Café Fotter • Graz — Restaurant in Graz

A lovely café with it's own character, a very cosy atmosphere, a beautiful rose garden during the warm months and very nice staff. I used to like coming here for breakfast on Saturdays every now and then, but last time I came they had unfortunately changed their menu. Instead of the normal menu you can now only order a €21 multi course breakfast. There are different options for what you get in that, but otherwise you can only order individual drinks, like coffee or tea - the previous, individual and smaller items are now off the menu. I wouldn't mind the price for a special breakfast or brunch with friends, but for me and actually half of our group, this menu was just too much, so half of us were unpleasantly surprised by the change and had just tea/coffee without food and we probably won't be back on weekends under these conditions. The service was also very slow last time (both for checking up if anyone wanted something else and for bringing out the food), but they were as friendly and...

We remained polite and respectful the whole time but this encounter definitely left us in shock. As an expat mother, an experience like this can affect you very deeply and change your perception of a place. In the end, we stood at the door step and ate a cake as I had promised my little boy...

A very nice place for a coffee and for a date too 😉. They have both indoor and outdoor graden seating. I like the outdoor garden seating which is very peaceful and green. If you are fond of writing or programming, just bring your accessories and their wonderful coffee and cakes take care of your brain. You can also book a table online or just come drop by. As this cafe is in the vicinity of University, you will find many young minds occupying tables. I also tried their cheese cake 🍰, which is fresh and taste good. I would recommend a visit to this one of the oldest...
