Dining in Frankfurt
A wide variety of restaurants and upscale eateries can be found all over Frankfurt. The most exciting ones are in bohemian Sachsenhausen and fashionable Westend. Most tourists walk down Fressgass, the city's culinary main street. Though cafés, restaurants, bistros and delis line both sides of the street, only a few offer something special.
Erno´s Bistro Erno´s doesn't look like much. It's small, with only a few tables with checkered cloths, and is tucked away in a quiet part of Westend. Despite this, it is considered one of the premier restaurants in the whole of Germany. Choose any of the fish dishes from the French menu. Closed on weekends. Address: Liebigstrasse 15 Phone: +49 (0)69 721 997
Gargantua Klaus Trebe is a food columnist and also one of Frankfurt's most famous chefs. His Gargantua restaurant serves classic German food with a modern twist.
