Restaurant Triangel

Tucked away off the main street, Triangel is a traditional Austrian eatery that serves an array of delicious and traditional cuisine. Using meat, fruits and vegetables sourced regionally, the owners have a strict philosophy of using only the very best, high-quality ingredients. The menu features hearty dishes, such as beef goulash, accompanied by bread dumplings and a selection of vegetarian dishes, including tomato risotto.

See and be seen among the Salzburg Festival glitteratti in Triangel's large outdoor seating area, or cozy up in the intimate dining room of this organic-farming-focused Austrian restaurant. The endless pounding coming from the kitchen tells you that the Wiener schnitzel is a popular choice, but perhaps the highlight here is the schweinsbraten: roast pork belly served with dumplings and cabbage.

The pavement terrace faces the festival hall, centerpiece of the summer’s headlining Salzburg Festival. A short stroll from here is St Peter’s Abbey, where you can admire the rococo-in-overdrive church and the cemetery’s eerie catacombs hollowed out of the cliff face.

A favorite of well heeled Salzburgers as well as people attending a show at the Salzburg Festhaus, Triangel features updated Austrian classics. The decor is modern and homey at the same time, a contemporary twist on alpine kitsch. Start your meal with a glass of Austrian Gruner Veltliner or a local Austrian lager.Go traditional with ghoulash (dumplings in a slightly smokey paprika sauce) or indulge in an expertly roasted chicken served over pumpkin risotto drizzled with Styrian pumpkin seed oil .

Welcome to Triangel in the picturesque city of Salzburg, where the attractions are as mesmerizing as their name!. Prepare to be triangularly perplexed as you explore this unique square that defies convention in the most charming way. With its triangular shape, you'll find yourself unknowingly entering strange angles, posing effortlessly in front of triangular sculptures, and marveling at the whimsical geometric design of the surrounding buildings.

On the way Heidi wanted me to see Triangel Restaurant, which is behind the University Church and adjacent to the festival halls of the famous Salzburg Festival. It’s a popular and cozy little place (always two entrees for €4.50 each on the luncheon menu) but during the Salzburg Festival Heidi told me that you’ll find festival patrons in suits and gowns sharing outdoor lunch tables with folks in shorts and t-shirts.

Located conveniently across the road from Salzburg's festival hall, Triangel is a restaurant that embodies the essence of Austrian restaurant culture. With a firm belief in sourcing top-quality ingredients from local suppliers, Triangel's owners prioritise organically farmed products. Their commitment to excellence shines through in every dish they serve.

A visit to the Triangel in the Wiener-Philharmoniker-Gasse is a must, especially around the time of the Salzburg Festival. Experience typical Austrian dining culture in an intimate atmosphere with excellent regional food. Classics and interesting selections from all over the world create a varied menu.

Triangel isn't a bar, but THE place to meet - before, after and during the performances - with its guest garden and view of the Festspielhaus. Ever since Anna Netrebko & Co. chose this place as their "break room", so to speak, people have been coming here, festival chatter almost always included.

Triangel serves traditional Austrian cuisine with a modern flair. It is a warm homey place with friendly staff. All ingredients are purchased regionally and, wherever possible, organically grown.
