Historic brewery and restaurant in Salzburg serving house-brewed wheat beers since 1901. Traditional Austrian dishes pair perfectly with fresh beer. Large beer garden popular in summer. Authentic local atmosphere.
Die Weisse is a historic brewery and restaurant in Salzburg that has brewed its own wheat beer since 1901, and the house Weissbier remains the main reason visitors seek it out. The kitchen serves traditional Austrian dishes designed to pair with the beer, with pork knuckle as a standout, hearty main alongside other classic gasthaus fare, all served in generous portions typical of a brewery restaurant. The setting includes both an indoor dining room, with a rustic, functional brewery-tavern character, and a large beer garden that becomes the main draw in warmer months, filling with locals and visitors enjoying fresh beer under the open air. The atmosphere is lively and informal rather than refined, and the restaurant draws a loyal local following in addition to visitors who come specifically to sample the wheat beer. Long opening hours into the evening make it suitable for both a late lunch and an extended dinner. No reservations are needed for casual dining, though the beer garden can fill quickly on warm evenings.
