Your restaurant for the best schnitzel in Zell am See

Located right in the heart of Zell am See’s pedestrian zone is the Grüner Baum – a hotel, bar and restaurant all in one, run as a traditional family business. For many years, guests and locals alike have come to appreciate us for our regional cuisine, our in-house butchery, and last but not least, our claim to serve the best schnitzel in Zell am See.

THE BASIS FOR THE BEST SCHNITZEL

TRADITION, CRAFTSMANSHIP & LOCALITY

What begins in our family-run butcher’s shop is perfected in the kitchen of the Grüner Baum restaurant, drawing on a wealth of experience and craftsmanship. Carefully selected cuts of meat, fresh ingredients and homemade breadcrumb coatings ensure that every schnitzel remains crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Whether it’s a classic Viennese schnitzel made from veal or pork, or regional specialities: for us, quality, provenance and authentic flavour are key. This is how our trademark is created – for many regulars, simply the best schnitzel in Zell am See.
