Thank you for your awesome review. Salzburg is beautiful and the mountains stunning. St Peter's restaurant was amazing and I really enjoyed the dishes you had. Looking forward to more
That looked like an amazing day! Climbing the hill, seeing the beautiful views and animals and then eating in the oldest restaurant in Europe! 🤯 That place looked so cool! The price was very reasonable.
Hi James, Thank you for your review St Peter’s. I can’t emphasize enough how absolutely beautiful and historical this site is. Imagine from 803 AD! And the food appears to be incredible as well. All I can say is that you continue to provide eye candy for my soul and stomach. Have a wonderful evening, Peter
Thanks James that was absolutely beautiful the countryside just unbelievable what a great trip to go the food look amazing I just see why you enjoyed it
What an amazing place, your meal looks wonderful. Lol love the great recovery from the dropped beef 👍😆. What a great experience this would be! Mmmm!! Streudel 😋. Thank you for sharing this great adventure 👍
Great find! Gorgeous restaurant and now you have me jonesing for apple strudel (damn it..) Loving the international episodes and especally Austria. I can tell this won't be your last visit there. Looking to get there next year can't wait!!!!
Immediately adding to my bucket list! Pleasantly surprised and really appreciate that the restaurant chooses to modernize its menu and decor, which definitely gives it a unique character.
Once again, you have provided your viewers with an intimate & personalized dining opportunity within those truly historical restaurant walls & the delightful scenic splendor of Salzburg. What more can I ask since I truly feel that I had joined you for this amazing meal. And of "boiled beef" no less, Emperor Franz Josef's favorite meal. Again, thank you for sharing! This is Peter M; out!
Hi James, wow beautiful location, the food looks simply amazing, hope it was very tasty and pleasant! Wish I was there looks like a beautiful peaceful place. Looking forward to your next vlog.. Jose P.
Hello James, you did well, my friend ! You have become our Cicerone, our Dragoman, through the mazes of the exotique ! I know, I know, we're talking Salzburg not Marrakesh, but I'm like a Hobbit when it comes to travel. I won't do it unless Gandalf tells me to. Apple Strudel ! Is there anything better ? Uhhhh...maybe Crepe Suzzette. Hey, I made Tafelspitz last year. Followed the recipe of one of your countrymen who still keeps the Austrian home fires burning. Delicious ! It's amazing how burnt onion halves flavor the broth ! Thank you for showing us the wonders of Salzburg - after the tourists have gone ! Thank you & All the best !
Hey James. Fyi. Great background music for this venue. Background music may be rarely mentioned but it adds to the total enjoyment of the video graph y. Looks like yu had a great trip to Austria.
James; I love Salzburg & the surrounding region! First visited in 1979 & ate at this restaurant in the winter of 1979 or 1980! Did a lot of skiing Great video😅
Great review! 👏🏼 I think they should maybe capitalise more on it being the “oldest restaurant” because the overly contemporary decor seems to conflict with the roots of the restaurant. For example here in England, UK we have a lot of historic places and for example a place not far from me they hold medieval banquets, and the decor is suited to that and the age of the building. I think they could boost their interest even more to lean into its history, as thats what people are interested in when coming to a piece of know for being the “oldest”, not just the food alone, but the overall aesthetic, to imagine what it was like back then. I’m sure they still get lots of custom, but thats just my humble opinion😊. The place outside looked so beautiful to wonder around, and just enjoy. So glad you are having a wonderful time!😊☀️💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! Yeah, I know what you mean. I heard about it because it was the "oldest" restaurant, which was my main motivator for going. Fortunately, the food turned out good too.
It looks like your having a great time but I wouldn't brag to much. I think I had the oldest bag of vending machine chips today. Its nice you are able to maintain your production quality while abroad.
Looked like a solid dinner, at the same time, felt like a Disneyfied Refurbishment to an old building. Though. I wonder what would it have looked like in 803AD? Or even 1000 AD? I wonder how many times the renovated the restaurant, and if the original chef would recognize the place today
