Der Steirer

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!

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.

Great spot, thought it would be super busy, but it had many free spots. Recommend coming before six for a guaranteed spot. Their fried chicken was very juicy, we took the mushroom soup too, it was very different from the classical cream soups, it had pieces of potatoes and mushrooms. It was very comforting and cozy.

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.

We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant our first night in Graz Austria. It is connected to the hotel we stayed at, The Hotel Weitzer. A wonderful hotel and a simply wonderful and amazing Restaurant. Our business host in Graz, had recommended this hotel and restaurant to us. And we were all very impressed with the food and drinks at Der Steirer. I had the Backhendl and it was simply awesome. One of my coworkers had the Weiner Schnitzel and he said it was unbelievable and it looked amazing. Several desserts were ordered but be sure to order the Strudel and the crème Brûlée. They were both so delicious. Paul Calgary Canada

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.
