Knödel
(dumpling), are expertly matched with
top wines. The €18 lunch is a bargain. Riedenburg is a 10-minute walk southwest of the

Bold colours and a veritable forest of stag antlers reveal archi-
tect Matteo Thun's imprint at Museum der Moderne's ultra-sleek restaurant. The food
goes with the seasons with specialities like tortellini of organic local beef with tomato rag-
out and tangy green-apple sorbet with cassis. The glass-walled restaurant and terrace take
in the full sweep of Salzburg's mountain-backed skyline.
