Die Weisse

We arrived with no booking and a family of 5 and told they were fully booked. After a little rearrangement we were seated and immediately served by very nice English speaking waiter who could not do more to suggest suitable items on the menu. He offered my wife a taste of several wines and suggested I would like the original house beer, he was right. The food was great and we said it was the best meal we had whilst in Austria. The Weiner schnitzel was large lightly cooked and tender my kids had beef soup with shredded pancake which is their Austrian favourite. I highly recommend this place for the service, food and atmosphere.

My husband and I spent 5 days in Salzburg early October. After doing Frauline Maria’s Sound of Music Bicycle tour we were ready for lunch. Another American couple on the tour told us about Die Weisse and the great beer and amazing German potatoe salad they enjoyed there. So off we went and we were not disappointed! The potatoe salad had a kind of paper thin fresh pickled cucumber topping and it was amazing! We had a nice casual lunch and the beer was great too! I would certainly return and Would love the recipe for the potato salad!

Great place in Salzburg in the beautiful cobblestone area near Old Town
These guys hustle! Pouring drinks and great Austrian wines as well as taking your choice of dinner.
The schnitzel cordon bleu is wonderful! Schnitzel is perfectly breaded and juicy with ham and a soft cheese that oozes with each bite. Lemon goes wonderful with it, which is on your plate, along with fresh parsley chopped. My husband Joe ordered the goulash and I have to say, it was fantastic! It comes with a cheese dumpling and the depth of the goulash with the bite of cheese dumpling is something you’d want on a damp day… so good!
The setting is just what you want, you’re in Salzburg. Wooden chairs, mixed, great paintings on the wall, old fashioned candlesticks on each table with a REAL candle. You feel as though you’re in a hunting lodge in Austria or Germany.
GO!

This is a huge bar/​pub/​restaurant; for non smokers, make sure to turn left as soon as you pass the main entrance or continue straight after passing the small bar to your right to have the pub/​bar experience where smoking is allowed, outside seating are also available.
Service speaks German with limited English to get by (which is still a plus), menus in English/​Italian are also available.
This restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel staff for authentic Austrian food although they also had German food. We ordered a salad (which had so much dressing), dumplings (3 types of meat) & a cordon bleu; I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE cordon blue by the way, everything else was okay. nothing mind blowing.
Our server was very busy but paid close attention to us & other customers. (I have noticed that servers in Europe tend to have more responsibilities than ours in the U.S.)
Ambiance is okay; I seriously regret unintentionally entering the pub/​bar area where everyone else smoke (which I noticed is so normal in the country). All in all, this was an okay experience people can afford to miss.

Just ate here tonight with my husband and two friends after our sound of music bike tour through Salzburg (awesome by the way). We were hungry and tired! This place was recommended to us by our tour guide and it did not disappoint! Within 30 min we had already been seated, had our drinks and food. The food was tasty and the portions were more than enough! We got
— Bratwurst — came with potatoes and sauerkraut — delicious! The sauerkraut was popular amongst all of us.
— Spinach dumplings — now I know they call this dish «dumplings», but it’s really more like gnocchi in a Parmesan like cream sauce with ham. It was yummy but super heavy.
— Deep fried chicken –came with potato salad and some kind of cucumber salad. This tasted like wiener schnitzel but made with chicken — also very much to our liking.
— Pork roasted in a pan — came with sauerkraut and a big fat dumpling that was like a matzo ball. The pork was super juicy and tasty with a very nice au jus. The sauerkraut was a raw one vs the cooked one with the bratwurst.
— Apple Strudel — this is more like a less sweet more tart Apple filling made with think filo dough. Definitely not you average Apple pie with a thick crust, but I prefer it because it wasn’t as sweet. The flavor was great.
Overall very high quality food at reasonable prices. I should mention we had 6 beers and a bottle of sparkling water. They brew their own beer and the original on draught was popular with all the beer connoisseurs. Thumbs up!

sehr gut！
The food is excellent! And the service is fast and friendly. I love the warm atmosphere here. And in my three-​day stay in Salzburg, I have been to Die Weisse for 3 times! It worths a great comment!
The beef steak and sausage are really good there.

We don’t usually give a 5^th star, but for a local’s pub, this one deserves it. The sauerkraut was the best we’ve ever had, their own brand of beer had a unique, hint of fruit taste (we split 5 half liters it was so good) and the service was wonderful. We love to see teamwork between the servers, bartenders, cooks & clean-​up staff & they had it!
Nicely priced since it’s a few blocks out of the main tourist areas.

