© Lupi Spuma / Lilli&Jojo
The vine-covered hills of Styria offer picturesque views that are best enjoyed from the terraces and outdoor dining areas of the province. Falstaff presents the top restaurants with the most beautiful outdoor areas.

Vineyards all around, country house with style inside - southern Styria at its best. Joachim Gradwohl's cuisine easily keeps up. Straightforward courses with love and complexity are convincing.

Sulztal an der Weinstraße 22, 8461 Gamlitz, Austria

Southern Styrian flair with lots of wood, glass and a dream view. The menu offers a wide range: Styrian tapas, fried chicken, Blunzen spring rolls and monkfish with parmesan soufflé. Top wine cellar.

Kogelbergstraße 62, 8430 Leibnitz, Austria

As a winemaker, Wolfgang Maitz provides perfect wines to accompany classic dishes such as fried chicken or creamy Arctic char. Pasta, risotto and flamed maron cream are also of the finest quality.

Ratsch an der Weinstraße 45, 8461 Ehrenhausen on the Weinstrasse, Austria

You feel at home in the parlors. Trout from the restaurant's own pond and meat dominate the menu, accompanied by superb vegetables. Host Willi Rauch charmingly accompanies the wines.

Wald-Süd 21, 8510 Stainz, Austria

Herbs and vegetables are cared for in idyllic surroundings, as are pigs, geese and sheep. The cuisine is beautifully Styrian. Well-stocked wine list, including some orange wines.

Sommereben 2, 8511 Sankt Stefan ob Stainz, Austria

Unique historic rooms and fresh, creative regional cuisine with cream of asparagus soup, tomato carpaccio or fried pike-perch fillet. The hotel's own wines impress with their depth and finesse.

Kapfenstein 1, 8353 Kapfenstein, Austria

The energy of this place of power and tradition can also be felt in every dish. Hearty snacks, fish soup or fried char are fun, while sweet temptations come true in the small patisserie.

Fischerndorf 77, 8992 Altaussee, Austria

Fish is a must in Ausseerland. Here it comes in the form of catfish ceviche, baked char and trout maki. Pasta is served with the restaurant's own pesto and the steaks are a dream.

Ödensee 144, 8990 Bad Aussee, Austria

A cozy hut with a wood-panelled parlour on the shore of Lake Toplitz is the stage for authentic cuisine with freshly caught fish. The specialty is char with a crispy almond crust.

Gössl 172, 8993 Grundlsee, Austria

Arriving and feeling at home is the order of the day, because the food is cooked just like at grandma's house. You should try sour soup, baked chicken liver or fried potato sausage on a warm bacon and sauerkraut salad.
