Der Steirer Graz

About

Der Steirer, tucked into the historic district of Graz on Belgiergasse 1, is a vibrant hybrid of authentic Styrian restaurant, cozy wine bar, and bustling tapas bar. Since the early 2010s, the establishment continues the legacy of the 1910 wine tavern founded by Hans Weitzer, offering a relaxed atmosphere where guests can savour hearty local dishes while exploring an extensive selection of Styrian wines. The menu features a daily lunch set from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, fresh tapas, and a diverse array of traditional Styrian specialties such as Goulash, Backhendl, and Kaiserschmarrn. The kitchen remains open until 11 PM, allowing diners to enjoy dessert or a late‑night smile with a glass of locally produced wine. One of the restaurant’s signature draws is its “Kupferkeller” wine cellar, which showcases more than 20 bottles from renowned Styrian vineyards, including late‑season releases and limited‑edition cuvées. The “Backhendl” and “Tapas” stations provide both vegetarian and pescatarian options, complemented by an allergy‑friendly labeling system that adheres to EU Codex requirements. Families, couples, and pilgrims of gastronomic adventure alike delight in the warm, homely décor, while business professionals routinely use the space for informal lunches. The establishment is open daily from 11 AM to midnight, with special evenings hosted by the chef that feature rotating “Tagesgericht” (daily specials). Reservations are highly recommended—even mandatory during peak travel periods—through the official reservation portal. The friendly staff assist guests from 11 AM to 11 PM in the kitchen and beyond, ensuring a seamless and immersive Styrian dining experience.
