Is this shop a best in town? I wouldn't go so far as to say that, since at least one other cheese…read moremerchant in Frankfurt is particularly good (I am talking about one of the shops located in the Kleinmarkthalle). But Nick and his store are very charming, Nick and his assistants know everything about cheese, and they have a phenomenal variety from France as well as exotics from places like Norway and Ireland. The Käseladen am Merianplatz does have a best-in-town, though. Their Quiches, whether Lorraine or vegetarian, are fantastic: filled to the brim with gooey, aromatic, high-quality cheese. They make a fresh batch every day, and I can't remember where you'd ever get better ones.

Loved stopping at Kleinmakthalle Food Hall on our walking tour of Frankfurt…read more It is nice that our guide gave us a decent amount of time to explore the food market. Sampled a lot of different foods. Cheeses with truffles. Stuffed olives. Pickles. Pesto. Small squares of bread covered with a thin layer on jam.,Local honey. The pastries and breads looked so good. We don't eat pork, but there were so many types of salami and sausages. There is also a fish market. We ended up trying several types of honey. The market dates back to the 1890s when it was housed in an iron and glass domed building. That building was destroyed when the allies firestorm bombed Frankfurt in March 1944. The market reopened in 1954. Many sellers have sold goods and produce at the market from generation to generation. A great place to explore while In Frankfurt.

On our last day in Frankfurt, we had a little time to kill before happy hour at our hotel…read more Kleinmarkthalle, the largest food market in Frankfurt, was a short walk away. It's a little tough to tell where the entrance is, but we eventually figured it out. Once you walk into this indoor food market, you'll see a whole host of vendors selling pretty much everything under the sun. You'll see produce (fruits and vegetables), nuts, sweets, and much more. You'll also find hot food including German sausage, pizza, and more. If you come hungry, you're not going to be able to resist having some food and buying more than you should while you're there. It's kind of like going to a grocery store hungry. The food hall is on two levels. You'll find friendly vendors. Some offer free samples. I only bought a German sausage and some bread from two lovely German grandmothers. They were smiling, asked me questions about myself, and were a joy. What a cute pair! And the sausage was quite tasty (they have five or so for you to choose from). The prices seem reasonable across the board, even though I didn't buy much.

Excellent selection of great cheeses. Visited his stall in the Offenbacher market a few days ago…read moreand was impressed. Exceedingly friendly, amusing and helpful. I tried so many different cheeses that I didn't bother with my planned breakfast afterwards. The cheese he's holding in the photo was the best of them all for me Sternenberger Bergkäse. Delicious!
