21GRAMM — NOURISHING ALL-DAY DINING IN SOULFUL SURROUNDINGS

21GRAMM — NOURISHING ALL-DAY DINING IN SOULFUL SURROUNDINGS

A cemetery perhaps isn’t where you’d expect to find a bustling, cozy eatery. Yet from morning coffee to a nightcap, 21gramm is here to satiate your thirst and hunger throughout the day — pulling off each menu at a consistency that’s rarely seen at its all-day-dining counterparts. We visited one evening in early autumn, and were torn between taking a seat in the charming brick courtyard — complete with string lights and blankets — or in the vaulted interior, which owners and friends Jeremias, Daniel and Tilmann painstakingly renovated, choosing to leave a few gothic-lettered passages of scripture on the walls in honor of the building’s original purpose as a chapel. Whenever you visit, it’s all about the platter here — think creative twists on the classic cheese and meat boards for brunch. From 18-22h, a simple evening menu turns an after-work glass of wine into dinner: Our salad with flambéed goat’s cheese and caramelized walnuts was full of flavor and paired perfectly with a glass of Jülg 2017 Grauburgunder. Oh, and the name? Yes, it references the alleged weight of the soul. (Text: Anna Dorothea Ker / Photos: Pamina Aichhorn)
