From the quality of the butter it is obvious the chef has talent. The rest of the food on the table was a cacophony of flavours. “Too many notes”. Tries too hard to impress.

Dear Paul, Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear that you recognized the quality and potential in our kitchen especially the attention to detail shown even in something as simple as the butter. At the same time, we're sorry to learn that the rest of your dining experience did not meet your expectations and that you felt the dishes were overly complex. Your comments are valuable to us. Striving for creativity and uniqueness is important to our culinary approach, but guest clarity and balance are equally key and your feedback helps us reflect on that. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, Your H-Hotels Team Sergej Rosenberg - Online Reputation Manager

An incredible experience. The flavors were amazing and combined in original ways. The presentation was beautiful. I wanted to try everything on the menu. A show-stopper in the end: the smoked cinnamon deconstructed apple strudel. You won't find that beauty anywhere else in town. When you're in the mood for creative vegetarian cuisine, this is your place. Loved it!

An amazing, innovative menu in the theme of the Sound of Music. 4 courses including the fun cocktail, and the best version of struedel we have had- deconstructed. Why the restaurant was not busy, I do not understand. The ambiance is lovely, and the service was outstanding, and the price was very fair for what we received!
Gaumenfreund - SalzburgResponded on May 8, 2025
Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're delighted that you enjoyed our Sound of Music-themed menu and especially our take on the strudel — it's one of our favorites too! It truly means a lot to know that the ambiance, service, and value all met your expectations. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable dining experience — and next time, perhaps with a few more guests around to share the joy!
