How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Esszimmer
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred fixture on Müllner Hauptstraße, Esszimmer earns its place among Salzburg's most consistent fine-dining addresses through classical Austrian foundations inflected with restrained Asian and Mediterranean technique. Chef Andreas Kaiblinger's cooking is direct and flavour-forward, while Andrea Kaiblinger's front-of-house presence and wine selection add a layer of warmth that the city's more formal rooms rarely match. Opinionated About Dining ranked it #169 in Europe's Classical category for 2025.
Ikarus
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Housed inside Hangar 7 at Salzburg Airport, Ikarus operates at the upper tier of Austria's fine dining scene, holding two Michelin stars and 96 points on La Liste 2026 alongside Les Grandes Tables du Monde membership. Chef Martin Klein oversees a modern European menu that draws a loyal following of repeat visitors, with dinner service running Tuesday through Saturday and weekend lunch available.
Pfefferschiff
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred creative restaurant set in a 17th-century parish house in Hallwang, just outside Salzburg, Pfefferschiff pairs bold, ingredient-driven cooking with a wine list weighted toward Austrian producers, including grapes from the Vignés' own Kamptal vineyard. Open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, with Saturday lunch service, it draws a focused audience willing to travel beyond the city centre for serious seasonal cooking.
Senns
2 Michelin stars
Inside a converted metal factory on the edge of Salzburg, Senns holds two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 92 points (2026). Chef Andreas Senn's cooking moves through Austrian produce with a distinctly contemporary hand, pairing brook trout with caviar and carabinero shrimp with quinoa alongside a wine list that draws from across the Alpine arc and beyond. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday from 6:30 pm.
The Glass Garden
1 Michelin star
Perched above Salzburg inside Schloss Mönchstein's glass-vaulted dining room, The Glass Garden holds a Michelin star and offers a focused choice between four- and six-course set menus, including a dedicated vegan option. The format suits milestone meals: the panoramic city views, advance-order salt-crust fish, and a wine list weighted toward Austrian labels and French classics give the occasion genuine structure.
