Der Steirer

Whenever we visit a concert or event in Graz we usually stop by here for a hearty meal. The restaurant is usually very crowded to booking in advance is recommendable. The food was good. We had "Schweinsbraten" and "Wiener Schnitzel". Both quite delicate, yet in my opinion more on the dry side. Nothing bad, we just opted to order a little more sauce on the side which was no problem at all after asking for more. We will definitely be back and try some desserts on the next trip.

Great Styrian options with exquisite choices. The veal is tender and succulent. The fried chicken is a surprisingly great choice for something sinful. Very homely and welcoming atmosphere for a Boxing Day lunch.

Der Steirer delivered a beautifully curated dining experience with an ambiance that blended rustic Styrian charm with a contemporary, soulful warmth. We enjoyed the sweet potato gnocchi in saffron ginger coconut cream, a dish that felt both inventive and comforting. The truffled celery cream soup with puff pastry sticks was refined and deeply aromatic, and the Wiener Schnitzel from veal stood out with its classic authenticity. A thoughtfully crafted atmosphere paired with memorable flavors Der Steirer truly captured Graz’s creative culinary spirit.

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

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!

Very good food, service and atmosphere. Nice and cosy place. Very simple online reservation. City parkgarage near the place. We'll be back! I'm touched in negative way with bad coments about people who works here. Service is very good, very deacent people. I don't know what gests want from people who served them. All recomanded!

Great food, ordered 4 different dishes, each was better than the other. The house beer was fine

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
