Old Lemon Tree — Restaurant in Klagenfurt

Strolling into Old Lemon Tree feels like discovering Klagenfurt’s most enchanting Mediterranean hideaway. The vine-shaded courtyard, along with softly lit interiors, wraps you in quiet charm before you even glance at the menu.

Every dish whispers comfort and creativity—from the artfully crafted pasta and savory risottos to the tender sauces and delightful desserts, including vegan and gluten-free selections. The weekend breakfast menu, with fresh croissants and their signature omelette, invites a slow, delicious morning. Attentive, friendly service adds warmth—and while the “no dogs inside” policy might catch some off guard, the food and atmosphere more than make up for it.

This was by far the best dining experience I've ever had in the area!

Our host was very welcoming and just awesome! The food was exceptional! There aren't really words to describe how tasty it was. You have to try it yourself!

The ambiance was really cozy as well and decorated with lots of cute details.

In summary it probably doesn't get much better than that & I can't wait to...

We would definitely eat here again and will recommend this restaurant to...
