    Lohninger Restaurant 06/01/19
    Michael U.

    Opened in 2010 along the Main River in Frankfurt, Restaurant Lohniger suggests a culinary concept that is both "Home and World," plates referencing Chef's childhood set alongside Italian and Austrian staples with proper execution across the board. The eponymous home of Mario Lohninger, a man born in the Alps and subsequently trained by Chefs including Guy Savoy, Wolfgang Puck and David Bouley, it was during time in New York and California that the Chef took interest in the sort of fusion taking place at Danube and Spago, an influence since brought back to Germany and a setting clad in white linen. Open daily at Schweizer Strasse 1, an abundance of foot traffic made heavier by weekend street markets poised to create issues for those driving, it is with reservations suggested that diners are invited to enjoy lunch or dinner, each featuring a la carte options from sections titled "Childhood" and "New World" while evenings also suggest a seasonal tasting that can be ordered at one price or in individual courses. Starting every table with an Amuse, the air upscale but family friendly, it was after sipping chilled Cherry Soup that Lohninger's housemade Bread arrived, two slices of Focaccia and Rye each warm with the latter particularly sour and nicely highlighted by salted local Butter. Still sated from an early morning visit to Erzeugermarkt Konstablerwache, and thus focusing on items recommended by staff as well as friends, Appetizers were omitted in favor of two "Childhood" classics, the guitar-cut Pasta cooked to peerless consistency amidst good Sauce while golden Veal Schnitzel benefitted from higher quality Meat aged to tenderize plus warm Potato Salad brightened by Capers. Further displaying Puck's influence by including Asian-accented Salads, but retaining classic sensibility with Goulash as well as Cheese Ravioli, it is digging into Austria's past that most tables finish with a favorite of Franz Joseph I, the "Emperor's Mess" or Kaiserschmarrn soft and tossed with Powdered Sugar that tastes great on its own, but better with imported Apples and Cinnamon, Vanilla Ice Cream or both.

    Strawberry surprise.

    Best Kaiserschmarren ever. A great variety of traditional Austrian dishes perfectly ccooked with highest quality ingredients. And some mostly Asian inspired modern dishes. I love it!

    To cleanse my palate: lingberry with sour icecream.

    So thankful that this restaurant was on Yelp otherwise I would have had to settle…read more First I would like to thank Ruth and the female bartender with tattoos on her legs. These 2 were warm, friendly, kind and gracious to us. When you go make sure to ask for Ruth as your server. BRAVO and 1000 thank yous to the chef!' Our food was beyond delicious. It was our last day of vacation in Germany and our last meal. I have not had a bad meal this entire time and I am happy to say the streak did not end here!!! The schnitzel is massive and you can have 1, 2 or 3 pieces. Thankfully I had only had breakfast otherwise trying to eat 2 pieces would have been difficult. The potato salad was superb and the wild cranberry sauce was the best I have had all week. If I had been staying the night I would have gotten an extra as a side and taken it home. I will be thinking about that until I return to Germany. it is just THAT good. Treat yourself to some of the fresh homemade bread. The aroma is great (I could only imagine being in the kitchen as it bakes) while it is just sitting on your plate. It had a mix of cumin and anise. Gives a very interesting taste. Very nice outside seating. The only complaint was that I was so full that dessert was out of the question. If you do not enjoy a meal here while your are in Frankfurt then you missed out. Again thank you Ruth for excellent service!!!

Luckily, we got seated but was only able to order something from the main entree. So no appetizers or soups. I ordered the small Schnitzel with roasted potatoes. My wife got the sausage with cheese. That was actually pretty good. The cheese was light and creamy. My schnitzel was ok and would have been better if it came with a mushroom sauce or something. This experience would have been better if we were able to order other items from the menu like the asparagus soup.

We were able in three trips to visit multiple times, exploring the ever-changing appetizer menu - after that we ordered the exact same thing for our mains and typically shared a dessert - the same dessert. That's how much we liked it! The Weinerschitzel (ladies portion) with cranberry and potatoes that seemed to be born in butter was our go to. EVERY TIME. So thin and crispy with just a light squeeze of lemon. The cranberry was a perfect accompaniment.. We always split the pancake with plum compote - again - crispy, not too heavy and in my eyes perfectly paired with the plum. Food amazing and our experiences with the staff was equalled. Always made to feel welcome. Friendly and attentive. I travel for work weekly and have the opportunity to eat in many places. I always look for "local" and locally sourced. So glad we crossed the border in Frankfurt to explore Austrian dishes!! The place is bustling. We never did reservations but would attempt to time our arrival close to opening. The place is busy any day of the week.

