seven swans menu overview
Nestled in the heart of Frankfurt am Main, Seven Swans offers an extraordinary dining experience defined by its adventurous and exclusively vegan tasting menus. This minimalist yet inviting venue prides itself on using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients often grown in their own meadow, crafting dishes that are both innovative and deeply rooted in the region's flavors.
starters
The menu begins with a selection of vibrant starters that showcase fresh, crisp vegetables and delicate herbaceous notes. Guests can enjoy the subtle crunch of fennel paired with peppery radishes, the tangy brightness of sorrel, and fresh greens in the "Fenchel mit Radieschen, Sauerampfer & Grün." Alternatively, the "Kohlrabi mit Rhabarber, Trester & Estragon" offers a nuanced blend of kohlrabi and tart rhubarb accented by the earthiness of pomace and aromatic tarragon. For a sweeter profile, the "Karotte mit Rosine, Lagerapfel & Essig" combines tender carrots with raisins, aged apple, and a splash of vinegar for a lively contrast. Other starters include the rich savoriness of wild garlic with purslane, mountain cheese, and white bread, the smoky barbecue notes enhanced by wild herbs accompanying fresh asparagus and shallots, and the unique Douglas fir paired with quark, verjuice, and dill for a fragrant twist.
desserts
Concluding the meal is a thoughtfully curated cheese variation sourced from the surrounding region, providing a refined end to the tasting experience. This dessert reflects the restaurant's commitment to local ingredients and showcases the depth of flavor found in regional dairy specialties.
drink pairings and specials
Seven Swans elevates the tasting menu with expertly curated drink pairings, including both selected German wines and innovative non-alcoholic options designed to perfectly complement each course.
