Frankfurt

Frankfurt, a central German city on the river Main, is a major financial hub that's home to the European Central Bank. It's the birthplace of famed writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose former home is now the Goethe House Museum. Like much of the city, it was damaged during World War II and later rebuilt. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is the site of Römerberg, a square that hosts an annual Christmas market.

Observation deck
In Frankfurt, there are numerous attractions and activities to explore, including the Main Tower. This skyscraper offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city from its public viewing observatory. Visitors can admire iconic buildings such as the Commerzbank Tower, Deutsche Bank Twin Towers, and Trianon while taking in the 360-degree vistas. Additionally, Main Tower features a restaurant and bar just below the observation deck, providing an opportunity to savor both cuisine and scenery.
Breathtaking 360° View of Frankfurt – Well Worth the Visit! An absolutely stunning 360° view of Frankfurt awaits you from the rooftop! It’s one of the best places to take in the city skyline from above. Tickets can be purchased directly at the entrance—€9.00 for adults. The staff was very friendly and professional. While there can sometimes be a queue at the entrance, it was thankfully quiet when I visited. Security is well organized—your bags are scanned before heading up in the elevator. There’s even a toilet available on the 54th floor, just one level below the rooftop, which is convenient if you need it during your visit. Overall, it’s a must-do in Frankfurt, especially if you’re into cityscapes and photography. Highly recommend visiting on a clear day for the best experience!

Great views from up there, but it was way too windy. the ticked was only 9€, the linie to buy the ticket there was not long, the people that work there are super niceee Ofc its worth to go up there once you are in Frankfurt, i would prefer it nights too.

Amazing views of Frankfurt! The Main Tower Observatory is a must-visit — super fast elevator, friendly staff, and the view from the top is incredible. You can see the whole city, the river, and even the hills in the distance. I went during the night and the view with city lights were beautiful. Totally worth it! It’s €9 for adults to go up the elevator with unlimited time at the top. So you can stay as long as you want. You will need to go through a security checkpoint first before getting on the elevator Overall, extremely worth the view if you are in Frankfurt!

Worth visiting once. There will be sitting area as well. I recommend once. No time limit for staying top. Camera is allowed. Beautiful view from the top. Ticket price is 9€ per person. Toilets available.

Totally worth the visit! The view from almost 60 floors up is breathtaking, you can see all of Frankfurt and beyond! The platform feels safe and open, and the atmosphere is amazing, especially at sunset. A must-see if you’re in the city! And you go by elevator ofc! It takes 1 minute to go up. Also it has discount with Frankfurt ticket.

If you’ve been up to an observation platform on a big city building before, they all do seem to be similar but still fun. The Frankfurt main tower is no exception with some great views and an overly slow security and ticket process which you should allow extra time for. There are bathrooms up top and people are all friendly and willing to help take photos.

A great observation tower offering a full panoramic view of Frankfurt. There’s an enclosed platform, and if you climb a bit higher, you’ll reach an open-air deck. A family ticket costs €20 — definitely worth visiting!
Ieva Z — Google review
Lovely view and all that but the viewing platform (vp) was very icy and dangerous (we were warned however, not that it makes it better). There are 3 flights of stairs AFTER the lift to reach the viewing platform (vp) that you are not informed about until you have to climb them. A lot of the buildings we wanted to know about were not featured on the maps around the vp (can't please everyone) however, when using the 'more details' QR code available I was presented with this message...

Historic Site of Goethe's House where he was born and spent his young life. Multiple languages available for explanation on items displayed through an APP. I recommend you bring your headphone/bluetooth. Tickets are €12 per adult. They have a family rate. You need to be able to walk up and down stairs a lot. Enjoyed the visit as I do admire his life.

Combination of two museums under one roof: historic birthplace of Johann van Goethe and museum of German romanticism. Striking difference between meticulously restored residence of the poet with attention to details and period’s furniture and modern part of romanticism museum. If you are short on time, Goethe’s old house is a must and also first floor with paintings of the other museum.

Fascinating museum with great renovations! The house looks beautiful inside. They give you a map, which makes it super easy to explore each room. There’s also an upper museums with lots of interesting exhibits and interactive things to see. Definitely worth visiting! You can get a discount with the Frankfurt Card.

