Starcke Haus

Starcke Haus is a refined gourmet rooftop restaurant and garden terrace set atop the Schlossberg in Graz, Austria, commanding breath-taking views across the city's roofscape and stretching south into the rolling vineyards of the Sudsteiermark wine region. Chef Milivoj Novak leads the kitchen with seasonal tasting menus built around fresh produce sourced from local farmers and neighbouring Italy and Croatia, creating a menu that balances upscale sophistication with warmth and conviviality. A casual cafe and wine terrace section complements the fine-dining experience, serving Italian coffee, organic teas, farm-pressed juices, and homemade apple strudel on sunny afternoons. Evening sittings run Thursday through Saturday, with lighter lunch menus offered in summer, and an adults-only apero program throughout June to August. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, celebrating shared conversation and the pleasures of mountain-top dining.
