A steaming black iron pan of Kasnocken topped with crisp fried onions and chives sits on a pale wooden board, with the bar stools of a mountain hut behind.

Kasnocken

Salzburg's cheese spaetzle. Egg-and-flour dumplings layered with melted mountain cheese and crispy fried onions. On every mountain hut menu and most city restaurants. The Pinzgauer Kasnockn is the protected regional variant.

A hand holds a blue-foil Mozartkugel up between finger and thumb against the sunlit Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzburg Altstadt skyline.

Mozartkugel

Salzburg's most recognisable export. Pistachio marzipan around nougat, enrobed in dark chocolate. Created 1890 by Paul Furst. The Fürst family still hand-rolls the original at Alter Markt. Silver-and-blue foil. Fürst never patented it. If you buy them at a supermarket, you are not eating what Paul Fürst made.

Salzburger Nockerl

The defining dish of Salzburg. A baked soufflé of three golden peaks representing the three hills (Mönchsberg, Kapuzinerberg, Rainberg). Cloud-like texture. First documented 17th century, reputedly created for Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau's court. Never order a Nockerl if you are in a hurry.
