Wirtshaus Thorbauer

Awarded by Gault Millau: 1 toque (11 points) | Falstaff: 2 forks | Kulinarium Styria

At the Thorbauer inn, Martin Thorbauer combines the finesse of fine dining with the familiar flavors of Styrian inn cuisine. For five generations, the family name has stood for heartfelt hospitality and a kitchen that preserves tradition while being open to new ideas. The menu features lovingly prepared classics such as beef tartare and roasted liver, complemented by the widely known Thorbauer schnitzel with crispy pumpkin seed coating, filled with ham and spicy mountain cheese.

In addition to meat and fish dishes, vegetarian and vegan cuisine also play an important role. Creations like creamy sweet potato risotto or aromatic curry demonstrate that plant-based dishes can be just as refined. Seasonal ingredients and regional products form the basis, ensuring that the dishes not only impress in terms of flavor but also reflect the proximity to the region.

The ambiance is stylish yet casual – a place where couples feel just as comfortable as families or larger groups. Leopoldine Thorbauer ensures warmth and a personal touch in the service, while fine ideas and precise craftsmanship converge in the kitchen. Thus, a visit to Thorbauer becomes a culinary experience that one gladly repeats.
