After some friends told me about the Cooking Wu, I decided to visit this restaurant (also because i…read moream loving asian food). I was coming from squash training and the first thing i thought, was, that an evening attire would fit there better than my leisure wear. Large, dark glass windows are dominating the view from outside and the dimmed orange lights are shining through. The dining area is divided into the non-smoking area in the front, then you walk ober a small bridge, which leads over a small pond with goldfish (sic!) into the back area, where also bigger tables can be arranged, for events oder parties. Around the areas and between them there are stylized bamboo woods. Between the areas you find the most remarkable thing, the open kitchen, which offers a mongolian barbecue grill. An this works like this: At your dining table there is a card, with six different clips. Every clip stands for a sauce and is described on this card. You choose a sauce and put this clip onto you dish. Then you choose from the buffet, which offers vegetables, meat (even veal), noodles, rice, fruit Then you give your dish to the cook, who makes you your chosen food. This is then served to your table. Beside the fresh ingredients you can also eat sushi, different fried food, salads and desserts. And the best of it: You can eat all you can eat! The Slogan Relax, enjoy and fill up energy! describes my feelings the best way. The meal is good, an even if it wasn't, i didn't recognize, becaus the atmoshpere is catching you attention. Prices are usual, Mo-Fr until 17h 11,90 Euros, then 15,90.

I can't rave enough about the wonderful staff at this hotel!!…read more We got an email before our stay informing us that there was going to be a Marathon taking place in the morning after our Saturday night stay. Our hotel, which was very close to the Old Town, would be off limits to vehicles until 4:00 p.m. We were only going to be there the one night, and would need to get on the road long before that time. The email said that the normal check-out time would be extended until then. But we were worried. We don't travel light, and had no idea where we'd park, since the garage wouldn't be a viable option. We imagined ourselves playing leapfrog with our luggage through the streets of Graz. That didn't happen. Instead, when we checked in we were told that we could park in the garage, or they would park it for us outside of the Marathon zone and retrieve it when we were ready to leave the next day. And to make up for the inconvenience, they comped the breakfast buffet for the next morning, which was excellent. Our room was wonderful - spacious and modern, as was the rest of the hotel. Everyone at the desk was so genuinely friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was only a stone's throw from the Old Town. The next morning one of the staff carried all our luggage to our car, which was parked a few blocks away in an outside space. And before we left, the young woman at the desk got me a cup of coffee to go! Augartenhotel is definitely as good as it gets!

Great brewery restaurant on the outskirts of Graz. A bit difficult to get there, but tasty…read moretraditional Austrian food (pork roast, Schnitzel goulash etc.). Good selection of beers (which is of course to be expected since it's owned by a brewery). Friendly staff, too. Good value for money.
