Traditional Bosna Sausage from Balkan Grill Walter

Salzburg Food Guide - Balkan Grill Walter

In Europe, nothing is a better snack than a wurst in a brotchen from a street vendor, and some for Salzburg! Balkan Grill Walter is one of the oldest and most recommended places for local Bosna grill sausage. This Bosnal sausage probably is one of the most popular cheap street food in Salzburg, loved by locals and tourists.

Hidden away from the main shopping street, the Balkan grill is worth seeking out. Always a long queue in front of the window counter, but moving very fast. Everything was made fast and clean. The menu is in German, English, Italian, and Japanese, and you’ll need to choose from the five-item on the menu.

We waited for 5 minutes to get our Bosna sausage grill. We chose the one with fresh onions and Currywurst sausage on bread. Both taste great and delicious. Tasty sausage seasoned perfectly.

It’s like a quick snack when you’re touring the Salzburg old town. Perfect for lunch on the go. I especially liked my Currywurst sausage, with a nice hint of curry, a nice hint of mustard, and nice onions. Yummy!

Balkan Grill Walter
Address: Getreidegasse 33, 5020 Salzburg, Austria
Business Hour: Daily from 11:00 to 18:30

Monk Beer from Augustiner Braustubl

Self Service Monk Beer in Augustiner Braustubl

If you’re looking for an authentic place to taste some local beer, Augustiner bräustübl is a must-visit for a unique food experience in Salzburg.

The Augustiner Braustubl is a 600-year-old monk brewery in Salzburg, with 5 incredible beer halls to enjoy your beer. Unlike the typical bar or brewery house, your beer is delivered the old-fashioned way! You’ll need to pay at the cashier, grab a stein, rinse it with cold water, then hand it over to be filled from the tap.

You can enjoy the beer in the old wooden hall or outdoor beer garden if the weather is nice. There are food stalls selling specialties, such as pork knuckle, sausages, salami, pork roasts, fried chicken, roast potatoes, even whole grilled fish. Everything is self-serve and the food is cheap.

We choose to enjoy our beer in the beer hall in a great dining atmosphere. Enjoy the locally brewed beer and lots of fun people here. Be prepared for long lines to purchase your beer and bring cash.

Augustiner Bräustübl
Address: Lindhofstraße 7, 5020 Salzburg, Austria
Business Hour: Weekday from 15:00 to 23:00, Weekend from 14:30 to 23:00

Salzburg Beer from Stiegl-Brauwelt

We visited Stiegl Brauwelt for its Brauwelt Tour, an interesting tour for the brewing exhibition. In the end, we got a small souvenir in the gift shop and a free taste of beer.

The restaurant is a nice casual bar where you can eat and drink something here. A great variety of beer is available, so here’s a good opportunity to explore the world of craft beer.

We were still stuffed and did not go for the food and had a good complimentary stiegl beer at the restaurant. Recommending a visit to taste the Salzburg’s beer. But if you are looking for gastronomical treats, you should look elsewhere.

Stiegl-Brauwelt
Address: Bräuhausstraße 9, 5020 Salzburg, Austria
Business Hour: Daily from 10:00 to 22:00

Traditional Austrian Cuisine from Alter Fuchs

The friendly Austrian restaurant, Alter Fuchs served awesome traditional Austrian cuisine, great wine at a fair price. The atmosphere here is very charming with rustic and cozy decor, which offers their guests comfort in combination with serving local treats.

This Salzburg best restaurant is located at Linzer Gasse, about 5 minutes walking distance from our hotel, ACHAT Plaza Zum Hirschen.

For food, Alter Fuchs served all kinds of typical dishes of the Austrian/German kitchen, with some Aperol Spritz and Wieninger beer. The food is all about meat and you need to try the Schnitzel, goulash, dumplings, and the biggest ham hock you’ve ever seen. Try the specialties and have a good beer or great wine.

Sausage Variation in Alter Fuchs Salzburg — Sausage Variation

We sampled the Fuchs-Gordon-Bleu, Sausage Variation, and also the Alter Fuchs specialties. All the food portion are huge. See the big plate of mixed grill over a bed of sauerkraut could hardly move afterward.

Best Dessert in Salzburg - Apple Strudel — Apple Strudel

Overall the food is excellent but we have never been disappointed. Recommended to try on their apple strudel after the main course. Freshly made, a little crispy with a little burst of flavor when chewed.

