OVERVIEW
20.21, opened in 2005, is specifically designed for its home at the Walker Art Center and in Minneapolis. The restaurant is named for the focus of the Walker’s collection—20th- and 21st-century art—and inspired by the continual innovation of the Walker and Puck. 20.21’s design, by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, as part of the Walker’s building expansion, features an intimate dining experience with breathtaking views of downtown, Puck’s signature open-kitchen, and a bronze bar patinaed to a dark chocolaty brown. Inspiration drawn from contemporary art will be woven throughout every aspect of 20.21’s sophisticated, modern cuisine for contemporary tastes.
