Whether it’s an award-winning gourmet restaurant, a trendy eatery, international cuisine, or a traditional apple wine pub, Frankfurt has something for every taste.
Classics include the city’s famous apple wine, served in a Bembel (a blue-grey stoneware jug) and drunk from a special ribbed glass. Apple wine pubs often pair the drink with frankfurters, Grüne Soße, or Handkäs mit Musik — small round cheeses marinated in vinegar and chopped onions. Most of these traditional taverns can be found in Sachsenhausen.
The Freßgass, Frankfurt’s culinary main street, is lined with cafés, restaurants, bistros, and delis, making it a good place to wander and sample a variety of dishes.
Throughout the week, the city hosts several food markets where locals buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, flowers, and other goods. Each market has its own character and offers a glimpse into everyday life in Frankfurt.
