The 50 best places to go out in Graz

The Schlossberg is a must-see when visiting Graz. The climb itself is part of the fun! There’s an amazing staircase carved right into the hillside that makes you feel like you’re conquering the mountain step by step. But if stairs aren’t your thing, don’t worry: there’s also a funicular and even an elevator to take you to the top. I highly recommend the funicular. It’s smooth, quick, and the views as you ascend are fantastic. Plus, it’s part of Graz’s regular public transport system, so the cost is the same as a bus or tram ride. You can buy a one-way ticket, use your 24-hour pass, or even a weekly/monthly pass. Just note: if you’re using a transit ticket, you’ll need to stop at the ticket window to get waved through instead of scanning at the turnstile. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with incredible panoramic views of the city. Between the history, the scenery, and the multiple ways up and down, it’s the kind of spot you can’t miss when exploring Graz. Whether you’re climbing, riding, or snapping photos from above, the Schlossberg is one of those places that makes the city feel truly special.

The Schlossberg in Graz Austria is a must see if you are ever in Graz. There is a staircase on the outside of the mountain that allows you to walk up and down to access the Schlossberg. There is also a tunnel that takes you into the mountain where there is a lift that will take you to the top of the Schlossberg. The first visit, I took the exterior stairs up and down and found it to be a moderate to challenging walk. I only took the lift the second time because I want to experience what that was like. And it was pretty cool to say the least. There is a lot of history to this structure. The castle was apparently never conquered, but was largely demolished with the signing of a treaty by Napoleonic forces. The Clocktower and Belltower were spared when the people of Graz paid a tribute or a ransom to ensure their survival. It is mostly a park now but there are several cafés at the top where you can enjoy a glass of wine and snacks The view from the top is simply stunning and is absolutely worth the walk up to the top or by taking the lift I would highly recommend making this part of your stay if you were ever in Graz Paul Calgary, Canada

Did you know…? An alternative route (if you don’t want to climb the steep stairs, or use the paid lift/funicular) to the top of Schlossberg/Uhrtum) can be accessed via a winding back route! Start your ascent at Sporgasse & Am FuBe des Schlossberges (the entrance is near Kirby’s American Kichen restaurant) - - - from there you’ll walk up and along a tree- lined wide & gently sloped path to the top. (Aprox. 15 minute walk) Views are well worth the effort. For the brave & young at heart, consider taking the carpet slide back down the mountain! There’s a short flight of stairs by the lift that will take you to the slide entrance. For 3 Euros, it’s an unforgettable corkscrew slide down at speeds up to 35Km! Terrifying and exhilarating experience all at once!

Views on top are incredible - lots of nice places to sit and order beer and coffee at the top - views are incredible - many ways to get to top between walking, elevator and other ways

You should walk up the stairs! Such amazing views, plenty of seats on the way up. The top is worth it! And it's free!

Schlossberg is a great place to take a walk and enjoy a beer with an amazing view over Graz. The atmosphere is really relaxing, and it’s perfect for spending an afternoon outdoors. There’s also a fun option to slide down the hill with the Schlossberg slide — it’s a unique experience and a lot of fun, although a bit pricey. Definitely worth visiting!

Today I visited Schloßberg with a friend, and it turned out to be such a great experience. We took the funicular Zug 🚆 to the top, which was smooth and gave us some lovely views of the city as we ascended. Once at the top, the atmosphere was peaceful and scenic perfect for relaxing with a drink and taking in the surroundings. We spent some time just soaking in the views, snapping a few photos, and enjoying the fresh air. The place has a unique charm, with old stone paths and remnants that really give you a feel of history almost like stepping back into a time with echoes of World War II still lingering in the walls. Coming down, we chose the stairs instead of the train, and that was honestly one of the highlights. The descent offered some beautiful views and made us appreciate the height we were at even more. It’s a bit of a workout but worth every step.

imposing 15th century cathedral, on the top of a staircase. the simple linearity of the facade contrasts with the baroque mausoleum next to it, creating an interesting architectural dialogue

Majestic and beautiful cathedral. Wonderful music during Mass.

A stunning and historic cathedral right in the heart of Graz! The interior is beautiful, with impressive architecture, intricate details, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it a perfect place to explore. It’s easy to visit while walking through the city center, and the cathedral offers a glimpse into Graz’s rich history and culture. A must-see landmark for anyone visiting the city!

Is certainly to be visited, if outside appears so simple, inside is beautiful with so many wood sculptures, not enough words to describe the art found inside

A beautiful, serene, small cathedral full of symbolism, located atop a set of stairs on a narrow street that you don't expect. The tomb area is stunning.

At first glance, beautiful, but ! If you tap on the "marble" - it rings on plasterboard ! A complete imitation. I hope the organ is real?

Going back to the 15th century, the cathedral is built in Gothic style while the interior is decorated later in baroque style. The entrance is free and there is a lot to discover inside, very many intricate works of art, ornate and colorful altars, wonderful architectural elements, murals, reliefs and statues all making up a rich, tasteful space.

The architecture is impressive! I couldn't shake the feeling that I was on a spaceship. This museum doesn't showcase art in the classical sense, but it offers something else. Here, art is meant to be listened to, felt, and perhaps understood in your own way. Some exhibits made no sense to me at all, even after reading the explanations — and that was part of the intrigue. The price is standard for Austria. The staff is excellent. The shop inside is interesting. I definitely recommend a visit.

Extremely well-curated with a blend of modern and old, what's not to love about Kunsthaus? Even if you're not a museum/gallery type of person, come for the gorgeous views from the terrace/top floor

We went there after exploring the Schlossberg area; easily accessible by foot! And not too far. It cost us €12 / adult and the "kass" was friendly without queue (lucky us!). The "Freeing the Voice" was on exhibition during our visit; it was an intriguing one! It took us around 1.5 hours to learn about everything, including a photography exhibition. This place has 3 floors for exhibitions - there was also a "friendly alien" space below seemingly targeted for children; interactive stuff, where saw a work from someone and I loved it!

The Kunsthaus Graz, Grazer Kunsthaus, or Graz Art Museum was built as part of the European Capital of Culture celebrations in 2003 and has since become an architectural landmark in Graz, Austria. Its exhibition program specializes in contemporary art from the 1960s onwards.

Awesome place to visit. It is ever present on any youtuber's travel vlog to Graz /Austria. We were lucky enough to enter for free on a Sunday (no idea what the occasion was, but it was free entrance). The building is in center down town. Awesome architecture on the outside, awesome light shows on the building during the night, massive concrete building. They have lockers at -1 like most Austrian art galleries and museums and you are not allowed to bring your backpack inside the museum, nor selfie sticks, not liquids. I especially love the eye shaped windows at the first flor, gave such alien UFO vibes or a feeling you were i side a cyborg wale or something 😄🐳🐋. On the last floor there is an indoor terrace with a view towards the river and the city center. They have great restrooms for people with disabilities as well and lifts between the floors. They also have a bar terrace outside , behind the museum, very lively and there is also a municipality fountain , with drinkable water, next to that bar , for those hot summer days . Artworks were very well lit and separated with proper details in regard to the artist and hi/her work.

Don't waste your time going to Freeing the Voices unless you never watch news broadcasts on TV or take sadistic pleasure from seeing the misery of other people. The exhibition borders on emotional abuse, and it is an outrage that I had to pay to experience it. Yes .. galleries are discursive spaces. We should enter with an open mind and expect to learn. But conceptual art is taking the concept of art beyond anything meaningful.

What was I thinking …it was the building that led me to make an exception and enter a contemporary art museum…don’t get it, never got it , never will get it ..if it rocks your boat go in otherwise stay away !!

Murinsel Café is a great place with a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the architecture is truly unique — a floating structure in the middle of the Mur river that makes the whole experience special. Whether you're just grabbing a coffee or taking a break while exploring Graz, it's definitely worth a visit!

Super fun addition to the city of Graz and a very unique experience. If your path takes you across the river to some of the most interesting downtown hubs of Graz, this is the way to go to enhance your experience. They have outdoor seating for a nice Cafe in the middle of a river! You'll have a story to tell as well as a good experience with the staff and accommodations. 4/5 stars because they deliver an experience that you can't experience anywhere else on the planet based on the design and uniqueness, however; Graz provides alot of unique areas, culture, history, and interesting design that places this in a "might see" instead of a "must see" category.

A little pearl in the middle of the city and the river. There's a nice cafe bar indoor and outdoor as well. Check out murinselgraz homepage for concerts and events available in the outdoor part. The island is accessible from both sides of the river, it's worth to just cross it.

Just walked thru, perfect for nice pictures. Brilliant architecture in the middle of the river. You can have a coffee inside, we didn’t but it seems nice and they have nice looking desserts.

The exterior is nice. There is a coffee shop inside. The sound of the river is magnificent. It is such a pleasant building.

Really impressive structure and has an open air cinema inside. It's beautiful at night all lit up. It's free to walk through it.

An artistic, impressive and nice place on the flowing river. It has a cafe inside too.

Omg. I loved it. Weapons are amazing. Employees are super helpful to answer lots of questions and are quite knowledgeable too. Definitely one of the coolest places to see in Graz!

