restaurants in hallstatt and salzburg

On a very warm afternoon in Salzburg, we had a fabulous lunch at Zirklewirt on the deck. I believe our choices included spinach dumplings, spaetzle, and other local entrees. And I had one of the most refreshing cocktails ever. We were very happy to stumble upon this place. I seem to recall we also had a nice dinner at Alter Fuchs (if I remembered that name correctly). It is on the other side of the river from the old town.

I second the recommendation for Alter Fuchs, we had a very nice lunch there.

I don't pay attention to names or remember details, but pick one of the waterfront restaurants in Halstatt for your fish dinner. Very pleasant experience.

If you are tired of pork, sausages, and starches in Salzburg...

I have been to Salzburg 5 times and left there yesterday. Keep in mind that pork is my favorite vegetable, but these are my favorite places to eat:

• Bärenwirt: http://www.baerenwirt-salzburg.at/index.php
• The food courts at Augustinerbräu Mülln. The one run by Familie Pavlovic is my favorite.
• The Goldene Kugel is outstanding: https://goldene-kugel.eu/

In Salzburg, Augustiner Brewhouse.
I'll tell you where not to eat in Hallstatt, Derbl Cafe - packet soup and store-bought pizza of cardboard quality.

I'll second the Bärenwirt as a recommendation in Salzburg. Famous for Backhendel (fried chicken), but has many local dishes. Huge Knödel served there too. Make reservations.
