The famous restaurant very well known for its traditional Austrian style cooked beef was again a good experience. The service was polite, quick and competent without airs and graces. You fell very comfortable in the dignified atmosphere. All food was superb. I enjoyed this extraordinary lunch break very delighted.

One of my favourite places in Salzburg. Top service, top food. I always look forward to my next visit.

One of if not the best lobster bisque I've ever had. Doesn't matter where you are headed make a detour here and give this a try. Google randomly found this place for me and man it's a winner

Pricey but good food, wines heavily overpriced though. Service was generally good but a bit ‘stressed’. Looks like there is no sommelier... Overall, worth a stop while in Salzburg.

Service was mediocre, the food was good though even if a bit expensive

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
