The Green Garden

Went here for my 27th birthday and it was quite empty, the waiter was friendly and helpful. I had the butter chicken which was not what I expected or tasted before, more spiced rather than creamy. Very sweetly, they gave a chocolate cake on the house for the birthday 😊

Just might be the best vegan food I've ever had... The sauce on the summer rolls is exquisite, and the butter "chicken" is supreme. 10/10, this place makes me want to move to Salzburg — a must visit for vegan/vegetarian/plant based food for everyone.

Ordered a Buddha bowl , lentil soup and pizza at this charming little vegan restaurant.The food was very flavoursome. The dishes did not disappoint. The food was served by a lovely person who made extra effort to customise the dishes to our special dietary requirements. Can't thank her enough for her kindness. We will be back again when we visit salzburg next time:-)

We recently visited Green Garden Vegan while travelling through Salzburg, and it was a fantastic dining experience! We tried the orange chicken and the shawarma, which were delicious. The orange chicken had a perfect balance of tangy sweetness, while the shawarma was flavorful and satisfying. What truly stood out was the kindness and helpfulness of the wait staff. They were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant's cozy and welcoming ambiance makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Green Garden Vegan is worth visiting if you’re looking for tasty vegan options with excellent service!

Great place to dine out at the heart of Salzburg, with a nice decor and a cosy upbeat vibe. We had a delicious aubergine curry and the Buddha bowl. Would definitely come back.

We heard from hotel staff this was a good restaurant, even though they were non- vegan. Quick summary: 4 of us went in hungry, ordered differently, and came out extremely sated/satisfied. Daria (the server) was lovely, patient, and guiding. Great food, sweet presentation, and reasonably priced. Couldn’t have been happier! Thank you, Daria and The Green Garden.

Waited for the food for 45 minutes and only one of three dishes were good enough. The burger was very basic and overpriced. The curry barely had any vegan chicken in there, mainly rice and the sauce. The Shawarma was okay with lots of veggies. The service was average. In general, won’t go back and won’t recommend this place. Not worth the money.

What a sweet little place with a super bright and friendly interior. Staff was also super friendly and helpful with the dishes. I had a slightly spicy thai dish with rice and soy and a soy based chicken style meat alternative, served with loads of greens and basil. First I thought the dish was a bit small, but when I finished eating it, I was actually not hungry anymore. As a dessert I had a raspberry crumble with vanilla pudding. Unfortunately they ran out of the crumble, so they agreed on serving it with vegan granola instead, which was totally fine. The raspberry compote harmonised so well with the vanilla pudding. Really yummy 😋

Best Vegan food in Salzburg. Hands down. The best bite was the truffle mushroom, avocado risotto. The spring rolls were tasty. 3 per serving made it perfect for the 3 of us.

Amazing. As a tourist, I've been eating a lot of carbs/meat and not enough greens. Luckily, Salzburg has this hidden gem, not in the main area of the town but worth the walk. My travel companion Sherry and I arrived around 6 on a Friday night and were seated immediately. The restaurant interior was really nice and calm, and it had a creative garden theme with white/green colors and small fences surrounding the tables. The kind servers gave us cups with a jug of water and the menu - the last 2 pages are in English. For appetizers, we ordered the Wild Herb Salad with Deep Fried Egg. Presentation was beautiful (orange flower petals for color accent, if you're a fan of visuals/plating) and the salad was really refreshing. I loved how we could taste every ingredient put in. Sherry didn't like the bitterness of one of the herbs, but I liked how it contrasts with the sweet/tangy dressing. The egg was interesting - the inside was perfectly soft boiled and the breading gave it a savory flavor. For our main dish, we shared the Eggplant Curry with Quinoa and Yogurt. I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this worked! Surprisingly, it tasted close to Japanese curry than Indian curry. Everything about this was good, though I wished they didn't put in pomegranate seeds. Overall, I'd definitely give this 5 stars! Great service, soothing atmosphere, and yummy and healthy food. If I had stayed in Salzburg longer, I would come back and try more dishes! ***Yelp 100 Challenge 2017 (70/100)

My friend and I had a great dinner here when traveling in Salzburg! As we walked into the restaurant, the waiter was bringing out plates of delicious-looking food to a nearby table. We arrived at 7 and the restaurant was pretty busy, the server told us when we sat down that it may be a minute until he could take our order. That was fine with us, as we were just glad to sit down & would be willing to wait as the food looked so delicious! We were happy to find that they had an English version of the menu both ordered the veggie burger with roasted potato wedges- and our food was brought out within 30 minutes, so it wasn't a bad wait at all! The veg burger was SO good and really hit the spot after a day of hiking in Salzburg. I believe the adjacent ice cream shop is their business as well- we would have stopped if there was any room left in our stomachs! Definitely would recommend The Green Garden to any veggie lovers in Austria!

