This has to be my favourite place to eat in Frankfurt and surroundings, and if I could, I would…read moregive it 6 stars. The food served is rustic German, with a particular focus on Hessian specialities such as Grüne Sosse (a fresh sauce made from a number of herbs and sour cream), Rippchen (boiled ribs) and Bratkartoffeln (sautéd potatoes). The rustic aspect comes across not only in the tasty type of food served but also the portion sizes, which are absolutely enormous. The menu is extensive, with all sorts of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes, as well as salads and lots of desserts. You should definitely order a jug of local apple cider to accompany your meal. Also make sure to visit the Lahmer Esel in summer, so that you can take full advantage of the wonderful beer garden at the back, which is particularly suited to families with children. Service is usually very quick and prices are very reasonable. Easy to reach by public transport (take the U3 to Niederursel) or by car. Altogether, a wonderful place!
