 Quiet cafe in the old town |
Judengasse 17 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 842338 |
If you enter the Judengasse from the Waagplatz the Cafe Pamina is to your immediate right. If the weather is nice, then you can use the tables outside, if it rains you can sit inside and soak up the cosy coffee house atmosphere. If the main room is already occupied just walk through to the room at the back where there are always a few free seats. The menu includes cakes, coffee, drinks and snacks. The fruit-curd-cake called Früchte-Topfen-Schnitte is highly recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Panoramic views of Salzburg's Old Town |
Giselakai 3-5 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 8743460 |
Cafe Stein is located on the rooftop of the Hotel Stein. Here, you can enjoy your favourite Austrian beer whilst looking out over the Salzburg's Old Town. You will find the cathedral, the Nonnberg Convent and the Mülln Church amongst the attractions you can see. The hotel was built in the 1950s and something of this era can still be sensed in the atmosphere of both the hotel and cafe. Drinks, snacks and ice-creams are served at reasonable prices. To get to the cafe, you go through the hotel lobby, then take the lift to the rooftop. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cosy atmosphere and a wide range of cakes and gateaux |
Linzer Gasse 72a Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 883976 |
The cafe and confectionery Strasser at the upper end of the Linzer Gasse is ideal for having a rest after a walk through the Linzergasse and Sebastianfriedhof, the St. Sebastian cemetery. The cosy atmosphere as well as the wide range of cakes, gateaux and tarts are very tempting. In summer when the weather is fine you can also sit outside. Cakes, gateaux and tarts can also be taken away. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Salzburg's most famous café |
Schwarzstrasse 3 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 874278 http://www.cafe-bazar.at |
Cafe Bazar is the second most classic Viennese coffeehouse in Salzburg, following close behind Café Tomaselli. In the summer months, the combination of its location on the bank of Salzach River and its wonderful terrace mean brisk business for this cafe - it can be a bit of a challenge to get a seat. Yet in winter as well as summer, this elegant, spacious coffeehouse, with its high ceilings, is a haunt of students, actors, celebrities, shoppers, Salzburg's elderly and intellectuals. Naturally, a huge range of national and international newspapers are available daily. If the waiter is in some way unfriendly, relax, it's part of the experience. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home-made chocolates and cakes |
Brodgasse 13 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 8437590 http://www.original-mozartkuge... |
Alter Markt is home to some of Salzburg's classiest cafés, one of which is this traditional establishment near the cathedral. Boasting a long and proud history, Café Fürst is spread over two floors, both of which are stylishly and comfortably furnished. The choice of food includes a number of savoury snacks, but Café Fürst is undoubtedly best known for its scrumptious home-made cakes and chocolates. All confectionery is made on the premises and Café Fürst is even credited with creating the legendary Mozart-Kugel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Café with tradition |
Alter Markt 9 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 8444880 http://www.tomaselli.at |
Cafe Tomaselli is a classic Viennese coffeehouse with an affiliated patisserie producing fine pastries and petit fours. It was in business as early as 1705, serving coffee, teas and homemade chocolate to its clientele who these days spend afternoons ambling through the many titles of the international press supplied by the coffeehouse. With wooden tables and a somewhat antiquated interior design, Cafe Tomaselli adopts an air of former times and maintains stylish surroundings in which to forget everyday stress. In the summer months, tables and chairs are set up outside lending a good view of the Old Market. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Weißbier Brewery's restaurant |
Rupertgasse 10 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 8722460 |
Together with the Müllner Bräustübl and the Stiegl Keller, this is the most popular beer garden in town, especially for those with a penchant for Weißbier (white beer). In the summer months plenty of people drop by for an after-work drink and a bite to eat (goulash with noodles is especially popular). Rain is no object; the indoor bar offers a familiar, collegiate atmosphere. Groups should book in advance, and can even visit the historic "Small Brewery" by prior appointment.

The dancing monkey brings good food |
Priesterhausgasse 8 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 877361 |
Austrian meals, prepared following old, traditional recipes, are extremely hard to find in Salzburg these days. Often restaurants advertising with these kinds of slogans turn out to be real tourist traps. But in the "Zum Fidelen Affen", which translated means "At the jolly monkey", this is not the case. Over the years the restaurant in a side street of the Linzer Gasse has become highly acclaimed among Salzburg inhabitants. And where the locals eat is where you get the local food, logically. Everything that is Austrian you can find on the menu, from good old roast pork to the well known Vienna Schnitzel, best enjoyed with a cool pint of beer. And all this is served quickly and is of very good quality. Austrians would say "mahlzeit" or "guten Appetit", we would say "Tuck in!" Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Salzburg's most famous shopping street |
Getreidegasse Salzburg 5020 Austria |
Salzburg´s Getreidegasse is the most famous street of the city, and therefore is the most crowded. If you are really interested in getting a view of the charming old houses it is recommended to visit it quite early, which means before 10a.m. Pretty portals and wonderful courtyards can only be seen and appreciated then. The Getreidegasse is famous for the wrought signs from the 16th to the 19th Centuries. The design of the signs dates back to the Middle Ages. It is worth taking a second look at the houses because they are adorned with dates, symbols or the names of their owners, so they often tell their own history. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The smell of Arcadia |
Getreidegasse 3 Schatz-Durchhaus Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 842792 |
A small passage from the Universitätsplatz 16 leads to the Getreidegasse. Here, you can find a cake shop on the left-hand side called Konditorei Schatz. Anyone that enters this lightly decorated cake shop will immediately catch a whiff of goodies being baked in the kitchen. The display counter is filled with cakes, tarts, gateaux and confectionery so that your choice will be difficult. If you are looking for the bathroom, go outside and up the stairs on the left hand of the entrance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Traditional but stunning cuisine |
Müllner Hauptstraße 31 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 4322740 http://www.krimpelstaetter.at/ |
This ancient restaurant next to Müllner Bräustübl is a well-kept secret among visitors, but not with the locals. Known for its hospitality and tasty local specialties, this is one of the best places in town for traditional Salzburg cuisine. The schnitzel and weekly specials are particularly recommended. Many of these dishes are unique and it is well worth venturing here to sample them. The main restaurant is situated on the ground floor, while the function rooms occupy the first floor.

