The house and the menu
The Bärenwirt is a centuries-old tavern in Mülln, in the shadow of the district church and near the Salzach. Its current owners set out to serve the best Backhendl in Austria, the breaded fried chicken that is the country's Sunday dish, and spent weeks trying chicken, breadcrumbs, oils and timings until they found their own. The rest of the menu is tavern cooking: veal goulash, Kasnocken (cheese dumplings), Bauernschmaus and some enormous Semmelknödel. From the grill, pork loin and medallions. Salzburger Nockerl, the city's soufflé, are made to order.
The beer is Augustiner, from the brewery next door, and also Puntigamer from Styria. The house says mains cost between €20 and €30, that there are dishes under €20 and that portions are large. There are vegetarian and vegan options, high chairs and children's chairs.
How to book
Always book: the house strongly recommends it, online from its website. The kitchen is open from 11:30 to 14:00 and from 17:30 to 21:30; in between there is a short menu. The same owners open a second Bärenwirt in summer on the Waagplatz, beside Mozartplatz, which is wheelchair accessible; the one in Mülln is not.
What to order: the Backhendl, the house's breaded chicken, and for dessert the Salzburger Nockerl if they have them that day.
