Restaurants in Frankfurt
Dinner is served with a view at skyscraper restaurants like Main Tower Bar & Restaurant, in Frankfurt's financial district. Grosse Bockenheimer Strasse, locally known as Fressgass, is the city's culinary mile, where options range from Frankfurter sausages to Asian dim-sum. Hearty local meat dishes are the order of the day at dimly lit taverns like Adolf Wagner in traditional Sachsenhausen. Gourmet cuisine is served at the elegant restaurants around Alte Oper. A tip of around 10% is expected.

Apfelwein Wagner
This familial and sometimes rowdy Apfelwein tavern may not be ideal for an intimate dinner for two, but it provides an authentic, entertaining experience found only in Frankfurt.

Ariston
Behind a handsome 19th-century facade is the best Greek restaurant in Frankfurt. Both food and decor are elevated about typical "taverna" level.

Berger Street Food
Flavor and freshness burst from the dishes at this fantastic little sushi bar with indoor and outdoor tables (and boxed food to go, too). Maki, nigiri, and futomaki rolls come in “fusion” combinations that pinch ingredients from various Asian cuisines, notably Vietnamese. The likes…$$Around Town - Greek/Macedonian
Exedra
Behind an ornate 19th-century facade is one of the best Greek restaurants in Frankfurt. All the menu offerings are reliably good. The grilled lamb with feta-cheese sauce and grilled sweet peppers, and the pan-fried veal with white-wine and lemon sauce are both excellent. As for…$$Around Town - Seafood
Fisch Franke
It’s a long way from Frankfurt to the sea, but this place manages to pull off a light-and-airy seafood bistro atmosphere just right.

Haus Wertheym

Im Herzen Afrikas
A local favorite, this African oasis in the cityscape will make you forget you're in Frankfurt. Relax on low seats and at straw tables in the sand, or slide in at a candlelit table with patrons you'll know by the end of the night. You won't find silverware here, but instead a bread…$In the Center - French
Restaurant Français
It’s a dress-up affair at the Restaurant Francais (men are requested to wear coats and ties) but that seems in keeping with the dining experience at this stylish and well heeled eatery in the grand Steigenberger Frankfurter hotel. Does it have the best French cooking in Germany? Many…$$$Around Town - International
Tiger Gourmet Restaurant/Palastbar-Restaurant
What came first, the first-class variety show or the first-class restaurant? Well, this 190-seat venue has been playing two shows a night for 25 years old, but the gourmet restaurant only took off in 2000 when Andreas Kroliks’ cooking was awarded a Michelin star. Eating here, as at…$$$Around Town
