Outstanding food and a cool concept. Food quality would be in my view on a one star level. However service is a little “hämdsärmlich” and that you are asked to keep your cutlery for multiple courses feels strange/wrong. But overall certainly a place I would visit again. Thanks for the outstanding food.

Wonderful meal with very creative food and wine parings to match. The two waitstaff working were great and accommodated me by translating all the food descriptions and wine details into English. The main course was chicken, which I would say is a brave choice for a fine dining restaurant since it’s not the most flavorful protein, but they absolutely nailed it! Stand outs from the meal were the first amuse bouche of beetroot macaroon with goat cheese, duck with crispy skins and sabayon foam, the chicken main course, and the passion fruit ice cream and brioche desert. Only good things to say about cart blanche. Would certainly return if I am in Frankfurt again.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The 6 courses menu was creative with local products in every dishes well explained; wine pairing was exceptional with discovery of great local wines.

In short, I can only recommend eating in this remarkable restaurant. I enjoyed a stellar 7 course menu partnered with several wines. The kitchen truly showed off that day with incredibly smart, creative, and modern courses. While it was exquisite dining, relax and do not worry about your suit and tie. It is a friendly, warm and casual environment.

More details:

I visited on a Wednesday evening the fully booked restaurant, luckily, I had a reservation made several days ahead. If you plan on going check the availability online!

Our table didn't plan on eating extensively that night, however, a quick glance to the neighbouring tables intrigued us. We opted for the 7 course menu instantly.

See the pictures for some food impressions.

Price wise it is found at a higher range. That also showed in the products used. As such, I was happy to treat myself. Nevertheless, there are other options available than the 7 course menu. I would compare it to other great places such as "Chairs".

Atmosphere was great, cozy, friendly and chatty environment with great staff.

As I said in the beginning, I will definitely visit again.

To the owner, keep up the creative and daring kitchen. It goes well with your great staff and atmosphere. For me, it is wonderful to see such an authentic place that is indeed about the food in an honest and non-pretentious way.