One of the most unique collections I have ever seen. Preservation is top notch, but it comes down to the special nature of what they have in the Armory. A reminder as well as a celebration of craftsmanship. Like it's creators this collection is complex, special and should be preserved as a reminder.

The Graz armoury is an astonishing collection of weapons and armour, preserved through a historical accident and housed right in the centre of the city. From the outside the building doesn’t look much different from those around it, but once inside there’s floors and floors of pikes, rifles, armour, shields and so much more. I’m not generally a fan of museums but this was superb, and an absolute must see in any visit to this part of Austria.

We weren’t sure what to expect, as this isn’t usually the type of place we go for, but it was totally worth it. A little bit of history and a huge collection of items. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Fantastic place with large collection (and really really large) of arms and armor from 16. and 17. century. Definitely worth a visit but check the opening days in advance. The whole visit takes about an hour, there is also a guided Tour available.

An amazing collection which is worth a visit! The guided tour is really good and makes thr experience a lot better!

Great place if you like history and under 19 is free so ticket for adults only.

The building is interesting, and the entrance is free, but honestly, there wasn't much to see and do there. Still, as I understand, it is an important historic landmarknfeom the Renaissance, and you should pass through it as it is in the perfect pedestrian centre of Graz and decide for yourself if you like it or not

A nice renaissance building. You can enter freely and enjoy the atmosphere. There are not much to do but you can walk in there, if you are interested in renaissance architecture you may love this building. There are nice historical sculptures. People say that there will be musicians playing in the court but I didn't see. Also I guess in winter there will be ice sculptures.

The current building is the third city hall on this site, constructed in the late 19th century in a historicist style. The first city hall was built in 1450 in Judengasse, and a second, Renaissance-style building was erected on the current site in 1550. The Grazer Rathaus is a prominent landmark and a central point of the city, known for its grand architecture and clock tower. The building serves as the seat of the Graz municipal government.

Wonderful Renaissance courtyard to visit. It’s a pity that the city doesn’t use at least parts of the building for a museum or the like.

interesting Renaissance building with a beautiful facade

Beautiful architecture! It’s an atrium of the Landhaus, gives renaissance vibe. Pretty when raining as well. Check it out when passing by

Beautiful Renaissance style building with a spacious courtyard. Not a whole lot to do here though, apart from gazing at the architecture

The parc is well-preserved and nice but I would prefer it to be more accesible to the public. I do get that it’s monument and must be protected though I cannot enjoy the parc when your dog cannot go, you cannot step on the grass etc. In general, you can just walk and look. I def prefer the Schlossberg parc that is public.

Easy access via tram. Huge garden, the garden next to the museum is beautiful. Going thru the Palace you do lots of walking and the presentation is very helpful to get to know the history. Had a very nice visit.

Beautiful and huge place place. Unfortunately when I was there the weather was not very pleasant and still this building managed to make me feel its power. Inside there is exhibition perfect for the history lovers. The park is also worth seeing itself.

This is the first destination my friend showed me in Graz. This is not the kind of extremely luxury type of palace. It is a lovely place with the right size, interesting history and significance. There are a few exhibitions with well presented information and artefacts. You wont be disappointed.

Wonderful experience, easily accessible getaway from town centre by tram. Nicely curated exhibitions, not too overwhelming, which we appreciated. Very accommodating to English speaking tourists. Extremely pleasant lady at the cash register with outstanding level of English. Ausgezeichnet!

We visited during weekend , it was amazing experience. The line was maybe 5 minutes , so not a big deal . We didn’t buy tickets in advance , and I think there is no need . The entrance fee is very low and reasonable for all you can see .

Beautiful absolutely beautiful palace and gardens in which you can spend an entire day, sadly I didn't have that much time but nevertheless I enjoyed a lot visiting this place. Definitely a must see while visiting Graz.

The Main Square of Graz is one of the most charming places I’ve visited in Europe. It’s full of history and atmosphere, surrounded by beautifully preserved medieval buildings that make you feel like you've stepped into another century. The architecture is stunning from every angle, especially if you take time to look up at the details on the facades. The square has a lively but relaxed vibe, with cafes, street performers, and people just sitting around enjoying the moment. Right in the middle, there’s a striking bronze statue that at first glance feels traditional, but if you look closely, it has this unexpected punk element—like a subtle twist that adds humor to the history around it. It really makes the whole place feel unique. It’s a great spot to start exploring Graz—everything important seems to branch out from here. Whether you’re into photography, architecture, or just people-watching with a coffee, this square has something for you. I ended up spending more time here than I expected, just taking in the energy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the city. Love From India ❤️

A nice way to chill myself during the trip. There are a lot of ways spreading from here, so you can arrive at the major spots of the city quickly and conveniently. When I was there, there was a Coca-Cola corp-backed public festival with decent music.

We visited during the Easter holiday and were disappointed—Hauptplatz was filled with unused tents that blocked the view. Instead of a festive Easter fair, it felt empty and unorganized.

Beautiful square very lively at heart of Graz. Very popular shopping area. Lots of branded shops and popular Kastner and Ohler is also close by.

Main Square, on the left bank of the River Mur. Here, is a fine statue of Archduke Johann. Also there is the Town Hall (Rathaus), built in 1893, and the 17th-century Haus am Luegg, with its attractive arcaded and stucco-decorated facade. It's just a shame that they put various stalls and kiosks in this gorgeous place that prevent you from enjoying the beauty of the place, especially the bad smell emanating is terrible, sacrilegious

Really fun place and great street vendors

I am sure, those people which have built this place, wouldn't do it if they knew what it will become in 20th century.

Best asset is the view of the city. Being a tourist trap, the service is far from optimal. Be ready to be treated not with the highest welcoming spirit and also be ready for anything you want to take long time (10 minutes to even be acknowledged, 22 minutes to get someone to take your order, rather having to stand up and say walk to the exit to pay because no one will bring you the check). Food is standard so don’t expect anything amazing.

Very nice open terrace on the Tower Hill. Limited selection but good food. Recommend. LEO♥️

Great place to spend a few hours (you can reserve for 2 hours), enjoy the view, and people watch. Very good service. I recommend paying to take the lift up to the restaurant unless you want a short, intense workout on the way to your meal.

Beautiful view with a relaxing atmosphere. It's great for a short break. We got a Apfelstrudel which was great but be aware that you have to order vanilla ice cream or sauce extra and pay additionally for it.

Visited a bakery machine supplier in Graz. They brought me to this restaurant situated on top of a hill. We took a tram up to reach the restaurant. The food is great, service is out of the world. I would like to comment the waitress who knows her wines so well. As per images I bought 4 bottles back to my house-stay. Up there, you have a sky scraper view of Graz city. This is a beautiful place of visit, not too overcrowded with tourists. The people in Graz are very kind.

We had a drink there, what a view! The inside is stunning, the terrace is an exceptional spot. Don't be fooled by Maps telling you it's only a 6 minutes walk though... You'll arrive there sweating unless you take the (very) expensive elevator.

After a vigorous ascent to the top of Schlossberg in Graz, my visit to Aiola Upstairs was nothing short of a rewarding experience. The panoramic views from the restaurant are truly breathtaking, offering a spectacular vista over the city that enhances the dining experience. The food at Aiola Upstairs was absolutely delightful. The menu's variety caters to all palates, and every bite was a treat to the senses. Equally impressive was the service; the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They took great care to ensure that our meal was enjoyable, providing recommendations and attending to our needs with a smile. Their professionalism added a personal touch to our meal that made the experience even more special. In conclusion, Aiola Upstairs is definitely worth the visit. The combination of delicious food, stunning views, and exemplary service makes it a must-visit destination for anyone coming to Graz. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot or a place to relax after exploring Schlossberg, Aiola Upstairs will not disappoint.

This beautiful building, built 150 years ago, is the largest clothing department store in Austria. Definitely worth visiting to admire the beautiful decorations, among which elegant figures of birds and squirrels stand out. From the terrace you can admire the view over the entire historic center

Not the store I knew few years ago. Premium / luxury brand are mostly gone, replaced with cheap wannabe brands like Joop. Half of floors are empty shelves where shoe store was. Many people still seem to like it, they feel important to go there. But sadly it’s not anymore the place to buy something nice and special.

Even everyone knows this is one excellent store I have to add a little note about it‘s great shop windows. It happens to me quite often to stop there and enjoy in artistically arranged shop windows. This time I took some photos as evidence. Great job!

Great department store with a fabulous roof terrace, this is a dangerous store to your wallet, there are so may fabulous things to buy, has a far nice ambiance than Selfridges and it's easy see the clothes. Then there is the roof terrance with its walkway over the roof so you can see across the city, delicious drinks and cheesecake

Lovely place for shopping. Lots of famous brands so much varieties and clean n posh place for shopping. I brought my Christian Dior glasses from here

Had the most amazing shopping experience with K&O in Graz. We were served and attended to by Anastasiia who did a fantastic job showing and suggesting fashion items. We left K&O most satisfied with our purchases. Highly recommended!

