I am Claus.
Founder & Curator of Essen in Salzburg
My Story

I'm Claus Wunsch — founder and curator of Essen in Salzburg. Salzburg is my home. For over 20 years I've been discovering every corner of this beautiful city. I love finding real hidden gems — the small places away from tourist paths, the best Schnitzel in town, the cosiest coffee houses. With Essen in Salzburg, I share my personal selection with you: every place I've visited myself and would recommend to my friends.