Even if you're not vegan, you will love the food here so much you won't even miss the meat and byproduct! All ingredients are fresh and food is seasoned exceptionally well. The menu is seasonal, but if you get a chance to have the homemade pasta you shouldn't hesitate. The restaurant itself feels like it is built into a cellar and there are plenty of plants and shabby-chic touches that make the space really endearing. Our service was excellent and they were very helpful in making suggestions. Reservations are recommended.

So so tasty! Be sure to make a reservation just to play it safe. The staff were totally friendly. I'm vegan and I loved the risotto. The Pak Choy was good but it was a bit too rich for my palette. Portions seem small but they are super filling. It's a higher priced place but the food is worth it. Also, I recommend the Prosecco.

The Green Garden in Salzburg Austria is a Vegan - Vegetarian eatery. It was on our "must eat there" list for a few months. We started by sharing the "Vegan Fritattensuppe" which is a typical Austrian pancake soup. The soup was outstanding! It came served in a black bowl which made it very visually appealing because of the clear broth. Every ingredient was visible and inviting. Who doesn't like visually appealing meals LOL... My entrée was the "Flammkuchen" which is a Tarte flambée topped with zucchini, pears, spinach and camembert (soft French grated cheese). To me it was basically a delectable flatbread topped with goodies that were all organic and fresh. It was excellent! After running through the Bavarian Alps eating heavy traditional Austrian foods, this was a delightful light meal that hit the spot! As we ate, the owner Julia Platzer introduced herself and we immediately engaged her in conversation. Her restaurant has been in operation for 4 years after much planning. She had to seek permission from the locals to open her eatery and it has grown it to a 5-star gastronomic experience that is worth seeking out. She is going to be featured on a syndicated television restaurant series highlighting exemplary chefs and restaurants. Julia also opened a dessert store front just two doors down. Featuring some "healthier" choice gelatos like a muesli blend... She insisted we visit her other storefront after our meal. Then fed us wonderful complimentary gelatos that seemed to have no end LOL!!! We were stuffed, content and extremely pleased with our "must eat there" choice. We even got to peek into the kitchen and meet most of the staff.

This was such a find! It was packed on a Wednesday night but they squeezed us in before a reservation. The food is heavenly and made with love. The presentation was spectacular and the flavor combinations were unique and tasty. Perfect spot for a meal. My favorite meal in Salzburg!

Service: Friendly staff, most of which speak English and were more than happy to help with the menu / general questions. The food was excellent! Even more so, it was a refreshing change of pace to find such a good vegetarian spot in the heart of a country that loves their carbs and meat. All the ingredients were extremely fresh and tasty. The menu was fairly limited in its offerings but still has plenty to choose from. Location: Located on a small side street away from the touristy parts of old town, it has a much more local feel. Albeit it can be a little hard to find at first.

Awesome!!! I can't go without meat. But this honestly convinced me that vegetarian can be very tasty and fantastic food Its a little pricey maybe. But the quality is so high that the prices are easily justified! Try it!

Really good food, friendly staff. We will be coming back for sure! As to the menu: we had asparagus, Asian bowl as starters and Bok Choy with tofu and risotto. All delicious and generous portions.

I'm not a vegetarian but I was absolutely blown away by this place. The food was absolutely incredible! The staff was very kind and made room for me even when they were fully booked and I did not have a reservation. I definitely want to visit this place again and have it bookmarked for any future visits to Salzburg.

I really liked this place. The food was really good and the staff was super nice. I wish I had the chance to try more dishes.

I desperately needed a green lunch after feeling like I've eaten one too many meals that aren't veggie centric. The Buddha bowl I ordered tasted as beautiful as it looks in the picture. The pomegranate seed were a nice touch. Even if you aren't a vegan/vegetarian (I'm not!), you'll enjoy anything you order here. The veggie burger and wraps at other tables looked tasty. The only reason I gave this place four stars is because I thought it was a hint pricey. Don't let this deter you! The quality of food is top notch.

