Enjoyable cuisine on the theme of „regionality paired with Mediterranean ingredients“ is what guests experience in the neat restaurant rooms
Glass house, country house, apple country and regular place. The restaurant terrace with a Mediterranean flair
and the restaurant garden on the orchard meadow let you feel a holiday feeling in the countryside.

Good food makes you happy!

When the head chef, Johann Unger, and his team cook in the modern cooking workshop with a lot of love and passion with the best ingredients, you can taste the difference immediately!

We are grateful for the treasures of the “Feinkostladen” Austria, 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 your guests authentic Styrian cuisine – from the region, for the region.

Have a nice meal and pamper your palate!

In addition to the variety of regional delicacies, our guests also love the Mediterranean specialties, fish and seafood from private suppliers from our neighboring countries – the result is a diverse range of dishes with alternating seasonal specialties and themed weeks.

And the range of wines is impressive! Selected domestic and international wines and a first-class range of the best quality and single-site wines adorn our cellar.
