KAISER UND SCHMARRN
TAVERN IN STUTTGART
In a quaint inner-city district of Stuttgart, the new res-
taurant called “Kaiser und Schmarrn” is a modern Aus-
trian inn. Stuttgart-based interior designer Cyrus Gha-
nai combined historical wall panelling and furniture
taken over from the predecessor, a Greek tavern, to-
gether with contemporary elements to create an atmo-
spherically dense and harmonious ensemble.
T he Bohnenviertel is one of Stuttgart's liveliest and most lovable
inner-city districts. Along narrow, low-traffic streets and small,
green squares, historical townhouses and carefully filled gaps cau-
sed by Second World War form an ensemble that is uniquely intact
compared to local standards. The ground floor areas accommodate
antique shops, small craft workshops, and artist's studios, as well as
numerous cafés, wine taverns, and restaurants. For more than 25
years, the Greek tavern called Odyssia belonged to the institutions
of the Bohnenviertel. Last year, however, the innkeeper retired and
closed his popular restaurant. Since then, the Wilhelminian-style
house dating from 1899 has been home to the new restaurant Kaiser
and Schmarrn. The inn specialises in Austrian cuisine and delica-
cies. The restaurateurs Marcel Jetter and Sebastian Gaiser serve
prime boiled beef, Wiener Schnitzel and the eponymous cooked des-
sert “Kaiserschmarrn” and preferably recommend Green Veltliner
from the Weinviertel or Blue Zweigelt from Lake Neusiedl as corre-
sponding wines. Stuttgart-based interior designer Cyrus Ghanai pro-
vided the perfect architectural framework. He freed the guest room
from all fixtures added over the last decades and uncovered the ori-
ginal wall panelling. It was restored and, where necessary, comple-
ted and then painted in a warm, subdued shade of green. Ghanai
had the benches and chairs newly upholstered and covered with a
matching fabric. The table frames were also taken over from the pre-
decessor restaurant; the old Resopal table tops, however, were re-
placed by new tops made of solid wood. Only two round tables and
the polished brass counter with a shelf are new and were developed
by the interior designer. The vestibule and new shell chairs at two
selected dining tables add highlights in pink. The new toilet facilities
are an additional design highlight. Coloured tiles, pink for ladies,
blue for gents, as well as decorative wallpapers selected with a twin-
kle in the eye make even a visit to the smallest room in the Kaiser
and Schmarrn a memorable experience.
