Im Restaurant Belleville werden wir uns Zeit nehmen euch zu beraten, aber für die Zubereitung unser tagesfrischen Produkte solltet ihr uns auch Zeit schenken. Und in unserem Jagdhofkeller wollen wir euch genauso verwöhnen, allerdings mehr für die Seele mit guter Musik und Unterhaltung. Für den kleinen Hunger dort haben wir auch eine Lösung: Ihr ruft uns an oder schickt ein Mail und wir machen euch einen Vesperteller (Wurst, Pasteten und Käse aus Frankreich mit Baguette) zurecht, an reservierten Sitzplätzen natürlich. Oder ihr geht vor dem Konzert zum Speisen ins Belleville (bitte unbedingt reservieren) und wir halten euch dafür ebenfalls schöne Sitzplätze im Jagdhofkeller frei.

More like a 3.5 star, but rounding up to 4 because of their wine pairing…read more I was staying at the hotel this restaurant is located in and asked if they had anything around 7pm. They said the next available seating would be an hour, so I happily took the 8pm. I was shocked to see how empty the restaurant was, though when I arrived! I opted for the 5 course tasting menu which was the smaller of the two. Glad I did because their portions are quite big here for a Chef's Tasting Menu. The food was good, but no standouts of the night. There was nothing in particular about the entire meal that impressed me. However, the dishes were colorful and beautiful! What I REALLY enjoyed was the wine pairing. Each glass complimented each dish perfectly. If only they served it in a timely manner... so not a Michelin experience, IMO. Service was all over the place. I wasn't really checked on and one dish a server just came by and took it away without asking If I was done... and no, I was not done. They didn't really time my wine pairing with the meals which put me off. Not sure how Michelin rated restaurants in Germany go, but I was not really impressed with this one. Decent food, not so great service. If someone asked me to go back, I wouldn't be opposed to it... but certainly not a Michelin experience I'd recommend to anyone... just a restaurant to go to for a decent meal.

Starter: Alsatian Goose Liver - Very rich and combinations were spot on. Bread that went with it was housemade and really tasty Main: Veal - cooked perfectly but the highlight for me in this dish was the eggplant. Tender and flavorful. Spice rub/topping on the top was great. Dessert: Went with the cheese. Selection of at least 15 cheeses. You're likely to find several you'll like. Price was reasonable for a Michelin star place. Great place for a formal business lunch or a romantic dinner. The restaurant also has a patio if you'd like to dine in open air. Not on such a busy road that it would be noisy and the hotel has columns and a courtyard that separates the restaurant from the street.

It didn't hurt that the al fresco weather was sublime. What a well-balanced menu and wine selection with just the right level of service, allowing us our space and not stepping on any of the lovely dishes served, including a fantastic fois gras plate...followed by a generous helping of high quality veal medallions with a savory mushroom sauce. Add great au gratin potatoes and fresh vegetables and we reached "fantastic." The salmon and gorgeous local asparagus were outstanding. Can't wait to go back and try the namesake dish and other enticing selections we saw going by...the cheese board looked classic. Even the butter for the typically fresh French baguette hit the target. Thank you for a wonderful (unexpected) dining experience!

Of the four dinners during our trip, we probably enjoyed this one the most given our connection with our server and the fun/upbeat atmosphere of the restaurant. We had to start with the classic French Onion Soup au Gratin, which was served with a thick layer of cheese and was piping hot. Great way to warm up on a rainy evening. Our server suggested I try the Shrimp Salad with green beans & avocado. It seemed like an odd combination of ingredients, but oh was I wrong. All the flavors and textures popped. The butterfly shrimp were incredible. As someone who loves Mussels, I met my match with the entrée size bowl served in creamy white wine sauce and with french fries. I made a gallant attempt to finish it, but fell short. It was a feast and cost only 34 Euros. My daughter met her match with the French Minced Potato Casserole au Gratin. Super rich and delish. The portion was huge, almost appropriate for family style dining. I wish I could bring this restaurant back to the United States.

The ambiance is elegant, warm and luxurious. The service is experienced and informed. My only complaint, although small, was the wine pour. My husband does not drink much and I don't want to drink a whole bottle by myself, so we ordered by the glass. The pour was tiny; more like a pairing pour. I was going to mention it, when he poured again. So, I thought maybe it was a regional difference in service. When the bill came, they charged for every tiny pour. I don't know if this is a house policy or if the waiter made that decision. It didn't ruin the evening, it was just the only disappointment. You decide if that matters.

The decor and service alone make Ernos Bistro a place you will want to come back to. This charming bistro could hardly be more authentic with its wood panelling, pretty decorative lights and wine bottles, friendly staff and of course the ever present owner. However, it is first and foremost Valéry Mathis' French cuisine, based on great produce, skill and a certain 'je ne sais quoi' that makes the restaurant so popular with so many people. The bistro's specialty, fish, is often flown in from France, as are the wines. It's closed weekends, during the Christmas and Easter seasons, and during much of summer. Oh well...

Unfortunately, the service was about the worst thing that ever happened to us in Frankfurt or anywhere for that matter. Our children were not very loud and were flirting with the guests on the table nearby (who were flirting back). A few minutes into our stay, the waiter comes and asks us to "tune our children down" and to imagine we would be on a romantic dinner - "would you want to be disturbed by children's noise?" he asked. "And just to make it clear, nobody complained, I just want to make sure it stays like that." What should you say to that? Well, we tried our best and did stay calm. Until we (remember, all adults at our table had wine and a full meal) took out the drinking bottle for our daughter when the waiter came again with the words "I don't want to be annoying, but could you please be so kind and remove this drinking bottle from the table?" Sounds like this story is made up? That's what I would think, if I hadn't seen it. What is really sad about it is that we really liked the food, the prices and the restaurant, but like this, we sure enough won't come again.
