Description: The Esszimmer offers a variety of colour when it comes to décor. The first thing you see on entering the restaurant is the colour red. The next room offers bright yellow walls and white furnishings. Pictures and rugs provide further splashes of colour. In the summer you can sit out and relax on the terrace under the awning, surrounded by stone walls. Office workers and people heading off to the festival and the concerts can treat themselves to a good meal at the Esszimmer. The chef Andreas Kaiblinger produces culinary delights which are out of this world. The wine list is impressive and offers a selection of fine wine. The staff are pleasant and will certainly recommend you a good bottle.

Do not be put off by the exterior--once inside, all is perfect. Flawless friendly service, sublime food. We were presented with four degustation menus. My partner took the fish, I took the chef's with the accompanying wines. Every dish was a delight, and dining out in the terrace area was worthy. If you are into food, this is the place.... More

The Esszimmer is an upscale restaurant that delivers the type of experience a foodie expects from a Michelin star establishment. The service was professional and attentive. The food was prepared with creative flair, inspired by local specialties and the wine pairings were wonderfully matched. Dessert was perfect. We ate lunch here, and it was not crowded, which allowed for very... More

Whenever we go away we like to splash out one night on some fine dining and heard that this is THE place to do in Salzburg. Whilst the food was certainly of a very high standard, overall we couldn't help but be a little underwhelmed - particularly for the price (and we're used to London's dining prices). We had the...

Walked up the river from our downtown hotel to the restaurant, nearly walked right by the place (small doorway and right on the curve). Beautiful interior space, very warm and comforting. We were very under-dressed, yet they were nicely accommodating to us. We did the tasting menu and I wish I took notes. Each dish was unbelievable, well-prepared, subtle and... More

Totally enjoyed our meal in Esszimmer. One of the best we had in Salzburg. Good value for money. Definitely worth the trip here. Service was great and I would visit here again if I come back to Salzburg.

One of the best restaurants in Salzburg, the chef is a genius and very creative. The food is very high quality and the his creations are unique. The service is very good as well. I also like the interior, it is not too fancy, you still feel very comfortable. The desserts are a must.

A Michelin star awarded restaurant where you will receive great value for money if you go for lunch and the Chef's three course special. As it is mainly a dinner restaurant lunch outings will guarantee easier booking (a must) and a highly personal service. The modern interior design leaves a comfortable feeling and the light-filled dining rooms makes you feel... More

Not far from the City centre this restaurant fullfilled the expectations in food quality and creativity including the dish- and glass-culture. (The cuttlery could be of more quality and fashion.) The recommended wines did not fit always, e.g. the Gelber Muskateller for the starter was too sweet and lovely, the red wines too cold. The service was nice and polite.... More

For our one night in Salzburg, my husband and I wanted to make sure we ate somewhere special. Esszimmer fit the bill! Any restaurant that provides a stool specifically for my purse is a winner in my book, but seriously - everything here was outstanding from food to service. When we arrived, we were seated promptly at a table decorated... More