Visiting the Goethe House was such a great experience—it truly feels like stepping back in time to see how Goethe lived. Every corner of the house is filled with history: the kitchen displays old dishes you may have never even heard of, the games they played are still there, and the architecture and atmosphere are unforgettable. Even the smell carries a sense of the past. I wish homes like this were still being built today, but sadly times have changed. We only had a short layover in Frankfurt, and since it was on a quiet Sunday, visiting here was absolutely worth it.

Had a 12 hour layover and decided to visit this museum. It was money well spent and an afternoon of delight stepping into every room and space of Goethe history! I love the old grandfather clock that still works and the chime thrills through the house of Goethe, standby every half hour. We kept missing it. Piecing together the story of Joseph in one of the rooms was therapeutic esp for someone who doesn’t speak or read German. Thank God for google translator. The visit has a calming effect like as though I was brought back in time. The large glass frontage featuring the garden offered two perspectives. One from the front and the other from the inside looking out. After all isn’t the arts about perspective?? There’s a cool and ancient water fountain that I manage to refill my water bottle. It was refreshing to drink from the tap and the charge of 24€ for two person was well worth the ticket price. We got more than what we paid for. There was also a special corner where I could place a music score on a special device where I could listen to narration of the music composition by Robert Schumann and actually listened to the music being played. It was interactive and amazing. Love the modernity without compromising the beauty of historical arts and the subtlety of tech being used. Totally awesome!! For those with bags in tow rest assured there is proper storage for you to be hands free. Storage is free.

Art gallery
The Städel Museum is a renowned art gallery in Frankfurt, Germany, featuring an extensive collection of European art from the Middle Ages to the present day. It is one of the must-see attractions in the city, offering visitors a journey through seven centuries of artistic expression. In addition to Städel, Frankfurt boasts other cultural institutions such as MMK for modern art, Liebighaus for sculpture, and Schirn for modern and contemporary exhibitions.
It is nice museum with multiple floors, famous art, and contemporary selections as well. We have spent the whole day. Toilets are nice and clean. The person at the first place before stairs was very informative and friendly 💐👍😀. Lockers are nice and have 1 or 2 € deposit. Roof top was nice. Strongly recommend seeing this museum 👌. It is a bit expensive though, 16 € per person.

this is definitely a museum that you should take the time to see. They have three floors a various artist and art. It’s quite pricey. It’s €18 per person which I find expensive. entrance. People at the cashier were very nice. They were helpful. They also have bathrooms which were very clean a gift shop they also had a small café with a lovely young lady behind it who could speak English I’m always happy when that happens since I don’t speak German and I ordered a piece of the apple pie which she recommended and it was delicious and a cup of cappuccino. It’s a nice way to spend 2 to 3 hours enjoying the beautiful art.

Was skeptical it would be worth the 16 euro entry fee but for what you get, the price is reasonable or even cheap. The sheer scale of this place and the range in its collection is mind boggling. Beautifully curated. Temporary exhibition that was on at my time of visit was also very thought provoking. Exhibits range from religious paintings to contemporary paintings to sculptures to photographs and multimedia. I almost missed the underground exhibits but 100% make it a point to stop by. The modern experimental art is incredible (funded by various German institutions I believe). Genuinely could spend hours there. You can casually see famous artists works displayed. Lovely staff as well. 10/10. That’s how you do an art museum!!

Fantastic art museum with a strong mix of German masters and international icons. You’ll see everything from Renaissance to contemporary art. My personal favorite: “Youth Tempted by the Vices” by Luca Giordano — dramatic, full of energy, and unforgettable. A cultural must-see in Frankfurt!

An overall pleasant space surrounded by beautiful architecture, artistically designed staircase leading up to the rooftop terrace, overlooking the River Main and Frankfurt’s skyline. Stadel didn’t seem to have as many star attractions as some of the larger museums, but Schuch and French Art exhibition was an interesting theme. I downloaded their app to see if that would work as an audio guide, but it unfortunately didn’t work.

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Frankfurt Cathedral, also known as Kaiserdom, is a stunning Gothic-style Catholic cathedral that boasts Renaissance frescoes and offers panoramic city views from its tower. It was once the tallest building in the city until skyscrapers like the Main Tower and Commerzbank Tower surpassed it. Dedicated to St. Bartholomew, this Roman Catholic church played a significant role in the Holy Roman Empire's elections and coronations.
Beautiful cathedral. Really enjoyed the experience. I went to the top of the tower, the staircase is really narrow steep and long so be prepared for a bit of a hike but once you are at the top it's a full 360° view of the city. The price was quite reasonable I believe it was €5 per person but I could be mistaken. 10/10 if in Frankfurt this is a great place to go. There's also lots of historical buildings in the vicinity including places to eat or grab coffee. Great place to spend an afternoon.

recently visited Frankfurt’s main square and it was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful historic buildings create such a charming atmosphere, taking you back in time with their unique architecture. What truly amazed me was the sound of the church bells – so powerful and mesmerizing that it filled the whole square with a magical feeling. I even recorded a video to capture the moment, but being there in person was beyond compare. A must-visit spot in Frankfurt, full of history, beauty, and soul.

