Salzburg restaurants specializing in the regional cuisine offer mouthwatering puree soups that have become an essential part of the national gastronomic traditions. These soups can contain various vegetables. Local people like soups with pumpkin, potato, and broccoli. Onion and garlic are among the basic ingredients of all soups of this kind. Some cream soups are served in a bread loaf, and that makes them even more unusual. Fritattensuppe is quite an unusual variant of the first-course dish. This soup comes with freshly baked pancakes. The pancakes are sliced into thin strips and added to the transparent broth. Fritattensuppe is always served with fresh greens.
Fans of meat dishes will be pleasantly surprised in Salzburg restaurants as many of them offer interesting dishes with the game. Travelers will be able to order such delicacies as venison stew or interesting dishes with roe deer meat. When describing local meat delicacies, it would be a mistake not to mention wild duck meat. This meat has peculiar taste and aroma. Red cabbage is a typical garnish to meat dishes in many restaurants in Salzburg.
Knodel is one more popular garnish in the region. Small Knodel balls made of bread can be served together with meat to replace the traditional bread. Knodel often contains such ingredients as mushrooms, various spices or pieces of crispy fried bacon with spices. Such stuffed Knodel can be served as a separate dish.
