Wirtshaus zum weißen Kreuz

The inn "zum Weißen Kreuz" on Heinrichstraße has been telling the story of Graz's taverns for centuries. The old wood, the pictures on the walls, and the warm islands of light create an atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. Today, the house is run by a young, modern team that brings fresh energy with their experience while preserving the character of the establishment. Hoodie meets wooden bench - and it is exactly this mix that creates the special charm.
In the kitchen, the Weiße Kreuz remains down-to-earth while also being open to new ideas. Classic dishes are complemented by contemporary vegetarian and vegan options that are carefully prepared and clearly composed. The service is attentive and warm. At noon, there is a changing menu, while in the evening it becomes lively and cozy.
The proximity to Karl Franzens University brings students, neighbors, and regular guests together at one table. This creates a place where tradition remains alive, and a young host team shows how a historical tavern can function today.

Tip:
The hosting team also operates "The Underground Kitchen," an event catering format with live cooking and creative concepts. The team brings regional quality to unusual locations and provides culinary surprises at corporate events, pop-ups, or private occasions.
