I had just had my mobile telephone stolen by a Romanian taxi driver. I was in a lousy mood. My wife and I entered the Salzamt as two not very happy people, with our hunger completely gone. My mood wasn't helped by the minimalist room I had entered which looked just like a "greasy spoon" in England. However, the waiter... More

This restaurant has a big choice of items with many Viennese specialties. The menu is in German, but the super friendly waitstaff came to our table to translate the whole thing for us. The food was fresh and tasty. Not at all heavy. We loved everything we tried. On top of all this, Prices were very reasonable even with wine.... More

Food was good, service ok. Only really big drawback why I will not come back on my own - smoke very annoying despite "non-smoker area" because of insufficient sparation. At first you have to dive through the smoking area holding your breath to reach the non smoking area. Still between the smoking and non smoking area there were two permanently... More

We were really looking forward to our New Years Eve dinner here. Except for the beer, I can't say a single good thing about our experience. Only two waiters were working in the entire place. While they were both friendly, service was very slow. The food was average at best. We had much better Viennese food at more affordable prices... More

We were very happy to find this restaurant in our third evening in Vienna. It's not in the easier to find location but the walk is oh so worth it. Don't be fooled by its entry (a smoking bar) the food won't disappoint. The interior is very simple but well appointed and we were greeted by a nice waiter who... More

This place is much less imposing than I'd been led to expect in the reviews. This is not an haute cuisine venue, rather, honest plain Austrian food which tastes good, if not great. You are greeted upon entry by ab cloud of smoke ( Austrian restraints and bars, astonishingly, allow smoking indoors--go figure!). The menu is in German. If you... More

Went there twice in 2 weeks and each time I'm amazed by the quality of the service and the food that is served. The waiters are multi-lingual which is very useful when you can't read the menu and they are very polite and helpful! I'll definitely be going there more often.

We were blown away by the food. The menu is hand written every few days and it adds a lot of character. We had beef tartar, schnitzel, and perogies. All were done perfectly and we paid under 50€ for a meal we would have been happy to pay 100€ for. Highly recommended.

Salzamt provides combination of Austrian and Eastern-European food with very nice selection of vines. I was a little bit disappointed by the size of the portions, but the quality of the food and service is incredible. As well as atmosphere of old Vienna in the evening.

We ate here twice in a one week period. The first time we ate on the outdoor patio and the second time indoors because it was pouring. The food was great both times and the staff speaks English and was very helpful selecting dishes. White asparagus soup was delicious.
