Reviews Summary

Diners praise Herzl Weinstube for its authentic Styrian cuisine, generous portions, and excellent value, with many highlighting the delicious pumpkin soup and Kaiserschmarrn. The cozy, traditional ambiance is also a major draw. However, some reviews mention slow service during peak hours and inconsistent experiences with desserts.

"In Austria, it’s hard to find a place to eat late, but there are spots like this one where they wait for you all evening. The cheerful staff guides you through a maze of rooms to your table and is always ready to help you choose delicious dishes to feast on. And the food? It’s absolutely exquisite. That’s actually an understatement. The flavor and texture of the ingredients are stunning and exceptional, whether it’s a potato, bread dumpling, stew, or sauce. Traditional Styrian dishes at the highest level. The service is delightful, and the prices are low. I tip my hat and recommend it to everyone."

"Visited in May 2024.
A cozy place loved both by locals and tourists. The interiors are nice, I absolutely loved the forged lamps with colored glass. Kind of sets the right atmosphere.
I ordered pumpkin soup (4.9€), tea (2.6€) and Kaiserschmarrn (10.9€). The prices were great! Even after the slight increase in prices in 2025, the prices stay one of the most affordable restaurants in the city. And taking into account the quality of the food, the value for money is really good.
Unfortunately, I forgot to ask to bring the tea with the dessert, so It was served first.
The pumpkin soup came pretty fast, and it was the creamiest, silkiest, tastiest pumpkin soup I ever had! The spices were complimenting the vegetables, the cream and pumpkin seed oil were a great addition, the croutons were crunchy.
When I finished the soup, the Kaiserschmarrn was served, and it was HUGE. I would recommend ordering it when you're not alone, it's almost impossible to finish it all alone.
In Herzl they serve Kaiserschmarrn with plum compote, and it's a wonderful combination of sweet and sour flavors. The dough was airy, fluffy and tasty, the strawberries were delicious and added freshness to the dessert, I wish there were more!
This was the best meal I had during the three days spent in Graz, thank you, Die Herzl team!"

"Absolutely loved this restaurant. Flavours were amazing. The chicken breast in a Mushroom sauce was exceptional. This is how good food should taste with soft chicken, strong well balanced flavours and a hearty mixture of vegetables in the dish. The Mushroom sauce was the star and everything just had to be dipped into it!
My slow cooked beef ribs were not what I expected, but the dish was excellent. 1 big fatty ribs and two melting beef pieces all tender and juicy, with roasted sweet potatoes asparagus and a nice sauce on the side. You had ti squeeze the asparagus centre out of the tough exterior shell to enjoy its soft and sweet core, yum! I dipped the sweet potatoes in the sauce which was s flavour i can't describe, but i loved it. The recommended drinks queue perfectly with the dishs.I wish I could go back"

Restaurants in Carinthia and Graz

Located in Mehlplatz, one of the oldest squares of Graz, Die Herzl restaurant opened in 1934 and is known for both its tavernlike atmosphere and its traditional Austrian cuisine. Seasonal entrées are mixed with typical Austrian dishes such as gemischter salat (a mix of cucumber, potato, and sauerkraut on lettuce) or the gebackener Camembert (fried Camembert cheese served with tart berry chutney). Drink local Austrian wines such as Grüner Veltliner and Welschriesling (white), or Zweigelt and Blauburger (red).
