Where to eat: the 10 best restaurants in Riegersburg

Wonderful experience at this restaurant! They have also for vegetarians 🌱 so that they will not be left out😉. My favorite is this pork chop with crunchy skin🤤. Their location is also beautiful. Check my photos for more details!

Amazing food, very nice view and great atmosphere. Downsides were: No glass of water for the coffee, and while most waiters were really nice, one older woman was a bit rude. Also, sparkling water was quite expensive - but in the end, I had a good time!

Very nice outside space. Good traditional Austrian food. Excellent value for money . Must try Saure Zunge and Bradlfett. :) VERY friendly service!

plant based options at a place like this are rare. the plate included homemade smoked tofu, lentil patty, bean patty, three different non-standard spreads, fresh veggies, beans, and bread. all regional, no avocado, no hummus (I count that as a plus because usually you're lucky to get one of these but their spreads are unique and quite tasty). it's certainly a place were vegans won't feel like they are eating side dishes only. they also have a vegan cake for dessert. and they don't look at you with contempt if you order any of it. not pricier than the other food either. the place was clean, the servers were friendly and quick even though it was a busy afternoon.

I didn’t know anything about Buschenschank until moving to Styria. It’s wonderful! Bernhart has many vegan items and accommodates happily to vegans and vegetarians. The vibe, hospitality and food are all amazing here.

Fantastic traditional Styrian dining experience at Weingut Buschenschank Bernhart. Even though there are many Buschenschanks and Heuriger in my local area, we often drive to Bernhart, particularly for their excellent vegan food (try the "Veggie Brettljause", a vegan twist on the famous dish with 3 delicious spreads - tomato/basil, pumpkin seed and smoked lentil -, smoked tofu, a bean salad and lots of veggies) and their amazing views on Riegersburg. Can 100% recommend!

Excellent food and wine, a beautiful view of the village and affordable prices. We are going back

Good atmosphere, delicious food, happy again to be here!

This cozy restaurant is on the shore of a lake which is also a pool in the summertime, there are more entertainment to enjoy but these times you have to pay some fee to visit. We were in the 1st of November so only the restaurant was opened but we loved every single minute we spent there, the view is fantastic with a castle in the background. As for the restaurant itself the food is awesome, the staff is super kind and helpful, the prices are okay, and they are so fast, I've never been served as fast as here, literally the food has come out in minutes AND it was fresh! The parking lot isn't too big.

A rather unique place. Seems to be part of some sort of resort with a small lake and lots of stuff to do around it. Perfect if you are coming with kids. We came without it so the stunning view was being disrupted by the noise and little ones running rampant. The view of the castle was really nice and so were the staff. But the food was…well it was different story. It is not often you get a pizza that is too salty, but the dough was so salty it was not possible to finish it. Cordon blue was okay. The side salad that came with was pretty bad - there were corb, beans, salad, tomatoes and mashed potatoes in it. Seemed like someone has made a mistake and it was clear that it was made several hours ago, drenching it with vinegar did not do it any favors either. And there was sweet jam with the chicken too. Seemed like a very disjointed dish. The ice cream was great though! Overall it is mixed bag, i would recommend going if you are with kids. The dishes and everything else seems to be aimed to accommodate their taste.

Amazing view, very nice terrace, stylish and tasty food. But: Waiters were kinda angry probably because of firefighters gathering nearby. There were pieces of ice in ice cream, which means it was defrosted and frosted again :(

Very friendly waitress - lots of books and toys for the little ones to keep entertained - schnitzel was great - overall happy we found this place :)

Super fast service, tasty food, good price

Nice food not a big sortiment, but in quality, and with a nice view to the castle. Good pricing, grate value. Recommended

The place is well-located for those who visit the castle. The staff is friendly, the food arrived very quick. I ordered chicken filet and vegetables, and it was good!

Delicious food, very good vibes and friendly team. Would definitely come again!

We had an amazing experience eating in Lasslhof. Food was delicious and service was amazing. We ordered beef soup, gulyash main course, fish dish and steak. So delicious!

Our company arranged lunch during our city tour Nice hotel Enjoyed food and hospitality

Superb place. Great food, even better wines. Staff is more than friendly and forthcoming. Was a real pleasure to visit.