Nice ambience and staff all speak English and are good at suggesting dishes to try! Beware portions are large - even by American standards!! My partner and I got 2 apps and a main to share and could not finish. We got the hand cheese music(?), beef sausage salad and a mushroom schnitzel. The schnitzel was by far the star of the show (as we should have expected)! The cheese is famous so we had to try it but sheep's cheese is a bit too strong for me and it had a harder texture than I prefer. My partner liked it though so I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're adventurous!! We also got their homemade lemonade which was a fizzy raspberry lemonade. Pretty good as well but wish I had tried one of their ciders!

They're trying to stick to the monastery beer vibe but it doesn't hit the mark in that regard. The old place was cozy and old and felt authentic, this place is new, loud and generic. Maybe it's not so bad and I'm sore because I miss the old place but it just doesn't feel the same. Service was good, food was good, beer cold but it still feels like every other place out there. Probably won't be back, unfortunately. If you like well lit, upscale, generic restaurants try this one out. The food is good but the ambience is off.

She recommended Apfelwein Wagner so we stopped by for dinner. Ambiance (5/5): This is where this traditional German restaurant shines. The building in which it is housed has some awesome art on the exterior. Once you get inside, there's an open air area that makes you feel like you're outside but your'e actually inside. I recommend sitting here. It's lively and the design is awesome. In the back of the restaurant, you'll find an indoor area. Service (2.5/5): European service tends to be lackluster, but our service experience was a little below even that standard. We had to track our waiter down several times. Overall, quite slow. Drinks (4/5): If you can't tell by the name, Apfelwein Wagner specializes in apple wine. The largest size is served in beautiful handmade blue and white carafes. I personally am not a fan of apple wine, but it's definitely worth trying. Instead, I went with a beer or two. You can't go wrong with that in Germany. Food (3/5): They have several schnitzels (different meats) served with potatoes and green sauce (another Frankfurt specialty). You can't really mess this one up. Solid from the thin breaded cutlet to the potatoes and the green sauce made from a bunch of different herbs. My girlfriend at the other time, ordered some ribs and they were a big dud. They were rare, highly chewy, and highly fatty. She couldn't finish her meal and I don't blame her. So a bit of a hit and a miss. Apfelwein Wagner is a popular spot and I'm glad I checked it out. I'd come for the drinks and the ambiance. rather than the food though.

Only part of Frankfurt's Eschersheim neighborhood since mid-2017, the 350+ year old building unoccupied for some time before Chef Alfred Friedrich and Sommelier Pit Punda purchased the property after the former departed Michelin 2** Lafleur, it is via sites including Opentable that guests are able to make reservations, something indeed necessary as the both indoors and out were filled from 17h00 to 20h00, and likely straight through to midnight. Not aiming for Michelin accolades, but instead focused on regional specialties and memories from Chef Friedrich's Austrian childhood, it is with minimal English spoken and menus printed only in German that Zur Golden Kron operates, a bit of Google Translate via free Wi-Fi paying dividends across two courses served at a leisurely pace given the crowd of fifty or more and only three men in the kitchen. Beginning with housemade Bread, not the best but still a serviceable Sourdough, it was with a gentle breeze blowing that guests waited while watching a family of eight celebrate the birthday of an elderly gentleman, course one arriving some thirty minutes later and comprised of local Charcuterie alongside a 39€ slice of Foie Gras whose small portion and precious price was thankfully justified by it being peerlessly seared and served amidst fresh Mushrooms, pickled Peppers and poached Cherries. Made to wait nearly twenty minutes for empty plates to be cleared, just two servers in constant motion throughout the meal, it was a full sixty minutes later that Entrees arrived, the Spanish Pig impressive in its texture and accoutrements while Wiener Schnitzel compared favorably to the best in town, as too did the satin-smooth Potatoes mixed with Lamb's Tongue Lettuce.
