Altsteirische Schmankerlstube

The Altsteirische Schmankerlstube is as cosy as it sounds: dark wood, white table runners, a homely parlour with dimmed lighting. Add to that home-style cooking and specialities from Styria. If you're lucky, you might get a table without a reservation, but otherwise be sure to call ahead and book!

Laufke
Elisabethstraße 6, 8010 Graz
laufke.net
At Laufke, a young team cooks authentic Styrian cuisine using regional products. The wood-panelled walls and old, creaky wooden floor are very charming. The centrepiece is the elegant, peaceful outdoor dining area and the bar, which specialises in vintage whiskies.
