"Parking Space" Restaurants in Graz
Spectacular menu by Alexander Posch, who uses it to fill an entire room in "Chef's Table" style. The outstanding patisserie by Jan Eggers and the wine gems underline the extraordinary.
In the west of Graz, tavern cuisine made from regional produce comes in modern, thoroughly creative nuances and meets an extensive wine list that celebrates (not only) Styria. Beautiful guest garden!
Didi Dorner's surprise menus have long been known beyond the city limits - and rightly so: with a casual hand, he creates dishes in the evening that are full of detail and yet not overloaded.
The name says it all: salmon trout sashimi, freshwater and saltwater fish, fried in Alpine butter - all fresh and delicious. Fish avoiders go for the Almbullensteak. Good wines, including big bottles.
Thomas Galler has taken over the helm from Konstantin Filippou and now conjures up an unchanged creative, but also wonderfully light regional cuisine. Pinsa is popular, and the "Alpine salmon" is also delicious.
Both on the magnificent terrace and inside the sophisticated building, excellent versions of classic tavern dishes such as boiled beef soup are served. It is also popular for celebrations such as weddings.
The tasty dishes range from beef tartare with mango and chilli mayonnaise to imaginative burgers and pizza to fillet of beef with ricotta tartlets. The finale: a sweet pizza with chocolate crust.
Guests not only enjoy Austrian classics in the beautifully modernised restaurant with its sunny terrace, but also pasta and pizza. The seasonal specialties are also popular.
The huge tree provides shade, the gravel crunches underfoot and the stream babbles nearby: such is the picturesque backdrop for the gastronomic classics of (southern) Italy.
Since its renovation, the classic pub has shone in modern splendour. The same could be said of the menu: mushroom lasagne with king oyster mushrooms meets roast straw pork.
Robert Ferstl prefers to cook regional dishes in the eye-catching building. At lunchtime, he serves uncomplicated dishes, while the evening menu features the finest products accompanied by equally fine wines.
The (Styrian) tavern ABC - from fried chicken to liver - is brought to the table by the friendly staff in very good execution, and vegetarian options also delight. Special dates with tavern tapas.
The suburban restaurant owes its good reputation to the consistently high quality of its Austrian classics. Some people travel long distances for the "Schmied'n-Pfandl".
For over a century, the people of Graz have appreciated this friendly inn in the north of the city. The food is meaty and hearty. But the fried chicken and schnitzel are really worth a sin.
An unmistakable sign of quality is the crowds of guests who make a pilgrimage to the outskirts of the city to feast on the Mediterranean classics. Focaccia and pinsa of similar fluffiness are rare.
