The Area 5 is a great place to be, if you want to get on top of Graz, on the rooftop to be specific. It's an ideal refuge, if your feel the itch to get out of the city and staying in the city center at the same time.
The Area 5 has plenty to offer: The food here is excellent and very reasonable, since it is a classic students hotspot. What makes the Area 5 special is their concept which is ultra-convenient. They call it the Bausatzsystem (building kit system) in which you choose for your meal the toppings you like in checking the boxes on the menu.
And the lists are plenty and long. This you do with all they offer and they offer a lot: it ranges from all kinds of breakfasts, burgers, spaetzle-pans, toasts, grilled meat plates, noodles, to salads, and the best of it you can choose almost every ingredient/topping yourself, and the toppings are about 30 to choose from. So your stay in control of your food.
Life is a building kit system, as the tag line goes :-)
They also offer an extra sheet of cocktails to choose from according the same Bausatzsystem.
The panorama view over Graz is marvelous and you get up close to the old town in a way you cannot have when you are on the streets of the old town, also with a marvelous view onto the Grazer Schlossberg (Graz Castle Hill). The Area 5 is also ideal for the evening hours, as the Area 5 has marvelous opening hours, closing not before 2 am everyday, and serving food until 1 am.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, mostly students themselves as many of the guests. I got my bacon and eggs with fresh onions and Greek feta cheese.
With Love!
