Where life tastes of the south.

With soul

At ANIMO by Aigner, we focus on what truly matters: honest produce, mediterranean lightness, and the joy found in simplicity.

Our kitchen is a harmony of tradition and modernity – inspired by a southern way of life, rooted in Salzburg.

Hospitality from the heart

Lizzy & Jakob Aigner live gastronomy with passion. With ANIMO by Aigner, they have created a place that is more than a restaurant to them – it is a way of life.

Here, craftsmanship meets emotion, experience meets intuition, and culinary pleasure meets genuine hospitality.

Their goal: bringing people together. Over good food, meaningful conversations – and a glass of wine that lingers.
