aiola upstairs

After a vigorous ascent to the top of Schlossberg in Graz, my visit to Aiola Upstairs was nothing short of a rewarding experience. The panoramic views from the restaurant are truly breathtaking, offering a spectacular vista over the city that enhances the dining experience.

The food at Aiola Upstairs was absolutely delightful. The menu's variety caters to all palates, and every bite was a treat to the senses.

Equally impressive was the service; the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They took great care to ensure that our meal was enjoyable, providing recommendations and attending to our needs with a smile. Their professionalism added a personal touch to our meal that made the experience even more special.

In conclusion, Aiola Upstairs is definitely worth the visit. The combination of delicious food, stunning views, and exemplary service makes it a must-visit destination for anyone coming to Graz. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot or a place to relax after exploring Schlossberg, Aiola Upstairs will not disappoint.

I spend this year with my partner new year's eve at Aiola Upstairs and we were complettly satisfied. At first we were convinced by the cozy atmosphere and by the view over Graz. We arrived at the restaurant and we have been welcomed immediately by staff, which has been acting and working through the whole evening very profesionally. For the new year's eve you could only order the 9 course menu with an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage pairing. We loved the food, the taste and the look of each course have been fantastic. Another thing to highlight was the wine pairing. Each wine was carefully choosen for each course and it has been always a match.
At midnight we could enjoy the view from above the skyline of Graz and we had a drink to celebrate the new year.

In conclusion I reccomend to every couple, to visit Aiola Upstairs for the new year's eve dinner.

Visited a bakery machine supplier in Graz. They brought me to this restaurant situated on top of a hill. We took a tram up to reach the restaurant. The food is great, service is out of the world. I would like to comment the waitress who knows her wines so well. As per images I bought 4 bottles back to my house-stay. Up there, you have a sky scraper view of Graz city. This is a beautiful place of visit, not too overcrowded with tourists. The people in Graz are very kind.

View is very nice. You can see graz city. we had hot choco and apple strudel, it was really good. It's like baked apple pie.

Staff are attentive and friendly… food are just good the way it’s should!!!

Excellent place to enjoy your evening with a glass of nice wine and a beautiful view of the town.

This café sits beautifully atop the Schlossberg and you can choose to sit outside to have a city view outside in the evenings or for a quick dose of daylight. We were there for a small coffee date, and ordered a hot chocolate and a cappuccino, and they were both good.
Lovely ambience. The staff was kind too.

The service and ambient are perfect, but the food is even better! Ask for the charming grey-haired waiter, he's the best! 😉

If I would recommend a view over Graz with delicious food - it definitely Aiola. Unique is their open room concept as they can move all walls down in the ground so that the whole restaurant is open air - perfect in summer nights

We had late breakfast. Amazing views. Recommand this restaurant to everyone, especially on a sunny day when you can sit outside.

Simply breathtaking views. Delicious food. Great service. 10/10 want to go again.

Excellent location and ambiance. Friendly staff. Food is well-prepared. I enjoyed a relaxed Sunday afternoon here.

The best anniversary dinner we have had. Our hostess, Sandra, was warm and kind. She even gave us a small bottle of sparkling wine when we told her it was our anniversary. The food was fresh and very good. The crème brûlée was the highlight.

Food was very good, service was amazing, price was incredibly high!

*Do not come here hungry. This place will burn a hole in your wallet, but your tummy will be very happy 😊

Absolute best breakfast i've ever had. The chef is an artist.

The waiter an absolute darling.

Cant wait to visit again

Loved the experience and food. It's truly magical in winter and the evening. The atmosphere was cosy, the food tasted great, and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend this place for dinner the view and lights are just spectacular.

After 30 minutes of pushing the stroller up the hill on a cold windy day this place was pleasant surprise. Cosy inside with beautiful view of the Graz city. What really makes this place to stand out is the food. Simply Delicious. I was enjoying the dance of the tastes in my mouth and boy what a performance that was. The only cons is that they don't serve my favourite coffee and it's pricy. Highly recommended.

A great place to have a coffee or something to eat after a long walk at the Schlossberg. I took the ice cream coffee and I really enjoyed it.

Had a great meal here with a lovely view and friendly staff. Note: it gets really cold if you're sitting outdoors at night, but they do have some blankets available...

Aiola Upstairs was a memorable experience! The host let us sit where we liked, and with rooftop views of beautiful Graz, there isn’t a bad seat in the house. We were fortunate to be served by Nikola, who was honest and helpful. His recommendations were excellent, which along with his friendliness, contributed to a pleasant dining experience. The food consisted of fresh ingredients, and was well crafted and presented. We had the Tuna 2-ways to start, which was refreshing and presented well. For our entree, we had the White Wine Risotto, with prawns, which was delicious and satisfying. You’ll want to lick the plate clean. The music and ambiance also contributed to making it an enjoyable experience. Nikola was courteous and dutifully attended to our needs. I highly recommend checking it out sometime, especially when the weather is nice, and the sky clear, so you can enjoy the beautiful views of Graz that it offers as well.
