Generally I'd say the experience was very average at best. The service here was gruff and slow. The pastries I tried were all on the dry side and didn't really do justice to Austria's reputation as a pastry mecca. The cappuccino I tried was also average at best. At least the bathrooms here were clean and functional. If you're looking for tasty desserts, you're better off checking some place else. There are way too many other good locations here in Salzburg to consider versus this place.

Indoors is small and is not good for groups of people but is good for singles/couples who need a drink or dessert. My husband had an expresso that he enjoyed. I had a cappichino with pistachio and whipped cream along with the Mozart chocolates (can be seen in tourist shops.) The chocolate along with my drink was delightful.

Esszimmer is convenient, and there's off street parking (paid) a one minute walk away. I ordered the Starter of consumme with ravioli of red beet, beech nuts and kumquats. So refined, petite and delicious. Maximillian (Chef and Owner) knows precisely how to mix delicate flavors into a symphony! For my Entrée, I ordered roasted quail, presented with asparagus, morels, pumpkin cream and potatoes. All seasoned to delight my taste buds. Preceding it all was a special bite I can't truly describe other than delicious, along with a variety of fine sliced breads. An extensive wine list is offered, along with spirits. I didn't have room for dessert, however I'm certain it's of the same high quality. Our server turned out to be the wife, Roxana, who is a co-owner. This young couple is clearly doing their best to delight their customers. If we lived nearby, we'd be regulars beyond a doubt. The experience deserves a full 5!

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.

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.
