Did I mention this is a rooftop restaurant... Yes with amazing views of the castle and a shot of the moon just rising as we sat down for a late dinner. For our main course we went with, WIENER SCHNITZEL VOM KALB, Babykartoffeln /Preiselbeeren /Zitrone In English, VEAL WIENER SCHNITZEL with parsley potatoes, lingonberries & lemon and GEKOCHTER TAFELSPITZ, Röstkartoffeln / Cremespinat / Apfelkren / Schnittlauchsauce.

A hotel without an on-site restaurant can be a mixed blessing. It can be inconvenient, but it can…read morealso lead to pleasant discoveries elsewhere in the area. The latter was our experience during a recent trip to Salzburg where we'd booked a quaint hotel that did not have an on-site eatery. We had taken our adult children and grandchildren to Germany and Austria to visit some of the multitude of Christkindlmarkts, including those in Salzburg. One can only have so many bratwurst, pretzels and cups of Glühwein so, after exploring the markt at the famous Mirabell Gardens on our first evening in town, my wife and I stole off on our own and discovered the Sky Bar. The name "Sky Bar" as represented on numerous advertisements around the midtown area is a bit misleading, as it's much more than just a bar. Situated on the sixth floor of the Imlauer Hotel Pitter, it is also home to a very nice restaurant as well as a lively bar. With food available in both settings, we chose a table in the bar area for our post-markt munch. A glass of local Riesling started things off, and the bar had one with a "trocken" or dry finish. "Halb-trocken" or, more recently, "fine-herb," indicates an off-dry wine while "sü" (seuss) is sweet. While my wife enjoyed a small salad, I opted for their beef tatar. Properly prepared, it came with a caperberry buried in the seasoned, ground meat topped with a fried quail egg and accompanied by a chutney of balsamic and shaved onion. Delicious! In fact, so delicious that the fellow at the next table who had just finished his own tatar saw me enjoying mine and waxed rhapsodic about how delightful it was. He wasn't wrong. The next night, we decided to save our appetite so we could enjoy a complete dinner rather than nibbles. Certainly, we visited some sites and strolled through some of the city's markts but dinner time found us again ascending to the sixth floor and making our way to the bar area. This time, our entrees included venison for my wife and a boar chop for me. We'd both had venison before - including during a previous trip to Austria and Germany - but I had never had boar. Though our server said his English was "not very good," he was able to understand my question about whether the boar would have a gamey taste, and assure me that it had been farm-raised so it would not have a game flavor. A little research showed that boar is often considered a slightly lighter alternative to pork, and indeed it was. A bit less fat but just as much flavor and, properly cooked, tender and juicy. As was the venison, with only a hint of game flavor. Our third and final night in Salzburg brought one more trip to the Sky Bar for a farewell glass of wine and a last look at the city from our sixth floor perch. The facility's location may not seem to fit the definition of a "sky bar" but it's plenty high enough for Salzburg. Guests who step onto the outside patio can see the lights of bridges spanning the Salzach River, Fortress Hohensalzburg which sits watch over the town, and dozens of other sights. One might also marvel at those hearty folks who opt to sit outside and enjoy their drinks and dinner in freezing weather. But hey, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. If you're looking for a change from stereotypical Austrian fare, we highly recommend the Sky Bar at the Imlauer Hotel Pitter.

We ordered the mushrooms in creamy sauce with dumplings, and they were amazing. The mushrooms were rich and savory, coated in a luscious creamy sauce that paired beautifully with the soft, pillowy dumplings. Comfort food at its absolute best! We also had their signature oxtail, and this was the real showstopper. The meat was incredibly tender, rich, and bursting with deep, savory flavor. Every bite was hearty and satisfying, and the sauce was perfect with the sides. We paired everything with a Kaiser Karm dark beer, which was fantastic--smooth, rich, and a great match for the meal. For dessert, we had their Sacher Torte, which was also really good and a lovely way to finish such a flavorful meal. Service was fantastic and impressively quick. They offer online reservations, but if you can't get one, don't hesitate to stop by. There's ample outdoor seating and limited indoor seating, so walk-ins are definitely worth trying. The atmosphere has a great traditional Salzburg vibe, and the location is super convenient right in the heart of the city. Fantastic food, great beer, excellent service--highly recommend stopping here when you're in Salzburg!

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.

Just the right thickness, golden brown and as flavorful as it gets. Served with lingonberries and parsley potatoes. You'd never guess this place would be this good from outside, it has a small sign, is under a hotel add had a large bar area that greets you when you walk in. Doesn't look like anything special, but take my word, just terrific. Every bit as good as 8 years ago. The salad was great as well.
