Tourist information - Frankfurt
Frankfurt has everything. Here you'll be able to find something to suit every taste, and across all price ranges. Yet heading out to get a meal or a drink is not just about satisfactory appetites. Frankfurt is a city full of single people and socializing is high on the agenda at many localities.
Frankfurt's gastronomic scene has definitely profited from the airport, which links the city to food producers over the world. The city's foreign communities have also added a touch of spice to the culinary landscape, which is now full of Turkish, Indian, and Japanese together with other foreign establishments. Yet those on the lookout for nearby cooking also are well catered for by various restaurants and snack bars which serve up regional specialties at competitive prices.
But the complete highlight for visitors to Frankfurt is definitely an evening at one of the Ebbelwohnkneipen, traditional cider pubs which offer ceramic mugs full of the local drink, Apfelwein. Be it sweet or dry, cider is the drink to select from in Frankfurt and is best appreciated having an accompaniment of Handkäse, a type of hard cheese blended with onions, vinegar and oil.
Frankfurt Local cuisine
Frankfurt features a good choice of places specializing in regional food and drink. The ideal and very popular cider pubs are to be located in the district of Sachsenhausen. The Affentorschänke, for instance, having its rustic interior and good value menu, offers Haspeln and Schäufelchen (both local pork dishes), as well as a stunning fillet of beef, served with - you got it right - cider! The Wagner is also popular, not just because of its drink and food, furthermore because of its easy-going and incredibly sociable atmosphere. The only issue with the cider pubs in Sachsenhausen mainly because are fairly tourist and can end up very full. Other districts’ pubs are actually just as good, but that are visited primarily by locals. Good examples include the Zur Schönen Müllerin in Nordend or Friedberger Warte in Bornheim.
