We here stopped for some cocktails on our last day in Frankfurt. They have a nice, big outdoor seating area with lots of umbrellas and shady trees. Our waitress spoke English which was great since our German isn't the best.

She came to check on us twice which was pretty impressive for a restaurant here :)

The cocktails were very refreshing and the service was very good.

Amazing service. Showed up on a Friday night no reservation but waited about 15 min and got a table. All other restaurants wouldn't even let us wait. They had menu's in English. The lemon cucumber cocktail was amazing. A good amount of food for about 20 euros and drinks were about ten euros a drink.

We ended up grabbing dinner here as the place across the road that we planned on going was full. I have to say it did not looking overly tempting, more wine bar than restaurant, but it was busy and seemed to have a buzzy atmosphere so we headed in.

Staff were super friendly, but almost in an over bearing over friendly "I want a tip" type of way. Weirdly they did not take card so I had to then leave and head up the road to a cash line and then go back. It was freezing so it was not a great start.

On to the main course... The food obviously. I went with the duck special. It was a lovely duck breast with pasta. It really was tasty and I was pretty surprised to be honest. It came out quick, it was a small portion and the plate looked a bit of a messy, but I can't deny the food was lovely.

Really mixed picture for this place. Lots of uneven edges with things I did not like, but the dish I had was excellent. Probs 3.5 stars really, but not got that option. So three.

Good and solid Restaurant. Lack of starter but very good main dishes.

Service:
Extraordinary good service. The waitresses and waiter are helpful and really pay attention to you. Even if you mess up your table (because you are not so good at eating burger), they'll clean your desk in a hurry so you dont get yourself dirty. No need to wave wildly at them, the just come as if they could feel your need for a new drink in some magical way.

Food:
Why are there no starters on the menue? Doens matter, because of the good service, they just created a startes plate right away on the fly. Thanks for this little things.
Main dishes are very good. You have a big range to choice from (in type of style), but not so many dishes that you dont know what you want.

Location:
In the center of Frankfurt City. Reachable by S-/U-Bahn and also you can find a carpark.
In the inside it has a lovely and modern interior. Clean, new and everything matches the overall style.

PS: My gut feeling was 4 points, but I cant see for any reason, that can argue for the lost of the perfect ranking :) Gratz

Perfect place for lunch or a coffee both in Winter and Summer.
They have a great breakfast and lunch card and bread which is devine! Their specialty "Kaffee Walden" needs to be enjoyed before leaving. A few weeks ago they have opened there additional area upstairs with a hip and modern look.

This is a true place to go to on a Saturday afternoon

Have fun!

Another one to see and be seen
Yes:
- Cool interior design
- Classy/trendy Frankfurt crowd
- Place to see and be seen
- outside tables in summer
No:
- Staff: not agreeable, but it might be a vicious circle being tired of serving uptight douches.
- you might feel cold during winter near the glass window
- Don't go for lunch; it's just not worth it when there is so much better in the area

Wouldn't initiate to go there
For a fancy drink, would rather go to something truly dashing (innside eurotheum on the 22nd floor or on top of the Flemings deluxe around Eischeimer Tor)

Great food. The schnitzel was very good and well served and the same for the tagliatelle. I only suggest to add more options for hot meals, for example, adding some fish dishes.

Ein grosses Café direkt in der Innenstadt von Frankfurt.
Das Mobiliar und die Innen- und Ausseneinrichtung ist hervorragend gestaltet. Das Angebot an Speisen und Getränken ist grosszügig und abwechslungsreich und insbesondere die leichten warmen Gerichte munden hervorragend.
Leider ist das Personal und insbesondere der Wirt recht überzeugt von sich selbst, so dass einem so manchen schöne Sonntagmorgen schnell verdorben werden kann. Wenn der Wirt freundlicher wäre gäbe es zwei Sterne mehr.

Surprising place...with an amazing and relaxed armosphere. The food was great and the menu is very creative!

Favorite place for brunch in Frankfurt - lots of dishes to choose from, you can get all of the egg dishes with scrambled or fried eggs & it comes with brötchen on the side. Perfect place to sit, especially if it's nice outside! Right in the center of the city
