Very old restaurant (since 1863!) in the historic center of Salzburg. The setting is really nice, you really feel like you're eating in an very old place (the building is far older than the restaurant I guess). The hardest part is getting a table! I advise you to make a reservation, but it's also nice to share a table with other tourists! The food is typically Austrian, which is cool. On the menu, Liver dumplings with sauerkraut are presented as Mozart's favorite dish, and I must say, it was surprisingly good! With a good glass of Riesling, it was fantastic!

Zwettler's Wirtshaus is a nice and historic looking restaurant with a great atmosphere. It was full when we arrived and we had to wait a few minutes for a table. The waiter was very pleasant, helpful and funny. The food was delicious. Visiting the restaurant was a great experience. We will definitely visit the restaurant again in the future when we are in Salzburg.

Great beer and food, absolutely recommended (and I am usually not a big fan of German-Austrian restaurants!). The oxtail was really delicious!

It was busy and famous restaurant with lot of people lining up, we are lucky to get seat at 4.30 PM.  Honestly, it was just okay restaurant and would be great if it had more seasoning.

The price was typical in the oldtown area. The service was quick, excellent and friendly, he’s the one who saves the day.

Excellent Austrian restaurant in near Mozartplatz in the old town of Salzburg. Great original Wiener Schnitzel. Tasty side salad. We also had a Bratwurst that was good.
You better make a reservation or be prepared to wait outside for a table. We waited 30 minutes and it was worth it.
The staff is super friendly and well organized.
