Live music in the restaurant: according to the official association of concert venues, the Piaristenkeller is Austria's oldest formally recognized restaurant cum concert venue with live music. This 100-year-old tradition is continued to this day – usually at weekends – with fine food served to the sound of zither music and Viennese songs.

Classical dishes monastery and viennese cuisine:

Specialities from the monastery kitchen popular with our regular patrons include young catfish - traditionally served with white rice and buttered vegetables (EUR 24,50) - see also the photo to the side or the released fried chicken with 2 large juicy legs of premium chicken with potato bird salad (€ 24.50). This may be followed by baked apple slices with whipped cream, apricot jam and vanilla ice cream (EUR 9.50).

The menu is based on the 300-year history of the monastery, starting from the baroque era of Mozart's time to highlights of the festive menu commemorating the 160th anniversary of the wedding of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth.

The festive menu created to mark the 160th anniversary of the marriage of the imperial couple on 24 April 1854 includes Ischl lamb saddle fillet (EUR 32.50) and to the dessert the Honey-Walnut-Parfait with berries € 13,50
