Esszimmer

I could not be more happy with our dining experience at Esszimmer! From the moment we walked in until when we left, the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We enjoyed how they described each one of the seven courses along with suggesting wine pairings. It was a family affair there, the mother who ran the restaurant along with her daughter were both working there and it was so cute!

Thank you for the amazing evening!

Phenomenal food! Such great flavour and very inventive. The other reviews were right about how great this restaurant is. My husband and I both loved it. Every item of food was delightful. I had the vegetarian menu and he had the Esszimmer menu with the pigeon. (If you are wondering what to wear the atmosphere and guest attire are somewhat casual. Don't wear a t-shirt but most everyone wore sneakers)

We to came Salzburg for my birthday so We Had my birthday meal lastnight very good very educational the attention to detail was magnificent the owner she is absolutely amazing gave me a little present when we left the ladies knew the food very well the salmon dish was my favourite and i prefer meat so thank you....

My husband and I went for our anniversary. I can’t say much on the way of parking because we walked. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by wonderful staff who took our coats. Our table was nicely set up with adorable Christmas ornaments. They provide side tables for purses and phones to avoid crowding the table which is a nice touch. I selected the vegetarian menu and it did not disappoint. The menu tasted like a homey holiday meal. The flavors were complex and warm. Each dish just felt like warm love.

It started with polenta thyme, onion, truffle. It was like buttery smooth fancy mash potatoes with the flavor of what can only be described as happy warm tears from Christmas angels. It comes in multiple dollops which was extremely filling. (This is a cold dish)

Next was lentils curry and eggplant. It was the best curry I’ve ever had. It has little crunchy pieces of toast that added a really wam bam thank you ma’am to the whole dish. (This is a warm dish)

Stuffed onion, celery, and sweet pepper was the third dish. It was like a fancy lasagna but the lasagna noodles are actually big pieces of onion. The onion isn’t overwhelming- you might think it is because the onion pieces are so large but you’d be wrong, it’s extremely balanced. The sweet pepper just dances on your tongue. Super yummers. (This is a warm dish)

Beet-root gnocchi serves as the 4th dish. This was my least favorite- this does not indicate that it’s bad. Beets just have a very earthy taste, to me, and this was no different. I still enjoyed the dish very much. (This is a warm dish)

Chestnut-red wine-lime dessert was ah-mazing. Those little lime dollops were like electoral pops in your mouth. The ice cream was tart but balanced with the cake very well. I enjoyed this dessert very much. (This is a cold dish)

I will probably never have a meal this nice again in my entire life. It’s worth the money. The only moderately moody thing I can say is I wish all the meals were the same number of courses. My husband got a 7 course meal/ mine was 5 courses and we didn’t have dishes that came out at the same time and he got two desserts- he shared which is nice but I would have loved to have had the same number of courses.

Treated myself to a nice dinner alone with a book and I'm glad I did it here. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and comfortable with very friendly staff. The esszimmer tasting menu was superb and overall found the dishes incredibly delicate and not banging you over the head. I look forward to my next visit.

My visit to Esszimmer was fantastic. Easily the best meal I had on my first trip to Austria. The staff was courteous and attentive. The meal was unique and nicely paced. I enjoyed each of the 7 courses.

This place is a gem. Beautifully presented and wonderfully tasty food, which lives up to the price tag. Particularly enjoyed their vegetarian menu. Staff were super friendly and professional. They also went above and beyond to make my partners’ special birthday extra memorable.

The food was genuinely very good and also the presentation was on point. The service was friendly, but seemed a bit inexperienced. Unfortunately the décor was a bit outdated, but the visit was definitely worth it, primarily because of the food. Overall a deserved Michelin star.

Lovely interior
Excellent service
Amazing food

After reading about this restaurant in lonely planet we decided to book for our upcoming holiday and we were not disappointed.

We chose the lunch menu with paired wines and were spoilt with a delicious welcome of beef tartare, followed by tuna three ways which was melt in your mouth perfection! Then a duck dish, again perfectly cooked and paired with delicious rich wine. Finishing with a Christmas flavoured dessert! Excellent service throughout the meal and a great experience.

I was a bit skeptical before our visit, but was positively surprised. The lunch menu offers surprising value at 65€, which includes a generous portion of bread, a great amuse bouche, and a selection of petits fours. Different to most restaurants in Austria you aren’t charged extra for this “Gedeck”. The combinations were creative, presentation on point and flavours excellent. The décor is a bit 2000s, but overall a great place and definitely one of the best in Salzburg.

Everything was wonderful. Thank you Team Esszimmer especially Hannah for the amazing night.

Absolutely great experience with this restaurant. Really tasty and interesting food as well as great service. This place definitely deserves at least one Michelin star.

Great flavours, service top notch!

The restaurant really deserves the Michelin start it has. From service, to taste, to presentation, to ambience - everything was top notch. It is hard to describe the experience with words, but each dish has its own character, it is a festival for the sences and each bite brings explosion of amazing tastes. Wine pairing was also very proper. The service was super attentive and flexible. Whenever a dish or a wine from the pre fixed list was not in line with our taste they readily proposed an alternative. Overall unforgettable experience!

An explosion of flavors in every bite! What a delightful experience, exceptional dishes and impeccable service. This family run business is a gem and was the highlight of our trip!

The owners Andrea was fabulous hostess and adjusted our menus to rush in 1.5 hours for a concert. Highly recommend gone dining and innovative cuisine.

It was a pleasant meal. Thank you for the comfort and delicious dish. :)

Delicious food, excellent service, and wonderful eating experience!

What an amazing experience. Kudos to the three waitresses that served us and were just delightful!

It seems that the good personality of the owner is creating an unpretentious atmosphere.
