wood-fired pizza, the menu is packed with Austrian faves such as schnitzel and venison
goulash with dumplings at this galleried villa. Pull up a chair on the maple-tree-shaded
terrace when the sun's out. There's often live Tyrolean music on summer evenings (see

Trout fresh from the stream outside is the big deal at this quaint chalet restaurant, with a
terrace for warm-day dining. You might begin with creamy pumpkin soup and move on
to, say, grilled trout served with parsley-butter potatoes. There's a dedicated menu for
kids. Eva's Fischerstüberl is 1km south of the train station.

In winter, there's no place like
this stone cellar beneath the Salzburger Hof hotel for warming up over fondue, a raclette
cheese fest or hot stone specialities. Kids menus are available.
