I didn't like the salad so much but my friend really enjoyed it! We liked that the restaurant was central but still a little tucked away.

The pancake starter was fantastic, especially with the sauce it came with. The food came out quickly. We were a little disappointed in the pancake dessert, but it just wasn't our preferred style of dessert.

Er machte eine Lehre im Einzelhandel-Sportbereich. Nach Abschluss der Lehre und einigen Saisonen im Skigebiet entschied er sich wieder für die Gastronomie. Die Befähigungsprüfungen und Sommelierausbildung waren dann nur noch eine Frage der Zeit und Begeisterung. Vom Speckbrot zum Gourmetlokal. Vor 13 Jahren entstand dann eine kleine Hütte mit allerhand Spezialitäten, die sich über die Zeit immer wieder weiter entwickelten!

This is the restaurant on top of Hallstatt. You get to eat some delicious fish, tastes some…read morewonderful local wine, while enjoy the gorgeous view. Service was super efficient and the servers speak good English. Price is not bad, given this is such a touristy spot. Be aware, it's difficult to find seating outside cause everyone wants to sit by the view. And no reservations. So you will just have to wait for tables to become available. Highly recommended!

Avoid this place if you want food. We had know idea going to the village was super close once you…read moreexit the funicular, walk 10 minutes to Hallstatt Village for restaurants. If you want a cup of coffee/tea then it's worth it to sit outside to enjoy the view. Otherwise this place is way over priced and the service was not pleasant. If you want coffee, order at the bar and pay. Stand there and wait for your drinks. If you want to dine in, go seat yourself. There are more tables upstairs. The same person taking coffee orders at the bar was the same person that took our orders so you can imagine the wait once we were seated. He was the same person that brought out our food. In the end, if you pay cash, then you'll have to pay at the bar because they don't carry change. Or you can pay by credit card on the spot. The menu selection was limited. Austria is all about the schnitzel so we got that with a side of potato salad and cup of cafe melange. The food was okay and knowing that you could get more options for much lower price at the village was killing me.

Dinner here was fine, but not the 4.5 star experience Yelp led us to believe. Yelpers so…read morerecommended this place that we tried to go our first night in town, and were advised that it might be a 30 minute wait -- but the staff *also* told the 7 parties ahead of us that it might be a 30 minute wait for them, too. So we went elsewhere. We went back the next night at an off-hour and while the food was fine, I would have been highly disappointed had we waited in line for 30 minutes, let alone 2 or more hours. This restaurant has a prime location and a strong online reputation. And perhaps our experience was impacted by the fact that we went at an off-hour. Still, there are much better options, with equal character, available across the city. Consider branching out -- and check my other Salzburg reviews for other alternatives.

If you're planning on having dinner in Salzburg and it's not at the Christmas market, I highly…read morerecommend eating here. We came in around 5pm for an early dinner before our train back to Munich and was able to grab a table for 4. We got incredibly lucky because the restaurant really filled up and by the time we left, there was a long line down the block. Of course we had to have their Original Wiener Schnitzel, which was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had a Salzburger Nockerl, which is a classic Austrian soufflé dessert that is considered a culinary symbol of Salzburg. You do have to order this about 20 minutes in advance, so we ordered it when we made our entree orders. This was really good and honestly, more than enough for our group of 4. I also highly recommend their house beer, which was one of the best beers I had during our 10 day trip.

And the fish is as fresh as it gets- the Forelle (trout) pulled from the lake and kept in a tank alongside the Saibling, pulled out just before being cooked and served. Absolutely fabulous. My dining partner went for the bed tartare (crazy indescribable little sides served with it), and the fried Steinpilze (porcini, in season) VERY interesting and excellent wine list. It was well worth the hour drive for us. We'll be making that trip a lot!