Nice stop on our way to the Zotter fabric. Service good and friendly, food and atmosphere ok, would definitly go again 👍. Thanks for the hospitality 👌

They couldn’t care less about a guest sitting at the table and waiting for he menu. The waitress was grumpy at the entry, as she was doing a favor.

Super Rohschinkenplatte!

(Translated by Google) We stopped by spontaneously before we started our journey back to Graz. Great quick service, and great food. The only wine we had was the Sauvignon Blanc, but it was really good and left us wanting more. Next time we'll taste the wine list. 👍 (Original) Wir sind spontan vorbei gekommen, bevor wir unsere Rückreise nach Graz angetreten haben. Tolles schnelles Service, und großartiges Essen. Vom Wein hatten wir nur den Sauvignon Blanc, aber der richtig gut und hätte Lust auf mehr gemacht. Das nächste Mal kosten wir die Weinkarte durch. 👍

(Translated by Google) A classic Buschenschank (wine tavern) in southeastern Styria, offering good, authentic snacks and wine. The service is excellent, and there's plenty of room. Definitely worth a visit! (Original) Ein klassischer Buschenschank in der SO-Steiermark, der mit guter, ehrlicher Jause und Wein überzeugt. Das Service passt und Platz gibt es auch genug. Somit einen Besuch auf jeden Fall wert!

Sehr gute Jause mit regionalen Spezialitäten, ein freundlicher und aufmerksamer Chef – hier fühlt man sich rundum wohl.

A pleasant restaurant a short distance from the Riegersburg castle, which is popular with tourists. There is a terrace with a nice view of the castle and the vineyards below, and it is very pleasant here, especially on warm days. On the other hand, it is clear that the largest clientele are tourists, and so the whole concept is set up for them to eat quickly, as the dishes came out of the kitchen very quickly. Despite this, they tasted very good, the dishes did not need to be seasoned, the fries could have been homemade and the soup did not have to be just broth with two dumplings. But you will definitely eat here to your satisfaction and if you have more time, you can also sit here with friends over wine and good food. The service was helpful and I recommend a visit if you are nearby

amazing find!! other than the amazing view, the food was outstanding. high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation and great taste.

I love this place, staff is amazing, the authentic Austrian dishes are delicious and you get a decent portion, so no worries about going home hungry :) The view is also amazing!

One star for a great view. Otherwise a horrible experience: 40 min waiting for the food (only after reminding) that was delivered wrongly. We ordered chicken with salad but got just chicken; Schnitzel was ordered with fries but got rice instead. Quality of food average. Never again.

Fantastic local restaurant with a great view! Friendly and fast service! Great kitchen! Lots of parking. Nice relax chairs in their yard!

Real authentic Austrian foods and atmosphere. Really kind and attentive personnel. A hidden gem with great view on the nearby grape valley and the casle on the opposite hill.

Nice terrace with view to the vineyard and Riegersburg (highly recommend during warm season). All Menu is labeled with gluten free dishes. They have gluten free bread (really appreciated). Prices are fair enough. We would come again for sure!

Absolutely the WORST restaurant I have ever been to. Very pricey and the food didn't seem to be fresh. For exemple the Schnitzel seemed to be frozen beforehand. The gulash had maximum 100 g of meat and 3 buttered slices of bread and that costed 14.5. To pay for a 70 g Schnitzel 7.5 eur ist crazy. We are talking about 100 eur/kilo people. At this price you get the best steak anywhere in Graz. The burger was overcooked, the grilled vegetables though were ok. The price didn't bother me that much, but paying 75 eur for a meal for 3 adults and a child and receiving that kind of food is unacceptable. There are a lot of Restaurants near Zotter, pick something else!

Bad coffee, bad service - for inflated prices. Really “un-European “ :-) And they made a mistake on a simple coffee order and we saw others leaving half full glasses of drinks.

The worst humb/urger and chips ever !!!!! The bear was not cold and without gas. A Tourist trap - !!!!!!!

Definitely it’s a place that you should visit once in your life.

