    While on a recent trip to Salzburg, had the pleasure of staying at the Imlauer Pitter hotel. We decided to have lunch at the storied Pitter Keller restaurant. It has been around since 1920s , decor is amazing and takes you back in time .... It seems like a time capsule , beautifully decorated and artistic. Staff are super friendly, welcoming and with big smiles , which was refreshing as the team on the rooftop is totally opposite. Ended up having a few different beers and some vodka shots !!! Shared a chicken schnitzel with fries and a salad, were delicious and tasty.

    Enjoyed a delicious Austrian dinner here! Their menu features a variety of reasonably priced Austrian dishes, beer, and local wines, as well as some non-Austrian options. Menu is in German and English and our waiter spoke English and was very friendly as well. As a starter, I had a bowl of the Kräftige Rindsuppe mit hausgemachten Kaspressknödel (cheese dumpling in beef broth soup), and for dinner I enjoyed the pork Weiner Schnitzel which came with lemon, cranberry sauce, and potatoes. To drink, I had a glass of Zweigelt (local dry red wine). Everything was delicious and the food portions were large. All around it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend!

    Sausage salad.  Cool.

    This is a typical or authentic Austrian/German with traditional look interior. If you are new to German or Austrian food, it won't make you dislike it. So give it a try.

    The Wiener schnitzel was great. Came with lemon, cranberry sauce and potatoes. The full size was very filling. Also has a nice glass of gruner veltliner. Service was fast and friendly. Edit: we liked it so much we came again our second night in Salzburg. Tonight I got the large portion of the goulash. It had 2 dumplings and plenty of meat and a delicious gravy. Both nights a large tour group came in together. The staff is amazing, a large group coming in all at once didn't seem to effect them at all. Watching other tables the time for orders to come out stayed fast and every table was getting attention.

    Really good and friendly service. I got the pork medallions in crème sauce. The Hof is very quiet.

    Great dinning place. Food was delicious and good service. Allow some time, especially if you are planning to try the Salzburg Nockerl

    Located at a basement of a hotel at the center of downtown Salzburg, good place to come with a group for casual dinner. Reservation wasn't required but I called them in advance anyway. We ordered several small food to share with some local wine. Ambiance is more like a beer hall but I wanted to taste local wine. Server spoke very good English. They have seasonally available white asparagus when I visited in May and thoroughly enjoyed them very much. Other typical bar food was pretty good, we enjoyed food and drinks that night. Reasonably priced with good service.

    Food was all very good though a bit pricey. I recommend the tartar as it was delicious. Views of Salzburg are beautiful.

    “This is the dessert meant for two people made famous in Salzburg - a vanilla egg soufflé whipped to look like three peaks then served with a raspberry or cranberry sauce.”

The deserts were freshly prepared and the best Austrian deserts we had in the city. The Radlers we had to drink both times were more on the fruit soda side, which meant they were sweet and crisp and not bitter. And finally, the food was superb. The best rindgulasch and schnitzel we had in the city. Inside it has a cozy bar type of feel and outside is a beautiful street cafe type set up. The waiters also all spoke English if we needed to speak English, and the food came out very quick both times we went.

    The food is great. However, as others have pointed out, the racism displayed by some of the staff…read moreat this restaurant was disgusting. My girlfriend and I were eating when two Indian men walked in and asked for a table. It was around 10 PM and the restaurant closed at 11. They were told the kitchen was closed, which is completely fair. What happened afterward was not. The men politely asked if they could see a menu and make a reservation for the following day. They were not argumentative whatsoever about being unable to eat that night. The waiter refused to give them a menu or make a reservation and said, "You came all the way from India to look at a menu?" The men again responded politely. The waiter then said, "You Indian people are always showing up so late." It was completely uncalled for and extremely uncomfortable to witness. Nothing about the behavior of these two men warranted being spoken to that way. People should be treated based on their actions, not stereotyped or discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity. My girlfriend and I were so uncomfortable with what we witnessed that we decided to leave. On our way out, I spoke with the two men and told them that I had witnessed the interaction and thought the way they were treated was completely inappropriate. Despite the food being great, I will not support a restaurant where I personally witnessed customers being treated this way.

    Bärenwirt is a great traditional Gasthaus for some hearty Austrian food while in Salzburg!…read more We ordered the goulash with potato dumplings, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. The goulash was amazingly flavorful, rich and hearty, and the potato dumplings were the perfect accompaniment. We also tried the deep-fried chicken with potato salad. The chicken was juicy and nicely fried, and while it wasn't anything mind-blowing, it was definitely good. The potato salad was also really nice and paired well with the chicken. We made a reservation even though it was a Sunday night, and I'm glad we did. The place had a great mix of locals and tourists, and seeing quite a few locals dining there was definitely reassuring. The atmosphere has that classic traditional Gasthaus vibe--casual, lively, and focused on good food. If you're looking for traditional Austrian food in a relaxed Gasthaus setting, Bärenwirt is definitely worth a visit.

We were sat at the opposite end of the table from another couple in a little room. The servers were plenty friendly and spoke good English to assist us. My husband got a burger and I ordered the Mac and cheese and a salad and we shared. It was a lot of food! We also ordered the pancake shredded dessert which came with a jelly type of sauce. Everything was good but it was sooo heavy. I certainly recommend sharing so that you have enough room in your stomach. We would return next time we were in Salzburg.

We ordered a couple of appetizers to share. One that stood out was their trio dip and I particularly liked the pork belly crackling dip that was served with sourdough bread. It definitely is not the most healthy as it was greasy, but super flavorful with great texture from the cracklings. Another one I enjoyed was their Regensburger Wurstsalat. The sausages were thinly sliced paired with a crispy, tangy vinaigrette which was refreshing especially in a hot summer day. The scallions and red onions added another level of flavor and texture. For main, I ordered their braised pork belly and was pleasantly surprised. Th meat was tender, skin was still crispy and the sauce was hearty yet not too salty. My kids tried their schnitzel and they enjoyed it. However, my husband ordered one of their beef dish and I was told it was dry and salty. I honestly would recommended to just stick with pork when in Germany/Austria and stay away from beef because ever beef dishes we've tried were not good. Overall, this is your typical Biergarten with plenty of outdoor seating and tv's available to watch any sports. Our servers were all very friendly and relatively quick Austrian standard. The only thing is some tv's streamed ahead of others so the people who's watching the slower tv were a little upset as they would've heard the reaction of others before they can see the actions.

The schnitzel was almost perfect, the chicken was well cooked, and we had a great salad as well. The bottle of local wine was also excellent. Our server was fast and efficient if a little thin on interaction. He was also very busy, so that's likely a part of it. The interior is nice, although we only saw a bit of it. The beer is brewed onsite, I'd love to see that, but alas, no. Five stars is what it deserved as everything was really really good!

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.
