Description

Set on the eastern edge of the river near the Staatsbrücke, this restaurant is the closest thing in Salzburg to a loud, animated, and jovial pub with food service. Its circular bar is great for those who just stop in for a drink, although many patrons eventually wander into dinner, too. Management allows only three tables on any particular evening to be reserved; the remainder are given to whomever happens to show up. It's best to give your name to the maître d'hôtel and then wait at the bar.Menu items are simple, inexpensive, and based on regional culinary traditions. A house specialty is a gratin of green (spinach-flavored) noodles in cream sauce with strips of ham. Also popular are Wiener schnitzels, ham goulash with dumplings, and at least three different kinds of main-course dumplings flavored with meats, cheeses, herbs, and various sauces. Dessert might be a cheese dumpling or one of several kinds of pastries. True to the establishment's name, translated as "The Funny Monkey," its interior depicts simians, both painted and sculpted, cavorting across the walls.