A pleasant dinner at a reasonable price in Salzburg. Always full, so better to reserve a table to avoid disappointment.

Alter Fuchs
Address: Linzer Gasse 47-49, Salzburg 5020 Austria
Business Hour: Daily from 12:00 to 00:00

Menya Taiga is one of the popular and highly rated (based on Tabelog) ramen restaurants in Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture). If you have a few nights in Kanazawa then you should check this place out. Rich taste, great noodles, absolutely delicious ramen. You’ll love this Kanazawa best miso ramen!

We were in Kanazawa and staying at the MyStays Kanazawa Castle Hotel during our Chubu trip. It’s located nearby with Kanazawa Station, with probably 5 minutes of walking distance. We were hungry and looking for Kanazawa’s best food for dinner. Located opposite the hotel, we saw a non-descript ramen shop with a queue outside. We were told by the hotel receptionist that this ramen shop is one of the local’s favorite restaurants, with the best miso ramen in Kanazawa.

Without hesitation, we decided to try it out.

Menya Taiga

The Menya Taiga (麺屋大河) is quite hidden in the alley and the sign isn’t that obvious. But the way to look out for it would probably be the long queue outside the shop, frequented by both tourists and locals alike too. It’s a tiny ramen shop, with a long counter that fits for about twelve seats on the counter. Expected for a wait, but the queue moves fast.

While waiting in line, the aroma keeps wafting out when someone opened the doors to leave. It was so fragrant and we all can’t wait for the bowl of Kanazawa’s best ramen here.

Order was taken while we were queueing so that by the time you sat down, the food was almost ready. The staff was able to speak very minimal English and we managed to somehow just ordered by pointing to the picture.

Menya Taiga (麺屋大河)
Address: 6-3 Horikawamachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0847, Japan
Business Hours：11:30 – 15:00；17:30 – 23:00 (Closed on Mondays)
Getting there: 5 minutes walk from Kanazawa Station

Menya Taiga Food Menu

The limited menu is only available in Menya Taiga, from a selection of about five items, between three kinds of miso broth based on basic normal, black miso with squid black ink, and red miso with spicy chilies added. You can choose for the normal ramen soup or dry-based (tsukemen).

Extra toppings such as soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, scallions, etc. can be added that cost about ¥100 each. The price is rather cheap too, with approximately ¥800-1,000 only.

Although Menya Taiga had the interesting flavors here, the black squid ink ramen, all of us still ordered the traditional miso ramen with extras, plus Yebisu beers. The beer is cheap and we ordered the Yebisu Japanese beer to couple with the miso ramen.

Miso Ramen from Menya Taiga

We queued up for about 30 minutes before we got in for dinner. A complimentary mixed fruit juice to ready your palate for the umami explosion once you are seated. The drink is sweet and refreshing, can’t complain of a complimentary healthy vegetable drink. And we had the Yebisu beer served too!

The service was prompt. we were served a piping hot bowl of ramen shortly.

When we got the ramen, we could understand why there were so many locals. Inside the bowl of Menya Taiga’s miso ramen, we got the thick roast pork, bamboo shoots, onions and greens, extra onsen egg, and of course, the ramen noodles with broth.

I had a sip on the miso broth. It was flavorful and extremely good. I can taste the saltiness from the miso, but with a twist of refreshingness yuzu that balances it off. It was a very unique twist of ramen miso broth that I never tasted before.

Not too salty, and taste so good.

Added, the broth was goes so well with noodles which were firm to my liking.

The pork slides were tender with a smoky flavor. It had a nice smokey aroma and was seasoned perfectly. Mostly thick cut of the lean meat and not the normal pork slides that we ate in Tokyo.

While the extra added topping, ramen egg was so fabulous. It was with glorious runny egg yolk, and probably the best-cooked ramen egg that I ate before! Simply amazing!

As above, the miso ramen was so delicious, went perfectly with a cold beer.

Kanawaza Best Ramen

All in all, it was an enjoyable meal in Menya Taiga. This tiny ramen restaurant made some of the best ramen I’ve had in the central Chubu region. The food is simple but tasty and extremely good value for money. Do come try if you are anywhere near. The squid ink version looked pretty cool, although I ordered the original version. Probably this will be one of the reason i come back to Kanazawa for next visit. But no matter what you pick, it’s incredible.

Definitely one of the more memorable ramen experiences I’ve had. The shop opens late until 11 pm, perfectly fit into any schedule when you’re visiting Kanazawa and looking for what to eat here.
