Petr Pfoss Baeckerei: Mouthwatering selection.....

Sternbrau (Garten Restaurant)....: The genuine experience.... Beer Halls & Gardens Review

The Garten Restaurant holds a special place in my heart. On my first visit to Salzburg in 2007, my son Billy had his very first stein of beer here and it was our first experience of a real beer garden. I could not resist the urge to return. Sternbrau is a complex really, comprising a number of different eateries. There is of course, as mentioned, the Garten Restaurant and there is an Italian Restaurant as well as an indoor room or two which I have never quite worked out what their use is.

Favorite Dish: Here I enjoyed Shweinshaxel with bread dumplings and sauerkraut which was sublime. Way too much however and I could only do justice to half of it. I can still smell the pork crackle and taste the salt on it. Yummeeeee.....

Comparison: less expensive than average

Directions: The complex extends from the area near St Blasius Church right through to the river, with entrances at both sides.

Price: US$21-30

St Peter Stiftskeller: Unforgettable Dining..... Beer Halls & Gardens Review

So elegant, so warm, such a friendly and efficient staff, such good food and not as expensive as you might think when you first walk in. There are a number of different sections, including an outdoor area and one or two more formal restaurant rooms and a function room. I was shown into one of the more formal rooms and I was made to feel as if I was the only person there that night, which of course I wasn't as the place was packed out. I especially liked the way I was treated because it has been my experience in many parts of Europe to feel unwelcome because I am a woman dining alone. Maybe they don't like having to spare a table for one person or maybe they think I am up to no good, I really can't say. At St Peter Stiftskeller however, I was treated like royalty and made to feel very comfortable indeed.

Favorite Dish: I'm a sucker for a good schnitzel and the schnitzel here was superb. I can especially recommend the soup which was carrot and coconut with smoked duck, words can't describe how good this was. I asked for a glass of red wine and the waiter said that he had a very interesting merlot for me to try and it was excellent. All the bread I could eat and a lovely garden salad and the bill came to 34 euro. I was delighted. At the risk of sounding over the top, I would say that I would return to Salzburg for a third time, for no other reason but to go back to St Peter Stiftskeller.

Comparison: more expensive than average

Directions: In the courtyard of the Abbey Church of St Peter.

Price: US$41 and up
