Salzburg Food

Salzburger Nockerl is the local signature: a soufflé baked into three golden peaks meant to echo the surrounding mountains, dusted with sugar over a cherry compote. It's usually made for two and takes time to bake, so order it early in the meal if you want it for dessert.

Mozartkugel, the chocolate, marzipan and nougat sweet named for the composer, is sold everywhere, but Konditorei Fürst is the shop that claims to have invented the original recipe.

Wiener Schnitzel, Gröstl (a fried potato and egg hash), goulash with dumplings, and Buchteln, a soft yeasted pastry usually served warm.

Augustiner Bräustübl is the classic beer hall experience — self-serve beer straight from wooden kegs, and it's one of the friendliest places in the city for bringing your own food.