Kein Bier-​Brettl, und nur eines ihrer biere vom Fass, die anderen in der Flasche. Aber das Essen ist nicht schlecht, vor allem die Kräftige Rindssuppe ist recht gut. Wenn Sie nicht ein raucher sind, ist jedoch der ganze ort fast voller rauch, obwohl es eine separate Raucherlounge auf der anderen Seite, ohne hindernisse wie türen, aber größer und mehr spaß, sehr Nightclub.

Bar, brewpub and restaurant in Salzburg near old town. We got in, even though it was the last day of the St Rupert’s. Awesome local brews, special for St Ruperts. Excellent local cuisine. Pork, pretzels, spetzel. Very accommodating. Delicious.

Went to Die Weisse on the advise of the front desk clerk at the hotel. This is a place where locals eat, not a tourist-​trap restaurant. I have found that when you eat where the locals eat you get good food at good prices. Had a really good meal, got to talk to some locals (I was dining alone that night). Friendly, good service, and quality food. A bit off the beaten path, but worth the trip.

Ambiance locale très agréable. Service courtois. Belle variété de bières dont certaines de saison. À essayer, la «kotelette» de porc avec ses haricots au bacon! Attention, à 21h, c’est chargé, donc pensez à réserver ou à vous présenter plus tôt.

absolute Empfehlung: Schweinsbraten!
deftige Bratensauce, eine unfassbar knusprige Kruste und dazu leckeres Sauerkraut mit Braterdäpfel… ein MUSS bei jedem Salzburgbesuch

Die Weiss original beer for 4 €. Light tastes different. House made.
Weiner Schnitzel aka deep fried pork scallop € 10.80.
Outdoor seating – self seating. Fast service. Speaks english but very nontourist customers. Best schnitzel I ever had and I’m not a fan of it in general. Comes with cranberry sauce and potatoes on side and lemon to flavor to your tasting.

Abends ist’s hier ziemlich voll im Gastgarten, Reservierung ist zu empfehlen. Sehr gute Biere und deftiges Essen.

Nette Location mit gutem Bier und essen. Preise sind soweit auch fair…
Aber: wir waren zu zweit und das essen meiner Freundin kam mehr als 20 min später! Sorry, aber absolutes no go.

Top Location. Super Bier und Heuriger essen

We went on a Saturday and were told that they were only offering a limited menu that night. I’m not sure if it just happened to be that night or not, but it was a disappointment because so many of the other things in the other Unilocal reviews and pictures looked so good and weren’t available. The menus that we had (the «small menu») were in German only and the waitress who was completely phoning it in gave a quick run down of what everything was, but went through it so quickly we could barely catch any of it. We played it safe and got the Wiener schnitzel, and it was decent at best. The price was reasonable (10 euro, at many other places I’ve seen it twice that) but I can’t help but get the feeling that if the waitress didn’t rush us out, put any effort into service, and if the full menu was available when we went we would have had a nice time there.
Instead it was exceedingly mediocre. Its possible we just went on an off night, because otherwise I’d have to say that it’s heavily overrated if our experience was the norm.

Wow, glad I stumbled on this place thanks to Unilocal!We almost didn’t get a seat because the place was so full. Took a little time between getting beer to getting food but it was well worth it. We tried all the beer and I had the 8% alcohol beer they were all great! My wife loved her pork and she said it was the best she had ever had, and she never says that. I had the Hungarian goulash and it was delicious. If your in the area, here is where you want to go for lunch/​dinner!

This place is large and crowded and for good reason — the food and beer here are great. They served drinks that I didn’t find anywhere else, and everything was delicious.

I read the reviews (including the Elite comments) and then decided to go there after visiting Salzburg.
We got there w/​high expectations due to the good rating. But …
OK, the service was perfect. At arrival all tables outside where full and the waiter could not find a table for us. He asked us to sit inside till he’ll find a free table outside. We sat inside and not finished ordering we got transferred to an outside table.
The ordered food came quickly and the waiter also take care of our drinks w/​o asking.
Speaking about the food: we were very disappointed. Quality was low and the taste was so-​so.
And what about the beer? This was OK — we tasted the various offerings and the «Weisse» and the «Maerzen» was very good.
Summary: go there and drink beer! For food lets check Unilocal for options ;-)

Super Lokal, rustikal eingerichtet, köstliches Bier und dazu leckere Speisen! Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Super Lokal! Gutes Konzept: Von rustikal, über Sportbar bis moderne Kneipe. Alles da! Top

My favorite meal in Salzburg was at Die Weisse. As is all-​too-​common in Salzburg, most of the tables were reserved when we arrived (before 6pm, as I recall). They were able to seat us at a table for which the reservation was quite a bit later. I’m glad they did, because the food and beer were really great. It had a fairly casual and unstuffy vibe.
Die Weisse is a bit of a hike from the standard tourist bridge, so you may want to grab a taxi. It seemed like a great neighborhood place – not many other tourists in evidence. That’s the kind of place I like, so I was thrilled.
Put this very high on your list for your next visit to Salzburg.

