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.

Zwettlers Wirtshaus is an absolute must-visit in Salzburg! This was one of those meals where every…read morebite was packed with flavor, and we left genuinely impressed. We ordered the mushrooms in creamy sauce with dumplings, and they were amazing. The mushrooms were rich and savory, coated in a luscious creamy sauce that paired beautifully with the soft, pillowy dumplings. Comfort food at its absolute best! We also had their signature oxtail, and this was the real showstopper. The meat was incredibly tender, rich, and bursting with deep, savory flavor. Every bite was hearty and satisfying, and the sauce was perfect with the sides. We paired everything with a Kaiser Karm dark beer, which was fantastic--smooth, rich, and a great match for the meal. For dessert, we had their Sacher Torte, which was also really good and a lovely way to finish such a flavorful meal. Service was fantastic and impressively quick. They offer online reservations, but if you can't get one, don't hesitate to stop by. There's ample outdoor seating and limited indoor seating, so walk-ins are definitely worth trying. The atmosphere has a great traditional Salzburg vibe, and the location is super convenient right in the heart of the city. Fantastic food, great beer, excellent service--highly recommend stopping here when you're in Salzburg!

Came here for one of the football match and the atmosphere is like no other. We sat outside along…read morewith many football fans while enjoying food and beer. 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!

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.

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 had no…read morerezzie but were seated immediately. the table for two was next to a table of 7 young people all drinking with very little eating. The noise was awful as we were only a couple of feet apart. The other two tables of two next to us also were grimacing. In rooms this small I wonoder why not just make it all communal family style dining as couples have a miserable time. In the other room there was a party of twelve and then a few other smaller tables. Our food arrived in 5 minutes from ordering, so obviously out of pre-cooked batches. Pablo had the asparagus ravioli, a massive portion. I had pork, again a large portion. You will never starve in Austria! Food was A-OK. We ate and ran.

I've ate here during the Mercedes G-Class tour of Austria and I find the restaurant "employees & most locals" are so rude against anybody who are not Austrians or Germans. Especially if you are an American! Oddly they are not friendly to American visitors dining at their local hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Even the waiter asked me if I had money to pay for my dinner which was about $17 euros. Are you kidding me? They're lucky I didn't sued them. I'll just let it go in this review. I'll give a two star rating since I liked their food and it was delicious. The meal I ordered was prepared with perfection. I just don't appreciate the bad attitude and the poor judgments they have when Non-Austrians/Germans are visiting this place.