Our favourite shopping Mall. Great atmosphere,the clothes are trendy .Prices are high,but there are also sales and quite convenient. First floor has a piano bar and great sandwiches,chocolate mousse ,drinks.

Great food, vibe, service and really cool place. Not too expensive. Fillet mignon was perfect.

This is the best steak I've ever eaten. Pleasant atmosphere, traditional American restaurant, staff very friendly and fast, steak tartar excellent

Good food, good service and a good atmosphere! Definitely check it out.

A great restaurant with a flair for Harley Davidson motorcycles

I recently stopped by Clocktower on Kärntnerstraße in Graz. Its bold orange façade, surrounded by Harley-Davidson bikes, gives you the clear signal: American diner with a biker twist. Inside, the vibe blends dim lighting with retro Americana—leather seats, neon signs, framed motorcycles, and a genuine saloon feel. I dove into their smoked “Brandy Style Beef Ribs”; rich, smoky, and tender, they delivered on flavor and indulgence. The Filet Mignon and tenderloin were equally impressive, cooked just right and paired with hearty sides. This place is all about the experience—big portions, bold flavors, and rock-solid service. The staff felt welcoming and helped pace my meal so I could enjoy every dish without rush. Clocktower nails that rugged, American bar and grill experience right in the heart of Graz. If you're in the mood for top-tier ribs, steaks, and atmosphere, this is your spot. Let me know if you’d like another Graz restaurant, or a shorter version of this one!

Ok bar but nothing special. Personally, a little overpriced for the food which was ok. Inky had a burger but that was €15 without adding in a side. Expensive beer. Over €10 for two beers. One good thing was easy to park. Apart from that, it was ok.

Top staff and top food. I always like to return and try something new when nearby, would recommend if you driving through Graz or are nearby, would give more stars if possible

First and foremost, the staff here were incredibly welcoming and helpful—they even found seats for us despite a reservation coming up at 12pm, which we really appreciated. I went with the KHC breakfast, a hearty combo of bacon, sausages, and eggs that was genuinely tasty and satisfying. My wife tried the Pablo Picasso breakfast; while it was well-prepared, it just wasn’t quite to her taste. The atmosphere was also a highlight—pleasant, relaxed, and a great setting to enjoy a slow morning. Overall, a nice breakfast spot with kind service and a warm vibe.

Kuntshauscafe ist outstanding regarding high quality food in Graz. Not only food standard is high, the place is very welcoming and so is the staff. Ambience is very relaxed yet lively. Service is expedite and friendly. They have some vegan dishes in the menu, including a couple of cakes. Prices are fair. It is a good idea to make a reservation.

The food was delicious, the breakfast excellent, and the natural juice refreshing. Despite it being a busy Sunday, the service was quick and very pleasant.

Really nice Mini Club Sandwich and Pasta Bolognese. Let’s say, polite service. However, i did not finish food so i asked for takeaway, the response was, “ i will bring you a box”, a restaurant with bill 55 EUR for two beverages and two basic dishes. Where is the hospitality? Still, worth to visit as the taste of the food is nice, however, overpriced.

Really nice little brunch. It was a sunny day so seats were outside which was nice (needed a bit more shade though). Wide variety on the menu so we had avocado toast with eggs and spinach and a beef bagel which also came with an egg. Nice coffee and elderflower soda to cool down. We liked that we could reserve online via Google. Toilets inside the museum, just downstairs.

Great vegan options! Amazing staff, we felt so welcomed 💚

Enjoyed a cappuccino, though disappointed by the limited vegan milk options. The brownie was delicious, and the butter with bread was decent. Staff efficiently performed their duties, and the waiters were friendly. The atmosphere felt crowded; we had to choose our table during busy times.

The most perfect rooftop spot in Graz! Lovely food, cool vibes, great view!

Really nice breakfast on a rooftop in Graz. Good options, excellent service in both German and English. There was seating available as walk-ins but it seems to get quite busy. Would recommend for sure.

really delicious food, the service was immaculate. unfortunately little expensive

Dining above Graz' rooftops! Whenever I have visitors in Graz, I guide them here. The restaurant is located in the very heart of the old town of Graz with a perfect view of the castle hill as well as the marvelous city hall. I've been here several times for breakfast, which has been on point every single time. There is sth. on the menu for every taste: whether you want pancakes, poached eggs, muesli, French toast or other culinary combinations. Besides the great taste and truly good pricing, I love that they use fresh and mainly regional products. Also very recommendable is the coffee - and I say that as a coffee lover. But if you are more in the mood for champagne or a "Spritz" - I'm sure you'll find some tasty options too. Hot tip: if you would like to visit this place on the weekend, make a reservation well ahead of time, especially if you would like to sit on the beautiful terrace. Last but not least I enjoy it very much that the service treats every customer like a queen/king. I emphasize this because not only the "normal people" meet at Freiblick, but also the "Upper classes". You just feel comfortable and welcome here, no matter what you look like. In conclusion: a visit here is a big fat recommendation!

Finding the restaurant was a bit tricky. The map indicated I had arrived, but it turned out to be the entrance of a mall. Thankfully, a guard informed us that the restaurant was on the 6th floor. Upon arriving there, we were impressed by the stunning city views. However, we had to flag down a waiter after waiting for about 10 minutes unnoticed. Once seated, service improved significantly. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food arrived quickly and was delicious, though the portion sizes seemed small for the cost. Breakfast for three, including eggs and bacon for my wife and I, pancakes for my daughter, two juices, a cappuccino, and water, came to around 60 euros plus tip – quite pricey. Despite this, I would recommend the restaurant for its beautiful scenery and tasty food.

Food was amazing. Dog friendly place. Service could be better not like on the instant track. You have to make reservations before, in my case 1 hour, it is acceptable, just the feeling that everything is in hurry I don't like. Sit-eat/drink-go, next please....Average evaluation 4 🌟.

The best thing is the view of the rooftops and the city of Graz from the top. The food is good and correct, especially the dessert, although the price is a bit high, and there were a lot of people, which can prevent you from having a quiet conversation.

Food is very tasty, only the portion size is a bit small if you’re very hungry. Very friendly personnel and lovely atmosphere. 😊

I recently spent a relaxed morning at Die Scherbe, tucked away on Stockergasse. From the moment I stepped inside, I appreciated the modern, light-filled space—with high ceilings, warm wood furniture, and sunny windows opening onto a lively pedestrian street. I started with a globally inspired brunch—rich roast pumpkin with dumplings, followed by fresh falafel and a vibrant root vegetable soup. Each dish felt thoughtfully crafted, offering flavor and freshness while staying hearty and comforting. Service was genuinely warm and flexible. Staff were quick to accommodate dietary needs and menu explanations felt friendly, not rushed. The atmosphere balanced buzz and calm perfectly. Guests chatted casually, natural light flooded the room, and the bright tables made the space feel welcoming and easygoing. Die Scherbe stands out for its creative, inclusive menu, sunlit ambience, and genuinely caring hospitality. It’s a local gem where brunch feels like a relaxed culinary trip around the world—I can’t wait to return.

Went there for brunch today, and I must say everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the people working there were very friendly, and the overall atmosphere was great. They have a charming garden in the inner courtyard with natural shade and a small sandbox area for children. Highly recommended.

The foods we tried were incredibly delicious. I loved the pumpkin pickle that they serves with dumplings. The staffs are very kind and they make time for clients who don’t speak German to describe the menu and foods.

Food was quite nice, particularly the root vegetable soup? Not sure what it was called but it was peppery and tasty. Service was very swift and fuss free.

We walked past and decided we would go back the following day, had an enjoyable beer outside and realised they had a garden, came back the next morning for breakfast in their garden, delicious we both enjoyed our food and the ambiance The service was friendly and welcoming on both occasions

I've been there a few times over the past few years and loved the place, especially the back garden's ambiance, air and the overall quality there. But today was just an embarassment. I brought 5 other people with me, since I loved it so much I genuinely wanted to show the place to them. The only table available had room for 4 so I asked a gentleman to the side it I could borrow the 2 spare chairs he had, he said fine so I went to carry them over to our table. In that moment, the waiter or whoever the rude worker there was, started acting hysterical, as if I just stole a table from one of the guests or something. He kept asking in a highly condescending tone "Can I help you? Uhhhh what are you guys doing??" etc. His coworker guessed correctly that I don't speak german that well so she asked "English or Deutsch"? I said english so after that the male worker start harassing us even further "How about Finnish (literally no one mentioned Finland, nor the Finnish language) hahahaha", "How about you ask me for a table? First maybe tell me for how many people? Maybe I can make some arrangement? Before you start building a fort here??". He shot out several random questions with such condescension that it was embarassing to stand there and listen to all of the nagging, so we just left. I checked and the table had no reservation on it, and previously I wasn't required to ask for a table, nor mention the amount of people I'm bringing with me. But in case that is necessary and somehow no one asked me until now, that's still an incredibly rude thing to do to your customers. A simple question to ask if we checked in with them would've been fine, and we could've calmly fixed any misunderstanding we might have had. But no, I guess attacking your customers the second you see them and not letting them explain themselves or address the situation works too.

