Mohrenwirt Graz

Styria, Austria: A Region Packed with Flavour

"A traditional old-town favorite between Kunsthaus Graz and Mariahilfkirche, this welcoming spot marries organic, regional and sustainable cooking with classic Wirtshaus character in a modern-rustic setting. The menu ranges from organic fried chicken in a basket with parsley potatoes to organic lamb sugo with aubergine, polenta, sheep's yoghurt and salted lemon, and the slogan 'Come in, feel good & eat honest food' neatly sums up the philosophy. On Saturdays, Kupferpfandl—organic beef served in a traditional copper pot—joins the lineup, and a short afternoon menu (2–5pm) rounds out a down-to-earth, harmonious concept rooted in the city." - Le Guide MICHELIN

"In Graz’s old town, this Bib Gourmand favorite serves organic Austrian fare—like backhendl and lamb sugo—in a rustic, modern space with city views and a reputation for sustainability." - Caitlin Gunther

"This restaurant has the feel of a favourite neighbourhood hangout. Steeped in tradition, it is located in the heart of Graz's old town, between Kunsthaus Graz and the church, Mariahilfkirche. From the terrace, you have a front-row view of the city. This pleasantly modern, rustic-style establishment is run by Romana Maria Pieber and Lukas Lepsic, who are committed to sustainable practices and using organic produce. The menu features regional and traditional Austrian fare with modern and seasonal influences, eg organicBackhendl(breaded fried chicken) in a basket, or organic lamb sugo with aubergine, polenta, sheep's-milk yoghurt and lemon pickle. On Saturdays, there is also boiled organic beef served in a traditional copper pot. Book early to avoid disappointment! Small set menu available 2-5pm." - Michelin Inspector
