Alter Fuchs

Salzburg


This sly old fox prides itself on no-nonsense Austrian fare – schnitzel, roast pork with dumplings, cordon bleu and the like. Bandana-clad foxes guard the bar in the vaulted interior, and there’s a courtyard for good-weather dining. In the cosy Stube (parlour) out back, scribbling on the walls (chalk only, please) is positively encouraged. Service can be hit or miss.
