**Two forks, 2.5 spoons, a bottle of wine -

and a chef who does everything himself:
Why "Stefans im Schlossbauer" is currently the talk of the town**

Hallein / Altdorf Castle.
A single chef, a historic castle and a clear attitude - the restaurant "Stefans im Schlossbauer" is currently attracting attention in the Salzburg culinary landscape. Falstaff (2 forks), Schlemmeratlas (2.5 cooking spoons) and A la Carte (1 wine bottle) have already awarded the concept.

What is special about it?
Stefan Buhk cooks alone. Every plate. Every day.

Bucking the trend - and that's exactly why he's successful

While many businesses rely on large teams and standardized processes, Buhk deliberately goes the other way. His restaurant does not have an anonymous kitchen team, but a clear signature.

"I never wanted a loud restaurant. I wanted an honest one," says Buhk.
"When I put something on the plate, I know exactly why."

This attitude not only convinces guests, but also critics.

Palatinate origin meets Salzburg product

The cuisine combines Palatinate roots, influences from Alsace and products from the Salzburg region. Classics are interpreted in a modern way, dishes are deliberately reduced - always with a focus on taste, craftsmanship and origin.

The restaurant has also been awarded the "Gut zu wissen" certificate from the Chamber of Agriculture - a clear commitment to regionality, transparency and quality.

A restaurant with character - not a modular concept

"Stefans im Schlossbauer" is not a typical fine dining restaurant.
It is a culinary alternative:

few tables

full attention for the guest

a chef who takes responsibility - from shopping to the last plate

The historic ambience of Altdorf Castle provides a calm, elegant setting for a modern world of indulgence with soul.
