Restaurant Ikarus
About
Restaurant Ikarus is a two‑star Michelin establishment housed in Red Bull Hangar‑7, the iconic glass‑steel aircraft hangar overlooking Salzburg’s flying Bulls. It offers a revolutionary “guest‑chef” concept in which a world‑renowned chef – ranging from molecular gastronomy maestros to Nordic and French culinary artists – creates a brand‑new, month‑long menu. Each new guest kitchen transforms the dining room into a global culinary journey, while the restaurant’s tables remain accessible in a relaxed, yet sophisticated ambience. Guests can also enjoy the adjoining culinary venues: the Carpe Diem lounge‑café serves light breakfasts and day‑time fare; the Mayday bar offers a vibrant cocktail experience; and the outdoor lounge provides al‑fresco dining in the Hangar’s unique industrial‑modern setting. All are part of a contemporary gastronomic complex that blends high‑end cuisine with Hamburg‑style craft beer and a curated wine list featuring Champagne, sake, and a curated selection of champagnes, sparklers, and reds. The restaurant is open daily from 7 PM to midnight (Thursday) and offers an early lunch service from noon to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations are encouraged during the peak season, though the venue can accommodate walk‑ins during off‑peak hours. Contact details and a booking page are listed on the site, making it easy for guests to secure a table for their chosen month’s chef. The “Ikarus” experience is not just about food; it’s a cultural showcase that celebrates aviation heritage and avant‑garde gastronomy in a single, remarkable setting. Whether you are a culinary enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable dining outing in Salzburg, Restaurant Ikarus delivers an unmatched blend of innovation, artistry, and world‑class hospitality.
