À la carte Restaurant Ochensberger
between Weiz and Gleisdorf, 25 km from Graz
Gourmet cuisine on the theme of “regionality paired with Mediterranean ingredients” can be experienced by guests in the smart restaurant premises
Glashaus, Landhaus, Apfelland and Stammplatz. The restaurant terrace with its Mediterranean flair
and the restaurant garden by the orchard create a holiday feeling in the countryside.
Good food makes you happy!
When the head chef, Johann Unger, and his team in the modern cookery workshop cook with love and passion using the best ingredients, you can taste the difference immediately!
We are grateful for the treasures of Austria’s “delicatessen”, because our region gives us the best and most natural products, which our kitchen team carefully prepares and refines in a modern way. As a member of “Kulinarium Steiermark“, we are one of those gourmet addresses that offer their guests authentic Styrian cuisine – from the region, for the region.
Pleasure factor to the power of 10
Go out for a nice meal and spoil your taste buds!
In addition to the variety of regional delicacies, our guests also love the Mediterranean specialities, fish and seafood from private suppliers from our neighbouring countries – the result is a varied menu with alternating seasonal specialities and theme weeks.
And the wine selection is something to be proud of! Exquisite local and international wines and a first-class range of the best quality and single-vineyard wines adorn our cellar.
We wish you an enjoyable time, because one thing is certain: whoever LIVES WITHOUT ENJOYMENT WILL BE UNENJOYABLE.
