The most common question on our tours? Where can we get tasty, traditional German food and where are the best applewine pubs?

Having lived in Frankfurt for a very long time, we have visited our share of German/Frankfurt-style restaurants. These are our favorites that we come back to again, and again, and again.

Dauth-Schneider – Don’t let the unusual name fool you, this place rocks when it comes to delicious Frankfurt & German-style food. Located in the Sachsenhausen Applewine Pub district, they have traditionally decorated indoor seating and tons of outdoor seating. Even on weeknights, they have a large, friendly wait staff bustling around taking care of an amazingly busy restaurant. Once I saw the beautifully prepared, gigantic portions being delivered to neighboring tables, I knew this was a place I was going to visit again, just to try everything on the menu and so I have dined here dozens and dozens of times. They have great prices too. The food tastes as excellent as it looks, proving you CAN judge a book by its cover occasionally. We sometimes end up here after our Frankfurt on Foot daily tour, if everyone is hungry and wants to come to Sachsenhausen. Just give a shout-out if you want to come over here too.

Other notable restaurants in Bornheim – Apfelwein Solzer has a lovely applewine garden for dining outside and very traditional decor for dining inside. This is located on the upper Berger Strasse. A bit off the Berger strasse area is Malepartus. Good food and with a cozy German decor, this restaurant is popular with the Bornheim residents.

Zum Bären – Located in Frankfurt Höchst, this restaurant offers a delicious local menu, as well as one of the prime locations in town. Sitting up on the ancient city walls that overlook the Höchster Schloss, their tables in good weather are always full. Cold weather though,  allows you the chance to sit inside the traditionally decorated restaurant and smell the wonderful aromas coming out of the kitchen.

These are just our own personal reviews though, and we can’t take responsibility for any dining experiences that differ from ours. There are many other excellent German restaurants in Frankfurt, but these are the ones that stood out for us and represented some of the best Frankfurt-style food.

Guten Apetit!
