Fall Culture Travel :: Stuttgart's Art and Bonnie & Clyde

Cold, rainy fall days make for the best culture travel. So over the next few weeks we're mapping the upcoming shows to see.

The middle of Europe is always a good place to gaze at art, mostly because it's often raining outside. And because plenty of the world's best painters and sculptors are from around these regions, the galleries are pretty well stocked. In Stuttgart the Staatsgalerie (state gallery) is no exception, although many visitors come especially to see the outside of it with its pastel-painted modern architecture. As well as a stunning regular collection, rolling exhibitions feature greats like Monet, Gauguin and Matisse.

When you need food and drinks (and, according to their slogan, also rock'n'roll) then it must be time to head for Bonnie & Clyde near the Stöckach subway station. As well as being a hang-out for local students, it seems to attract a mixed crowd of Germans and foreigners, and the staff speak good English so you'll be able to get exactly the beer you're after--important when there are so many good German beers to choose from.

Putting Roo and Croc on the Menu

What do real Australians eat? Kangaroo steaks, emu fillets and grilled crocodile? Hardly. The Aussies we know usually snack on pizza, curry and beer, but at Sydney's Australian Bar and Restaurant in Stuttgart, the deep-freeze holds a very extensive collection of native fauna.

No bad pun of a name has been spared on Sydney's menu. The Bush Fire is a piece of kangaroo with a super-spicy sauce; there's an ironic Shark Attack dish, (no relation to shark bites gummy cnady) since this time the human attacks the shark; and we presume the Crocodile Dundee croc fillet comes with a really big knife. Unfortunately, the "Bay Watch" main course seems to come with a big piece of barramundi fish but without Pamela Anderson.

A decent selection of Aussie beer rounds out a meal on the street in Stuttgart, under those bright blue Foster's umbrellas that seem to symbolize every Aussie pub outside the country itself. We're just waiting for the day when someone opens an Australian restaurant actually in Australia. Whadya reckon, mate?