 Look into the eyes of Salzburg's composing genius |
Mozartplatz Salzburg 5020 Austria |
Surrounded by the Residenzplatz, the Waagplatz and the Kaigasse the most famous son of Salzburg, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, watches over his own square in the centre of the city. The Mozart statue that gave the square its name was erected in 1842. During the excavations for the monument, the workers found old Roman mosaics. Engraved on these was an ancient Roman text: "Hic habitas felicitas, nihil intret mali. - Here lives fortune, no evil shall ever pass this place." The building that Mozart turns his back on is the home that the cathedral architect Santino Solari built for himself. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The monk's beer |
Augustinergasse 4 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 4312460 |
Some say that monks always make the best beer. Whether or not this is true can be found out in the Bräustübl of the Augustinian Brewery that is still in the hands of the monastery. Many Salzburgers love this place and that makes it a hot tip for beer-crazy tourists. In summer the guests can sip at their ice cold beer, still served in old stone mugs (!) of ½ litre or 1 litre, in a huge, shady garden. And the beer is fairly cheap compared to others, which is very seldom in Salzburg! But it's not all about drinking, there are also a number of snack stalls that offer various Austrian specialities to stop the tummy from grumbling. If you should visit the brewery on a sunny day, take a look inside as the halls are impressive. Down to earth, huge and full of funny and interesting sentences on the walls! Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Japanese restaurant in the old town |
Griesgasse 19 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 849488 |
The Nagano on the wonderfully renovated Artis Hof is right in the middle of Salzburg. The decor is understated but elegant and on a warm day diners can sit in the square. The menu is written in Japanese, English and German and there is a large variety of Japanese food including Temaki, Sushi, Sashimi, Norimaki, Tempora, Udon and Bento. The restaurant is often visited by Japanese tourists and this speaks for both the quality and authenticity of the food. You can also get a take-away. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Some of the best kebabs in town |
Linzer Gasse 53 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 884236 |
One of the best and cheapest Turkish establishments in town, Osmans is located in the middle of Linzergasse, one of Salzburg's busiest shopping street. The choice includes numerous kebab variations and a fine selection of salads and desserts. But also dishes like pizza are served. As it is open all day, Osman's is a great place to come if you find yourself ravaged by hunger pangs in the middle of the afternoon. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic Italian restaurant |
Gstättengasse 1 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 844666 http://www.panevin.at |
Situated next to the Mönchsberg lift, this place is a top tip for lovers of fine Italian cuisine. The owner buys most products in Italy itself (like San Daniele ham, fresh pesto, seafood and exquisite Italian wines) meaning that the food tastes just like it would in Rome, Florence or Naples. In the summer Pan e Vin runs an open-air bar opposite the Bürgerspitalskirche. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cosy beer garden in a shopping - centre |
Alpenstraße 48 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 626444 |
This surprisingly good restaurant and beer garden is situated in the Herrnau shopping-centre. You can order regional dishes from Salzburg and Upper Austria. The prices are reasonable and you never have to wait too long. The beer garden is only open when the weather is nice and if you sit here, you will need to go and order inside. A personal favourite here is the Sunday Jazz breakfast. If you are thinking of going to this, then get to Raschhofer's early. Latecomers often can't find a table. As it doesn't take place every Sunday, you should call and ask for detailed information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A country inn in the city centre |
Lieferinger Hauptstraße 23 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 4336410 http://www.kohlpeter.at/ |
Despite being located in the centre of town, this rustic restaurant has all the atmosphere of a country inn. When the weather is good guests can sit outside in the garden and enjoy the good old country-style food. There is more than enough space for groups, both inside and out. The lunchtime menu always includes a good value set meal. Parking spaces are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Some of the best roast chicken in town |
St. Julien Straße 9 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 8747900 |
This restaurant is located at the Kaiserjägerplatz near the great bridge that spans the Salzach. Neither the area nor the restaurant's exterior are very appealing, but don't let this stop you from coming to eat here! The inside is a bit run down but some of the best fried chicken in town, offered at a reasonable price, makes up for this. You can get takeaways too, and food can be ordered until 2a, which is very rare for Salzburg. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Views over the rooftops |
Festungsgasse 10 Salzburg 5020 Austria +43 662 842681 |
Situated half-way up Festungsberg, this place offers magnificent views over the old town of Salzburg. Stiegl is popular with locals young and old: the younger generation tend to meet in the upper beer garden for a drink, a snack and a chat, while hungry customers head to the lower garden, a lovely, leafy place for a romantic dinner for two. The lower part also contains a fine restaurant which offers exquisite Austrian cuisine and a 'Sound of Music Show'. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Central Europe's oldest restaurant |
St Peter-Bezirk 1/4 Salzburg 5010 Austria +43 662 841268 http://www.haslauer.at/ |
This restaurant professes to be the oldest restaurant in Central Europe. Established in 803, it may well be justified in its claims. The restaurant is situated in St Peter's Monastery and serves a mix of typical Austrian dishes and creative specialities like monastery stew and St. Peter's fish. A unique atmosphere and historic surroundings make for a memorable experience, yet the most remarkable of the five rooms has to be the "Richardstube," set in a vaulted cellar.
