The house
The Stiftskulinarium is in the courtyard of St Peter's Abbey, next to the church, between the cemetery and the Festspielhaus. It claims to be the oldest restaurant in Europe: it says it has fed people under these vaults since the year 803. It has been run for more than thirty years by Veronika Kirchmair and Claus Haslauer, and the 2027 Gault&Millau guide has given it three toques.
The restaurant, Peter, mixes Austrian cooking with Mediterranean lightness, with a menu, a meat menu, a cheese menu and a wine list, and a surprise menu of seasonal produce. In the Barockssaal the Mozart Dinner is held, a dinner with Mozart's music in the style of those of his day, and the Richardstube works as a drinks lounge. In December the courtyard and rooms are decorated for Christmas.
Booking and getting there
It is open every day from 12:30 to 23:00. Book on its website, by telephone or by email. If you are driving, leave the car at the Altstadtgarage Mitte, under the Mönchsberg, Toscaninihof or Festspielhäuser exit: you are two or three minutes' walk away.
What to order: the surprise menu at the Peter restaurant, or the Mozart Dinner with a concert if you want music.
