Great place to eat/drink/sightsee in Salzburg. My family and I started at the rooftop bar of the restaurant, grabbed a few great beers and sat overlooking a breathtaking view of Salzburg. Then when we got hungry, we went downstairs to the restaurant to grab some food. We shared the schnitzel and another dish and they were both very delicious. The star of the show was dessert, the kasierschmarrn was one of the best we have ever had (and we've had a lot)!! Overall a very great place to visit if you are in Salzburg, with great views, great service, and great food!!
Just a few steps away from the funicular entrance for Hohensalzburg Fortress. This historic restaurant is huge and wonderfully, authentically Austrian! We had lunch here after a visit to the fortress. I had to start out with a flight, which consisted of three 7-ounce pours. The beers were smooth with mild flavor, typical for most any German beer, which, IMO, are highly drinkable, but lack complexity and depth of flavor. For food, I had the Krustenbrat (roast pork). The pork was not entirely fresh and quite dry, thankful for the gravy. Dumpling was marginal and coleslaw was average. My wife had the pulled pork burger and she really enjoyed it. We did share a warm apple strudel for dessert and it was awesome! Overall, I love the building and its history, beer is typical German beer (refreshing, but forgettable) and food quality was average on this visit. That said, I would not hesitate to visit here again and try another dish.
We had a good lunch here while visiting Salzburg for the day. It's worth the trek to take in the views but the food was also good and the staff was friendly and the restaurant was charming. We each had the large salad and it was excellent-- super fresh and tasty. I didn't think the pancake soup was that great. The broth was good... the pancakes were a little mushy and cut into sort of too small pieces for my liking. The cheese dumpling soup was much-loved by my spouse. The dumpling variety plate with kraut wasn't bad. The kraut was great... we didn't love the dumplings though. However, they were well prepared, just not our favorite thing on the trip. We would certainly consider visiting again if ever back in Salzburg. The waiter was super kind. He even took my spouse - who was taking pictures of everything - into a room not currently being used for lunch service so she could see and photograph the beautiful ceiling and chandelier.
My family and friends will tell you, blindfold me in a new town and I'll find my way to a brewery. In Salzburg, that was Stiegl-Keller. What a great location! On the edge of the old town (Altstadt) and at the base of the castle, good food and a good beer list was definitely found. It's all of their own beers, mind you, but all were solid. Tip: With multiple terraces on the upper floors, having a Stiegl beer and enjoying the views over Salzburg is as good as it gets while traveling.
They make you work for your beer, here! The brewery is at the top of a rather steep hill, kind of on your way up to Hohensalzburg. It's a climb for sure, but definitely worth the effort. Oh yeah - you get to the top of the hill, find the entrance to the brewery...and then have to climb a couple of flights to get to the restaurant itself. We stood at the host stand with a few other parties for several minutes before someone finally came out to help everyone. We weren't there for food, just for beer, so when it was our turn, he directed us to the self-serve bar area near the back. They have a small sitting area separate from the dining rooms, and a large outdoor patio, which I'm sure is breathtaking in the right weather. (When we visited, it was breathtaking in the "it's so cold, my nose hairs are freezing" kind of way). There was only one other group in the bar area when we arrived, so we hopped up to one of the open tables and opened their menu to make some hard decisions. For my first round, I decided to go with a Stiegl-Hausbier Christkindl; my husband went with a Stiegl-Spezial. He went up to the bar to get our drinks while I held our spot at the table. He was gone for a while, and I was confused as to why - I saw one woman step up to the bar ahead of him, and knew she'd come in alone, so I wasn't sure what the hold-up was. Turns out she'd ordered a pint of beer, and had the nerve to give it back to the bartender because there was "too much of a head" on the pour. Apparently the bubbles ruined her Instagram-perfect picture. Or something. Some people's children, I tell you... At any rate, the Christkindl bier was a holiday special with a flavor profile description that immediately drew me in. On tasting, it had an inviting aroma and deep, slightly nutty flavor that perfectly matched the lovely color. My second pour was a Stiegl-Hausbier Butterblume; my husband went with an Original Stieglbock. The Butterblume promised butter tones balanced by spicy kicks, all tied together by a malty finish. I was eager to give it a try. On tasting, I found it had really nice sweet tones, which balanced out the slight hoppy finish. It also had a bit of citrus on the palate, which showed up after swallowing. There were about three or four other beers that I really wanted to try, but we wanted to get back out into the markets before everything started closing up for the night, since we only had one more day in the city. I kind of wish we would have just taken our time at the brewery, as I really enjoyed the beer and the views, and feel like we could have managed all our shopping the next day. Ah, well. Hindsight, and all that. At least I know I can find some Stiegl brews at liquor stores in my own city. Small consolation, but I'll take it.
My husband and I came here after visiting the fortress. It has a beautiful view of the city and accommodates plenty of seating. The waiter was great even when we changed our drink order, great service! The veal goulash with spaetzel was delicious and the best in town, in my opinion. My husband ordered the roast pork with pepper sauce and he said it was okay, the meat was a bit tough. Overall, great place!
I think the Stiegl-Keller in Salzburg is a great place to eat. It all starts with the view. Carved into the mountain that is crowned by Salzburg's imposing castle, the view overlooking the beautiful city of Salzburg from the dining rooms or outdoor terrace in warmer weather is unsurpassed. One almost feels they could leap onto one of the domes or spires dominating this ancient city skyline. And the beer is of course really good as this a Stiegl locale. Stiegl beer has been brewed in Salzburg since 1492 and once was kept cooler in summer months where this restaurant now stands. You have a wide choice of Stiegl beers - all of them good! I chose a weiss (white) beer which was excellent. Fortunately the food can also be quite tasty - at least the local Salzburger Bierfleisch was that I was served here. The gravy was richly flavored from the Stiegl beer and the braised meat tender and juicy. The purrée (mashed potatoes) and root vegetables were a perfect complement. And in the end as in the beginning, there is the view!
It's quite a trek to walk uphill to this restaurant but if you get a seat w a view, it's worth it. Customer service as expected. Pleasant surprise the cheeseburger was excellent ! Beef bourguignon is good. The nockerl as expected read more
Great spot! Have to walk uphill a bit to find it but has great views of the city. The dumplings are phenomenal - so cozy and flavorful! Only complaint is their beer tasting options were a bit confusing when we tried to order. The waiter basically convinced us not to do it but I think it was maybe a language barrier (totally our fault) but the beers were tasty nonetheless! It's a great, authentic Austrian spot! read more

I came to this place because it was close to the fortress and boy was it good. Food - The pancake soup is absolutely amazing, and the beef goulash was delicious. Service - Good The view here is absolutely amazing, especially at dusk. Overall, this place is unparalleled beyond words. read more

4 stars for the view alone. On a sunny day it is heaven. Such a unique spot and great view above the roofs of old town Salzburg. Huge ice cream Sunday options for €7. Haven't eaten their food but I will be back for the location alone! read more
Great schnitzel! It came with a cranberry sauce and slice of lemon which really pushed the flavor through the roof! My friend ordered the goulash and really enjoyed it as well. The view outside is great and shaded which makes eating outside during the day manageable. P.S- The lemonade is not actual lemonade. It is actually a fizzy pomegranate drink which is not that good. read more
