Gasthof Weiserhof - Elsbethen

Although it is away from the retstless tourist places and close to the main station it is always busy and you should place a reservation. Staff is extraordinary friendly and you will have the chance to get rare but wonderful original Austrian food at a very high level of qulity for a fair price.

This was on the other side of the train station from our hotel and we'll away from the center of the city. It was filled with locals, but the staff was pleasant and patient. They provided English menus. My wife had the gnocchi and thought it excellent. I had a more traditional sausage dish with lentils that was exquisite. We finished with a cappuccino and the hazelnut souffle. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Highly recommended.

On our first night in Salzburg, my friend and I were jonesing for some traditional Austrian food. We were staying at the H+ Hotel, and were after somewhere easily walkable. This restaurant is in a quiet neighbourhood literally a five minute stumble from the hotel. The staff were friendly and attentive, and - on hearing our shocking attempts at German - provided us with English menus. We were impressed to see the wide range of fresh, Austrian dishes on display. If meat is your thing, there's an in house butcher who provides many different types of traditional sausage and offal. My friend opted for the Wiener schnitzel, which she pronounced delicious. I had the potato and cheese dumplings, which came swimming in butter, chives and fried onions. They were tasty and very reasonably priced. Though we'd said we couldn't eat another mouthful, somehow we found room to share the excellent hazelnut souffle pudding! Don't come if you can't tolerate dairy, or are vegan. Otherwise, this is worth seeking out!
