Esszimmer

My husband and I went for our anniversary. I can’t say much on the way of parking because we walked. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by wonderful staff who took our coats. Our table was nicely set up with adorable Christmas ornaments. They provide side tables for purses and phones to avoid crowding the table which is a nice touch. I selected the vegetarian menu and it did not disappoint. The menu tasted like a homey holiday meal. The flavors were complex and warm. Each dish just felt like warm love. It started with polenta thyme, onion, truffle. It was like buttery smooth fancy mash potatoes with the flavor of what can only be described as happy warm tears from Christmas angels. It comes in multiple dollops which was extremely filling. (This is a cold dish) Next was lentils curry and eggplant. It was the best curry I’ve ever had. It has little crunchy pieces of toast that added a really wam bam thank you ma’am to the whole dish. (This is a warm dish) Stuffed onion, celery, and sweet pepper was the third dish. It was like a fancy lasagna but the lasagna noodles are actually big pieces of onion. The onion isn’t overwhelming- you might think it is because the onion pieces are so large but you’d be wrong, it’s extremely balanced. The sweet pepper just dances on your tongue. Super yummers. (This is a warm dish) Beet-root gnocchi serves as the 4th dish. This was my least favorite- this does not indicate that it’s bad. Beets just have a very earthy taste, to me, and this was no different. I still enjoyed the dish very much. (This is a warm dish) Chestnut-red wine-lime dessert was ah-mazing. Those little lime dollops were like electoral pops in your mouth. The ice cream was tart but balanced with the cake very well. I enjoyed this dessert very much. (This is a cold dish) I will probably never have a meal this nice again in my entire life. It’s worth the money. The only moderately moody thing I can say is I wish all the meals were the same number of courses. My husband got a 7 course meal/ mine was 5 courses and we didn’t have dishes that came out at the same time and he got two desserts- he shared which is nice but I would have loved to have had the same number of courses.

Phenomenal food! Such great flavour and very inventive. The other reviews were right about how great this restaurant is. My husband and I both loved it. Every item of food was delightful. I had the vegetarian menu and he had the Esszimmer menu with the pigeon. (If you are wondering what to wear the atmosphere and guest attire are somewhat casual.

I was a bit skeptical before our visit, but was positively surprised. The lunch menu offers surprising value at 65€, which includes a generous portion of bread, a great amuse bouche, and a selection of petits fours. Different to most restaurants in Austria you aren’t charged extra for this “Gedeck”. The combinations were creative, presentation on point and flavours excellent. The décor is a bit 2000s, but overall a great place and definitely one of the best in Salzburg.

Lovely interior Excellent service Amazing food After reading about this restaurant in lonely planet we decided to book for our upcoming holiday and we were not disappointed. We chose the lunch menu with paired wines and were spoilt with a delicious welcome of beef tartare, followed by tuna three ways which was melt in your mouth perfection! Then a duck dish, again perfectly cooked and paired with delicious rich wine. Finishing with a Christmas flavoured dessert! Excellent service throughout the meal and a great experience.