As always this video was Fabulous. Even the soup. A question, Was your server a tip employee?? Just wondering what it's like in Europe. Thanks from San Diego.🌴
It's common to round up to the nearest round number, you might tip up to 10% if it was really good. You're never going to tip 20% or above and the staff aren't going to get sniffy if you only leave a little. I often pay with notes, saying "Stimmt schon" (It's already right), meaning whatever is left is the Trinkgeld (i.e. tip). For more casual places you can just leave a few coins when you leave too.
There is also the oldest hotel in the world, Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in Japan, which was founded in 705 AD. The hotel was founded by Fujiwara Mahito during the Keiun era (704-708). It's been passed down through 53 generations of the same family.
You missed the daily Mozart Dinner Concerts, which are performed in the restaurants Baroque Hall. Rather than red wine, I highly recommend a glass of Calvados with your apple strudel. That courtyard at Christmastime is magical!
Yeah, I didn't know about the concerts until after I went to the restaurant. It was sort of a spontaneous visit. Yeah, Calvados would've been nice, but nevertheless, I was still happy with my wine.
Sobrino de Botin in Madrid was what I thought was the oldest, but this is apparently far older. I suppose the distinction is that Sobrino de Botin is the oldest "continuously operating," while St. Peter Stiftskulinarium was in and out of operation.
No No No. Sobrino De Botin in Madrid is the oldest restaurant. ALL the others have moved or had breaks in service. Stiftskulinarium was built as a monastery, but is the oldest building a restaurant has been situated in. They are however both excellent hostelries and we are lucky to have feasted there. 😃
I was going to protest, because Den Gyldene Freden in Stockholm, Sweden, opened three years opened three years before Sobrino de Botín and is still in the same place, with the same name. But Freden was closed for four years during the late 1800s, that's true. Either way, it really is quite fascinating to see and visit places with so much history to them.
The wonderful French film, Délicieux, purports to be about the world's first ever restaurant in 1789. I guess they got it wrong since 803 is a lot older.
Yeah, sometimes it depends on what your measuring because Sobrino de Botín in Spain is officially the world's oldest restaurant (that has continuously been open). While St. Peter is far older, it has had periods where it wasn't active.
You didn't say Stiftskeller that wrong, just broke the syllables in the wrong place :) Stifts- Keller. The Stift- relates to the abbey, Keller means cellar; the -s gets added because it's genitive, the Keller belongs to the Stift. German word formation is pretty logical once you get used to it. To a British ear, your pronunciation of caramel was more off ;) Looks like the restaurant was better off sticking to the classics rather than trying to modernise them.
That's true in the sense that it's the world's oldest restaurant that has remained continuously opened. St. Peter on the other hand may be far older, but it has closed during periods.
Looks pretty amazing. That having said, I really can't appreciate serving wine in such measured quantities and if you _really_ have to: besides Champagne, a bottle of wine serves 6 glasses, a.k.a. 75 cl / 6 = 12.5 cl per glass. if you really want to be so precise, which is annoying in a gastronomic context, at least serve a standard glass of wine. 0.1 l glasses of wine is just stingy and communicates you as a guest are foremost there to provide money. A very unwelcoming gesture!
I know what you mean. Unfortunately, it seems like most restaurants that I went to in Austria abided by these small pours. At least it was more affordable than what I'm used to in NYC.
I really dislike historical locations being vandalised with modern art and furnishings. It feels like scribbling with crayons over fine art, just gross and arrogant.
I see both points but it's great to see it being used to enjoy the environment instead of just walking through like a museum and use it like it was intended and not just so walk through visual pleaser
But I do wish the decor matched the environment and not pop out like a eyesore. Not saying that it looked bad but something that complements the historicness of it
@@jivvilgyasi3007 It wasn't meant to be. It was just a piece of advice. Dry lips and deep frown 11 lines between the eyes is usually a sign of dehydration.
I guess there were periods when they were only serving food to the monks rather than it being open to the public. So it depends on the precise definition of restaurant.

