I liked the ambience and the service. Our steward Mr. Rajeev provided explanations of the food before each course, I found this to be a great supplement to the food. My vegetarian food was superb. I had tortellini as my main course. Toilets were clean too. Also, as expected, no TV to be found in the room. I can’t stand restaurants with TV. The dining room also had a huge painting as decoration, if you into stuff like that. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to enjoy a great dinner with family or friends.

Restaurant Ikarus: A landing pad for top chefs A different top chef each month. It doesn‘t matter which continent or country they come from, whether it‘s the USA, South Africa or Japan. Or whether they serve traditional, fusion or molecular cuisine. What matters most is the variety. And, of course, the high quality of the dishes. Following its opening in 2003, Restaurant Ikarus launched one of the most ambitious projects in the world of international haute cuisine: the guest chef concept. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Martin Klein and patron Eckart Witzigmann, this concept sees the most creative and successful chefs in the world invited to Salzburg each month. Surrounded by the special glass architecture of Hangar-7 and the historic aeroplanes of the Flying Bulls, the concept is a unique experience for the senses.

Family-owned, Michelin-rated - very special restaurant a bit outside the city - but definitely worth the taxi trip. The location looked beautiful - though we only got to see it at night under a blanket of snow. Would love to go back in warmer weather. There were two seasonal tasting menus on offer - each priced at ~100 Euros (not including wine, alcohol). Everything was delicious - we especially loved the soup medley. Service was very accommodating and attentive.
4. Restaurant Esszimmer

The restaurant is called quite simply “esszimmer” (“dining room”). Anything more would be superfluous, says star chef Andreas Kaiblinger. After all, the “real adventure happens in the cooking pot.”

This is all about the food and wines.
Nice place. Helpful staff.
White linen. Tables well apart.
Your mobiles and handbags get a side table too!
Not cheap but you are paying for the dining experience. Expect big white plates with food presented like works of art in a canvas.

In the opinion of many gourmets the brothers Karl and Rudi Obauer are the most successful in the country. Every year their restaurant achieves the highest nominations by national and international gourmet guides.

In Werfen, nestled below the wonderful fortress Hohenwerfen, is Restaurant Obauer. I write this review on the balcony of my hotel room, gazing at the lighted castle and the dark outline of the rock-walled Alps against the dark blue early-night sky. I visited here nearly two decades ago for my first Michelin two-star meal. At that time I could speak no German, couldn't translate the menu, so just told the chef what I didn't want to eat and asked him design our meal and wine-pairings. It was the most marvelous and interesting meal I'd ever had up to that point of my life. Also the most expensive! Now many years later, I decided to return to see if my impressions would have changed after many intervening and more expensive culinary adventures.
I visited Obauer on two consecutive nights. The first night I had the suggested 6 course menu, but requested no organ meats and a selection of sorbets and ices rather than the featured dessert. No problem. After a set of bite-sized gifts from the chef, each tasty, and a variety of house-made breads, I enjoyed the sea bass appetizer and the second salmon, trout and crab dish, although they were a bit underseasoned for my taste. The pig cheek dish was tasty, followed by a granita of cucumber or something similar, with apple foam. The main entree, the deer filet, something I was a bit leery of, was tender and tasty with a sauce that was absolutely delicious. Course five wasn't my favorite, but then I wanted to save room for the finale - a selection of 3 ice creams and 3 sorbets. I opted for blueberry, strawberry and banana-kiwi sorbet (tasty though a rather unappetizing color) and white asparagus ice cream. All in all a delightful meal, accompanied by a succession of 3 wines throughout the experience as well as a champagne-rose syrup aperitif to start the evening.
The next night I originally planned to repeat 3 of the courses along with 3 new ones, but the chef persuaded me to try all new courses (except the sorbets and ices). Thank you, Chef Obauer! My favorite courses were the 3 new ones, each of which was exceptionally well-seasoned. (My only minor dissatisfaction with night one was I prefer a bit bolder seasoning.) I loved the perch appetizer, primarily because of the bed of vegetables and delicious broth it rested on. The trout strudel and mushroom mince accompaniment was absolutely divine, again with a marvelously seasoned broth. The veal also was delicious. I enjoyed the second meal even more than the first.
So often when one revisits the place of a fond memory, the reality doesn't match the recollection. At Obauer the excellent food and the attentive staff were indeed as good as I remembered, despite visiting many excellent and highly-rated restaurants in the interim. If you want a peaceful, delightful place to dine or stay only about 30 minutes from Salzburg, consider Obauer and Werfen.

We decided to visit this restaurant based on reviews published, and it did not disappoint!
The ambience is perfection, the food delicious, wine superb and the service exceptional.
This is not just great Italian food, this is outstanding food in general.
Do yourself a favour and eat here if in Salzburg. Our last meal and most memorable.

A cozy slow food restaurant with regional and hungarian specialties driven by the Family Horvath.
Reviewed By Carolyn_and_John_B - North Carolina
This restaurant was quite close to our B&B on a recent stay in Salzburg. We enjoyed it so much we ate there twice! This was definitely not a tourist place since we seemed to be the only non-locals on both visits. We knew the food might be interesting when we walked up and saw a drum of Gulasch cooking over a fire in front of the place. The owners are an Austrian wife and a Hungarian husband (who is also the chef) so the food is split between the two cuisines. The chef did both hearty food and delicate food nicely. We sampled both Hungarian (Debreceni, Bratwurst) and Austrian (Frankfurter) sausages and salamis for appetizers. The Gulasch was wonderful and the Cordon Bleu Schnitzerl was outstanding. We ordered off the specials menu the second night and enjoyed dishes with veal, pork, and beef. Desserts were a strawberry roulade on the first night, tasty bread pudding with vanilla-poppy seed sauce and one “berg” of Salzburger Nockerl with raspberries on the second. The wine list was short but had interesting local selections that were reasonably priced for the quality. We even got to meet the chef on our way out. This place was a wonderful discovery!
8. Restaurant Rossalm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 274 reviews
The Rossalm lies immediately above the valley station of the Stubnerkogel cable-car in Bad Gastein. It is easily accessible on the descent from the Stubnerkogel, or on foot, only a few minutes from the car park. Enjoy coffee or lunch on the large sun Terrace with a view over Gastein's mountain Panorama. In stormy weather relax beside the open fire with a glass of wine, or make plans for the evening over a drink at the bar. The Rossalm combines traditional wooden building with contemporary architecture. Built in 2010 to plans designed by Kuhn Malvezzi, it stands beside the meadows where the horses from the Wetzlgut resort graze in summer - hence the name Rossalm [Ross = horse, Alm = Alpine pasture].

...don’t go too late or the waiters will start vacuuming while you’re still eating! This happened to us even though we had a reservation for 8 pm. Otherwise the food was good, but perhaps looked much fancier than it tasted. Friendly service and very nice interior.

The restaurant Huwi's Alm within Priesteregg is just beautiful, a truly idyllic alpine setting with incredible views & a cosy but oh so stylish rustic design, it was a pleasure to spend time in such delightful surrounds & it made me want to re-model my home in its image. Food was good rather then great - beef dishes overdone, other meals simply unmemorable. The irresistible setting & ambience would lure us back though.
