The story
Hofwirt in Seckau has served authentic Austrian cuisine at Marienplatz 7 since 1603. The historic inn occupies a protected Baroque structure where festive halls meet rustic guest lodges. Chestnut trees shade the outdoor beer garden, while a separate sunny terrace offers afternoon light. Chef Lajos Rooz manages a kitchen that relies heavily on local farms.
The kitchen prioritizes regional producers for nearly every plate. This commitment to local sourcing defines their approach to traditional Austrian cooking. Diners encounter a concise selection of Styrian cuisine alongside clearly marked vegetarian alternatives. That consistent attention to ingredient quality secured a twelve-point Gault&Millau score for the current year.
A well-stocked wine cellar anchors the beverage program, providing structured pairings for the daily specials. Guests move freely between the heated interior stube and the open-air spaces depending on the weather. The layout supports both solitary lunches and group gatherings without sacrificing quiet conversation. Evening service continues until nine thirty, allowing time for unhurried desserts.
