I come here quite regularly, and most of the time eat off the Tageskarte (daily menu). One sunny August lunch, Kaiserschmarrn was listed on the Tageskarte.

Sat outside beside the trickling stream, I batted away wasps as the dish arrived. One of the largest portions of Kaiserschmarrn, the pancake was quite thin – good if you like the more pancake, crispy, batter pieces, rather than those which are chunky and fluffy. The jam helping was generous, enough to have a helping with each mouthful (or enough to leave for the wasps if you prefer to not smother each piece in the sugary compote).

I unfortunately didn’t take a picture… but the day it arrives on the Tageskarte I will for sure tuck in again!

The start of the Kaiserschmarrn story begins here.

The first weekend I set foot in Austria, wondering through the streets of Salzburg, I stumbled across a quaint courtyard off the busy Getreidegasse. Looking to try something ‘Austrian’ to eat along with my coffee, I looked over to a couple eating a sweet looking dish with compote. I pointed to it as the waiter asked me for my order.

And that was it, the Kaiserschmarrn love began.

Succulent raisins with a healthy portion of plum jam, there was plenty of icing sugar, and not too much pancake egg taste either, meaning this was a sweet helping.

The cafe is beautiful too. It is a quiet courtyard, the waiters leave you to enjoy the peaceful setting. And without many tourists stumbling across this, there were only a couple of lunch dates and some regulars sat at the coffee bar inside.

I would thoroughly suggest this for a cafe in the Old Town touristy area. It’s a nice retreat from a day of sightseeing and shopping; you don’t have to deviate too far if you need to rest legs and have a sugar and caffine top up, and you feel as if you’ve found a hidden gem.

It doesn’t seem to have a website, but see it on TripAdvisor here.
