Good dining experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.

“Absolutely ethereal musical experience! The opera singers and musicians were superb! Good meal and tour before the concert.”
An after-hours Schönbrunn palace tour with audio guide, a classic Austrian 3-course dinner, then Mozart and Strauss in the Orangery.
“I am satisfied with the organization,and the guides were nice. The visit rithym eas damaged by some people insistance on taking photos. Great diner. I think the concert program should be available and not payed as an extra. The orchestra shoul be bigger. Its damaging for the singers performance.”
Mozart Dinner Concert in Salzburg at St. Peter Stiftskulinarium: candlelight 3-course meal and live, period-costumed Mozart performances.
“The music - both the instrumentalists and the two singers - were excellent and the programme delightful, performed with grace and good humour. The meal was adequate but not excellent, given that the restaurant where it all took place prides itself on its fine cuisine. However, it proved to be a most enjoyable evening.”
Vienna’s Prater at The Mirage, a 3-hour Johann Strauss dinner show with 20-piece orchestra, ballet, soprano, and a 4-course Austrian meal.

Schönbrunn Palace Vienna dinner and concert in the Orangery with Mozart and Strauss, plus VIP sparkling wine during intermission. 4 hours.
“This package was very nice! The meal was excellent and although drinks are out of pocket, it’s well worth it. The concert was wonderful! I highly recommend this for a nice evening. From start of dinner to end of concert, it was just under 4 hours.”
3-course dinner at Sheraton Mirabell, then chamber music in Mirabell Palace Marble Hall. Polished 4-hour Salzburg evening.
“Everything was wonderful except the dinner itself. The setting was lovely, the service excellent, but my main course (fish) was very undercooked. The server was apologetic, and they gave us a small discount on the bill (didn't charge us for sparkling water), but it was a disappointment. Otherwise, the concert - and the experience overall - was very nice.”
Candlelit Mozart opera dinner at Salzburg's 803 St. Peter restaurant. Three-course meal, period costumes, and live arias and duets in about 3 hours.
“The music and opera singing was absolutely magical. The opera singers were very engaging and entertaining. The venue was very beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was quite good too. We had a wonderful time and I would recommend this concert to anyone visiting Salzburg.”
