Balkan-Grill

The Balkan Grill is hidden in a very small space in one of the charming passages between Getreidegasse and Universitätsplatz. The "Bosna" prepared there has enjoyed cult status for a long time.


Cult sausage made in Austria

A unique sausage speciality started its culinary success story at Salzburg's Balkan Grill and has long since become an Austrian classic – although it actually comes from Bulgaria: the "Bosna", a kind of hot dog. It consists of grilled pork sausages that are placed between two slices of white bread with onions and fresh parsley as well as a secret spice mixture.

Worldwide success from Müllnerbräu

Salzburg has the Bulgarian Zanko Todoroff to thank for the "Bosna": in 1949 he prepared a bratwurst in the Müller Bräustübl according to his secret recipe. Thanks to its delicious flavour, it quickly became a well-known delicacy in the city. Soon Todoroff was able to afford his own snack stand, the Balkan Grill. The small stand in the Stockhamer Durchhaus, a passage between Universitätsplatz and Getreidegasse has long since achieved cult status and has even found its way into Asian travel guides. No wonder, then, that numerous Far Eastern guests also join the colourful crowd at the tiny window of the restaurant.

  • Product range: bosna in different variations (e.g. original, onion, parsley, spice or onions, ketchup, spice with mustard, spice etc.).
  • Special feature: the special style of the take-away window in the courtyard is unique.