Very good food and nice ambient

Excellent

(Translated by Google) Restaurants at various leisure facilities often have the disadvantage of being "cheap" mass catering - but the ÖKO-Essbar totally stands out here. The atmosphere is really nice, you can sit on the terrace or inside and immediately feel at home there. The staff is very attentive, friendly and totally professional. The food on offer is not only regional and organic but also wonderful alongside the mainstream that is available everywhere else. In addition, the way the food is prepared is a real treat for the eyes. Any time! Clean toilet facilities! (Original) Restaurants bei diversen Freizeiteinrichtungen haben oft das Manko "billige" Massenausspeisungen zu sein - die ÖKO-Essbar hebt sich hier aber total ab. Das Ambiente ist wirklich sehr schön, man nimmt gerne auf der Terrasse oder im Innenbereich Platz und fühlt sich dort sofort wohl. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und total professionell. Das Speiseangebot ist nicht nur regional und bio sondern auch wunderbar neben dem ganzen Mainstream was es sonst überall gibt. Dazu kommt dann auch noch, dass die Art wie die Speisen angerichtet werden, dem Auge einen Hochgenuss bereiten. Jederzeit wieder! Saubere Toilettenanlagen!

The Riegersburg Taverne offers a convenient dining option near the castle, with a pleasant atmosphere and rustic charm that fits well with the historic setting. The menu includes traditional Styrian dishes, and while the food is generally decent, it may not stand out as exceptional. Service can vary depending on the time of day and crowd size, but the staff is usually friendly. It’s a suitable spot for a meal or drink after exploring the castle, especially if you’re looking for something local and relaxed.

After the climb or uphill walk and visit to the legendary castle....It's a must go restaurant to refuel yourself in all manners.

We waited over 10 minutes to order our meal, we apparently took the last available plates and were pretty cold and not tasty at all. And when I was paying the cashier told me I could not pay with card because I didn’t let her know before hand and she does not know how to undo a transaction. Not recommend at all!! Great castle but awful restaurant!

The cappuccino looks and tastes as if the cup has been slightly rinsed after the previous customer and this soupy water has been served to me. Still two stars for receiving a glass of water for free with the coffee after asking for it explicitly. It was given to me with an eye-roll.

Stunning views but the meal and especially the ice coffee tasted disgusting. How is it possible that the restaurant in a private castle is still there is out of my mind.

Food is awful, worst gulash i've ever had. Chaotic self-service restaurant This is a typical tourist trap as there is nothing else nearby where you can get decent food.

A pleasant restaurant a short distance from the Riegersburg Castle, which is popular with tourists. There is an outdoor seating option, which is very pleasant especially on warm days. We felt very comfortable here, almost like a family, at least that's what I got from the positive, smiling, good-natured service. The food was delicious, large portions, everything well seasoned. The schnitzel was juicy, not greasy from oil, homemade fries (at least they tasted that way). The pancake was excellent, not too sweet, the whipped cream was not from a spray but whipped. Finally, the grilled shrimp with toast tasted excellent and fresh. The prices are reasonable for the quality you get, we really had a good meal here and the selection of drinks is also sufficient and everyone can choose.

Perfect place, super service, delicious food! Recommended. ✌️🍷

Long wait for food, they English is poor, I don't recommend this place for foreigners

Excellent restaurant, fast und efficient service, delicious food.

It was delicious!

Local food.

(Translated by Google) As soon as you enter you are greeted with cigarette smoke. Continue to the dining room where there are tables lined up next to each other? A look at and into the buffet or warming container where there are not very attractive dishes and we lost our appetite. That's not possible!!! (Original) Schon beim Eingang wird man mit Zigarettenrauch empfangen. Weiter zum Speisesaal wo aneinander gereite Tische stehen??Ein Blick zum und ins Buffet bzw. Warmhaltebehälter wo sich nicht sehr ansehnliche Speisen präsentieren und schon war uns der Appetit vergangen.Das geht gar nicht!!!

Very very delicious food and very nice staff 😊🥰

Stopped there for lunch before visiting the castle. Shared a pizza and salad with my wife and burger for my kid. It was nice, good value and friendly service. The location and terrace view is worth it too.

Polite service, delicious food, beautiful view!

I have visited many more different restaurants in Austria but actually this one is best than others.

Good food, reasonable price

Amazing place. Staff kind and friendly. Food was delivered in matter of minutes. Pizza dough perfect, chicken in salad cooked perfectly, salad fresh and crispy. View from the restaurant is gorgeous. Love it! Highly recommend

only cash but it was very delicious pizza.