The tower can be seen from many vantage points and is a landmark of the city. I must have been very unlucky during my visit, this church was also closed every time I tried to go in, it's a bit cramped between all the buildings but the tower stands out

Definitely unique structural church near the river !

A beautiful church

Beautiful church in the city go there often

another beautiful old building

Beautiful 💒

Ok

I was very pleased to find this large park, right in the heart of Graz. It's the perfect choice for taking a stroll, unwind and see the world go by. During spring time, you'll see a lot of green trees, colorful flowers and those splendid magnolias. I also liked the fact that it's a great area to practice sports. Definitely worth a visit while you find yourself in Graz.

A large park next to the old city centre and ancient city walls. There are many large old trees giving shade and large lawn areas. It has a view of the "Ententeich" duck pond and there are many benches to relax. It's very popular with groups and families. There is a cafe in the middle but also 2 more outlets for food and drinks in the eastern part I visited. There are special areas where kids can play and skate etc. I'll go there again.

Really peaceful and cozy. Many people piknik here. A one quite enjoyable park for sure!!

One of my favourite spots in Graz. There's a bit of everything here: sports fields, open space for picnics and group hangouts, monuments, gardens...

You can enter into the park for free. Nice park with many green area what is good for resting place. Trees, many benches, fountains... Public transport is not so far. In the south side it has a big garage for cars. Many people use the park to relax, but it is not overcrowded.

Great urban park, so near to the city centre and to some of the universities in Graz, no wonder it was full of students when we were there.

Definitely one of my favorite places in Graz. I used to come here with my squad when I was there for my Erasmus. I will miss this place a lot. I hope I can come back one day.

A beautiful opera house, not too big, elegant and finely decorated. Nice view from the main terrace. Good programming and beautiful sets in the staging. The buvette, located in several places, offers a fast and courteous service during the intervals.

Gorgeous building. I loved the interior as well. I watched Macbeth by Verdi and enjoyed it a lot.

A lifetime experience for Opera. The interior detailed design of the building was so beautiful. The music just takes you to another level while enjoying the play. A place worth of visit while one is in Graz.

Amazing Theater, in the center of one of the most beautiful city of the world, in Graz. We saw the "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" (Moliere) and that was a unique experience. It was an excellent performance

A theatre of a great diversity and production interpretation. With a very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Should visit if you ever have free time in Graz.

I strongly believe it is one of the most beautiful monuments you can find in the city, even just from the outside!

Great musical and architectural design , if you are in Graz - consider visiting it for a pleasant time spent in this wonderful opera.

Would have been a great experience if the place weren't totally overheated. I broke out in a sweat by trying on a pair of shoes. I thought energy saving and environmental protection are a big thing in Austria.

Excellent parking garage. 3 hours gratis. More than enough.

Nice, big shopping mall where you can buy some decently priced clothes, have something to eat and drink or just spend a few hours browsing the shops. You'll probably need at least a couple of hours to see everything (and there are plenty of interesting options to check out). There's also a coffee shop with a smoking area and a vegan shop. The mall is located in a more industrialised area, so there's not much else to see or do.

A good shopping complex, with convenient access from inner city

Good place to purchase good items

This is first shopping mall in my quite big googlemap experience, where local security prohibited me to make photo in spite of my explanation and evidences... it is very sad

Big , beautiful mall. Black Friday prices were not cheap, expensive shops,, dumb offers , could have been better. (Nov 2019)

Good view panorama the city. Iconic Tower Lock with garden . You can choose climb up or get the lift ( need to pay )

Beautiful landmark. Cool lift to get up to the tower at a decent price. Once at the top you get rewarded with the most amazing views. It's even possible to go on a massive slide to get you back down. If you are in Graz or anywhere nearby go and have a look. You won't be disappointed. Very, very nice. Give it a try it's lovely.

The Clock Tower on the hill if one of the most important landmarks of Graz. When I was doing my research about this city, this was the highlight of every picture. The Clock Tower carefully watches over the city, as you get a splendid panoramic 360° view of the city. You have a few options to chose from on how to get to it, but I highly recommend taking the funicular as it's the most scenic route. Apart from that, if you're up to it, taking a hike on the many stairs is another option. The photos don't do it justice, you have to visit this landmark for yourself and learn the history of this place.

We enjoyed the well-kept and fragrant place thanks to the roses and other flowers in the area. We of course enjoyed the wonderful view of the entire city from the height. To be honest, the clock tower, the clock, did not make a special impression on us

Super cute small hike up the stairs. It took me about 7 minutes to get to the top. I would say give yourself 15-20 minutes if you aren't used to hikes. It gives you time for a small break as you tread up the stairs.

Beautiful old clock tower on top of the hill, the view from the top is amazing so you should definitely climb and see it.

Walked up to the plateau using google maps , walked up Sporgasse and then made a left turn on Am Fuse des Schlossberges (which i understand means at the bottom of the castle hill) , this street has some paved alleys which are not yet mapped on google maps, it is a bit of a hike for the elderly but it is manageable. Once up on the plateau the view is amazing , the top gardens are amazing. Warning for people with hight anxieties, if you plan on getting down using the stairs from the front of the tower, they may seem steep and narrow. My girl had a bit of a panic attack. For me the view was awesome.

Lovely Farmer's Market! Perfect for starting your Saturdays right. Variety well selected and right next to a park for a nice stroll.

Excellent

(Translated by Google) This farmers market is a highlight twice a week, on Saturday mornings and Tuesday afternoons. I think you can say with consolation that no heart's desire would remain unfulfilled there, fresh fish, the best meat products, selected vegetables, bakeries and sweets, and, if you're lucky, also a good coffee from the espresso cart. The atmosphere is great, and right behind the market there is a small nature reserve and a dog park. What more could you want? (Original) Dieser Bauernmarkt ist zweimal die Woche ein Highlight, am Samstagvormittag und am Dienstagnachmittag. Man kann, glaube, ich Beitrost sagen, dass dort kein Herzenswunsch unerfüllt bliebe, frischer Fisch, beste Fleischwaren, auserlesenes Gemüse, Bäckereien & Süßkrams, und, wenn man Glück hat, auch einen guten Kaffee vom Espresso-Wagen. Die Atmosphäre ist super, und direkt hinter dem Markt befindet sich ein kleines Naturreservat plus eine Hundewiese. Was will man mehr?

Great dining experience! We wanted to avoid a touristy spot and really enjoyed having dinner alongside the locals. I booked a table through Google, and the confirmation was prompt. The atmosphere was relaxed, yet the service was classy and professional—with real candles on the tables, cloth napkins, and uniformed waiters. We ordered the goulash, (the real veal) schnitzel, and their Styrian fried chicken—all dishes were delicious. I also recommend their lavender-infused water.

A busy restaurant – upon my arrival it was already full of guests. I offered to come back later, but at my request they found me a table in a quiet corner. That was very positive. The atmosphere is pleasant – a modern yet simple and elegant setting, exactly what such a bistro should deliver with so many guests. Although the service is bustling, the waiters still pay attention to every guest, and I always received a warm smile. The food is exceptional, a true reflection of Austrian gastronomy. Everything is prepared and presented just as a guest would expect: delicious, homely, soul-warming dishes with a touch of French elegance. The dill and the fish, served with its own caviar, already establish the chef’s signature. And if you still have doubts… try the schnitzel… and finally the apfelstrudel! When I left, I felt love and respect in my heart. That doesn’t usually happen. I recommend it to everyone!

Great spot, thought it would be super busy, but it had many free spots. Recommend coming before six for a guaranteed spot. Their fried chicken was very juicy, we took the mushroom soup too, it was very different from the classical cream soups, it had pieces of potatoes and mushrooms. It was very comforting and cozy.

Excellent food! Made a reservation through Google (very convenient), and had a great meal! Wiener Schnitzel (veal), a very good hausbier and a wonderful apple strudel- all so very tasty! I’m glad I was staying next door so I could enjoy this restaurant!

Food was amazing and the staff were even better! Traditional cuisine and a good wine selection too. Great, relaxed atmosphere and the puddings were next level! I had a perfect creme Brulee! 10/10

one of the well known restaurant in the area. The place located near the iconic art gallery in Graz. It could be very busy on weekends especially at night. Reservation is recommended. Their signature fried-chicken is great. Overall service is on average especially during the peak hours.

While in Graz on business, we decided to have dinner at this wonderful restaurant our first night in Graz Austria. It is connected to the hotel we stayed at, which was also wonderful, The Hotel Weitzer. A great hotel and a simply wonderful and amazing Restaurant. Our business host in Graz, had recommended this hotel and restaurant to us. And we were all very impressed with the food and drinks at Der Steirer. I had the Backhendl and it was simply awesome. One of my coworkers had the Weiner Schnitzel and he said it was unbelievable and it looked amazing. Several desserts were ordered but be sure to order the Strudel and the crème Brûlée. They were both so delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Graz Austria 🇦🇹 Paul Calgary Canada 🇨🇦

splendid historic center, a UNESCO heritage site. very pleasant streets and squares in which to walk among monuments and theaters.