Beautiful and awe-inspiring cathedral in Frankfurt. Majestic structure which has peculiar aesthetic finish, especially inside it. What strikes a visitor first is the marvellous collection of statues and paintings. It is not very spectacular when viewed from a distance but when you are inside you are wonder-struck at the great assemblage of rare statues and paintings. The tall columns and arches all add to the grandeur of the cathedral. The picture of St Bartholomew being flayed alive gives a shudder to you.

Frankfurt Cathedral (German: Frankfurter Dom), officially Imperial Dome of Saint Bartholomew (German: Kaiserdom Sankt Bartholomäus), is a Roman Catholic Gothic church located in the heart of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. Quite unique as an cathedral, as the entire architecture was painted in ♥️ red; and the famous story is that all the surroundings were mostly destroyed during WWII, but not Frankfurt Cathedral.
Bill L — Google review
It's a place to be! First church here was built in 7th century! And particularly this cafedral was fully built in 1550 and saw many kings of the Wholy Roman Empire crowned! If you compare the pictures from 17 century and nowadays, you feel the importance and richness of history of this place! By the way, being here is not about Christian or whatever, this is about enriching yourself culturally! I stress it from my non- Christian background!

Took my girlfriend on a date here and would happily return for more (both to the girl and the garden). The ticket price is well worth the experience, and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to escape the cityscape into a lovely area of natural beauty. My only complaint was that it was so popular that many other people had the same idea I did, resulting in some over-crowding in a few of the areas. But overall, it receives 5 stars from me and a desire to return to lose myself there in the future.

Vast, almost otherworldly botanic gardens. Fascinating any time of the year if you have any interests in plants and botany. I went in autumn and the park was radiant with autumn colour. I went round clockwise from the Palmentgartenstrasse side and the think this was best. Started with nice lake views then onto the butterfly house and then the mind boggling greenhouses with various climate controlled zones.

We had some time to waste before a flight and this was the perfect place - in fact it might become a routine to spend time here to finish the yearly Europe stay. Very well mentioned from the grow houses to the passways and bathrooms. It would be amazing if one of the snack stations had vegan options on the menu (might have overlooked one?) Very friendly staff around, too. Thank you Palmengarten!

A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of Frankfurt – Palmengarten Review I visited the Palmengarten on a sunny afternoon and was completely enchanted. Nestled right in the heart of Frankfurt, this botanical garden is an oasis of peace and natural beauty. From the moment I stepped through the gates, I was struck by how well-maintained and thoughtfully curated everything is. Each greenhouse tells its own story—from tropical rainforests and desert landscapes to exotic blooms I had never seen before. The palm house in particular is stunning, with towering trees and a warm, humid atmosphere that instantly transports you to another world. What really made my experience special was the sense of calm that permeates the entire garden. Even though it’s a popular spot, it never felt overcrowded. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax, and the pathways are wide enough to wander at your own pace. I especially enjoyed the rose garden and the lake area, where families and couples were picnicking or just enjoying the view. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or simply looking for a serene break from city life, Palmengarten is a must-visit. It’s suitable for all ages and offers something year-round—lush greenery in summer, colorful blossoms in spring, and atmospheric strolls in the cooler months.

Vegan restaurant
SEVEN SWANS is a Michelin-starred vegan restaurant located in the narrowest house in Frankfurt, offering a cool and minimalist dining experience with a stunning view of the Main River. Chef Ricky Saward focuses on regional, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients, with produce sourced from their own permaculture farm. The tasting menus feature adventurous vegan dishes paired with wines, showcasing creative combinations that may seem unusual at first but harmonize fantastically.
This meal was outstanding. Each plate and paired beverage are carefully thought out, with fresh grown or picked ingredients. Every time a new dish comes out, it is explained thoroughly by the chef in German to the room, or English to your individual table. You’ll see there are only a couple of reservation times each day, because the experience does take a full 4 hours. We were lucky and got on the waitlist the day before, and a space did open up. I’ve read that reservations are usually booked months in advance though, so consider this if you’re planning a trip. Unless you’re dying to try the selected German wines, I would opt for the non-alcoholic pairing (shared between two people to save some money). Each venerate is so creative and tastes match the plates perfectly. Also, water is not included in the meal or beverage pairing, so you’ll have that additional charge. NOTE that the drink pairing does NOT start until the main courses start, so you will be charged for the first glass or two of wine. This was not shared in the moment, so I would ask first when offered a beverage. I was shocked when the bill came, perhaps naively, because of the above few sentences. If you have the money and time to spend, I would 1000% recommend this experience! And pick the chef’s brain with all your questions :)

