Cafe Bazar is, along with Café Tomaselli, a classic Viennese coffeehouse. In the summer months, the combination of its wonderful terrace and its spectacular location on the banks of Salzach River mean brisk business for this cafe - it can be a bit of a challenge to get a seat. Yet in winter as well as summer, this elegant, spacious, high-ceiling coffeehouse is a haunt of students, actors, celebrities, shoppers, Salzburg's elderly and the city's intellectuals. Naturally, a huge range of national and international newspapers are available daily. If the waiter is in some way unfriendly, relax, it's part of the experience.
Together with the Müllner Bräustübl and the StieglKeller, this is one of the most popular beer gardens in town, especially for those with a penchant for Weissbier (white beer). In the summer months plenty of people drop by for an after-work drink and a bite to eat (goulash with noodles is especially popular). Groups should book in advance, and can even visit the historic "Small Brewery" by appointment.
In the Hotel Sacher, is an excellent cafe called Cafe Sachar. The atmosphere is elegant and weather permitting, you can sit outside and enjoy the views of the Old Town and its fortress. The cafe and the Salzachgrill which is situated in the same hotel, both offer hot meals on a daily basis. If you are here for tea, then try the house special, which is the famous 'Sacher Torte' (a chocolate cake). This can also be posted throughout the world as a present. If this sounds like a nice gift idea, then go to the Confiserie Shop around the corner, where the cakes are packed in wooden boxes and sent off.
