meal here, especially if you're traveling alone. It is cozy and welcoming. read more

We had a half day in Salzburg and wanted a relatively light lunch before returning to our ship, so we dropped in, knowing nothing about Cafe Mozart. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful, and when we explained that we just wanted a "light lunch", he suggested the children's portions of the weiner schnitzel (along with the requisite beer). The schnitzel and pommes frites were very good, and the portion size was just what we needed. Kudos to our waiter for speaking such great English and being so helpful! The only problem with this restaurant was that on a 90-degree day, the lack of air conditioning, along with the lack of a breeze in the restaurant, made for a less-than-comfortable dining situation, but the weather was unusually hot while we were there. read more

There are other glitzy (and famous) cafes in old town, but Cafe Mozart is always consistently top quality food and service. Atmosphere is quieter, comfortable and of course the Mozart music is great.

If you're visiting Salzburg, you have to try their signature desert ~ Salzburger Nockerl. What is it, you ask? Pure decadence...we two dessert fiends could not finish all of it despite the fact that it is quite delicious. An Austrian souffle with lingonberry sauce on the bottom topped with a massive mound of meringue. We chose Cafe Mozart to stuff ourselves. It looks attractive and alluring from the outside. Inside it's really just Denny's with some serious history. Let's just say Grandma and Grandpa would be thrilled. Baroque (and more baroque) decor, smoke wafting over from the smoking "section", booths and small tables served up by tired waitresses. I give the Nockerl experience a 4 star...but, I couldn't go higher than a 3 for the cafe. While our time here was overall pleasant, I'd rather enjoy decadence in a quainter (smoke free) cafe. read more
