Kulinarium Steiermark: a variety of flavours between alpine pastures and vineyards

Steiermark is known as Austria's delicatessen region - with products such as beetle beans, sheep's noses and Murbodner beef, which are grown between the Ennstal mountain pastures and the vineyards of southern Styria. This diversity characterises a cuisine that ranges from hearty alpine snacks to gourmet menus.

Kulinarium Steiermark consultant Willi Haider has selected 209 gourmet establishments that offer the highest quality and genuine regionality. Whether for a short culinary holiday, a gourmet trip through Styria or a visit to one of the many regional restaurants: Anyone who loves genuine, seasonal food characterised by the region is guaranteed to find what they are looking for in Styria. Because here, flavour is deeply rooted in the region.

All Kulinarium Steiermark huts at a glance

Styria attracts visitors with around 1,660 Alpine pastures and the Almenland Nature Park, one of the largest Alpine pasture areas in Europe. At the huts, you can enjoy regional specialties such as homemade cheese, fresh alpine butter, hearty snacks and warm delicacies from cheese dumplings to venison ragout. There is also clear mountain air, sweeping views and real moments of enjoyment while hiking or skiing.

Delicious products straight from Styria’s nature

Perfect conditions and highly motivated agricultural businesses make Styria’s fields particularly prosperous. Apples, pumpkins and grapes are well-known regional products that local restaurants use to create their exquisite dishes.
