Der Steirer
A popular local spot famous for its fried chicken and Styrian tapas, also operating as a wine shop, with value-for-money recognized by Falstaff.
Located on Belgiergasse on the west bank of the Mur River, this restaurant specializes in traditional Styrian cuisine. It underwent a light renovation in 2025, but the dishes remain classic. The signature dish is the fried chicken served with a pumpkin seed oil salad, alongside boiled beef (Tafelspitz) with bone marrow and seasonal "Styrian tapas." The standing bar, Steirer-Theke, serves smoked pork, cotechino sausage, goulash, and more. It received 85 points in the Falstaff 2026 guide. Open daily, with third-party menus showing the fried chicken at around €17.5. Booking is recommended during peak dining hours. It is within walking distance from the Old Town across the river.
