Restaurants in Frankfurt

The Frankfurt restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over €75)
Moderate (€30 to €75)
Cheap (up to €30)
These Frankfurt restaurant prices are for an average three-course meal for one person and for a bottle of house wine or cheapest equivalent; they include VAT, but not a tip.

Some restaurants in Frankfurt might not accept credit cards and visitors should check before getting a table. Prices usually include 19% VAT. Normally, a tip of 5 to 10% is expected for good service.

Aubergine

Price: Expensive

A small and intimate, but highly rated, eatery, Restaurant Aubergine offers food with a subtle Mediterranean twist – specialities include veal kidneys in a mustard sauce and a Tuscan bean soup.

Gickelschlag

Located at the top end of Bergerstrasse, the main restaurant and bar area of the Bornheim district to the east of the city centre, Gickelschlag offers an extensive choice of traditional Alsatian cooking, from the ubiquitous flammkuchen to rich and extremely tasty dishes such as coq au vin and zander fillet with sauerkraut. Excellent value, and a good selection of Alsace wines.

Address: Bergerstrasse 257, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 9459 8522

Edelweiss

Hidden in the quarter of Sachsenhausen, this Austrian restaurant is not overloaded with Alpine kitsch but decorated in a genuine country-house style. As one might suspect, Wiener Schnitzel is served in this authentic Austrian 'Gasthaus', but there are also a few typical traditional dishes with a twist. The menu is not short of Austrian wines or its famous strong Schnapps.

Address: Schweizer Strasse 96, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 619 696

Romanella

This cosy Italian place treats every guest like family. And most of the regulars might as well be, they come back so often. If there is no space to sit down inside or in the little garden outside, they just take their favourite food home.

Address: Wolfsgangstrasse 84, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 596 1117

Chicago Meatpackers

The interior décor is eclectic industrial meets 1930s Chicago, with the focus on all things railway - two electric trains run around tracks on the ceiling, sounding alarmingly like rain. And everything else is very American, including the playful menu, filled with burgers, barbecues and brownies. An all-American experience in the middle of Frankfurt. Open Sunday to Thursday until 0100 and Friday and Saturday until 0200.

Address: Untermainanlage 8, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 231 659

Andalucia

Price: Cheap

Situated in the Bockenheim neighbourhood, Andalucia is one of those very rare places that serves traditional Spanish home cooking at its best. Its comfortable atmosphere and affordable prices attract students but also a wide range of clientele, from Spaniards and big families to businesspeople. Within its atmospheric interior of wooden tables and landscape paintings, Andalucia serves traditional tapas and à la carte dishes.

Address: Konrad-Brosswitz-Strasse 41, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 773 730

Tigerpalast

A trendy Michelin star restaurant, Tigerpalast offers live music, song and even acrobats. As well as an innovative range of dishes - with the likes of artichokes with an experimental foam or an unusual fried lobster cannelloni - the wine list is comprehensive. The more informal Tiger Bar or Tiger Bistro on the same site are options when the main restaurant is fully booked.

Address: Heiligkreuzgasse 16-20, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 920 0220

Die Leiter

The Ladder is a fashionable eating place for the young, stylish and beautiful people. Mediterranean flair and bold Italian/ French cuisine blended with an edgy, contemporary décor make this a top trendy spot in the city. Great selection of European wines and digestifs.

Address: Kaiserhofstrasse 11, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 292 121

Gargantua

Initially, Klaus Trebes, Gargantua 's chef, was determined to cook only one dish a day - like an original family-run kitchen. But popular demand soon forced him to turn Gargantua into a 'normal' restaurant. And as such, with its elegant setting, antique furniture, German ingredients-meet-international recipes and a big wine list, it has been extraordinarily successful.

Address: An der Welle 3, Frankfurt, Germany
Telephone: (069) 720 718
