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! Dr. Dr....
Read moreLocated in the City Center at the Jakomini square you'll find Area 5. The entrance is a bit hidden. You'll have to walk into the Shopping Center "Steyrerhof" Main entrance, then turn left and take the lift. At level 5 - there it is. You can sit inside in the "Restaurant" where they serve Pizza & Co. or go to the upper floor - the roof-deck. Here you'll find a bar too and a very nice view over the City. Especially when it's time for sunset. 😉 It can be very crowded at times, but still I would give it a try, especially when the plan is to sit on a nice terrace and enjoy a drink. The Service is very nice too. The food itself is okay, but if you are more than 3 people I do not find it too nice to have dinner, since space is rare here. But - as one likes it. Still a recommendable place for...
Read moreWas it just me or this place is just the best place in all of the Graz! As soon as we arrived, staff came up to us and with SUPER friendly approach they helped us with with our order. Considering that we don't know a lot of German and there were a lot of other costumers, the waitress stayed with us to show us the menu.
After we ordered our pizzas, not much time passed until it arrived. And oh boy!! This guys really know what they are doing!! I couldn't believe that an costum order pizza could taste better than any other I had before! The doe was crispy, not dry at all and just with a mild taste so it can compliment all the toppings.
Go crazy with your order. I'm interested what you will find in your...
