For many years now, SalzburgerLand has had one of the highest densities of gourmet restaurants in Austria - rightly called the land of top chefs.
The exquisite ingredients from the surrounding regions become unforgettable delights: Whether local specialities with tradition or unusual creations - here the gourmet gets his money's worth. Each region has its own gourmet scene and so true connoisseurs enjoy fresh fish directly on the lake, tender Pongau wild game (“Pongauer Wild”) with local vegetable specialities and delicious cheese creations at huts that make their own cheese (“Käsealmen“).
Austria's absolute leader has been the four-hat restaurant of the brothers Karl and Rudi Obauer in Werfen for decades. In 2012 Karl and Rudi Obauer were named chefs of the decade by "Gault&Millau". Already in 2011 the restaurant Obauer in Werfen was named "Best Restaurant in Austria". This special ranking is based on the ratings of several restaurant guides such as "Gault Millau", "A La Carte" and "Falstaff".
Another „Culinary Address“ in Pongau is the "Vitus Cooking" restaurant in the Sonnhof pampering and gourmet hotel in St. Veit.
