The Gerüchteküche (rumor mill) in Gartengasse is a hidden gem for all those looking to rediscover vegan cuisine. In a quiet courtyard in the heart of Graz, guests can expect a multi-course surprise menu at the highest level. Only plant-based dishes are prepared, using ingredients from the region and a keen sense for creative flavors. Each dish tells its own story, presenting seasonal products in exciting, often fermented forms on the plate.
The dinner starts for all guests at the same time and is served communally. This creates a special atmosphere that feels more like a cultural experience than a classic restaurant. The sequence of the menu varies depending on availability and is intentionally not disclosed in advance. Those who wish to join must reserve ahead and pay in advance. The concept is clear, minimalist, and intentional.
Accompanying the menu, if desired, are carefully selected natural wines or equally exciting non-alcoholic pairings. The service is personal, the ambiance simple yet stylish. The Gerüchteküche is a place for all who appreciate sustainability, craftsmanship, and plant-based culinary excellence at the highest level.
