Fresh & delicious - Edit
The food was fresh and delicious. We loved the potato goulash (daily special) and vegetable quiche! The Heart of Joy sandwich was unimpressive and felt like something we could easily make at home with Tofurky ham slices. They have an English menu available and English speaking staff. Really kind and friendly waitress. They do accept credit cards now.

Yet another place run by a religious org - Edit
The food was ok (few vegan, but decent options for breakfast), and the place itself is actually pretty nice if you don't mind the statues, portraits etc of the leader (Sri Chinmoy) of this religious organisation running it. I must admit stuff like this irritates me.
Read moreThe staff was very friendly and service was warm and kind. They certainly have created a peaceful atmosphere.

Most of the dishes they are able to adopt to vegan. They even found a way to make our children vegan French toast.

Didn’t like this spot - Edit
Went here for a good vegetarian breakfast but somehow the place felt weird and unhygienic. Fruit wasn’t fresh and the toast wasn’t enough so went to a bakery afterwards for a good breakfast ..

Great Food - Edit
We really enjoyed our meal here. We both had the lentil soup, I had The Heart of Joy sandwich and my partner had the tofu sandwich. Coffee was also great.
Read moreThere is a lot more choice for vegetarians than there is vegans. Whilst we loved our food, we would probably not come back as I feel there were not enough options to bring me back.

Can’t complain - Edit

Calm quaint cafe - Edit
We found this right by our hotel and decided to give it a try. We did the Vegan breakfast plate, it came with delicious coffee and an interesting variety of fruits, breads, and some porridge. My wife loved the porridge and I loved the variety of breads and fruit. The vegan butter was incredible. I also ordered a chocolate muffin and it was insane, definitely my favorite item but I have a big sweet tooth.

Don’t miss the lentil soup - Edit
This place is so good. We had the soups - the lentil was incredible, and the veggie soup was creamy and delicious. Salads were so fresh and tasty, and the sandwich was great. Loved everything. It’s a small place but if you are looking for great vegan options this is the spot.

Leckere Speisen, aber etwas verwirrtes Personal - Edit
Vegane Gerichte sind deutlich gekennzeichnet, und es gibt eine Auswahl an verschiedenen veganen Kuchensorten. Die Bestellung wurde schnell aufgenommen und serviert. Allerdings wurden uns auch die Speisen vom Nachbartisch serviert, und am Ende wurde unsere Rechnung mit der des Nachbartischs verwechselt, was zu einigen Verwirrungen führte. Außerdem mussten wir lange auf die Möglichkeit zum Bezahlen warten. Trotzdem war der Kuchen lecker und der Kaffee gut!

Wonderful restaurant - Edit
This place is so dear to my heart. My friends and I eat at this cafe/restaurant all the time.
Read moreI really like the curry, dhal, salads and soups, as well as all the daily specials. They have great sweet treats also - eg chocolate brownie, cookies and a range of home-made style cakes. They seem to use very good ingredients and they have options for people with food allergies. The coffees look great (I don't actually drink coffee). I have really appreciated the hot chocolate and hot lemon drink during winter.
If you don't happen to like some food or drink that you buy there, you can let them know and they will give you something else until you are happy. I think this is a great policy because you really can't lose.
The ambience is just wonderful - so inspiring and beautiful. I have bought some of their spiritual poetry books and referring to these books every now and again has really helped me deal with some problems in my life.
The workers are all super helpful, friendly and kind in my experience. I appreciate the table service.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Heart of Joy. Lunch times can become busy sometimes. They are also open up until the early evening if you prefer less risk of it having no tables left.

Read moreEvery day i ate at the Heart of Joy restaurant I really enjoyed every thing about it. The people were really friendly and welcoming and the food was just perfect for me. I also really enjoyed the serene atmosphere in there seeing videos of and listening to the music of Sri Chinmoy, A man who dedicated his whole life to promoting world peace. I had been fortunate enough to meet him in London in 2003. If Im in Salzburg again, I will definitely be eating there
Pros: Great food, Great service, Friendly helpful people

A body and soul feeding experience - Edit
The restaurant is very central, close to the congress hall and the Mirabell park.
Read moreIf you go inside you are greeted by a spiritual energy and vibe, that is not easily found in a restaurant.
The staff is super friendly and the toilets are clean, which is always a very good sign.
There is always a daily special but you can also‚ à la carte from vegan and vegetarian options.
I tried the vegan raw chocolate cake, which I can really recommand, it is sweetend with maple sirup.
They have a warm kitchen throughout the day.
Pros: Fresh and high quality ingredients, nice, spiritual vibe, friendly service

Fulfilling in every way - Edit
The name already gives such joy.
Read moreThe food is excellent and divers and arrives quite fast. The staff is very kind.
A nice surprise is the presence of a peace statue and numerous colourful artworks with inspiring titles, such as "world family", "serve humanity" and "be kind to animals".
My favourite is the daily special that every weekday offers a culinary specialty from a different country. They are served at lunch time and so tasty that they sell out in a few hours time. Too good was also a special chocolate cake made with cashew nuts.
