Restaurant Goldener Hirsch

Amazing traditional Austrian cuisine and stellar service in a truly historic setting. Recommended for a memorable Salzburg dining experience.

Id love to go back, it was beyonemd delicious and 14 dollars for a slab of ribs and soup! The deserts were perfect as was everything on the menu I ordered.

Great vibe restaurant- quiet and peaceful with lively waiting staff. We sat at the 400 year old family table in the corner that Mozart sat at at one point... We had the following items: Wines: Blaufränkisch -Oscars Szemens, Pinkafeld, Mittelburgenland St Laurent "Apfelgrund" -2015 Winery Vinum Pannonia, Neusiedlersee Cuvée Phönix "Goldener Hirsch" -2013 Winery J. U. M. Reumann, Deutschkreutz Yes I really do recommend all of them...and to add, do not be afraid to have any of these reds or the white with the fish. It really is an excellent course either way and neither overpowers the other. No longer do I look to French wines for fine meals, but to the Austrians. Bravo. (As a side, yes the St. Laurent is a French grape, but is grown here in Austria about 20 miles southeast of here) For food: Truffled Beef Carpaccio with Parmesan cheese Winter Salad with rolls of goat cheese, bacon, and apple-marinade Tomato Cream Soup with herb croutons Main Meals: Roasted Pike Perch filet with olive herbal oil snow peas and mashed potatoes Saddle of Venison with mushrooms, red cabbage, dumplings, and cranberries Overall this is probably one of the best meals I've ever had. This restaurant absolutely should be nominated for a Michelin award. Truly hands down round of applause for this delicious and exquisite beautiful portrayal of traditional Austrian, Viennese, and Salzburger cuisine. First off the carpaccio. Interestingly prepared in a single long-cut/slice filling the entire bottom of the plate. The Parmesan was an excellent 'hint of cheese' to compliment a wonderfully light but rich appetizer. Cleverly designed with a sprig of green salad in the middle there are drops of olive oil underneath the meat so when you press down to cut, it carefully and spaciously spreads out the olive oil to perfec proportions. The salad--nice set of freshly picked greens with perfectly cut slices of apples and delicious rolls of goat cheese. Hints of evenly smoked bacon and a light, but perfectly sweet apple marinade, this is an excellent light meal. (We split it in 2 so that it could be an appetizer) when we asked for it, they instead of bringing the dish out on one plate, split it between two plates perfectly so that it could be shared nicely instead of us having to pick apart the one salad plate between two dishes. The tomato soup -- wonderfully tasty and savory broth perfect for a cold winter night in this beautiful mountainside Austrian town. Nicely designed this super dish has a nice covering across the top with cream (yes, really cream!) That perfectly adds a nice touch to a well balanced dish. Pike perch--this dish is an interesting, but well put together meal. One nicely cut thick piece of fish, never having had pike perch, it had me wanting more. With the skin facing up, it had an excellent crunch to it sitting on a bed of lettuce greens and snap snow peas carefully combined with hints of speciality olive oil. The mashed potatoes are nicely presented as three dollops onto the plate each as an oval. These potatoes have a slightly yellow hew and are just wonderful. A hint of salt, but a nice balanced after taste this is not your mother's classic mashed potatoes...only better. Now onto the venison -- the meat is beautiful. There is no better way to describe a masterfully cut slice of meat with just an excellent touch of mushrooms (clearly freshly picked out of the forest this morning and then marinaded in the beef juices and olive oil) the red cabbage is sweet, but not too much. It has a nice tang at the end almost as that of a citrus, but doesn't overtake the rest of the meal. Overall it leaves a nicely well presented touch of 'tang' something clearly made a million times over in the cellar down the street. See Yelp for review of deserts

Great food, warm friendly staff. We had a wonderful supper.

What a treat it is. It's upscale but not pretentious. The staff is wonderful. The food is spectacular. The flavors and textures of the ingredients stand out and NOT salt. It's a place that we'll visit each time we're in Salzburg. Very highly recommended.

Elegant restaurant inside the Goldener Hotel with good food but a bit expensive.

Elegant and relaxing. Exceeded my expectations. Service was very attentive friendly and professional. Serving the food was a ritual. Food with an element of surprise. And yes, very tasty. Right portions. I had the smallest tasting menu and it was too much for me. Generous portion of a duck. Great place for a longer dinner.

Incredible! The food was sophisticated but traditional, and simply beautiful. Really cosy atmosphere. Wine list was amazing and the service made the experience perfect, friendly and attentive. Thank you!
