First up, we have my all-time favorite foodstuff from this part of Austria. No food item is as intrinsically linked to Styria or as beloved as the famous Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil (Steirisches Kürbiskernöl). An indispensable part of the culinary landscape, one of the first things visitors to Styria will immediately notice is that pumpkin seed oil is...
Styrian Horseradish (Steirischer Kren) is yet another foodstuff I love due to its pungency, something which is often missing in Austrian cuisine. I love eating strips of freshly grated horseradish which often reduces me to tears and makes hair in my nostrils flare up. Often served freshly grated, horseradish lends an intense flavor to many traditio...
One of the most popular salad dishes in Austria, the scarlet runner bean salad (Käferbohnensalat) is one of the foods you simply have to try when visiting Graz. This simple yet delicious salad consists of scarlet runner beans flavored with vinegar, pumpkin seed oil, onions (grated horseradish can be used instead), salt, and pepper. It is often enha...
Although you can sample fried chicken (Backhendl) throughout Austria, it is the Styrian variant that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Not only is Styrian fried chicken (Steirisches Backhendl) my favorite local dish, it is also one of the best foods I’ve eaten, period. It consists of pieces of chicken that have been coated with spices and l...
Another true specialty of Styria, Verhackert is a popular and yummy spread which is similar to bacon jam. It is made from smoked, finely chopped bacon that is blended with salt, minced garlic, and sometimes even pumpkin seed oil. This bacon-rich spread is sometimes sold in the form of sausages with a plastic casing, and more rarely in cans or jars....
Wine is deadlocked with beer as Styria’s favorite alcoholic tipple. Styrian wine is mainly white, though there are excellent local red wines. Styria’s best wines are produced on the unending, undulating steep slopes of the rolling hills in the strikingly beautiful region of Southern Styria. Some of the best-known Styrian wines are the Welschrieslin...
Since I’ve now covered Styrian wines, I’ve got to mention Brettljause, a wooden sharing platter with a selection of local Styrian delicacies. Omnipresent in many bars and restaurants of Graz, Brettljause would typically be served in wine taverns (Buschenschank) along the Styrian Wine Roads. A standard brettljause consists of a tantalizing array of ...
Most Styrian beer is a good quality brew of the light, continental-lager, or pilsner type. One of the most popular beer styles in the region is the Märzen, a medium body beer with a flush of lightly toasted, spicy malt flavors, and bright, glowing golden and copper-orange hues. Three of the most omnipresent beers in Styria include Gösser from Leobe...
While Vienna’s got the Sachertorte, Linz the Linzertorte, and Salzburg the Salzburger Nockerl, there isn’t a Styrian sweet specialty. Instead, we have Zotter Chocolate, the biggest and coolest independent chocolate maker in Austria. What makes Zotter unique is that they make everything in-house, from the first step to the last, and are one of the v...
Hearty and delicious are two words that describe traditional Styrian cuisine and this is perhaps no better exemplified than when eating Styrian “Pork Knuckle Soup” (Klachelsuppe). Originating in Styria, the name of this traditional Styrian soup refers to its key ingredient – pork knuckle. Other ingredients include carrots, celery, parsley, bay leav...

In 2003, Graz was the Cultural Capital of Europe and, in 2008, a City of Culinary Delights. This makes it a perfect destination for a city trip.
