Top choice in Graz
This cracking restaurant atop Schlossberg has fabulous views from both its glass box interior and summer terrace. Even better, the cooking up here is some of the city's best, with chefs putting a novel spin on regional, seasonal and global ingredients in a skilful act that takes you through ravioli and gnocchi to a selection of red meat and fish specialities, and a vegan curry.
Plus there's a precise regional wine list, perfect sundowner cocktails and some very pleasant people-watching.
