Social dining at the hot iron hat in Restaurant Mirabell
When the weather turns cold, this culinary tradition at the Sheraton is exactly what I crave.

As the evenings in Salzburg grow colder, I find myself seeking places that offer more than just a meal—I want an experience. Recently, I visited Restaurant Mirabell inside the Sheraton to try their unique 'hot hat' dinner. The concept is straightforward yet clever: you grill various cuts of meat and fresh vegetables on a cone-shaped iron, while a savory broth bubbles away in the rim.
I truly appreciate the relaxed pace of this meal. Instead of waiting for a plate to be served, you actively participate in the cooking process. It removes any sense of rush and provides the perfect backdrop for long, uninterrupted conversations. It feels almost like gathering around a campfire.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a low-key but memorable dining experience. The hat is available every Saturday from 6 PM. I suggest booking your spot online in advance, as this special offering at the Mirabell has become quite popular. See the original post on Instagram →
