This restaurant surely contributes to my fond memories of Frankfurt. I visited it (in mid…read moreSeptember, 2010) on one of my many hikes through the streets of Frankfurt; it's practically right across from Goethe Haus , so a great place to dine if you do the tour. I arrived mid-day, just prior to opening and opted to eat out-of-doors. A friendly, thoughtful (and I'm sorry, I must say it, very pretty) young lady brought me a small pillow to fend off the chair's chill on this dampish day and proceeded to help me choose my lunch. My mood dictated some standard German fare and we settled on their Gulash vom US-Beef mit Spatzle und kleinem Salat. It may sound simple, but it was marvellous! There is no doubt that I'd return to this restaurant. I would also hope that anyone else who visits is lucky enough to be looked after by the same wonderful waitress. I truly wish I had caught her name.

This was a hidden gem. It was market week and all other restaurants in town were booked solid…read more The Riz was only a little crowded and we got a last minute reservation. It is on a quiet street across from Geothe Haus. The sommelier was worth the trip alone. He was right out of a Wes Anderson movie with his curly mustache, bushy beard, tweed vest and quirky way of speaking excitedly about the wine options. The food was the best meal that I have had in a long time. Very well seasoned and innovative combinations. It was a business dinner so I didn't mind the high prices, but it was one of those rare times you feel you are getting what you paid for. I had Burrata Caprese salad which I had always wanted to try- it is mozzarella cheese that is creamy and oozy inside- yum. And then I had rack of Lamb with a salsa and root vegetable puree. Everything was fantastic. Even the aperitif of red peach liquor and seltzer.

I had the large draft lager on tap, very good. A spritz for the wife and juice for the little one. For the meal I had the schnitzel, a fried pork patty. It came with a delicious green sauce which made everything better. I even dipped the bread in it. Wife had an egg dish that also came with the green sauce. It was good. Little one had the burger which she also liked. Service was friendly, accommodating (gave us English menus) and just right. Would go back.