My husband and I visited The Green Garden on our vacation to Salzburg. We went on a Wednesday night and they were booked! However, they graciously made room for us at their counter. Thankfully, the staff spoke English (sadly we have not picked up German). They were very helpful and kind. Their food, although not traditional Austrian cuisine, was refreshing. I had the veggie burger and sweet potato fries with coriander sauce - both were excellent! This restaurant prides itself on vegan/veggie cuisine and they definitely make it tasty! Thanks for the great meal in Salzburg!

A veg restaurant, cafe and ice cream place all on the same strip! Very wonderful. We sat at the patio and got the pea and mint soup ( of the hook good) the other soup ( forgot the name in German) the veggie falafel burger ( great) the hummus wrap ( delicious) and two iced teas ( so refreshing). The service was so so friendly but it took a long time for the food to come out ( that's ok ) We wanted to go right next-door to the Vegan ice cream shop but we just didn't have enough room. We were stuffed. Over all a great place/experience. Will be back.

We only had time for two meals in Salzburg (dinner and then breakfast the next day) and we made sure to have both of them at The Green Garden! :) For dinner we got the Buddha bowl and the lentil veggie burger. They were really, truly wonderful, but the meal I'll be dreaming about for years was the vegan breakfast combo platter. O. M. G. There was an incredible variety of options that came with this platter... from the sweet to the savory to the fresh off/on the vine. I'm posting a picture since there's just too much goodness to try to describe it all. :) Also, the ginger, lemon tea was SO good and really hit the spot. :)

Delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant even for non vegetarians. Cute small place with a nice interior and some outside tables near the university. If you're staying in the old part of town it's a quick walk through some of the less touristy streets. We were told to get reservations on a Wednesday (and were given the impression on the phone that we're getting the last table) but it was only half full at 6:30pm when we arrived. Both regular pasta and wheat free pasta were great with friendly staff.

So, I've been here before, about a year ago and even though I adore vegan cuisine I wasn't impressed last time, the food was okay but I've had better. But I decided to give it a second chance because I was rather convinced that I just didn't order the right thing.. We booked a table for dinner and were even able to sit outside (their outdoor seating area is really nice because Nonntal, the district where it's located is super pretty, so make sure you can sit outside if the weather allows it), as an appetizer my friend and I shared tempura-aspargus, served with two kinds of dips one of them being a strawberry-mint one and it worked unexpectedly well with the vegetable. We both ordered the eggplant-hummus pizza and they told us that it would take a little longer since they have quite a few pizza orders in and not that much space in the oven which is totally understandable since they aren't a pizza place or an italian restaurant... A big thumbs up for service and hospitality because they brought out a little amuse bouche after the appetizer to make up for the long wait for the pizza. A lemon/basil sorbet in prosecco, oh my so good! The pizza itself was good, a little too much hummus, but nevertheless delicious and we finished all of it. All in all great service, good food and definitely an enrichment for Salzburg's restaurant scene, it's great to see some diversity between all the Austrian and Italian restaurants!

