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.
Styria attracts visitors with around 1,660 Alpine pastures and the Almenland Nature Park, one of the largest Alpine pasture areas in Europe.
