The Glass Garden

Housed in a distinctive glass vault with an elegant interior and a magnificent view of the city, Schloss Mönchstein's fine dining restaurant is an impressive space. Simon Wagner, who previously worked at Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau and IGNIV by Andreas Caminada in Bad Ragaz, is in charge of the kitchen here. With great skill, he reinterprets Austrian culinary tradition with a creative twist. Diners have a choice of two set menus (one vegetarian) comprising four or six courses, plus optional wine pairings.

As far as Salzburg's foodies are concerned, the Kaiblinger family's elegant restaurant with its vibrant, colourful decor is as important a landmark as the Mönchsberg. Made using excellent produce, Andreas Kaiblinger's culinary creations are classical in their foundations and full of flavour. He sparingly incorporates Asian and Mediterranean seasonings and gives his dishes a certain individuality. He and his team work meticulously to create punchy cuisine. Your charming maître d', Andrea Kaiblinger, has some fascinating wine recommendations up her sleeve. Delightful rear courtyard terrace!

Ikarus

Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Further to its recent makeover, Ikarus is more stylish than ever. Set inside the architecturally spectacular Hangar-7, which also houses a fascinating exhibition of aeroplanes, helicopters and racing cars, the restaurant combines modern elegance and high-tech flair. The decor is upscale and minimalist with a colour scheme of grey and black. The new glass-enclosed wine climate cabinet immediately draws the eye, dark flooring and leather-upholstered tables add a touch of sophistication, and the striking lights in the ceiling produce a soothing, soft glow. The whole space radiates a sense of calm

Gasthof Goldgasse

Traditional Cuisine

The dishes served here present a new take on old Salzburg recipes from a cookbook published in 1719! Located in the heart of the old town, the restaurant is incredibly cosy, thanks to its rustic light wood finishings and lovely vaulted ceiling. The friendly service adds to the charming atmosphere. The menu of Austrian classics naturally includes Backhendl (breaded fried chicken), Wiener schnitzel and Topfenschmarrn (shredded curd pancake). Tip: Book well in advance! The 700-year-old building also houses a chic little boutique hotel – you might be tempted to stay a little longer!

The schnitzel reigns supreme at this restaurant in the heart of the old town. Even from the outside you can peer into the open kitchen and see the house speciality, Wiener schnitzel, being prepared. The rest of the menu is worth perusing too, with other Austrian classics such as Tafelspitz, Esterházy lentils, or goose (when in season). And be sure to save room for dessert – traditional treats like Salzburger Nockerlor classic apple strudel are too good to miss! Highlights also include a nicely curated wine list and professional service that's both warm and attentive. The setting has its own ap
