Bärenwirt is a great traditional Gasthaus for some hearty Austrian food while in Salzburg!…read more
We ordered the goulash with potato dumplings, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. The goulash was amazingly flavorful, rich and hearty, and the potato dumplings were the perfect accompaniment.
We also tried the deep-fried chicken with potato salad. The chicken was juicy and nicely fried, and while it wasn't anything mind-blowing, it was definitely good. The potato salad was also really nice and paired well with the chicken.
We made a reservation even though it was a Sunday night, and I'm glad we did. The place had a great mix of locals and tourists, and seeing quite a few locals dining there was definitely reassuring.
The atmosphere has that classic traditional Gasthaus vibe--casual, lively, and focused on good food.
If you're looking for traditional Austrian food in a relaxed Gasthaus setting, Bärenwirt is definitely worth a visit.
