Top choice in Graz
Delightful Promenade is a Graz institution. Run by the people behind the legendary Aiola, it's a pretty, modern take on the traditional coffee house. On a tree-lined avenue in the Stadtpark, it's the perfect place for weekend breakfasts – eggs or savoury plates – or for an afternoon spritz and a few of the smart little tapas-style dishes.
Later it's all about the cocktails with an extensive gin menu that makes that obligatory park-side G&T something of an adventure.
