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!

You would think a restaurant inside Mozart's birth house would be super touristy and cheesy…read more However, this restaurant featured innovative and delicious cuisine that ended up being up one of our favorite meals in Salzburg! Instead of catering to tourists with clichés of Austrian cuisine, this uses elements of Austrian cuisine and other cuisines (French, Italian) to create novel, memorable dishes. - Chestnut cream and bacon soup. This was the most memorable part of our meal! The flavor is a novel blend of both sweet and savory, and the combination of textures in this soup is fun -- light froth, creaminess, the crunchiness of croutons, the chewiness of bacon. This is a dish I will remember for years. - Fried salmon. It's really more grilled than fried. The salmon is solid and well-complimented by the saffron cream sauce and the beets. The presentation and mix of colors is also beautiful. - Truffle risotto with steak. The risotto has a good consistency, and the steak lends such rich flavor, and was cooked perfectly. Additionally, the atmosphere is hip and modern and overlooks the old town. The salt and pepper combination shaker caught our attention and you can actually buy it at the front! Anyways, I highly recommend this restaurant, especially after exploring Mozart's home!

Located just about a minute or two by foot away from the more touristy places in the pedestrian…read morezone, this American diner is somewhat of a hidden gem in Salzburg. Ask any local for the best burgers in town and you can be sure that Goodmans will be among the names you get. And it doesn't stop there. Unlike your usual hipster places they don't just sell burgers, but actually have a full diner menu on offer. Starters, Soups, Sandwiches, Steaks, Salads - you name it. While the place may be a bit hard to spot from the outside, it just screams American Diner on the inside. The owner has been collecting and decorating his store with authentic diner decorations from all over the US and there is even a real, working Wurlitzer music machine. Speaking of the owner...  his name is Marko Gutman (hence the diners name). I first read about his story in a local newspaper article and it was quite impressive. He basically scraped all of his money together and sold his car and bike to fulfill his lifelong dream of owning an American diner. He's very dedicated, a nice and interesting guy to chat with and you will usually meet him when you visit the place. But, enough with the blah blah, let's get to the good part: The food. Like I mentioned earlier, they very likely serve the best Burgers in all of Salzburg. And I'm not just talking about the Salzburg the city. Their highlight of the (burger) menu - and also what I order most often - is the Goodmans Burger. Black Angus beef with all the works... including bacon, eggs and their great home made barbecue sauce. If you don't fancy that combo you can also "customize" your own beef or chicken burger. All burgers come with nice and crispy home made fries and are served on something that actually deserves to be called a burger bun btw. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to give the rest of the main courses a try yet, but I will soon, hopefully  (the burgers are just too tempting). What you must try however is their signature desert: The Donut Burger. It's a Donut served with Nutella, crispy cornflakes and fruits. Tastes as wonderful as it sounds weird when you first hear about it. Have it, just trust me! Downsides? Well it's the City of Salzburg, so you can expect somewhat higher prices than in rural areas, but if you're used to your usual tourist places, prices are actually on the fair side. Regarding the Black Angus Burger: it's 19.90 Euros including fries. Last time we were there my girlfriend had a Beef Burger with blue cheese, avocado, tomato and onions (+ fries), which was easily as good at about half the price (~11 EUR). So choose wisely! Bottom line... my experiences with Goodmans so far: A+

Some humongous bomb ass burritos and a nice beer selection to boot! I'd return, and you should give em' a go as well if you're ever in the neighborhood.

We sat at outside patio around under the umbrellas in 30 degree heat. The orange umbrellas gave a warm feel while we were eating Price A tad pricey for the quality of food in my opinion, especially for the drinks, even in a touristy area. But i expected that. Conclusion Great place for a relaxing lunch if you want to be around trendy and hip people, very different then the rest of old salzburg. Food is above par, but expect to pay a premium for the food.
