Below are a list of restaurants we’ve personally visited in Austria and can recommend. All reviews were as of the time we visited.
Salzburg
- Augustiner Bräu MĂĽlln (Augustiner BräustĂĽbl) – The Augustiner Brewery is a brewery and tavern (bräustĂĽbl means “brewery pub” in German) that’s been brewing beer since 1621. The beer is served unfiltered and unpasteurized, directly from the wooden kegs. There are several stalls serving a variety of food, but the beer is the real star. This is a must-visit spot in Salzburg. More in this post.
- St. Peter Stiftskulinarium – The oldest restaurant in the world! The restaurant is located within the Benedictine Archabbey of St. Peter, in what was considered the cellar, although it’s not below ground. The first documented mention of the St. Peter “Stiftskeller” appears in a letter to Charlemagne written by Alcuin of York, a scholar and advisor to the emperor. Since then it has hosted the likes of Faust, Mozart, and even Christopher Columbus. Teresa says it’s her favorite restaurant in the world. More in this post.
Vienna
- CafĂ© Central – The most famous cafĂ© in Vienna, but definitely worth a visit. Get there *early*, though. At least 30 minutes before they open, but preferably 45 minutes to an hour. More in this post.
- Molly Darcy’s Irish Pub – Nice pub with good pub food. If you’re looking for something other than Austrian/German food, this might be right up your alley. More in this post.