Super österreichisches Essen. Guter Preis, gutes Bier und auch super Abendlokal.

Gut bürgerliche Küche, große Portionen, Super Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis. Die Suppen sind sehr schmackhaft und auch das Bier. Im Sommer ein riesiger Biergarten.

Ich war im Rahmen eines Geschäftsessens in der Weisse in Salzburg: sehr gemütlich, wahnsinnig leckeres Essen und ein hervorragendes Weissbier! Die Weisse lohnt sich auf jedenfall bei einem Besuch in Salzburg!

Wirklich ein klasses Lokal mit geschackvoller Hausmannskost und überaschender Finesse in den Speisen. Service war sehr aufmerksam und schnell. Am Abend ein Inntreff mit Bar.

This place is classically austrian, and one of the best places to eat in Salzburg. The staff are quick and friendly, the food is good and reasonably priced, and the beer is excellent. Highly worth making your way off the tourist path to check it out. Visit the beer garden out back!

Ein schöner Gastgarten, gute Speisen, leckeres Bier. Das Serviceteam ist freundlich und flott. Fast perfekt.

rustikale Brauerei-​Gaststätte mit genau passendem Flair. Lecker Bier und super Essen.

Eine Institution in Salzburg. Bestes, selbst gebrautes Weißbier, beste Küche mit lokalen Spezialitäten. Praktisch immer voll, daher immer reservieren außer Mittags.

Spitzenbier, anständiges Essen, urige Einrichtung und toller Service!
Zugegeben: vielleicht stellen nur wir als Touris uns so eine österreichische Braustube vor. Aber uns hat’s arg getaugt!
Das riesige Lokal ist am frühen Abend schon rappelvoll und bietet jede Menge Gelegnheit, die Eigenarten der Nachbarn (nicht nur im Lokal, sondern auch national gesehen) in Augenschein zu nehmen.
Das Essen ist in Ordnung, aber deswegen würden wir eher nicht unbedingt wiederkommen.
Bier und Atmosphäre suchen jedoch sicher ihresgleichen.

Für mich einfach Pflicht, wenn ich in Salzburg bin.
Das Essen ist ein Traum, das Bier sowieso. Räume gibt es von rustikal bis modern, zu 100% eine Empfehlung.

Wir waren zu zweit am Freitag hier. Der Service freundlich und flott, das Bier und andere Getränke lecker. weiter so.

Ein sehr tolles Lokal, das ich erst vor einem Jahr kennen lernen durfte. Das Lokal wird zu später Stund gerammelt voll, also unbedingt Tisch reservieren. Das Bier (Weissbier natürlich) wird selbst gebraut und schmeckt vorzüglich. Leider ausserhalb Salzburgs unbekannt. Gutes österreichisches Weissbier gibts ja nicht sooft, deswegen könnten die ruhig mehr Werbung österreichweit machen, denn auch in den anderen Bundesländern gibt es genug Weissbierliebhaber

Nette Kneipe (Restaurant und Bar in einem)
Leider zu umtriebiges Lokal mit schwacher Küche und mittelmässiges Gebräu. Dazu viel ‘A-​dabeis’ was dem lokal kein Flair geben sondern ein einfaches EventLokal… Wem’s gefällt…

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant. Das essen ist sehr gut. Als absolutes Highlight stellte sich das Weißbier heraus. Das müsst ihr probieren. Vom feinsten.
Weiterempfehlung 100%

Bier ist super, aber sonst hätten sie keine Gäste mehr.
Denn mit den Gerichten vergraulen sie mittlerweile alle. Letztes Ereignis: Erdäpfelkas, ohne Zwiebel, ohne Geschmack. Auf Rückfrage meinte der Kellner «ja die Zwiebel wässern sonst so». = Die Aufstriche werden auf Tage im Vorhinein gemacht, auf Kosten von Geschmack und Gästezufriedenheit. Toll, echt.
Wir sind früher viel hingegangen. Mittlerweile — nein danke. Tut mal wieder was für eure Reputation.

Great and affordable Austrian food in very convivial décor, especially in the garden. My only regret was the waitress who clearly was having a bad day. I requested her to clean up the table with beer bottles and astray left by the previous visitors and she responded with extremely unpleasant attitude that she only has two legs and two arms to do her job. We almost left the place by then but we already were sat down with a kid on his baby chair so decided to stay.
I have to say that the food was just amazing and the waitress came back with better attitude and even played with our kid when we gave her rather generous tip.
I would recommend the restaurant but for me, the terrific experience was ruined due to that little incidence. Pity.
