Restaurant Salzamt

Frommer's Review

This is the best restaurant in a neighborhood -- the "Bermuda Triangle" -- that's loaded with less desirable competitors. It evokes a turn-of-the-20th-century Viennese bistro, replete with Wiener Werkstatte-inspired chairs and lighting fixtures, cream-color walls, and dark tables and banquettes where you're likely to see an arts-involved, sometimes surprisingly prominent clientele of loyal repeat diners, including Karl Lagerfeld and the Prince of Monaco. Sit within its vaulted interior or -- if weather permits -- move out to any of the tables on the square, overlooking Vienna's oldest church, St. Ruprecht. Well-prepared items include a terrine of broccoli and artichoke hearts, light-textured pastas, filets of pork with a Gorgonzola-enriched cream sauce, several kinds of goulash, and fresh fish. One of the most noteworthy of these is fried filets of Saibling, a fish native to the coldwater streams of western Austria, served with lemon or tartar sauce.
