About Landhauskeller
Landhauskeller occupies a historic address on Schmiedgasse in Graz's old town, beside the Renaissance-era Landhaus building. It suits groups better than most compact wine bars in the area, with a cellar-style setting that works for longer meals. Confirm hours and pricing directly before visiting — Pearl's data is limited, but the location is easy to reach on foot from central Graz.
Is Landhauskeller good for groups?
If you're organising a dinner for four or more people in Graz's old town, Landhauskeller at Schmiedgasse 9 is one of the addresses worth considering. The name references the Landhaus, the Renaissance-era parliament building it sits beside — a location that has made this address a reference point in central Graz for a long time. For a first-timer, that context matters: you're booking into a venue with history behind it, not a recently opened concept bar.
Graz sits at the heart of Styria, Austria's most celebrated wine and food region, and venues in this part of the old town tend to draw a mix of locals and visitors who know what they're looking for. Landhauskeller fits into the category of established cellar-style restaurants that Graz does well — the kind of place where the architecture does some of the atmospheric work, and where groups tend to feel comfortable settling in for a longer meal rather than moving on quickly.
For a first visit, the address is direct to find. Schmiedgasse is a central pedestrian street, close to the Hauptplatz and easily walkable from most of Graz's accommodation. If you're staying somewhere from our full Graz hotels guide, you're unlikely to be more than ten minutes away on foot.
The honest caveat here: the venue database for Landhauskeller is sparse. Cuisine type, price range, current hours, and booking method are not confirmed in Pearl's data. Before making a final decision, verify current opening hours and reservation options directly with the venue. Walk-in availability at cellar restaurants in this part of Graz can be reasonable on weekday lunches but tighter on weekend evenings, particularly in summer when tourist footfall in the old town increases.
For groups specifically, cellar-style venues in Graz typically offer more comfortable large-table configurations than the compact wine bars along the same streets. If group dining is the priority, Landhauskeller's style of venue is more suited to a table of six than somewhere like Glou Glou Wein- und Champagnerbar, which skews toward pairs and small groups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Landhauskeller good for groups?
Yes, Landhauskeller at Schmiedgasse 9 is a practical pick for groups of four or more in Graz's old town. The address is central and the setting suits a shared dinner format. Book ahead for larger parties — walk-in availability for groups is rarely reliable in this part of the Altstadt.
Is Landhauskeller good for a date?
Landhauskeller's old town location on Schmiedgasse works in its favour for a date — the surroundings do a lot of the atmospheric heavy lifting. For a quieter, more intimate option in Graz, Weinbar Auenbrugger may suit better if a wine-led evening is the priority.
Do I need a reservation at Landhauskeller?
Reservations are advisable, particularly on weekends and in summer when Graz's Altstadt draws heavier foot traffic. Schmiedgasse is a well-trafficked stretch, and central Graz venues fill faster than visitors expect. Book in advance to avoid being redirected.
What's the crowd like at Landhauskeller?
Expect a mixed local and visitor crowd typical of Graz's inner city — residents who know the area alongside tourists working through the old town. The Schmiedgasse 9 location puts it squarely in the sightseeing circuit, so evenings skew busier and more varied than a neighbourhood-only spot.
Is the food good at Landhauskeller?
Cuisine-specific details are not confirmed in our current data, so a dish-by-dish verdict isn't possible here. What we can say: a venue holding a central Graz address on Schmiedgasse for an extended period in a competitive old-town market suggests it isn't coasting on location alone. Check recent local reviews before committing.
Does Landhauskeller have outdoor seating?
Outdoor seating details are not confirmed in our current data. Given the Schmiedgasse 9 location in Graz's pedestrianised old town, street-level terrace seating is common in the area — worth confirming directly with the venue before booking if that matters to your plan.
What's the signature drink at Landhauskeller?
No drink-specific data is confirmed for Landhauskeller. Graz and Styria more broadly are serious wine regions, so a Styrian Sauvignon Blanc or Schilcher rosé would be a reasonable starting point to ask about — but verify with the venue rather than ordering blind based on assumption.