Mid December, advent is in full swing, the town is buzzing with people, it's decorated and lit up so tastefully. Every opening between buildings is a home to a Christmas market. Unlike many places I've seen around Europe everyone is happy, there is a really nice vibe to this place. It's very clean, haven't seen a single homeless person, nothing dodgy or suspicious. It's a very very nice place and well worth a visit

beautiful city, unexpected decorations on the facades of buildings, pleasant streets, many cafes and cozy courtyards

The city, with its peaceful streets and captivating architecture, is truly worth exploring.

Graz was a great surprise and quite a lovely city. It has everything - gorgeous streets, cozy restaurants, museums, river, castle, cultural activities, churches, old town and modern Town, but after all it remains aristocratic, elegant and cozy. The old town is great, do not miss to take a ride with the fanicular.

Graz is very romantic town. Austrian architecture really got me excited. Every building has its own unique style. I am sure that couples will find there something for themselves 🙂.

Graz is a very touristic place. There are a lot of museums and architecture buildings, it s worth to visit. The restaurants present different food culture, which come from different nations. It s better to visit in sunny days or during Christmas.

The Gösser Bräu looks like a typical old brewery in cliché style. It has some beautiful details and one immediately is absorbed by the atmosphere. However food was unfortunately mediocre at best. I had the Cordon Bleu which is served with potatoes as side. Both main plate and sides lacked taste. The cheese inside the meat was lacking taste - and there was barely some cheese. Service was friendly but not very charming and had no time for a simple smile. Bummer, because the location and the atmosphere is great.

Lovely place close to the city center. Excellent bier and really good service. The menu good with different choices. The food is quite good. Maybe the value for money is little bit higher. We recommend this place.

We stopped here for dinner, with no reservation, but got a table. Service was really nice and attentive. The food was good, not the best, not the worst. We had a beef goulash and a pork schnitzel. Huge portions, the schnitzel could easily be shared by two people (as there were two schnitzels on my plate...). Nice atmosphere, good beer.

At first we came str8 for the beer, and it was incredible! But we were surprised that the menu felt good and the food was very tasty (the mushroom's soup) and the bagel with the typical cheese spread - it went really good with the beer. Also the waiters were really nice, and honest. The only missing thing was that the food felt a bit 'tired' cuz we arrived kind of late.

A nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The food itself was good and came out as expected, no complaints there. One odd part of the experience: when we were seated, there was an old, stale pretzel already sitting on the table. On a little wooden hanger. At the end of the meal, they tried to charge us for it, even though we hadn’t ordered or touched it. The charge was removed once we pointed it out, but definitely odd. Overall, decent food and a nice setting, but the pretzel incident was unusual.

Gösser Bräu nails it. Fresh beer, flawless service — quick, friendly, no fuss. Had the Schweinsbraten with boiled potatoes — simple and spot-on. They know what they’re doing. 🍺🔥

Reservation very good via phone and also the welcome. Thw service was excellent. The toilets was very dirty for the pricing policy. Also the food was below average for the cost of each dish. fries plain frozen low quality fries. the schnitzels very salty with tasteless meat. the barbecue ribs with lots of cinnamon to hide the bad meat. the cost especially expensive for the quality.

Excellent service and great food. We came here because the place was recommended to us as tourists visiting Graz. We cannot eat egg and garlic and the lady behind the counter was super helpful. Thanks a lot we really appreciated it

Fantastic! I will be here every time visiting Graz. Service was phenomenal! Little half sandwiches are so delicious. In love with this street. Cute!

Street life at it’s best, humming atmosphere ‘n’ all

This place was recommended by an acquaintance and it must have been my most favorite place to eat in Graz! The open faced sandwiches were delicious and I regret that we only ate there once. If I'm ever in Graz I would definitely return. Highly recommended!!!

Classic sandwich shop which is very popular by locals to have a few bites with a glas of wine or Prosecco. Lots of choices (meat, vegetarian or vegan), great quality and service in special ambiance directly in the heart of the city.

I have been nearly every time I visited my hometown the last 35 years there and enjoyed the place. Unfortunately, today's it was different Firstly the coffee was burned...no idea why nobody check this ( just a black coffee ) the sandwich spread was nice but the toast bread was at least a day old and fircdure not fresch ) bedide this the lady which served was bot really welcoming but I thing she just was under stress so thats not the point). But bad coffee and old bread, sorry that's a no go

Perfect little cafe/deli/restaurant, very old school and reassuringly d-fashioned but with hidden delicacies and good service. Destination.

The Burger was recommended and did not disappoint! Plus, they served us water for the table gratis! Very friendly staff.

They have a vegan menu! I had the vegan green gold burger with fries and habanero dip. The burger is made of oats, pumpkin's seeds and vegetables. Delicious! A generous portion of fries. Habanero dip is very hot and tasty! Service is excellent, staff is very friendly. The place has a pleasing ambience. Loved the booth seating. A wide variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Prices are fair.

The burgers and fries were great! They also have good vegan options. Prices were high and the downside is that you need to pay extra for any other thing, fries for 4+€, and dips for 1.5+€ (even for ketchup!!!) which is non sense to me. If you also get one of their homemade drinks (nothing special), expect to pay smth between 20-30€. If you want a cheaper option but a still a good one, go to Burgerista close by.:))

The meat of the burger was delicious, the bread perfect and the cheese as well (bacon burger). The downsides of the place is that you have to pay extra for everything else, sweet potato fries were good for 4.5€, ketchup or any other sauce is 1€ addition, which is ridiculous in my opinion, The service was not so pleasant. Nothing special.

Very nice breakfast, tasty salmon and avocado. Only the açaì bowl was a bit watery (especially if you know the original ones) but still okay - although I just might have expected too much. Will go there again to try the burgers!

One of the best burgers, I have ever tried. It is a nice place (indoor and outdoor parts) , the lemonades are very tasty too and not so expensive (19 euros a burger+fries+dip+lemonade). Recommended, the only thing... Takes around 20min the service...

The burgers are pretty good. Definitely in the top 5 in Graz. The location is small but cozy and the staff friendly! But you need to book a reservation, otherwise you'll need to wait up to 30mins to get a table.

Nice and elegant Restaurant. We were satisfied with the food and the service. It's a little bit pricy. We paid almost double here than in Vienna.

As a well-traveled food enthusiast, stepping into Landhauskeller is like entering a living tapestry of Styrian tradition and modern grace. Set beneath high vaulted Renaissance arches, the dining room emanates a harmonious blend of warmth and elegance—a place where cozy booths, ambient lighting, and mellow laughter invite you to linger. Though the complete menu remains discreet, I savored a flawlessly crisp Wiener Schnitzel, tender veal, and a refined steak, each dish showcasing the integrity of regional ingredients. Dessert—the comforting apple strudel and indulgent crème brûlée—offered a perfect, sweet punctuation to the meal. The bar, dubbed "Katze Katze," adds a playful, imaginative twist, making each visit feel both elegant and intimate. Service felt heartfelt and polished; staff made me feel genuinely welcome, and every detail—from the dish presentation to the wine recommendation—demonstrated thoughtful care. Landhauskeller isn’t just a meal—it’s an invitation to experience Styrian hospitality at its finest, wrapped in historic charm and culinary sincerity. A truly memorable stop in Graz.

After arriving at Graz, this was our first Styrian meal and it did not disappoint - but rather set the standard! Reservations definitely recommended at this busy restaurant/bar. We were seated in a cozy wood panelled dining area with banquettes. Service was brisk yet attentive throughout. Ordered the deeply satisfying cream of asparagus soup (served hot and perfect to start on a cool October evening!). Schnitzel was huge (standard size) - pounded thin, flavorful and an amazingly thin crunchy crust that seemed to almost float on top of the meat. A serving of lambs lettuce, potato salad, crispy bacon and the sweet vinegary tang with the unmistakable nuttiness of pumpkin seed oil dressing was the perfect side for the schnitzel - no need to separately order a side of rice with peas or parsley potatoes - which we couldn't finish! A wonderful first meal in Graz!

The service was incredibly efficient—fast, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The Wiener Schnitzel was authentic and perfectly cooked, with a deliciously crispy crust and tender meat. Truly a standout dish in both flavor and presentation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine taste of traditional Austrian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere

My first visit to the lovely town of Graz, Austria, was delightful. The city charmed me with its people, heritage, scenery, and food. There was so much energy as I arrived in town, eager to indulge in authentic Austrian cuisine. The restaurant I visited is situated next to an old heritage house, and dining outdoors was especially enjoyable with the cool night breeze. The menu featured authentic Austrian dishes, and we started with a variety of appetizers: slow-cooked pork neck, lamb salad, beef broth, and beef tartare. Each dish was outstanding. For the main course, I had the charred fillet with truffle spaghetti and sautéed zucchini and tomatoes. The fillet was perfectly cooked, with a charred exterior and moist interior. Most of my colleagues opted for beef dishes, which they also found excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic place to relax with a few glasses of wine.

Very nice place, good food. Service could be better (a little bit of smile would be change the impresion, but ok).

Nice restaurant in Graz, where you can enjoy Austrian cuisine. Schnitzel was perfect. The staff is helpful and polite. The food and drinks were served quickly. Late in the evening there is a bar in the patio. The atmosphere is nice and cosy.

