"Austrian Cuisine" Restaurants in Graz
Jan Eggers and his team have created a real sensation in the city's gastronomic scene. No wonder, because you don't want to miss a single one of the eight menu courses: creative, contemporary, great!
There are two changing surprise menus to choose from - and then it's best to sit back and let Philipp Dyczek work his magic, because the results are consistently creative and of a high standard.
An institution in Graz that stands out for its consistently top quality - not only in the pub cuisine with boiled beef or schnitzel, but also with modern, creative dishes such as the fine ceviche.
The spectacular view could almost distract you from the dishes, but that would be a mistake, because the kitchen operates creatively and at a high level between pub and modern creative cuisine.
In a stylish ambience in the heart of the old town, Hermann Schmidhofer alternates between upscale pub classics (Kaiser Cordon) and exquisite creative cuisine from all over the world (ceviche from Langostino).
The cozy inn has become a hip address not only thanks to its location: focus on quality, culinary tradition and the region - from beef soup to fried chicken and Kaiserschmarrn pancakes.
In the lovingly designed stall, chef Alexander Posch prepares the fresh produce that the local producers have on offer every day. The highlight is the multi-course "Steiermark(t) Dinner" in the evening.
The ambitious pub cuisine uses both classic and modern approaches - the arctic char is accompanied by curry, gnocchi and savoy cabbage. Steaks from the Alpine ox are also sizzling on the grill.
At Ex-Magnolia, the name says it all: Christian Bernhard is responsible for the smoke with delicious grilled dishes such as honey-whiskey ribs, while sommelier Michael Stafford takes care of the grapes.
Dry-aged steaks are the culinary hobbyhorse of this friendly city-center restaurant, but classics such as schnitzel and boeuf stroganoff or the scallop and scampi gröstl to start are also good.
In the pretty little house on the Schlossberg, lunch is international, while in the evening guests are sent on a "pleasure trip" and then feast on five or seven-course menus between home and the Mediterranean.
The seasonal regional cuisine in the modern restaurant focuses on international menus at lunchtime, and there are no culinary limits in the evening either. Fortunately, the creatively topped pancakes are always available.
Styrian cuisine is complemented with fresh ideas in the family business on the Steinberg - not only the tavern tapas menu is popular, but also the seasonal specialties testify to great kitchen know-how.
Classic dishes from the tavern such as schnitzel, but also the one or other Mediterranean favorite from vitello to octopus, are the fixed starters in the beautiful Schlössl with its fantastic terrace.
A fixture on the Graz restaurant scene - thanks to its long history and Werner Wiener's cuisine. Here, he brings grandma's recipes into the present day - with a great deal of love for the region, such as the Styria Beef Sulzerl with seed oil.
Traditional cuisine with high standards in an upscale inn ambience: Trout, lobster and gnocchi or braised shoulder of lamb are sure to impress, while the magnificent rose garden provides a summery oasis.
If you don't want to choose between a pub and a bistro: this way! Because the stylishly hip restaurant serves both Schnitzel Holstein and steak frites - in top quality.
Thanks to the glass walls, the view of the city from inside is sensational, and the international cuisine is contemporary, with truffle carbonara, vegan curry and braised beef cheeks.
This city center address has made a name for itself above all for its top-quality fried chicken, but Styrian tapas, i.e. miniature tavern dishes, are also a hit. Served with wines from the in-house wine cellar.
The ambience of the old town's original restaurant has been brought into the modern age, while the cuisine remains classic, home-style and high-quality, for example in the form of schnitzel, steak or pumpkin risotto.
