Austrian classics in the Old Town

For traditional Austrian dishes, my picks include Metzgersteig am Alten Markt and Restaurant Herzl. The venue profiles highlight pork knuckle at Metzgersteig and veal Wiener schnitzel at Herzl. For a quicker bite, try a Bosna at Salzburger Grill Imbiss or a creative Leberkäse roll at LEKA on Getreidegasse.

Pizza, burgers and flavours from further afield

Casa Napoli on Bergstraße is a pick for Neapolitan pizza, with Pizza Bufala highlighted in my guide. Ludwig Burger and Fifty 4 Burgers are both on Linzergasse. For something different, Iberico serves tapas, while DAI PAI brings Asian street-food flavours close to the Festival Hall.

Pasta, tapas and a glass of wine

Die geheime Specerey on Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse brings together fresh pasta, meat specialities and wine. Iberico on Chiemseegasse is an option for sharing tapas, while Coquette Weinbar on Bergstraße offers wine and antipasti in an intimate setting.

Breakfast, coffee, matcha and gelato

The Old Town is worth visiting throughout the day. FYN serves breakfast and brunch, KAVA focuses on specialty coffee, DOMODOMO offers matcha and desserts, and ALPZ at Platzl makes gelato. That is why this guide covers more than restaurants alone.
