As a Gault&Millau-awarded fine dining restaurant, Zirbelzimmer is a place where craftsmanship, authenticity and atmosphere meet in timeless elegance. Guests enjoy refined Austrian food with international accents, prepared with seasonal and regional ingredients. At its core: genuine hospitality and culinary craftsmanship. Whether in the richly detailed dining room or on the Salzach terrace with views of Hohensalzburg Fortress, every visit becomes an unforgettable experience. We look forward to enchanting you at the Zirbelzimmer.