An Outstanding Culinary Experience – Beyond Fine Dining! From the very moment we stepped into the restaurant, it was clear that we were in for something truly special. The atmosphere was modern and stylish, yet warm and inviting—creating an ambiance where you instantly feel at home. The entire team was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and radiated a passion that made the experience even more memorable. The menu was a true masterpiece of plant-based cuisine: creative, locally sourced, and bursting with flavor. Every ingredient was of the highest quality, prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The beverage pairings were just as impressive—both the wine selection and the non-alcoholic alternatives were thoughtfully curated. The sommelier's storytelling turned every wine and no alcohol drink into an experience, making even unconventional choices intriguing. While, for me only, the 2004 Rheingau Riesling stood out as an absolute highlight and the sparkling aperitif too. The non-alcoholic pairing was nothing short of spectacular—far from simple wine or sparkling substitutes, but rather a selection of handcrafted creations full of depth and complexity. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s a sensory journey. A plant based culinary experience that redefines fine dining and stands apart from traditional Michelin-starred establishments. We were absolutely blown away and will definitely be back. An absolute must for every plant based gourmet enthusiast—simply outstanding!

The place is small, kind of cosy but there is really not much space inside, especially in the staircase. The service is great and the waiters were very much attending. The food is overall good and we appreciated the concept of using regional and seasonal ingredients, but there were two major problems leading to this average rating : 1. The food, but especially the broths were simply too salty We are used to go to Michelin-starred restaurant, and we never had such salty food. 2. The wine pairing has to be rethought totally You are serving about 10 dishes and for every dish, 1 glass of wine. This is far too much. At least show the menu that will be served and the wines that will accompany them before to start, so everyone knows what they will get and if they want to skip a glass or two. Also please note that the prices for the menus and the wine pairing were not informed at the beginning of the dinner. For transparency, you should disclose information before dinner starts.

Excellent food and dining experience, unfortunately they somehow contaminated the dessert course with tree nuts. I have a tree nut allergy and we let them know prior to the meal. I understand that things happen, but I started having a reaction and they treated my allergic reaction as though it couldn't have been caused by the kitchen...... Anyway, we enjoyed the dining experience but for 450 euros, I was not impressed by how they dealt with the situation.
Nate A — Google review
The most intense, flavorful and extraordinary food you can get. Everything is vegan and locally sourced, most of the ingredients are grown in their own meadow. (Many of the guests are not vegan, but they are in search for something outstanding.) There is a single seasonal menu with 7 courses and 2 pre-courses. The chef is a genius -- "plant-based alchemy" may be an apt term for his art, extracting aromas out of trees and flowers, making gels, foams, combining the ancient with the modern in techniques and flavors. Two tips: take the alcohol-free drinks with the menu because you'll never find anything like these unique creations anywhere else (the staff will, on request, happily give you small tasting portions of the wine menu if you have FOMO); and dare to get in contact with the other guests of the small group you're dining with 😁 you may find extraordinary connections.

From the very beginning, being greeted with a superb Apéro at the bar, getting to know our host of the evening and a first introduction to the small bunch of other guests, over all those insanely well thought-out and precisely crafted courses, paired with fitting wines (only tasted on sip each) or alcohol-free but no less flavourful alternatives, to chef Ricky's (+ team) warm but professional way of guiding us through this exceptional experience.. thanks you all, and we'll be back.

Adolf Wagner is a charming tavern that captures the essence of traditional German dining. With its inviting sidewalk tables, it offers a delightful selection of hearty German dishes complemented by local wines, beers, and ciders. This cozy spot is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture while enjoying authentic flavors.
Great atmosphere and authentic vibe. The food was outstanding. The schnitzel with Grüne Soße really showcases Frankfurt’s cuisine, and the pork knuckle was absolutely delicious. The wine paired perfectly with the meal. Service could be more polite — not sure if it was the language barrier or just the attitude, but communication wasn’t easy

The place is located at reachable distance from Frankfurt South station. We went for the first time to taste the famous Green Sauce served with boiled egg and baked potatoes. There is plenty of space to sit either roadside, insite courtyard and inside building spaces. They also serve one of their kind Apple wine which is also worth trying.

