Historic restaurant in Graz serving Styrian cuisine since 1550. Vaulted Renaissance cellar provides atmospheric setting. Traditional dishes featuring regional products. Known for excellent wine selection from local vineyards.
Landhauskeller occupies a vaulted Renaissance cellar in Graz's historic center and has served Styrian cuisine on this site since 1550, giving it one of the longest continuous histories among the city's restaurants. The stone-vaulted dining rooms, with original Renaissance-era architecture intact, create an atmospheric setting that immediately signals the restaurant's age and heritage to visitors. The menu focuses on traditional Styrian dishes, with fried chicken prepared in the regional style and Käferbohnen salad, made with the area's distinctive brown beans, among the most representative orders. An excellent wine selection drawn from local Styrian vineyards complements the food, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to showcasing the surrounding region rather than a generic Austrian menu. The setting is popular with both tourists visiting Graz's historic core and locals seeking a traditional meal in an exceptional setting, and its central location within the Landhaus complex places it among the city's most visited historic sites. Reservations are recommended, particularly for dinner and during peak tourist season, given the combination of historic appeal and reliable Styrian cooking.
