Our native Grazer friends took us here for lunch and we experienced the best Styrian food there. We both had the mushroom soups..so delicious. My only regret was that I should have tried the pumpkin soup. Our friend ordered and I sampled it. Omg... it was so good!! Our schnitzel and fried chicken main dishes were perfect! Craving these again now, but we're home and have no access to these delish Styrian dishes This place is a gem. I must visit again someday!!! read more

Randomly picked by yelp search. Food is good but service is really bad. Not recommended.

It was a pleasant experience dining at the outdoor area of Herzl. People watching, wine drinking, appreciating the international community of the town center of Graz... Drinks and entrees were reasonably priced. Wait staff were very friendly, and English-speaking. The most impressive dish was the pumpkin soup-- Rich, creamy, exotic, but not overwhelming. I had the "Herzl pan" for main course. This dish was similar to the Cordon Bleu-- goat cheese and bacon wrapped with grilled chicken breasts, presented on top of linguini with pumpkin seed, pesto, and sautéed vegetables. My partner-in-crime had the schnitzel-- chicken was very tender and the outside very crispy. We also has beer and wine and the entire bill came to about 34 Euro. Awesome meal, can't complain. Definitely recommended. read more

Die Herzl - Pumpkin soup - Austrian Near Me - Graz, 6

Needed a quick dinner at a place suitable for children and this one poped up based on reviews. The BBQ plate and schnitzel were delicious. You have to try the 3 pates appetizer. Not too pricey for the location it's at. It can get busy so plan accordingly. read more

Die Herzl is a classic Grazer restaurant. There's lots of history here and if you have time when you visit this eatery, explore inside this restaurant dating from the 1600's and check out the interesting historical exhibits. But in summer it's more fun to sit outside and they have a couple of different places to do this. Their Schanigarten in the heart of the busy Graz Bermuda Triangle is a great people watching spot....and the outdoor venue I would choose. And they have a nice assortment of beers and wines to sip on while you watch all the people walking by. But what about the food? Don't worry, it's good! They have often advertised that they serve the best Steirisches Backhendl in Graz. I don't know if that's true but having sampled it, it very well could be. This is Austrian-style fried chicken at its most delectable. But don't just take my word. Head to Herzl and try it for yourself. And by the way - the service is as friendly as the food and drink are tasty! read more

It was amazing. Traditional cozy atmosphere, friendly service, delicious local dishes. Especially pumpkin soup and schnitzel were amazing.

Very good food, but one of the services I have ever seen in a restaurant! Just spent there an hour and a half... took ages until beverages arrived, another 30 minutes until the main course arrived, not to mention they simply forgot to bring the first course... busy evening at the restaurant, but you can always have more stuff... So by the time food arrived I lost the bigger part of my appetite Potty, I won't go there again! read more

Before I start this review, I must note that I'm an incredibly picky eater, as well as inept with directions. | THE LOCATION | Die Herzl is definitely a little odd to find, so be patient. It's worth the confusion. It took me 10 minutes around the property/building to open the correct door. I will note that it's quite fun to know that it's a secret, charming gem. It's also incredibly spacious, authentic, and welcomingly cozy. The atmosphere alone boded well for a tasty meal. | THE SERVICE | As an English speaker, I am occasionally awkward with conversing in very local-driven restaurants. The servers here speak English quite well and didn't approach me as a "tourist" or treat me differently. In fact, I felt like I was an appreciated local here. Their English menu is well written and clearly explained the foods I could order. The prices are well within my college student budget for a nice treat here in Graz. I was a bit peckish prior to arriving, so I was ready to chow down. With that, I know some places are quite slow with service, testing patrons' patience. This isn't the case here. Surrounding customers were joyful with the impeccable timing; not too fast to rush you, nor too slow where you're left wondering if they forgot you existed. I ordered a second bier, which sometimes (at other eateries) takes ten minutes to arrive. It took two, and the bar is quite far from my table. This clearly showed that the employees genuinely cared about my experience and quality of it. | THE FOOD | I'm sure you want to hear about the food. The schnitzel (I had some my first day of my arrival this weekend trip) was up there with the best, and the offering of a lemon added to the flavor. The spaetzle trumped my prior one, and the generous helping made it worth the price tag. I'm a fan of simple, homestyle plating where you feel like the chef is cooking in your own home -- not the perfect plate with elegant layout. It's food, damnit. If it's good, you don't need to showcase a work of art. It looked, and tasted, like an Austrian (grand)parent cooked it. Absolutely wonderful. | IN CONCLUSION | Overall, Die Herzl made for a perfect (second to) last meal for my three day expedition to Graz, Austria. If you're a local or a traveler passing through/staying for a short period of time, you have -- no, NEED -- to eat here. It is worth every penny. *And this is coming from a picky eater who often does not try new foods. However, I would return here again and again, I would even go as far as saying I'd take the trek from my University in Florence to eat here again. My plate was impeccably clean after finishing. Tl;dr: Go here. You'll regret it otherwise. read more

