Distinguished by Gault Millau: 4 Toques (17.5 points) | Falstaff: 4 Forks

“Zur goldenen Birn” in the Parkhotel Graz is a stage for royal enjoyment. Head chef and chef-pâtissier Jan Eggers and sous-chef Patrick Slamanig transform historical recipe records from the k.u.k. crown lands into an eight-course gourmet menu, presenting long-forgotten dishes in new elegance. Creations like Blanc Manger or the “Potato King” bring the flavors of past eras to the present with fine craftsmanship.

The menu, available in vegetarian or vegan upon request, is a choreographed sequence where each course acts like a chapter of a culinary narrative. Alongside it, an exquisite wine pairing is ready. Served in an elegant setting, each plate appears like a masterfully staged picture.

Local producers supply the high-quality ingredients used in this fine dining experience. Thus, a place is created where royal cuisine is not only rediscovered but celebrated at the highest level.
