Ludwig Burger Salzburg: Organic Beef and Prices

Ludwig – Das Burger Restaurant, at Linzergasse 39 in Salzburg, is the burger restaurant Angela and Erich Hauser opened after about 10 years in London. Every burger uses Austrian organic beef, cooked fresh each day over an open flame and served on a brioche bun from Bäckerei Funder, a Salzburg bakery. On 21 October 2026, the official site listed the Klassisch at €11.90 and the house burger, the Ludwig, at €17.80. If you came looking for a burger by the chef Andreas Döllerer, you won’t find one. His 2-Michelin-star restaurant is in Golling, outside the city, and it doesn’t serve burgers.

Ludwig burger Salzburg: key facts

Ludwig Salzburg is a sit-down organic burger restaurant in the Bruderhof courtyard at Linzergasse 39, on the right bank of the Salzach, across the river from the cathedral and the main old-town sights. I checked every fact below against the restaurant’s official site, the Salzburg tourist board and BIO AUSTRIA on 21 October 2026.

Who founded Ludwig? The Hausers’ London-to-Tyrol story

Ludwig was founded by Angela and Erich Hauser, and the couple still own it. The Austrian restaurant guide Gaumen Hoch says they spent about 10 years in London. They came home partly so their children could go to school in Austria.

The first Ludwig opened in Innsbruck, Tyrol, in 2014. Salzburg followed about 2 years later, according to Gaumen Hoch and BIO AUSTRIA. There are now 3: Innsbruck, Salzburg and the SCS shopping centre in Vösendorf, just south of Vienna.

Some sites give an exact opening month for Salzburg. Neither the restaurant nor any dated press article confirmed it, so I’ve left it out.

What makes Ludwig’s burger different: organic beef, flame and a Salzburg bun

Ludwig stands out for its sourcing. The beef is Austrian and organic, the bun is baked across town and the fries start as whole potatoes. Of the burger places I looked at in Salzburg, Ludwig is the only one that names its bakery and has a dated organic certification. To me, that matters more than any “best burger” badge.

Austrian organic beef, certified by BIO AUSTRIA

Ludwig uses only Austrian organic beef for its burgers. In December 2025, BIO AUSTRIA, the country’s main organic farming association, announced Ludwig Salzburg as a certified partner at Bronze level. Read that carefully: Bronze is a partial certification that covers part of the menu, not the whole restaurant. The Salzburg tourist board adds that the beef is cooked fresh every day over an open flame.

Brioche buns from Bäckerei Funder

The Salzburg buns are brioche buns from Bäckerei Funder, a long-established Salzburg bakery. 2 sources name the supplier: Ludwig’s own site and an independent Herold directory listing. Want that soft crumb at home? Try our homemade brioche burger buns recipe.

Hand-cut organic fries

Ludwig cuts its fries by hand from fresh organic potatoes, according to the tourist board listing.

Ludwig Salzburg menu and prices (October 2026)

On 21 October 2026, a burger at Ludwig Salzburg cost between €11.90 and €17.80, according to the official site. It listed 4 burgers:

Ludwig Salzburg burger prices, October 2026 (horizontal bar chart, euros): Klassisch €11.90, Cheese €13.90, Speck & Zwiebel €15.90, Ludwig house burger €17.80. Source: ludwig-burger.at, checked 21 October 2026. (Chart: Burger Breton, original work, CC BY 4.0; data: ludwig-burger.at, 21 October 2026)

There are also vegetarian and vegan burgers, salad bowls and desserts. Older third-party menus show other prices and burgers that are no longer listed, such as a turkey burger and a 250 g BBQ burger, so I’ve used only the official prices. They change, so check ludwig-burger.at before you go.

My take on value: the €5.90 jump from the Klassisch to the house burger is steep. If you’re here for the organic beef and the Funder bun, the Klassisch or the Cheese gets you both for less.

The official site’s summary also lists toppings for the Ludwig and several meat and cheese suppliers. The live menu page didn’t show them, so they’re not in this article.

Opening hours: is Ludwig Salzburg open on Mondays?

