Ginko — Restaurant in Graz

As an adventurous food-lover who follows the beat of the world’s best bites, discovering Ginko in the heart of Graz is like stumbling upon a vibrant oasis of vegan culinary creativity. Open, airy, and welcoming, the café floods with natural light, inviting you to explore its colorful, self-service buffet island—from crisp, seasonal salads to thoughtfully prepared warm dishes, all made with conscious care and priced by weight.

I delighted in mixing and matching a plate of beautifully fresh salads, hearty mains, and a fragrant soup—each bite felt honest and thoughtfully composed.

May 2022. Great spot for all likings (and dietary requirements). Kids & dogs welcome. Ginko is an all-vegan buffet-organized restaurant, most of the dishes are gluten free.
