Compared to the other cities, Frankfurt's market was on the larger end of the scale and extends for several blocks beginning near the river and winding its way up through the city in no real discernible pattern. Unlike other markets, it also has much more of a focus on food and drink with a broad variety of items beyond just the traditional foods of the region as was characteristic of other markets. Because of its meandering layout, it's a bit more difficult to be sure you've seen it all. Like all the markets, the centerpiece is a giant lighted Christmas tree (white lights only) and this market is set amidst a scenic square of reconstructed half-timbered houses making for a beautiful backdrop. Not my favorite market despite its scenic nature and for me not a destination I would seek out on a Christmas market vacation, but worth a visit if you happen to be in town during Christmas.

Such a BEAUTIFUL Christmas market, located at Romerburg, the traditional European town square. This…read moreis a must to visit! The Christmas market is quite expansive, going on for several city blocks. It would be difficult to not feel holiday cheer when walking along the stalls. I know the festival is focused on Christmas, but people of all religions would enjoy the this event. There are carousel rides for the kids, fun music, and the best of all, lots of food and beverages! Carnivores have a wide variety of choices, with huge grills full of sausages. I heard from several meat-eaters that the food is delicious. They have offerings for those of us who do not eat meat. Of course, lots and lots of french fries smothered in mayo, as well as sweet and savory crepes. The cheese crepes are so good, served on a big wafer cookie instead of a plate (smart idea.) The best part, though, is by far the yummy varieties of beverages. Since it super cold in the winter, the hot Gluhwein is a real winner. Mulled wine, hot enough to warm you up but not boiling to where the alcohol content is diminished. The mix of Apfelwein and Gluhwein, served with a slice of orange, is also tasty. There are also many stalls with bottled alcohol for sale. Some of the best I tried were varieties of alcohol made with honey. Rum, whiskey, even grappa! The employee gave out samples and it was easy to spend a lot of money there! Early evening is the best time to visit if you hate large crowds. Make sure you secure your valuables. There are many pick-pocketers, so men need to keep wallets in front pockets and women need to wear purses that cross their bodies. Our friends experienced some Syrian refugees literally sliding their hands in their back pockets. Just be aware of your surroundings and you will have a great time!

I came here this year for a work Christmas party and was very pleasantly surprised. A little off…read morethe beaten track and with a rather eclectic menu I wasn't initially inspired. However, for a small work party it was ideal. As the menu does feature some good examples of a number of world cuisines, from coq au vin to an Indian thali it had something for everyone in a very multicultural group. The service was quick and friendly and although possibly a slightly cramped space it felt very cosy and had a good atmosphere.

Allgemein Nothing special to be experienced at Eat'n' Art…read more  Average place with average to less-than-average food. Bedienung Ther service was friendly and efficient, although the waiter forgot what options we chose for the Thali dish; he had to come back and confirm it with us. Das Essen We both ordered the Indian Thali dish and each choosing a little bit different dishes inside me: Vindaloo chicken, mixed vegetables and lentils. The chicken vindaloo was not hot at all; it was a mild curry flavour.  It was room temperature.  The mixed vegetables was not so much mixed, but mostly cabbage.  It was also room temperature.  The lentils had no special flavour in it, no curry or personality of its own, just bland.  It was also room temperature. The food arrived very quickly, probably within 5 or so minutes after we ordered it and this made me suspicious as to how fresh it was.  The waitress indicated that since there were not a lot of other patrons, our food could be prepared quickly.  I suspect that our food was already prepared an hour earlier in a big dish so that many people can eat from it and it already lost its temperature. The not-warm food was a bit dissapointing, but I can live with this.  What I cannot live with is the lack of taste in the food.  I left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied. Perhaps the management or staff changed over the years as this place has a lot of potential, but it duly dissapoints.  I would not return to this restaurant again. Das Ambiente Decent ambiente.  An old charming type of feeling with a lot of wood decoration and candle-light feeling.

Our server brought us drinks we didn't order. They said it was a mistake, and they didn't take them back, they insisted we drink them. But then they charged us... I don't really know what the protocol would be but I somehow feel like this was questionable. I didn't order the drink, they admitted the mistake and insisted we just have the drinks, but then also charged us? I think if they hadn't insisted we just drink them I wouldn't be confused about our 20euro bill.
