Food Guide for Salzburg, Austria

jana meerman 220grad lunch salzburg vegetarian

I have lived in Salzburg since late 2021 and in that time have spent many a morning at brunch, a midday at lunch or a cafe, an evening at a dinner restaurant, sharing a delicious meal with friends or family. Salzburg is small but as it is a very touristy destination boasts many restaurants; way more than you'd expect from such a little city!

Nearly anything you're craving, you'll probably find it here. I've not even been able to include every place I've tried as they've disappeared from memory, but I've trawled through my photo albums and old Instagram stories to try and bring a massive selection of delicious spots to try. I'll keep updating this list as I continue to sample more yummy spots.

This list was first published 20 July 2024; last updated 5 June 2025.

NOTE: You should pretty much always make a reservation for restaurants in Salzburg. No matter what day of the week or time, you're always safer off making one. More often than not, restaurants are fully booked and don't accept walk-ins. You can book many restaurants in Salzburg on Google Maps; sometimes you might need to call in and most of them do speak English.
