Stiftskeller St. Peter is located next to St. Peter's Abbey. Originally a wine cellar used by monks, after centuries of existence and numerous renovations and reconstructions, the space still features historic Baroque-style decor and ornate crystal chandeliers. A thousand years of history seem to flow by with the flickering candlelight. This oldest restaurant in the world has "seen it all," serving countless royalty, nobility, and celebrities, including the child prodigy Mozart, who often dined here during his lifetime.

Every week, St. Peter's Restaurant holds a Mozart-themed dinner, where performers dress in period costumes from Mozart’s era and present his famous musical compositions. In addition, dinner is served with dishes prepared in a modern way based on ancient Austrian imperial court recipes, allowing guests to step into a time machine and savor and imagine the life of this great musician.
