Der Steirer

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.

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.

My wife, my baby, and I decided to go to Der Steirer for Mother’s Day and grab some traditional Styrian food. We did not have a reservation, and we were initially told that they had no tables. The host then said he would look to see if they could accommodate us. He quickly came back and told us that he had a table for us. My wife and I both ordered some traditional food. Service was very quick, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great. The food and drinks were well priced, especially for the area that the restaurant is in. Everything was incredibly delicious. I would highly recommend trying this place out if you’re looking for traditional Austrian food.

We recently celebrated a special occasion at Der Steirer in Graz, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The atmosphere was wonderfully cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening for two. The food was absolutely delicious, offering authentic Styrian cuisine prepared with care and packed with flavor. The service was attentive and friendly. We highly recommend Der Steirer for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience in Graz. We'll definitely be back!

♐️🇦🇹 A true taste of Viennese tradition! Tafelspitz here is served the way it should be—elegant, comforting, and full of quiet depth. The beef was incredibly tender, gently infused with the flavors of root vegetables and aromatic broth. What really elevates the experience is the balance of sides: the apple-horseradish adds a sweet-spicy contrast, and the chive sauce is a creamy, herbal touch that rounds out every bite. The presentation deserves its own praise. The dish arrives in a classic copper pot, keeping everything warm and allowing you to enjoy the broth as a starter—an excellent way to build anticipation. It’s not just a meal, but a beautifully structured dining ritual. If you’re looking for a traditional Austrian dish done with care and authenticity, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates culinary heritage and subtle, well-executed flavors.

Beautiful meal, felt like a modern twist on traditional local dishes. We had two of the Styrian tapas with bread as a starter and then the schnitzel and oven pork for mains. Beer was reasonable as well. Great service.

This place was recommended to us and it was great. The restaurant is very nice, friendly and nice service. The food was really good and tasty. Definitely worth visiting. I'll be back.

Very enjoyable lunch menu! Trendy spot, friendly staff! I have to say, it was all great and delicious. I would happily return to try more food! ❤️

Super authentic Austrian cuisine. This place is usually very busy so make sure you reserve ahead of time. Food is delicious and staff is super friendly.

This is the highest rated resto in town, and it's easy to see why: Great food, huge portions, great service and a thoughtful wine list! The styrian tapas make a great starter, the mixed salad was typically overdressed with pumpkin oil (but very tasty!) and my chicken was divine!!!

Food was outstanding! Beef Goulash and veal schnitzel were both great choices! Plan on a little more time for this delicious food to be prepared.

Without a doubt, one of the absolute nicest restaurants in Graz, and in Steria. The food is absolutely spectacular. All homemade and delicious. The service is beyond belief. I'm always treated very kindly. It usually starts with a complementary glass or two of champagne. I always try to go for their specialty... The fried chicken! it does not fail, ever! :-) The interior is laid out so beautifully, especially the room with about 3000 bottles of wine in the walls. It is an absolute must for anybody that wants to go out to dinner for an evening and congrats. Recommendations are highly recommended. They have a giant guestbook, and let me tell you, it fills up quickly.

We're here from the USA. We walked in one evening around 5:30. There were empty seats throughout the entire restaurant. We approached the host; he asked us if we had reservations, and we said no. Despite there being a plethora of empty seating, the host refused to seat us. I would NEVER recommend such an establishment! We are an affluent older couple in our 50's and 60's, and we're surprised at this treatment.

Local food, fresh taste, gorgeous restaurant. I had the weiner schnitzel, and was told this is the REAL one, made of veal. Not the fake one of pork. And I have to say, the taste was way better! The restaurant has cute and funny phrases all over, making it an entertaining and quirky atmosphere. My coworkers explained that the food was all local, even the sodas and juices we ordered! The waiter was kind enough to bring me a menu in English, which was very helpful. I'd love to go back!

We love the wine and food selections. We had made a reservation and were seated at a small corner table at entran ce of the back room - we will request something by window or in front next time otherwise a good experience.

Very delicious and nice atmosphere restaurant. We have been in Graz for a week and this restaurant is far the Best Austrian restaurant in Graz for us. Price is also reasonable, waiters are very nice too!!! We enjoyed Austrian local dishes very much in here. グラーツで食べたオーストリア料理のレストランの中では、ダントツ1番美味しかった。しかも値段もお手頃。

The best fried chicken in #Graz. It's called "Backhendl" at the Steirer. Staff a little insensitive which could be worked on.

One of the best restaurants in Graz. Very delicately prepared tables. Very good service and almost very good food. Good to be here.

The quality of food is good but the tapas portions are really tiny. So if you are going for dinner, you need to order some real food too.:-) The wine selection is fantastic and diverse. The menu changes often and has seasonal food, the only problem is there's almost no vegetarian option for the main dishes.

Der Steirer was one of the highlights of my visit to Graz! Everything we ordered was perfect, the waitress was friendly, attentive, and helpful when we needed advice. Excellent wine. The atmosphere is relaxed and trendy. A perfect evening!

Disappointment! The service is good, enviroment is nice. You can smoke and sit by window.But these windows are unopenable. The Lambfillet what I ordered isn't tasty at all. To be fair, the lamb is tender, but protion is so less(max. 250g). I don't know why, that asparagus tasted so bitter. And the whole dish cost €23.90! Totally not worth it !!!

I have been there (again!) today with my son. We were pleased by the quality of food and its authentic preparation: the famous styrian Tapas, the main dish (typical Goulash) the sweet dishes and wine selection all marvellous. Really a place where you love to comeback. However: think about reserving a table, this place is pretty crowded! At present my favourite restaurant!

one of my favourites in graz. excellent desserts and fine wine. friendly service. you cant possibly ask for more
