What is more, it’s worth a look at the top spots that make Graz such a yummy place to visit, still. Get ready to find your new go-to places for food when you’re walking around the beautiful streets of Graz, alright?

1. Der Steirer: A Deep Dive into Styrian Cuisine

First up, very Der Steirer – that place is basically Styria on a plate. If you wanna know what Styrian food is all about, is that place to go, I am saying. Very traditional spot dishes are kinda made using modern cooking, just to be clear. So, I mean, think pumpkin seed oil—they put it on everything (and you’ll absolutely want them to!), really. And that roasted meats there? Unbelievable, like your granny use to make, actually! It’s the kind of place you take your time in, that place feels cozy, yet also, pretty cool, at the end of the day. The restaurant gives you some real Austrian feels from the get-go serving some real Austrian hospitality.

2. Aiola Upstairs: Dining with a View

Fancy dinner time that’s not like those same old dinner times? Okay, you want to hit Aiola Upstairs, actually. I want to stress, I mean, look at that restaurant perched up on the Schlossberg – the views alone, actually, are enough to make you say “Wow,” just to be clear. Though the food is, after all, top-notch, still. What is more, that spot cooks dishes up that, arguably, seem stylish, yet are just great tasting food. It’s arguably a must to reserve that spot when that day comes when the sun’s doing that thing of shining. After all, dinner time plus sunset over the city? The absolute ideal is to capture the best of the Austrian environment and dining experience.

3. Glöckl Bräu: Graz’s Oldest Brewery Experience

Ok, we can’t skip Graz’s oldest brewery when we talk restaurants, can we? That Glöckl Bräu restaurant is practically glued in time, you realize. Like, for reals glued into olden times, now, honestly! That restaurant serves beer that they brew right there, arguably, is why people pack it. It feels historic in there, okay, yet a bit jolly with it too, like your favorite grandfather’s spot after his favorite soccer team has won the champion league. It’s arguably the perfect joint after, after all, long walks around town. Take yourself into what Austria used to be at this legendary landmark of times gone by. Enjoy their homemade beer or try food there after a morning touring of this ancient land. Okay?

4. Restaurant Eckstein: Fine Dining in a Casual Setting

You want fine dining without all the stiff tablecloths? See if Restaurant Eckstein will tickle your pickle, anyway. Is that because it feels chill, basically, yet the food kinda looks like art, in other words. The joint takes local ingredients, or what locals label “the best the areas have to offer.” So, it blends into dishes that look great. It seems great there to come relax a little. After all, that place gets how special it’s arguably good looking, good cooking at its most easy going side for an excellent dining night.

5. Frankowitsch: Graz’s Open-faced Sandwich Pioneer

For that very bite that just goes “Graz,” actually, hit up Frankowitsch, ok. So, I’d be happy to tell anyone this spot does sandwiches (open-faced ones), ok, they do them like nobody else’s, I am being deadly serious. Is that spot a tradition there, seemingly people just grabbing these snacks. I’d call the business the home to be cozy feels in town, that spot feels cozy inside yet easy going when its arguably food you’re after right away. What’s more, that little place will for reals feel part of what your own Austria experience might just possibly entail. Try to make sure this gets set down as a place you eat something at. Feel as though you traveled Austria during these traditional moments while consuming Austrian gastronomy. You’re gonna be a legend doing it. Right?
