Frankfurt-am-Main Restaurants

  1. Eckhaus

    The smoke-stained walls, the iron fan above the door and those ancient floorboards all suggest an inelegant, long-toothed past. We love this place, others say the noise level snaps their nerves. The hallmark Rösti (shredded potato pancake), large servings of tasty salads and other main courses have been served in this restaurant-bar for over 100 years.

  2. Gebrüder Bauer

    Yes, there really are two Gebrüder (brothers), and they look pretty much the spitting image of each other. This place established itself quickly on the Frankfurt scene because the food, wine and other drinks are delicious. It's very gay and everyone-else friendly, and the brothers do a great and affordable take-along picnic basket (order ahead).

  3. Grössenwahn

    The food in this upmarket pub-restaurant relies on pure flavours and the wine seduces your tongue into parts of your mouth you didn't know were there. The downside of this wonderful Frankfurt institution is that the air can be shocking at times, especially if someone's tugging on a cigar or a pipe at the next table. Stylish modern German cuisine with plenty of international extras are the order of the day.

  4. Prielok

    Without claiming to be something special, this place somehow is: loyal regulars, students and those on payroll tread a path here for traditional fare. No wonder: Pielok has been dishing up reasonably priced home-cooked meals for over 60 years.

  5. Zum Gemalten Haus

    The colourful facade and the paintings inside give this apple wine tavern the edge on many others. Try local specialities like Handkäse mit Musik , the smelly cheese that keeps reminding you, and everyone around you, just how charming Frankfurt can be. The enclosed yard becomes an outdoor restaurant in summer.