Yes. The official site lists Monday from 17:00 to 22:00 and Tuesday to Sunday from 11:30 to 22:00. That’s useful in a city where plenty of kitchens rest on Mondays. The Salzburg tourist board and BIO AUSTRIA still show an older schedule: closed Mondays, open from 11:00 Tuesday to Sunday. Go by the restaurant’s own site, and if your evening depends on it, call +43 662 872500.

Vegetarian, vegan and halal options at Ludwig

Ludwig serves vegetarian and vegan burgers next to its beef burgers, so a mixed group can eat there together. The Salzburg tourist board also says the beef is halal certified. That claim comes from 1 source only, and the restaurant hasn’t confirmed it. If halal matters to you, ask the staff before ordering.

Best burger in Salzburg: Ludwig vs BioBurgerMeister, Glorious Bastards and more

Ludwig isn’t alone. Linzergasse has a second organic burger place, BioBurgerMeister at number 54, a few minutes’ walk up the same street. Here is how the main burger restaurants in Salzburg compare:

Sources: salzburg.info (BioBurgerMeister), salzburg.info (Glorious Bastards).

Ludwig or BioBurgerMeister on Linzergasse?

Both are organic, so the choice comes down to the kind of meal you want. BioBurgerMeister offers 13 burger variations. Ludwig is a full sit-down restaurant: 90 seats, a 40-seat garden, room for groups of up to 50 and a bun from a named Salzburg bakery. For a family dinner or a group, I’d book Ludwig. I can’t compare prices fairly: the BioBurgerMeister figures online (“from €4.50”, “from €8”) are undated and contradict each other.

A newcomer: Le Burger in November 2026

The burger chain Le Burger plans to open its first Salzburg restaurant in November 2026 with the franchisee Laura Viechtbauer, according to the trade site Hogapage. It has been announced but isn’t open yet. I’ll update this guide when it opens.

Andreas Döllerer and Döllerer: not a burger address

Andreas Döllerer has no link to Salzburg’s burger scene. He is the chef-owner of Döllerer, a two-Michelin-star restaurant serving Alpine cuisine in Golling an der Salzach, a market town south of Salzburg. If you searched for a Döllerer burger, here’s the answer: I went through every Döllerer menu I could find and none has a burger, and no source ties him to one.

Who is Andreas Döllerer?

Andreas Döllerer took over his family’s restaurant and hotel on Golling’s main square in 2004, according to news.at. He trained under Dieter Müller at the three-star Schlosshotel Lerbach, and Gault&Millau named him Chef of the Year in 2010 (JRE). His restaurant holds 5 Gault&Millau toques and 100 Falstaff points. Rolling Pin also ranked him first in its list of Austria’s 100 best chefs.

Döllerer in Golling: 2 Michelin stars, no burger

The Michelin Guide gives Döllerer 2 stars for “innovative, Alpine” cuisine and puts it in its top price category. The address is Markt 56, 5440 Golling an der Salzach. The cellar holds more than 3,700 wines, run by the Master Sommelier Alexander Koblinger. Opening hours are Wednesday to Friday 18:00 to midnight and Saturday noon to midnight. It’s closed Sunday to Tuesday.

The family business dates back to 1909. In Golling it runs the restaurant, a Wirtshaus (inn), a delicatessen and a hotel, and in nearby Kuchl a wine shop and an enoteca. Its menus feature sturgeon with Piedmont hazelnuts, Rauris venison ragout and Schwarzbeernock’n, a blueberry dumpling. They do not list a burger.

For a burger, stay on Linzergasse. For the region’s top fine-dining table, make the trip to Golling.

How I built this profile

I built this profile from Ludwig’s official site, the Salzburg tourist board, BIO AUSTRIA, Gaumen Hoch, Falstaff and the Michelin Guide, all checked on 21 October 2026. A fact appears only when a named source states it, and a supplier only when 2 sources agree. There’s no star rating on this page and no Google or TripAdvisor scores, because I don’t publish ratings I can’t date and verify. For the record, Ludwig also holds a Gaumen Hoch bronze seal and is listed in Falstaff’s street food guide.