Top service, delicious food and a really nice atmosphere. Would recommend

great service, the waiter served our table was very friendly, attentive but not at all intrusive. rather modern atmosphere, food was also nice

Beautiful food and location

Beautiful Event location combining historic and modern facilities at the foot of a hill. Excellent food from the kitchen. In the city but all views into the green. Good as well for workshops, seminars. Easy to find and get there by car or bicycle.

Food was delicious and a decent size, they have a very good selection of wines. The design is upscale, but it gets a little noisy if the restaurant is full. Service is amazing, very friendly, attentive and competent!

This place is amazing.

Family friendly and romantic at the same time. Only negative point: it is not in the castle, but in a large loft-like restaurant beside. Food is good value for the money, althought on the more expensive end. Fair price for most wine, just avoid the overpriced expensive bottles >50 euros.

Food is amazing and price point is good. Highly recommend the shrimp soup, had to go back another time just to have it again - perfect balance of spice and flavour. Vegan spicy mango dish was sadly lacking in sauce so ended up being quite dry. Cute place overall with a big menu. Highly recommend!

Drinks are fine, great even! Food was honestly not great, when you walk through the restaurant and past the kitchen there seems to be some really delightful smelling dishes, but once it’s in front of you it didn’t really taste of anything. I would’ve loved the option to add my own salt and chili or something for an enhanced experience. LOVE in the summer for drinks inside and out, though. Fun bathroom.

We've ordered 3 cacao's and 1 cappuccino XL. Capuccino was good, very strong but good. Cacao's were awful, they were too light. They tasted like a hot milk with some taste of cacao, I've got a feeling that I got a tea spoon of nesquik with hot milk. I was so disappointed, do not order cacao here.

This is my second time coming here in past two years. Every time I’m visiting Graz I have to come here and have a coffee. I didn’t eat here, but the smell of food is amazing. Btw. Their toilete is so weird in a good way 😄

This one was one of the worst food we had. A group of 6 people today… at 17:00 out of beef on a Saturday. Our food did not taste like Thai food. I asked gut spiced fresh chilly and they don’t have fresh chilly. So how can you cook Thai food and don’t have chilly. Service was bad as well… going tithe bathroom and looking in the kitchen said it all.

Minus two stars for charging a same-day cancellation fee (10 Euros per person) - imho unacceptable for a quite regular/everyday place like this on any day of the week, but in particular on a Tuesday evening. And taking off another star (two if I could) for the original behavior of the owner in replying to customer reviews. Your example with the hotel is a poor one: for a hotel, filling a room for the night after a same-day cancellation is much less likely than for a restaurant to fill a table on a busy night. In fact, your restaurant would cash in twice when charging a cancellation fee of 20 Euros a table AND then filling the table with walk-ins. And on a non-busy day, the restaurant would not lose any revenue anyway by not filling the table - so your rationale makes no sense either. Actually, your policy can deter people like me (who cannot fully plan the time the get off work) from even coming when reservations come with the risk of fees. So you lose turnover and customers - congrats! And to your question - yes, I know your place very well, have been there many times. I will refrain from frequenting it again in the foreseeable future. My thanks to your friendly team (of which you seem to hire too few, as service is sometimes quite slow).

Awesome patio with good drinks. My wallet almost fell out of my pocket and one of the staff alerted me

We experienced the best service in Graz in this place. The food was delicious, but the service was totally out of ordinary. We were served by two very professional and friendly ladies. Always smiling and attention to details even when the placed was fully crowded. Highly recommended.

Great selection of beers, an amazing atmosphere, and super friendly staff. While the food is good, it leans toward the pricier side. Definitely worth a visit!

İnterior is best "Irish pub" design/branding I have seen. But apart from that this is a great eatery and pub with lovely staff, food and drink selection. Been 3 times so far and every visit is friendly fun. Obviously you have to be up for the "craic" , but the staff seem to be in the vibe, even if none have ever been to Clonmel Tipperary, the centre of the Irish universe! Visiting again tonight!

Nice, cozy pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Especially Nemo absolute legend🐟🐟good pint of Guiness too 10/10 would recommend

Very good beer and very helpful stuff. I recommend!

We've been here for 3days on a row. It has a nice ambiance. Drinks r good! We liked it!

We went on a Monday night, so not a good time to properly rate the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food was good, we had a steak. The only slight issue was they had no herb butter sauce for the steaks. How hard is it to make.

We had a great time! The burger was great and the side dish was tasty and generous. The service was very good. Highly recommend the blue cheese burger.

Very good restaurant in the heart of Graz. Stuff very friendly. Great quality of food. I opted for a double patty blue cheese burger which I highly recommend. Good selections of beers as well. Plenty pool tables which require reservation.

Amazing place, cool people, biliard tables and tasteful plates and snacks with unlimited choice of beersss. Definitely recommended!!! 🇦🇹💚

Absolutely amazing place, at first I thought it's mostly for entertainment because of billiards and snooker tables inside but the food was incredible and if you don't know what a good beer is just order Weihenstephan, rest of the beers are very good quality and there is a lot of choice! If I ever go back definitely revisiting!!!

Wow...the name in English is "bread and games", yet we watched them ask a group to leave their patio because they were playing chess...which is a game. This group had at least 6 drinks and 2 appetizers and were into their game for over 2 hours when they were asked to leave. There are even chess pieces pictured on the walls of their patio...just doesn't make sense. Was during the afternoon when patio area was not even busy. I understand that this establishment allows noise into the late hours which is horrible for those living near, yet their concern is a game of chess for paying customers.

Really impressed! Amazing place to hang out with friends, play billiard or darts or just sit somewhere, look at one of their many TV's and have a talk! They also offer extremely many different meals which all look very delicious. The 2 we had, pincho patat & kernoel burger, were really good! Service is also great! I would really recommend going there to have a great and comfortable evening/dinner with friends!

They have a wide variety of beers from all over the world. I had a local Styrian craft beer, Kräftiger Hermann. Top quality. One of their burgers is vegan. Staff is very friendly. Prices are fair.

Ordered waffles with strawberry sauce, I can tell the waffle wasn’t made fresh. The strawberry sauce had crystal of sugars, I couldn’t complete it. The coffee came in cold

Good food. Good service. They accept payments with card.

Unlike what other reviews said, the service was slow and we had to wait quite a while to get our lunch; also the table was quite dirty. The concept of making up your own lunch on a slip of paper is nice and innovative and the food was ok and cheap. The ambience is young and quite crowded.

There can’t be many better places in Graz for a beer at the end of a sunny day. Wonderful views, great service, a decent selection of draft and bottled beer, and sensible prices! They also do food with a sort of ‘build your own’ selection of pizzas, rostis, pastas etc. We didn’t have the chance to try these, but they looked good!

Great rooftop for fair prices.

Was it just me or this place is just the best place in all of the Graz! As soon as we arrived, staff came up to us and with SUPER friendly approach they helped us with with our order. Considering that we don't know a lot of German and there were a lot of other costumers, the waitress stayed with us to show us the menu. After we ordered our pizzas, not much time passed until it arrived. And oh boy!! This guys really know what they are doing!! I couldn't believe that an costum order pizza could taste better than any other I had before! The doe was crispy, not dry at all and just with a mild taste so it can compliment all the toppings. Go crazy with your order. I'm interested what you will find in your imagination ;)

Nice place to have lunch/dinner, better in summer in the terrace. Usually it's crowded so you have to wait for your order. Better make a reservation before. The view is nice too.

Stopped by Starcke Haus Gourmetrestaurant-Wein-Café while visiting Schloßberg — it’s definitely a lovely little place with an amazing view over the city. Perfect spot for a quick coffee or drink break while taking in the scenery. We just had a quick drink, and overall everything was fine. The service was friendly, and the staff seemed attentive and polite. The seating area outside is especially nice if the weather is good calm, quiet, and surrounded by nature. The only small issue was with one of the alcohol free drinks.They advertised it as alcohol-free, but it didn’t really taste like it was, which was a bit confusing. That aside, the rest of the experience was good. It’s a solid place for a short break during your walk around Schloßberg.

Great location for a restaurant. Cafe bar the views are beautiful and very peaceful. Service was polite and nice. the menu is in German if you don’t understand is a big problem. You can pay with card and cash. The toilets were clean

If I could give 6 stars, I would give. Waitresses were super nice, ambiance was good and prices are so okay. One of the best cafes in Graz

Here at the Starcke Haus, or as the locals say the "Starcke Häuschen" due to its small size, you will experience the wild beauty of the Schloßberg, Graz' famous Castle Hill, on which also the clock tower is located, the landmark of Graz. The Starcke Haus, named after an actor from Dresden Gustav Starcke who lived here, has a long tradition and is built onto the Schloßberg, meaning this place is nestled up on the castle hill of Graz, and from here you can see over large parts of the famous UNESCO-listed Old Town of Graz. There is a sun terrace as well as a long-stretched nice patio nestled up on the hill, which is easy to reach from the Starcke Haus itself. The Cappuccino we had here was very delicious and sipped in a very need environment reminding of a little Zen Garden. As the Starcke Haus itself is inside more of a tiny lodge I strongly recommend to sit outside in the patio if possible, but as this place is nestled up on the hill it is very very wind shielded and therefore even on the few stormy days of Graz something to consider going to. The spectacular and the fine atmosphere is also something for couples, who want to have it more romantic than elsewhere. From Graz with Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

great place, wonderful ambience, excellent service

Gorgeous views of the city of Graz from your dinner table.

