didi dorner

DIDI DORNER IS ONE OF AUSTRIA’S BEST CHEFS AND A FIGUREHEAD IN THE WORLD OF STYRIAN CUISINE. HE HAS EVEN BEEN AWARDED THE GOLDEN BADGE OF HONOR BY THE CITY OF GRAZ.

Graz is regarded as the epicurean capital of Austria, and any culinary tour of the city will inevitably lead to Didi Dorner at the Augarten Art Hotel’s Magnolia restaurant. Described as “a blend of French elegance, Italian effortlessness, and Asian respect for the product,” his degustation menu is full of surprises, offering several hours of enjoyment that whisk you away from the busyness of everyday life. Didi Dorner is consistently cited as one of the best chefs in Styria in all the gourmet guides. When you listen to him speak, you get a sense of his “philosophy” and the passion he brings to every detail of his craft.

And this top chef has put his name on the map time and again by creating even more dining experiences. At Pastificio, he gave classic pasta creations a new, no-nonsense home. In the wine tasting room, where he hosts wine experiences “the likes of which Graz has never seen before,” guests can taste wines that had never been available locally before, or were wildly expensive. “Don’t be blinded by the labels,” reminds Dorner. n
