Santa Clara

Graz


Santa Clara eschews a regular menu structure or set prices per dish – there's simply a nightly buffet of Italian-style antipasti. Teamed with a bowl of soup and a glass of wine, it makes for a satisfying dinner without the schnitzel bloat. The types of antipasti vary, but fish and vegetable dishes are well-represented.

Service is serene and serious, but Barbara Schwender and her team are also warm and welcoming.
