Came by for dinner the other night and it was a rather mediocre experience. Franziska seems to be located at the top of a condo building on the 39th floor with a terrace for smoking? and drinking on the 38th with a view of Frankfurt. They also sell cigarettes at the vending machine on the 38th where the toilets are...
Upon arrival, there is a host on the street level that checks one's reservation before teaching one how to use the elevator to the 39th floor along with the terrace on the 38th. The view from the 39th is fantastic, overlooking Frankfurt. There is a chef table along with a bar seating and seating overlooking Frankfurt.
Service encounters were a touch odd with the waiter requesting me to show him my face while others were coughing in the restaurant?!?
Opted for the 7 course tasting menu, while watching the show from the Chef's table and the view was fantastic.
The food itself was rather lackluster. The Spherizied Curdled Milk Cheese Chip was unique. The Organic Egg, Imperial Caviar, Mustard Dill Cream, Crisps
felt a little pedestrian.
I was somewhat confused with the liverwurst creme brulee and ice cream for course 3 out of 7?!?
The sweetbread course felt more like a fried vs a grilled sweetbread.
The black cod was tasty although I didn't quite understand the bacon bits..
The pork cheeks came out way too salty...perhaps it's a German thing?
The black forest mochi was a tasty way to end the meal.
