Hot stew with potatoes

Der Steirer

Top choice in Graz


This neo-Beisl (bistro pub) and wine bar has a beautiful selection of Styrian dishes, including great goulash, crispy Backhendl (fried breaded chicken) and seasonal game dishes, all done in a simple, contemporary style. Its Styrian tapas concept is a nice way to sample local flavours.

The weekday lunch special is a really good deal, and the wine of the month list highlights young and innovative Styrian winemakers. All the wines are poured by the glass too. Great beers on tap.