Visited Adolf Wagner, also known as Apfelwein Wagner – Traditionslokal seit 1931, and it took us a moment to realise both names referred to the same place! Once we figured it out, we were glad we went — the experience was great from start to finish. We ordered the Ribs and Sauerkraut, and when it arrived, the “pork chop ribs” turned out to be exactly what we were expecting. It absolutely did not disappoint — incredibly soft, full of flavour, and complemented perfectly by the sauerkraut. We also tried some of the classic Frankfurt dishes, which were just as enjoyable. I also really liked the apple wine here compared to other places — it wasn’t too sour or vinegary. Instead, it was smooth, balanced, and genuinely easy to drink. Service was excellent, too. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted immediately and shown straight to a table despite the busy atmosphere. A wonderful traditional spot with delicious food, great apple wine, and warm service — definitely worth a visit!

Run Run Run!!! Extremely disappointing experience at Adolf Wagner — and I rarely leave negative reviews. I came here expecting traditional German food and local atmosphere, but left completely frustrated. The chop steak and pork knuckle were absolutely inedible. Both were over-salted to an unbearable degree, especially the pork knuckle — it tasted like pure brine. The food quality was shockingly poor and lacked any real flavor. Even worse was the rude and pushy service. The staff forced customers to sit together at shared tables, even though there were plenty of empty seats. There was zero regard for guest comfort or personal space. To top it off, when paying, I was pressured into leaving a tip, despite the horrible experience. Tipping is voluntary, and frankly, the service did not deserve a cent. Adolf Wagner may be famous among tourists, but it’s nothing more than a salty trap with bad food and worse hospitality. There are many better, more respectful places to experience Frankfurt cuisine. Avoid this restaurant at all costs.

Typical German fare restaurant. Crowded most times. Food excellent and good value. A little out of the way in location at Sachsen Hauzen but comfortable walk across the Main river.

Restaurant
Daheim im Lorsbacher Thal is a charming retreat located in Frankfurt, offering a relaxed setting and homestyle German cuisine. The inn features rustic wooden beams and a cozy atmosphere, providing a refuge from the city's hustle and bustle. It is known for its array of house-produced apple wines and traditional German cuisine served in the historic Haus zur Goldenen Waage.
What an AMAZING experience!! This pub & restaurant was recommended by our son from a previous visit he had. We were on an overnight layover in Frankfort, headed back to the United States. So, we thought would try it out. They did not disappoint. The food & the atmosphere were incredible. Everyone in the place was extremely friendly and invited us in. If you are ever in Frankfort, this is a bucket list stop. Alex and Stephan were great hosts.

A delightful experience I had the pork schnitzel with green sauce and it was absolutely delicious. We were a table of six and we had an array of starters to share I would highly recommend this option with the sauerkraut was so flavourful. The ambience was lovely I loved the dining hall experience it felt very open and inviting with the tables being set up together. However I would say that the service was quite slow so I would recommend getting there early so you eat at a reasonable time as we had to wait around 40 minutes for the starters and bread to just arrive.

Today, I visited this restaurant with my crew to celebrate and get ready for our upcoming events. We enjoyed traditional German beer, wine, and delicious pork and meat dishes. While talking about German food and our own national cuisine, we had a wonderful time getting to know each other better. The restaurant has a truly authentic German atmosphere, and we all had a great experience!

Thanks to the gentleman sitting next to our table, we got introduced to a traditional Frankfurt dish and decided to give it a try. He even offered me a bite, and I was honestly surprised by how delicious it was! If you’re curious about the famous green sauce or follow a vegetarian diet, definitely try it. By the way, my hubby had the Schweinshaxe and said it was the best meat he’s had during our time in Germany. The portion was quite generous for me, so I couldn’t finish it all — but it was so good I actually wished I could take the rest home. It was funny to realize there was no one on the streets because everyone seemed to be here, A must visit spot!

