The waitress made me feel rushed and unwelcome, and "forgot" one euro when giving me my change. Plenty of better places around.

Our hotel is right around the corner from this bakery and I'm glad I made a stop here! It was busy…read morearound 10am but we were able to grab a table up front by the display case. There's actually more seating behind the bar if you go around. The menu is extensive from breakfast foods to decadent desserts! I came here mainly for the nockerl and it takes 30 minutes to prepare. I also ordered an americano and apple strudel. Our waitress, Alexandra, was very nice and attentive. She had to bring another table for the presentation! She also made sure I had time to photography the nockerl. It did not disappoint! It was fluffy and I love the berry cream and the ice cream that came with! It was just the perfect amount of sweetness and definitely worth a try! The apple strudel was bathed in vanilla cream (you can also get it with ice cream). It was flaky and warm. I love the cream it came in! Everything was fabulous! Many people came in to order desserts from the display! Thank you for a lovely breakfast. I enjoyed sitting there relaxing while enjoying the delicious foods!

Visited in July 2024. Nice cozy cafe to grab breakfast not too far from all the historical sites &…read morethe newer part of town. Looks like most of the locals get cappuccinos, hard boiled eggs & some kind of bread with cold cuts & some veggies. I got the semilina porridge (Grieß-Porridge) which is equivalent to what Americans might call 'Cream of Wheat'. It came with fresh jam & was very tasty. I also ordered the Ham, cheese and salami with bread side (Schinken, Käse, Salami) and an iced latte. All were yummy. I wish I had more time to go back there to try some of their desserts.. they looked yummy!

We found this great place just walking by the famous street "getreidegasse" . We googled and it…read moreappeared to be a finger food, Michelin Restaurant. So of course we stayed. It was a course menu which we enjoyed so much! Yellow gazpacho Beef tartar (it looks like a cone ice cream ;) Cheese course Fillet of beef Black cod Goose liver And beautiful desserts!

Carpe Diem is a one starred Michelin restaurant at the end of the pedestrian zone, near the church…read moreand parking lot. From the outside, it looks like a typical bar and patio setup. Tucked away inside and upstairs is their fine dining area. I had the "Salzburg" menu for lunch, since I was stuck in traffic and arrived after the cutoff time for the larger "Carpe Diem" menu. The menu says it is for 2 people, but they will make it for 1 person as well. At the time, I was a little bummed because I wanted more food, but I am glad it turned out that way because I was stuffed. Started out with two amuse bouche items, one with duck, and one with scallops with a mango maracuna (passion fruit/lilikoi) sauce. The scallops paired VERY nicely with the sauce, as I love both mangoes and passion fruit. Next, was the goose liver with kumquat and Brazil nuts. The goose liver was cold/frozen and shaped into small ice cream like scoops and came out with some shave ice type flavors. It made it really easy to eat, but also had to eat it sort of quickly so the shave ice didn't just melt. The candied kumquat skin added a nice tartness to the goose liver. Third, was the black cod, coconut miso, tamarillo, and green asparagus. This was my favorite dish of the set. I had never heard of tamarillo before, but it tasted like papaya. After I looked it up, it is supposed to taste like a mix of passion fruit and tomatoes. Either way, the coconut miso had just enough flavor to complement the fish, but not overpower it. The final dish (before dessert) was veal, cream of spinach, mushrooms and blueberry. I was unsure of what to expect before it arrived, but worked nicely with the tender veal. For dessert, was chocolate, banana, and passion fruit. On the hot day that I dined here, it was perfect to cool off before I headed back out on the road. To top it off, they gave me two chocolate balls to take to go! I am glad that I ended arriving a bit late because I was stuffed. Next time I go to Salzburg, I will make sure to have the "Carpe Diem" menu for dinner and arrive hungry!

My friend brought me and my family here for breakfast and I was warned about the food but it was…read morereally for a relaxing morning with a nice view. We ordered their M32 breakfast for 2 which consists of various ham, salami, smoked salmon, cheese, eggs, fruits and pasties as well as one cold and one hot beverage per person. Although the food itself wasn't anything extraordinary and seemed like it was just put together with store bought ingredients, for €48, it wasn't too bad of a deal considering it also includes 2 drinks. You also can't beat the view as it provides a panoramic view of the city. The service is slow but I learned that's the norm. Overall, the food isn't the best but I've also only tired their breakfast so I cannot comment on lunch or dinner. It is a great option to relax while enjoying the view of the city.

I came to this restaurant to enjoy the view and have an afternoon drink because it was recommended…read morein my guidebook. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the service. When we arrived, there was a sign at the entrance saying, "Please wait to be seated," but no one came to help us for about 10 minutes. It was around 3:00 p.m., and the restaurant was not busy at all. I could see several staff members, but none acknowledged us. Eventually, we were told that if we were only having drinks, we had to sit at the back of the terrace, where the view was much less impressive. Although there were plenty of vacant tables at the front of the terrace, we were directed to a table without a tablecloth at the back. About five minutes later, the staff began removing the tablecloths from the front terrace tables and started seating customers who were only having drinks in those same prime spots. I couldn't help but wonder: if they were going to change the seating arrangement just five minutes later, why couldn't we have been seated there from the beginning to enjoy the view? The service was minimal, unfriendly, and far from welcoming. While the view is undeniably beautiful, the overall experience was disappointing. I would recommend enjoying the same spectacular view from the nearby viewpoint instead of spending your time or money at this restaurant.

Part of…read morethe restaurant hall is built into the historic cave, which gives it a unique atmosphere you won't find in many to none places here in Salzburg. Unfortunately, the customer service was the biggest disappointment of the evening. One waitress seemed to deliberately avoid speaking the language the guests were using, only to later reveal that she actually speaks six languages. Not exactly the kind of interaction you expect from a place of this reputation. Another waiter was running around trying so hard to be helpful and pleasing that he seemed to forget what his actual purpose was... sad. Toddlers policy needs to be enforced as sometimes it makes it uncomfortable when the little ones are shouting and crying. Food was a mixed experience. The prawn paella was nothing particularly memorable, while the deer was surprisingly good - juicy, tender, and easily the highlight of the meal. The wine selection felt a little on the lower side for the price level. The dessert wines, including the port and Riesling ice wine, were left behind as they didn't at all impress. The bathrooms were a pleasant surprise - very cute, modern, and automated. Overall, an interesting location and something worth experiencing once, but considering the prices and the service, it felt a little overpriced for what was delivered. For five of us, definitely a one-time visit rather than a place we'd rush back to.