We got two different foods, one was the Pork Schnitzel and the other was the friend chicken. Both were absolutely amazing, they were cooked perfectly and we so delicious. We also got vegetables and spätzle, which were so good. It was all so good and the staff was incredibly nice and on top of everything. Overall it was one of the best foods I had ever had and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting or near the city of Graz. They have something for everyone which ensures that everyone has something they like. The ambiance was also very nice and it wasn't too loud or too quite, which made it very easy to enjoy our meal read more

Die Herzl - This is the schnitzel with vegetables and spätzle. It absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. - Austrian Near Me - Graz, 6

Had the pumpkin soup and the Styrian Schnitzel. The pumpkin soup was absolutely mind blowing, and the Styrian Schnitzel is what Austria should be known for, not the Wiener Schnitzel. The Styrian Schnitzel is topped with pumpkin seeds and an amazing seasoning. The restaurant is centrally located and staff was helpful and friendly. Ich hatte die Kürbissuppe und ein Styrian Schnitzel. Die suppe war ganz toll und der Styrian Schnitzel ist etwas dass Osterreich behrumt fur soll, statt der Wiener Schnitzel. Der Styrian Schnitzel hat Kürbiskerne auf es und es ist ganz lecker schmecker. Das Restaurant ist in Mitte und das Personal ist hoflich. read more

Was recommended by my hotel as a place with a strong Austrian vibe. I explained I like to eat at the bar when traveling alone and was told they had a bar and could accommodate that wish. Upon entering the location there was no host at the door so I went directly to the bar and took a seat. I sat for at least 10 minutes prior to anyone even acknowledging my presence, even though multiple employees came through the area and I was the only one seating in the bar. Finally I was asked if I needed anything and I ordered a drink and asked for a menu. I finished my drink over the next 25 minutes waiting to provide my order. At which time a different individual asked if I needed anything at which time ordered my meal and another drink. My meal was delivered very quickly and was about average. I would not recommend this place to anyone who doesn't live here. Good Austrian vibe or not. read more

This place was a little difficult to find, but a great discovery! It has a very traditional feel, and traditional menu. As a visitor to the area, it was exactly what I wanted! I got the steireschnitzel with sides of roast veggies and spätzle. Everything was so delicious and the waiter was incredibly friendly - and accommodating despite not knowing how to speak German. read more

Die Herzl - Steireschnitzel, spätzle and roasted veggies - Austrian Near Me - Graz, 6

This was an excellent restaurant located in a great location, but not to be mistaken for those restaurants that cater to tourists and deliver less than quality. In my one week in Austria, this restaurant provided our best meal by far. The ambiance was lovely, the service was warm and friendly and the food was spectacular. I listened to the advice of other reviewers and had the pumpkin soup and it was absolutely delicious. I then had the House Pot which was extremely flavourul. My husband had the mushroom soup, schnitzel and roasted vegetables. All excellent. An amazing find! read more