Although, I will definitely say that was the correct portion of wine lol! I would be so in love with this meal!
It was a satisfying meal for sure!
@@Jamesnu I'm definitely gonna have it on my list!
Hey James. Fyi. Great background music for this venue. Background music may be rarely mentioned but it adds to the total enjoyment of the video graph y. Looks like yu had a great trip to Austria.
Thank you! I always try to find music that pairs nicely with the video. I definitely had a great time in Austria!
One of the places I sadly didn’t see but I know of it. Excellent reporting. Btw good choice for the second glass of wine.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Love watching your videos! I live in Forest Hills if you ever want a tour of Austin St :)
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Interesting place. Be nice to eat there.
Safe Journey!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!

Thank you! That's great! I agree, it's an amazing area!
Que lugar increíble, disfrute mi hermano!
Thank you!
The dessert stole the show. What a amazing space and interesting history. What a country. enjoy.
It was a good dessert for sure!
This place looks magical. I like mixing the old with the new.
Indeed! It was an interesting mix!
Love your work.
Thank you!
the fuzzy chairs are an interesting choice
Yeah, they were comfy at least.
Very nice video, sir.
Thank you!
Kinda weird decor... but awesome video and too cool...great video!!!!!!
@@cplandwine Thank you!
Hi James, Those are some weak pours. Love your channel.
Thank you! Yeah, I agree about the pours.
Fascinating.
It was definitely an interesting restaurant!
You got a subscription just because you ate that piece which fell on your lap. I would have done the same thing
Haha! Thanks! I appreciate it!

Finally you are out of NYC...Hooray...
It's always nice to go on a trip.
How was the "schlag" (short for Schlagsahne, I'm pretty sure) compared to Peter Luger's? Great video - thanks!
Thank you! The schlag was pretty good, but I still think that Peter Luger's was better. Plus, Luger's gives a far larger portion size.
thxing for review sir
Thanks for watching!

That apple strudel looks quite tasty.
It was a good dessert for sure!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 head bobbing after every bite
That food looks great ! It’s hard to believe it’s the world oldest restaurant.
Definitely! I know what you mean.
living the dream
I'm definitely thankful for that trip!
James taking us on a fancy dinner date again 🙌🏻🤌🏻 lol
Thanks for watching!
Ha! If you drop it on the floor,leave it. But on the napkin in your lap? Go for it! 🎉
Definitely!
Looks very good! Now, if I get a cent for each restaurant that is the "oldest"...hehe
Haha! I know what you mean.

That's exactly right!
I'm thinking of Schultz and LeBeau.

The food looks great and so does the grotto but why the umbrellas and kitsch decorations? ... and those straw mats under your plate are never washed.
Yeah, the decor was a bit perplexing, but the food was great!
In Salzburg I’ve had the best burger in Europe 😅: Burgerista
Nice! I heard about that spot.
Gotta admit ... you always finish your food, even if you don't like it.
2.
That steak was too well-done for you. 😊😎
@cliffgaither I hate wasting food. That wasn't a steak though, and I thought that it was cooked perfectly.
@Jamesnu ::
It definitely looked perfect.
They served who? Faust is a fictional character from a book by Goethe.
He's not fictional. Goethe based his character on Johann Georg Faust, a real person, that has become a sort of legend.
The wonderful French film, Délicieux, purports to be about the world's first ever restaurant in 1789. I guess they got it wrong since 803 is a lot older.
Yeah, sometimes it depends on what your measuring because Sobrino de Botín in Spain is officially the world's oldest restaurant (that has continuously been open). While St. Peter is far older, it has had periods where it wasn't active.
How many buildings built in the last 100 years would last for 1,000? Very few
They don't make things like they used to.
haha california rolls and avocado toast
Very quirky. I wonder how the locals view this restaurant. I am also surprised at what looks like a 2 ounce pour for your wine.
Yeah, the servings of wine are unfortunately a bit more minimal there.
How was that beef there really? Looked a bit chewey in the video to be honest...
It was really tender. If it was chewy, I would've mentioned it.
I appreciate your honest reviews. Personally your meal looked quite unappealing…
Thank you! Fair enough, but I really enjoyed eating it.
It looks to me more like the newest restaurant in Europe
Haha! I know what you mean!
You sure get around, don't you?
Traveling is one of my favorite things!
You didn't say Stiftskeller that wrong, just broke the syllables in the wrong place :) Stifts- Keller.

Thank you! I appreciate the explanation.
I thought the oldest restaurant in the world was in Spain?
That's true in the sense that it's the world's oldest restaurant that has remained continuously opened. St. Peter on the other hand may be far older, but it has closed during periods.
@@Jamesnu Didn't know that. Thanks

I can literally look right into your soul.
Take it easy, man. Otherwise great video.
If my health was better I'd be in Madrid
I lived in Vienna, and "Tafel-Spitz" was a key entre. It is better than this.
I wish that I had more time in the country to try additional versions of the dish.
Weird Mexican vibe.
Yeah, I definitely got that from the placemats.
@@Jamesnu you’re being charitable with your review. Food looks unappetizing.
Oh we're globe trotting again! Just kicked off watching on my PS4 You Tube. Wow the views.

I guess there were periods when they were only serving food to the monks rather than it being open to the public. So it depends on the precise definition of restaurant.
@@mosmarb This makes much sense!
Charlemagne 748 - 814. Emperor of the Carolingian Empire, are documented to have been there and dinning.
Sorry, but $100 for that is overpriced. Mediocre quality and presentation. So many other great restaurants in austria than this.