This is the worst and rudest vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to (and I have been to over a hundred in my life), not because of the extremely limited menu with very overpriced food, but because of their arrogance and schicki micki rudeness! Stay far away from this pernicious, pretentious, overpriced excuse for a restaurant! The owner is a rude, neurotic, arrogant, rich elitist woman who was so mean to me that I walked out after having been scolded for 'always making troubles', when I had only eaten there just twice before and had only asked during those 3 visits if: 1) I could sit at the bar to eat dinner in one of the 3 empty chairs at the bar, since all the tables were taken, 2) they could replace the falafel in a Buddha Bowl with tofu and 3) if the owner could ask a careless smoker who was smoking in my face outside in the outdoor sitting area while I was eating not to smoke next to me or all the other nonsmokers there who care about their lungs not being polluted, but to go somewhere away from the restaurant outdoor dining area to smoke and then to come back when they are done. She said that they have the right to smoke there. I said that it is her restaurant, and that since this is a vegetarian restaurant for people who care about their health, that she has the power to ask people not to smoke in the outdoor sitting area if others like me are there who don't wish to get lung cancer disgusting smoke in their lungs when they come to eat healthy food! She only looked at me like I was a nuisance. I will never go back there! The last time I was there, she tried to convince me when all the tables were taken, that I could only sit at one of the 3 empty seats at the bar if the one man who was sitting there alone at the bar next to the 3 empty chairs at the bar approved it. First of all, the man at the bar sitting alone with 3 empty chairs next to him was a friendly hippie vegetarian guy (I am also an older friendly hippie guy of age 59) who obviously likes company and wouldn't dream of objecting to anyone sitting near to him in one of the 3 remaining empty chairs at the bar! I have worked in many hippie vegetarian restaurants in my life and the bar is always for the overflow people when the tables are full or for single people who might prefer to sit next to other people at the bar rather than eating alone. I have never heard of any bar which requires the permission of the people or person sitting at the bar to allow any new person or people walking in to sit near them at the bar. I couldn't believe my ears when I was told by the owner that I needed the permission from the cool hippie guy sitting all alone at the bar surrounded by 3 empty chairs before I could sit also at the bar to eat dinner. He obviously said it was fine with him. But when I tried to explain how rude it was not to simply let me sit at the bar without the permission of the man sitting at the bar, the owner barely let me explain how rude and arrogant and ridiculous this policy is before she told me that I was always causing problems. Again I couldn't believe she could treat a paying customer like this. The only things that I had done in my previous two visits was to ask if I could have tofu instead of falafel in one of the menu items like the wrap or the Buddha bowl. She claimed the last time that they couldn't give me tofu, because they didn't have enough, which was an obvious lie. What kind of vegetarian restaurant doesn't have enough tofu in stock? I also asked once when another customer was smoking outside at one of the tables if the owner could ask them not to smoke. Nobody else was smoking, and for health conscious vegetarians, this is a No go to eat next to ignorant smokers blowing smoke in your face. So she refused to ask them not to smoke. So she runs a smoker friendly restaurant and acts like it is a private club for rich people. Hippie vegetarians will not feel at home here! Stay away from here and go to Spicy Spices or Gustav or Everest restaurant instead where they are friendlier to not rich hippie vegetarian types like me.

This is the place to go in Salzburg. True and tasty Veggie menu. I got the risotto - worthwhile a detour. This gem is Giddens in a non tourist residential areal. Do make a reservation as seats are limited.

There is no better vegetarian / vegan place than this one! Try and you will love the food.

Must go place for vegetarians in Salzburg. The food was delicious, presentation was rich and portion size decent. The server, the owner/chef were very friendly. Excellent experience - will visit again!

Suberb food; friendly service. We had the spring rolls, asparagus risotto and falafel wrap. All three were bursting with flavors and had the right balance of sweet, salt and acid. The risotto was the standout for us. Al dente, savory, and creamy risotto played a supporting role for the perfectly prepared asparagus that was and should be the star. The falafel wraps included creamy avocado that pairs well with the grainy texture of the falafel core. The fresh spinach and julienne carrot salad that accompanied the wraps was irresistible, even after we were quite full. We'll be back as often as we can fit it into our schedule so we can tour the menu.

Excellent vegan place! Interesting cocktails, wonderful pasta, amazing soup! You must try! And I am not a vegan!!!

Amazing food and very friendly and attentive staff! I highly recommend and make it a point to eat at least once each of my visits to Salzburg.

I really like this place. Not too crowded and in the centre of Salzburg. I ordered a burger and my friend a Salad (with cashew dumplings? I guess) His was nice but my burger was very good. I really really like the fries there, with rosemary. Fantastic. The burger with fries was about 8 Euro (?) thats fair considering that Salzburg is generally an expensive town. I admit that I expected a bit more, the bathroom wasn't really good and somehow outside the restaurant but not a problem. The waiter was very kind. Location is more than good. I would go there again and recommend the place to really anyone.

We were so thankful to find this restaurant! After the a couple of nights of heavy Austrian food, we finely found a fresh and healthy vegetarian restaurant. Not only was the food delicious, the staff, Jennifer and Bernd, were extremely kind, friendly and attentive. This restaurant is a short walk from Old Town. It's a popular restaurant so you may want to call ahead. If you like delicious, fresh food, you need to try this restaurant!

What a lovely find! The host managed to fit us in on a busy Saturday evening. Their Sauvignon Blanc was the best I've had on this trip. The lemongrass soup was just what the doctor ordered (I have a cold) and the risotto was firm and savory! This is just a delightful little restaurant in a quaint section of this beautiful city.
