St. Peter Stiftskulinarium

Dinner tonight was at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium — which proudly claims to be the oldest restaurant in the world, operating since the year 802.

I expected dark medieval interiors and old-world atmosphere. Instead, the courtyard where we sat was this fascinating blend of:

- historic abbey architecture
- Mediterranean flair
- modern art
- and slightly funky pop-art touches

Unexpected, but actually very cool.

The food itself was fantastic:

- wild garlic soup with asparagus
- mixed salad
- Tafelspitz with all the classic accompaniments
- Wiener Schnitzel
- and finally Salzburger Nockerln

And honestly? Those Salzburger Nockerln might have been one of the best desserts of the entire trip.Leggi altro
