2 Best Restaurants in Bad Ischl, Salzkammergut

Café Zauner

$ Fodor's choice

If you haven't been to Zauner, you've missed a true highlight of Bad Ischl. The desserts—particularly the house creation, Zaunerstollen, a chocolate-covered confection of sugar, hazelnuts, and nougat—have made this one of Austria's best-known pastry shops. Emperor Franz Josef used to visit every day for a Guglhupf, a lemon sponge cake.

Grand-Café & Restaurant Zauner

$$$
If you enjoyed a cake at the acclaimed Café Zauner, you may want to visit their second location for something heartier. The Zauner restaurant specializes in Austrian classics and wine, including beef and dumplings and Styrian chicken salad. Save room for dessert and share a generous Salzburger Nockerl.