In one sentence: Please just don't go there... Two friends advised me not to go there, because they experienced the waiters as very unfriendly and everything is overpriced. Still, I wanted to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately I have to fully agree with them. We ordered Café, and after not even one hour we were asked to leave the restaurant because at that time we didn't want to order another drink. At any given moment, this is a no go to do, but it was even worse as there were still three other tables free! There are plenty of nice bars and restaurants in graz, also on the Schlossberg. Just choose another one :-)

You need to be a big Arnold fan to really like this place. It’s not huge and the stuff there is very specific to eras of his life. It’s a lot of niche stuff but still very cool to see. His childhood house was bigger than I expected and still really well preserved. There is a cool abandoned castle beside it where he used to explore as a kid. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and an Arnold fan. My daughter enjoyed the scavenger hunt, and getting apples off the tree to eat.

A must-visit for any Arnold Schwarzenegger fan! 💪🏽 The museum is set in his actual childhood home, full of personal items, movie props, and great stories from his bodybuilding and Hollywood days. It’s not a huge place, but packed with fun details from his first dumbbells to Terminator memorabilia. And here’s the best part: if you subscribe to their newsletter, they’ll give you a free fridge magnet! 😄 The parking area also has charging spots for both electric cars and bikes. 🎬🏋️‍♂️⚡

Finally I made it! For an Arnold's fan this place is special. First of all you get to know how he was living when he was young. For me it is interesting because it was not so bad as he says (at least compared to eastern Europe). Second, you have the opportunity to see Thal, and actually how beautiful it is. The museum is great. Lots of stuff from movies and his life. For me the most important one - not sure if this is the original one, but the sword of Conan. Pretty interesting to see it. All in all, I would recommend stopping by if you are around.

I visited the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum today and it was surreal to step into the actual house where Arnold grew up. Driving through the quiet neighborhood, I kept thinking, "Wow! This is literally where young Arnold walked the streets, dreamed big, and started his journey to becoming the star he is today. The museum itself is fascinating and full of history, with rooms dedicated to his bodybuilding, Hollywood, and political careers. That said, it could use a little TLC—some of the displays feel a bit low-budget and could be refreshed to match the larger-than-life story being told. Still, if you’re an Arnold fan (or just love quirky, unique museums), it’s absolutely worth the trip. You’ll get a mix of nostalgia, inspiration, and some fun photo ops with memorabilia and statues. Plan on about 30–60 minutes to see everything. Not a massive destination, but a very cool, very personal glimpse into the origins of a global icon.

We happened to drive by and saw the house where the legendary Arnold was born. How could we not stop? 💪 We didn’t regret it for a second! Inside, everything was so fascinating that even the closets seemed suspiciously big — maybe that’s where Arnie kept his first dumbbells? 😄 We looked at every detail, as if searching for the secret recipe to becoming the Terminator. We had a great time and definitely recommend it! 🚴‍♂️✨

Great museum that has a non-corporate feeling to it. That’s why it is so special: it is made by true fans of Arnold and you can tell Arnold wholeheartedly endorsed this museum in his former house — rather than giving the licensing rights to some big corporation. Loved the atmosphere, the vibes. This is where greatness came into being! 😊

A definite must-see for any Arnold fan! While the museum is on the smaller side, it's packed with some really cool memorabilia. Well worth the visit.

Very nice

Wonderful view 😍

Beautiful church.

Beautiful church in a peaceful square of Graz.

Across Mure....Worship eat enjoy and have a great evening

Lovely Christian church in Graz

A world of history and a great place for concerts.

Very nice open market for fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, sausages, jams, honeys, bread, cakes, juices, and other regional specialities. Prices are not excessive but certainly not cheap. There's a good selection though. If you want to see all stalls open, you should come earlier than the indicated closing time, as not all stalls stay open until the end. The market is easy to be accessed, as there's a tramway stop just there (for the Graz opera).

Great choice of wares but by far the most expensive farmers market in Graz which is why I would never recommend it

I love this marked. Always fresh seasonal fruit, vegetable, meat and self made bread to find. All grown by local farmers around the area. Very sustainable and traditional place. On every corner you will find a different good smell to every type of food you can imagine. They also sell flowers there, If you need some for a special event. If you need to rest you can sit down and get fresh cold smoothies, juices and coffee or hot chocolate. I would recommend to bring either your own bags, backpack or a box to put in your bought items, otherwise you have to waste many plastic bags...and who does that at a farmers market. The market is in the city centre and well connected to public transport, and bike lines. This is for sure a great place for every type of person in every age group.

A lot of local products, like pumpkin oil (kurbiskeröl), meat products, etc.

My absolute favorite farmers market. Lots of different shops, great selection of local seasonal food. You can really walk around and get inspired to cook new things you maybe haven't tried before. I go every week!

You should definitely visit this market in the noon, it's located near the park in front of the opera with nice architecture. Locals selling here their self made stuff. After skaters take over the place and show off their Flip tricks

Really enjoyed browsing through the wonderful photo-images of this unique market, reminiscing about childhood memories. GRAZ ~ the City of my Grandparents, favorite Aunt ... & Cousins. The City of my best School-Holidays ever!!! Sentimental greetings from Canada 🇨🇦♡🇦🇹

Hipsterish vegan place. Healthy food—the bowls were really delicious, better than a bagel (my personal opinion). The greenhouse is located in a quiet alley. If you want to hide from the city noise - good place to be.

Lovely vegan cafe, great food and great coffee!

A cosy vegan Cafe in the center. I've been coming here for years. Great coffee, great food on the healthier side. I usually order the chocolate porridge/lux bagel or the greenhouse Bowl. The cakes are also lovely, probably the best vegan cakes around.

Everything looks so tasty it's hard to make a decision on what to order! We will definitely come back a couple of times to not miss out on anything!!

We came for breakfast and i have to say i am impressed with the taste, quality and staff. All was perfect, ambient is amazing and relaxed. The portions are ok. The one thing i disliked is the pricing and thats why i cannot come here again. Its a bit of a price overkill for me. Otherwise i would be here everyday. I advise the cafe for sure!

The Green House is the old town coffee shop of the Ginko – vegetarian restaurant. In other words the Green House is a great coffee shop, a happening place for young people of this vibrant university town, Graz. This place is in one of the little passages in the old town of Graz. Here is also the patio located at. The apple pie and sour cherry-chocolate cake we had, as well as the Linzertorte, this very Austrian marmalade cake, were very delicious. The seating is comfy and the atmosphere is nice and comes with many vintage elements. There are even books to read (children’s book). The staff is nice and represents the spirit of this place. The prices are reasonable, given the location and the quality of this healthy vegetarian food at the Green House. From Graz with Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

Delicious! The coffee was great, the space is beautiful (I loved the plants!!!) and the cakes were very tasty. I would come back to try their bowls!

Even though it says here that the bar closes at 22:00, and the employees admit as much, if you come there at 21:30 you won't be able to order a glass of wine. They just want to go home earlier.

It was very unpleasant when we came to have a glass of wine after a concert at the Philharmonic, at 21:30, and the waitress told us that the hall is empty and they were closing. I reasonably remarked that the hall is not empty if we were there, but the mood was already ruined, although according to the rules they were supposed to close the place only after half an hour. It feels like the employees don't care about the reputation of this place 😒

What a discovery, great location, the owner is a Sommelier and was super helpful and informative, she introduced us to Sammling by Pilch and their Sauvignon, we bought a bottle of the Sammling and have ordered more wine from Pilch. If you are going in the evening I would suggest booking as there maybe an event

Good service, good quality wine, there are snack plates.

"Can I brighten your day with another glass of wine" I didn't catch the name of the waiter but I am incredibly impressed with the skill and professionalism of the staff here. It's a shame the number of stars I can give only goes to five.

Everything was great Lovely staff Good wine

Lovely place in a quiet shady courtyard. My lentil salad was a perfect lunch with a glass of white wine. Recommended.

Cappuccino and a bagel were very good. Service was friendly. Atmosphere great for relaxing, chatting or working.

This is my dear friend’s favorite coffee shop in Graz, and I totally understand why. Not only is their coffee strong and smooth, and their food delicious, but it’s such a nice place to hang out. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, and we sat near the window to be able to look outside and people watch. It was so pleasant. I also loved the baristas made a little smile face art on the latte I ordered. It was so good, smooth and tasty. They had a little bar where you could add sugar and some flavorings to the coffee (my American self very appreciated this). They even had chocolate powders. Last, the bagel sandwich was YUM. A poppyseed bagel with pesto, tomato, spinach and egg, so fresh and delicious. They had a lot of tempting baked goods and sweets as well.

