The Shrimp Salad and Caesar salad were excellent. Breakfast would have been better than lunch.

The most amazing lemonade, and pancakes I’ve ever eaten. It was truly a great experience with a beautiful view. The waiters were also super kind, and true professionals, they really attend the guests. It was a pleasant experience.

We had the chocolate mousse and the tiramisu eclair along with coffee, it was divine and heavenly. The prices are high but worth every penny and worth eating here once if in Salzburg. The place is amazing and free to see the museum called Hangar - 7 This is the lounge cafe which has breakfast options as well and cakes and coffee. Loved it

Tried our luck and the nice waiter gave us seats at the bar. Had a tray of salty and a tray of sweet. Drinks were red bull winter edition, hot chocolate, tea and lemonade. To keep things short, it was well worth the money. Everything is . I do prefer the salty tray more.

Came for the breakfast and got their savory set. Comes with prosecco and a coffee. Overall I think it's worth a visit here especially when combo with the hanger. Why 4 stars and not 5? For one, there were two flies pestering me throughout the meal which I didn't think fit the setting, and they also didn't explain the beautifully set out tray. Either write it in the menu, or the waitress should explain it. I had to guess what was what which was admittedly disappointing.

Get there for breakfast, before 11:30am as the two options available are fantastic servings of food and drink. Salty is the savoury option with plates loaded with different tastes and textures. Sweet is the option with fruit , cakes, waffles, yogurt, cereal etc. To go along with them choose the hot chocolate. It comes as hot milk with a side dish of chocolate, dark or milk, which needs to be stirred in the hot milk to melt, so it is real hot chocolate. There are choices of lemonade too included. If you are so inclined then have a champagne breakfast. We had both salty and sweet and could barely finish it. € 70 for all of that, really good value. The service was also exceptional from entrance to exit. Everything was explained, what was included on the plates, how it works, the options etc. Housekeeping was performed regularly so the place is really clean despite being busy. You can book either 9am or 10:30am otherwise just turn up and hope they have a table. You also get a good view of the Red Bull cars and planes. We went twice during our 10 day holiday.