I had a fantastic experience at Daheim im Lorsbacher Thal in Frankfurt. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a beautiful green terrace that made the meal even more enjoyable. The service was excellent, attentive and friendly throughout. I absolutely loved everything I tried: the Obazda with Kartoffelsalat, the Frankfurter Schnitzel with Grüne Soße, all perfectly paired with a refreshing Helles Bier. To finish, the Mispelchen apricot aperitif was the perfect touch. Every dish was delicious and carefully prepared. This is a true gem in Frankfurt, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Had dinner at Daheim im Lorsbacher Thal in Frankfurt a truly local gem. Tried the vegetarian schnitzel and it was delicious, perfectly crispy and full of flavor. The place has a great authentic atmosphere and serves excellent local Apfelwein. Definitely worth a visit if you want to experience real Frankfurt vibes

Really nice spot with great vibes and friendly service. The schnitzel was fire, knuckle was a bit too greasy for me (probably just how it’s meant to be tho), and the pork rib didn’t have much taste. But the dessert? Insane. Easily the best part. Would go again just for that.

Eritrean restaurant
Im Herzen Afrikas is a family-run restaurant in the heart of Frankfurt am Main that offers an immersive culinary experience. The cozy setting with scattered cushions and low sofas creates a relaxed atmosphere, allowing diners to savor delicious African dishes while feeling as if they are on a sandy beach in Africa. The menu features a variety of authentic Eritrean delicacies, including salads, couscous appetizers, and unique specialties like ostrich and zebra meat.
I had a wonderful experience! I got there two minutes before the kitchen closed. The staff were amazingly kind, they suggested a great dish so I could taste some typical flavors. I tried a drink called AfriSpritz and loved it.(they have quite a list of drinks I wanted to try). The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. An experience I would definitely recommend and hope to come back on my next trip to Frankfurt! (Bear in mind that the kitchen closes around 21.30, at least on a week day)

This is most definitely a hidden gem in Frankfurt! We were instantly greeted when we entered the door and seated (I'd recommend you call ahead and make a reservation as this place only had one small table available when we arrived). The waitress was bilingual and extremely helpful, and the food was packed with flavor.

Such a beautiful restaurant! The indoor seating area is thoughtfully designed with several cozy corners. The location is quite convenient as it is located close to the main train station.

Good Eritrean food. I was missing a bit of variation of food and it was a bit overpriced. But there was a wide variety of drinks of South African origin and a very attentive staff

The indoor of the dining was very nice and vibey music but I was surprised by the service. As a solo diner I was seated within 5 minutes arriving to a bar-like table facing the wall. I sat for about 10 minutes before I could wave down a server for a menu since he forgot to give me one. I ordered still water, the hummus and a mixed platter. The mixed platter came out shortly and was good although I was expecting the hummus appetizer first. The server apologized and brought it out. I was surprised that it was cold hummus...it tasted like store bought with oil poured on top with cold flat bread despite the nice presentation. I had a couple of bites and took the rest to go. I was surprised to be charged for it despite getting it after my main meal. Overall, it was a fun vibe inside but wasn't very impressed with the service and the food was OK. I've had better and more traditional.

Excellent food, service, and experience. Schnitzle, sausage, the sauerkraut was EXCELLENT ans the beer was amazing (there is only one kind). Super friendly service and very traditional place. Enjoy!
Russell H — Google review
A traditional German restaurant located in central Frankfurt. We tried the Schinzel and the Schinzel salad. Simply spectacular. The dishes are generous, and the prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants. The average cost per person is €25 to €30, including drinks. Without a doubt, an excellent dining experience. We strongly recommend it to Brazilians looking for quality food at a fair price.

Food: 4.5 l Service: 4.8 l Ambience: 4.5 l Value:4.6 Will I go back? Yes! My wife and I enjoyed the food. Despite of the restaurant being full and there was only one server working, he worked very efficiently and still provided great service. Ambience was a bit loud as expected because it was a pub in the city center during rush hour. All in all we had a great experience.

Enjoyed the Frankfurt Schnitzel with green sauce, with the beer and apple wine. The apple wine tastes like apple cider. Good service too

Genuine German restaurant serving classic German dishes. Nothing fancy, big long tables. By UK standards prices were reasonable. Was very busy. Super friendly staff. It is tucked away and they only take cash, there is an ATM close by

It was a wonderful experience. The schnitzel was delicious and also the sausage. The fried apple slices with ice-cream and whipped cream was banging. Dulcis in fundo, the medler liquer was something I had never tried before and that I fell in love with. The staff was also very attentive and funny. The boss, from Serbia, was very friendly and nice with us. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to try regional Frankfurt food in a casual environment.