Great coffee and lovely spot to enjoy the winter sun. Really liked their bagels, I thought the one with Weisswurst was super creative and tasted great!

one of my go-to cafés in the city. the coffee is always super tasty, and the service is impressively fast — way quicker than most places around. staff are friendly and really know what they’re doing. the space is cozy, nicely designed, and just has a good vibe overall. great place to grab a coffee or hang out for a bit. definitely worth a visit.

The tastiest cheesecake (we’ve eaten it three days in a row haha), super attentive service, great variety of bagels, water with apple/carrot/lemon/mint at your discretion, perfect location, nothing else needed 🤍

I stayed at the Hotel Weitzer and came here for excellent coffee every morning. I also had 1 or 2 pastries with my coffee. They were excellent - fresh, flaky and tasty because they were made with real butter. The staff are super friendly. It’s a great place to linger with your laptop or to read a newspaper or magazine.

We had coffee and cake. Its a very happening place. Lots of options for pastries and desserts. Nice cozy place to hang out

I had the best scrambled eggs in Graz here! (The scrambled eggs with veggies and ham - but instead of ham I asked for cheese). We came here for breakfast. The waitress was very friendly and even the other customers were friendly! The clientele is older, I think we were probably the youngest people there (in our mid-30s) but I liked the more classic and traditional feel of the place.

We were using our phones to translate the menu when a super friendly and helpful member of staff came by and told us about the daily lunch specials and introduced other items on the menu. The food and coffee were great and the atmosphere is super comfortable and relaxing. Definitely recommended if you’re in Graz!

Service was really really slow and unfriendly, even for Austrian standards. Sat inside on a sunny summer day and it was quite peaceful as there weren’t many other people, also lovely seating outside. Toilets were dirty. Wouldn’t necessarily be back.

Beautiful cafe. They have a vegan breakfast option. Top coffee with oats milk. Elegant and peaceful.

An excellent place to spend some time enjoying. Good coffee, friendly staff. The cakes looked good although I didn't have one, kind of wish I did!

Like the interior style The kindness of service stuff was above average pleasant experience

Waiter ignored us even though place was completely empty. Waiting for 15+ min even after inquiry with barista. Prices on meny looked fishy and higher then Graz usual so maybe better this was a fail.

Nice place, nice food and nice people! Customizable burgers, fries, salads, pizza, kartoffel and many kind of beers! The portions are so big and the prices are more than good! The two waiters were so friendly, even one of them translate all the ingredients from German to English for us! We really appreciated that! Totally recommended! If we come back to Graz, we will come back to the Bierbaron for sure!

Nice young people, various kinds of beer and perfect for catching up with friends. Highly recommend if you are in town :)

Good burgers and pizzas for very good prices

Location: as it is close by the University there are lots of youngsters. Restaurant: in a wooden style and a little bit dark. They have a small outside area with about 7 tables. Employees: were nice, young and friendly. Bathroom: was Okey..

Another nice place where you get a form to choose your pizza toppings, pasta and burger ingredients. You can also mix your own cocktails here using a form :) great place to go as a group/ alone, friendly people and great atmosphere!

Perfect bar for hanging out with friends, for drinking biers. It's always full of people, the prices are ok. The food is really tasty (especially the Spätzle) and cheap, big portions. Nice and young staff.

cozy pub for casual eating. it's one of many 'students' restaurants where you can put together your own pizza, burger, toast, salad and many more. prize is cheap and the food tastes delicious. i am going there regularily. just do it!

Charming little coffee shop in the beautiful city of Graz. The owner and her daughter were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They recommended the Colombia V60, which turned out to be perfect for our taste, also tried the cappuccino, which was skillfully made and thoroughly enjoyable. Though the seating area is small, it’s definitely worth a stop for any coffee lover. We picked up some beans to take home. They also offer a great selection of coffee equipment at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Sadly this business used to have a cafe at a different address, and post-covid only has this shop-in-shop offering, where the coffee machine is teeny tiny and the barista doesn’t know what a flat white is. Everyone was friendly - but the photos and reviews from two years ago are vastly different to today’s offering.

I bought two bags of beans based on the suggestion - and was not disappointed, tasted very well and the price was very acceptable. Recommended, I will definitely come again once I will be in Graz.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Recommended for every filter/nonfilter lover. You can also buy the coffee beans they roast there. The only problem is no bathroom, as mentioned in couple of reviews before.

Probably the best coffee in Graz. There's not much seating space, but it makes for a cosy atmosphere, which is augmented by the old vinyl records that provide a nice background soundtrack. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Only downside is that there's no bathroom.

I researched this place beforehand and was really looking forward to visiting. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. I ordered a filter coffee that took almost 15 minutes! They were somewhat busy, but there was 3 guys working and people who ordered after me got more complicated drinks (cappuccino's, latte's etc.) before I got mine. When I finally got my coffee to go, it was literally HALF full. It tasted good, but for the price, I expect a full coffee. They also do not have bathrooms, and the place is so small that I would be surprised if it could accommodate 10 people. I was very underwhelmed and do not see myself coming back here.

I'm reviewing my experience with Buna in the Fesch'Markt, NOT the place downtown. 1st of all extraction. Espresso UNDER EXTRACTED. Guatemala beans should bring chocolate, toffee sweet flavors. Should be soft and gentle. His extraction was SOUR, lacking creams, without any complexity nor in the flavors nor in the aromas. 2nd. Experience. NOT very friendly. I asked about description for two different coffes, each from a different country of origin. The answer was: The brand... With all due respect, but a proper barista should explain about the notes of the coffee, flavors, aroma, taste in mouth, notes and under notes, where the coffee is harvested, what height, big lots, small lots, etc... So, as a coffee geek who have tried specialty coffee all over the world, I can't recommend it. Hopefully it was just one time that things were not working out for them.

Just had our Christmas party in there and it was a fantastic experience, with a very good wine and food amazing!

Food is excellent here. I’ve had the deer and the chicken and then the chorizo dish that they give you because they want to charge you five euros for the napkins. The lunch special is probably the way to go, but it’s also a nice place for a romantic dinner. One star deducted or not having soap in the women’s bathroom. Only men were working in the kitchen, so I guess I didn’t worry on the hygiene aspect as much, but then if only men are working for the business, that creates its own set of issues.

A nice hidden gem in a lovely building, with nice atmosphere inside and a quiet garden terrace outside. The choice is not huge but the food is fresh and tasty and the service friendly. A safe choice if you wish to enjoy a good diner/lunch. Reservation is a must by sunny days

(Translated by Google) We have already become regular guests at the regulars' table at Paulustor, and not without reason! A very attentive staff with the best advice! Changing, exciting offers on the menu and a cozy atmosphere should be mentioned! The quality of the food is mostly excellent. Special mention should be made of the incredibly good desserts! For that should be sure to leave space! (Original) Wir sind schon Stammgäste im Stammtisch am Paulustor geworden, und das nicht ohne Grund! Ein sehr aufmerksames Personal mit bester Beratung! Wechselnde spannende Angebote in der Speisekarte und ein gemütliches Flair seien erwähnt! Die Qualität des Essen überwiegend hervorragend. Besonders zu erwähnen sind die unglaublich guten Desserts! Dafür sollte man unbedingt Platz lassen!

(Translated by Google) Two wonderful dinners, the second was necessary because some dishes on the menu had intrigued us too much not to try them. Pampered by the waiter, delighted by the chef and comforted by the environment we spent two wonderful evenings and we forgot about the pouring rain that had somewhat ruined the visit to the city. Honorable mention for the wine list. Unfortunately they close on Sundays otherwise we would have definitely spent another evening here! HIC MANEBIMUS OPTIME!! (Original) Due splendide cene, la seconda si è resa necessaria perché alcuni piatti del menù ci avevano troppo incuriosito per non provarli. Coccolati dal cameriere, deliziati dallo chef e confortati dall'ambiente abbiamo passato due serate splendide e ci siamo scordati della pioggia battente che aveva un po' rovinato la visita della città. Menzione d'onore per la carta dei vini. Purtroppo chiudono la domenica sennò avremmo passato qui sicuramente un'altra serata! HIC MANEBIMUS OPTIME!!

(Translated by Google) Incredible restaurant... I had a real beef soup there; it was one of the best I've ever tasted! The main courses were also exceptional and delicious, something you rarely find in Graz! The staff are friendly and well-trained, and everyone there knows their stuff when it comes to wine! I highly recommend this restaurant! (Original) Unfassbares Lokal ….. Habe dort eine echte Rindsuppe gegessen denke eine der besten die ich jemals gegessen habe ! Auch die Hauptspeisen waren einsame Sonderklasse und ein schmackofatz wie selten in Graz zu finden ! Die Mitarbeiter freundlich und gut geschult auch was den Wein abgeht kennt sich dort jeder aus ! Wirklich zu empfehlen dieses Lokal !

(Translated by Google) Incredibly good food every time; the chef knows what he's doing! The exceptionally friendly and motivated staff and the wonderful courtyard make it a dream event location. I can recommend it to everyone. (Original) Unfassbar gutes Essen jedes mal, der Chefkoch weiß was er tut! Das außerordentlich nette und motivierte Personal und der wundervolle Innenhof machen es ausserdem zu einer Traum Eventlocation. Kann ich jedem empfehlen.
