HOLY SCHNITZEL! Wow, this place was awesome. Not only was the view from the balcony amazing, the food and service were as well. The schnitzel was a giant perfectly fried piece of veal. It came with a side of potato salad and cucumber salad. The flavors were outstanding. Well done team.

So we broke the cardinal rule of thumb, which is to always make reservations in a foreign country no matter how slow it might be on a weekday night. So when we walked in and said we needed a table for four, they looked as us with a bit of "ugh damn Americans.." type of frustration. But understanding that it was out bad for not making ressies we were sorry and apologetic. Once we were seated we turned on that friendly charm and rapport building and we were back in biz! So to the food...the food was good however, for as upscale as they claimed to be, I didn't think it was a 5 star worthy place. If you are ever passing thru definitely stop by after making a ressie and enjoy a bottle of wine and try the cheese apps and schnitzel entree!

Tuna with salad and guacamole.
Amanda D.

So far my least favorite dining experience in Frankfurt. Although the food was good, the service left something to be desired. First the food. The seared tuna had a very nice flavor and texture and was cool but not cold which was very nice. The fresh salad had a variety of greens and was lightly but flavorfully dressed. The guacamole was a bit of a mystery but when combined in one bite with the salad and tuna was good. The boulliabase was spicy and good. So a solid 4 to 5 for food. I felt that as a single diner my service was limited. My dinner was served immediately after I received my water and glass of wine. I was then left waiting and waiting long after finishing all my water, wine, and food before I even saw my server again. I would have liked more to drink between my dinner and soup as I had finished it all before my soup arrived. Service was a 3. I did, though, appreciate that my server was able to put in an order for a small (rather than full) bowl of the fish soup. Also, I would not consider th8is a "casual" restaurant (as described to me) for dinner as most of the men were wearing suits and the women smartly dressed. I felt very out of place wearing a casual skirt and nice tshirt. They do take both cash and cards.

Currywurst mit Pommes un Weißbier
Philip S.

I discovered MainNizza as i was on my was to Städel Museum, that sits just by the River Main. The restaurant has a tremendous Biergarten (beer garden) overlooking the river, and after a whole day sightseeing, what better way to end the day than traditional German food, such as Currywurst. I will tell you that the Currywurst found at Christmas Markets around the UK is mediocre in comparison to the real thing in Germany. Oh my, the Currywurst at MainNizza is absolutely delicious! Definitely worth a visit: if not only for the view.

Excellent place for lunch. Menu didn't have a wide variety of items but enough to choose from. Staff was excellent. They noticed my daughter not touching her plate and came to look on their own accord- the chicken was very undercooked. If you are nearby stop in here for lunch!

Lecker lecker!

Unfriendly staff, food is not bad, good, but service is beneath everything: slow, unfriendly, not commercial

Atschel - Wiener schnitzel with salad and potatoes

Great traditional German food. Got it off a recommendation from Rick Steve's book and it was…read moreperfect. Portions were huge and tasty. Beer was cold and tasty too. Schnitzel was on a potato pancake with cheese on top - wow! We sat out back on a perfect night. Shared a table in a family style setting. Get there early or book a reservation.

My first meal in Germany! After landing in Frankfurt, I was looking for a spot for lunch before…read morechecking into my hotel. I took a bus there so I can't comment on the parking situation in the area. Ambiance (4/5): From the outside, Atschel looks like a homey, traditional restaurant. Which is exactly what I was looking for when it cam to my first dining experience in Germany. There's a charming inside area with wooden walls as well as a patio area in the back. I sat inside. Drinks (4/5): Frankfurt is known for apelwein or apple wine. So when in Rome...I had the apelwein spritz which adds soda and Aperol. I will say that straight up apelwein is not my jam. It's nice to try while you're in Frankfurt, but it's too bitter and vinegar-ey for me. With that being said, when you mix it in with Aperol and soda, it's pretty solid. And if you're in a group, you can get the apelwein served in large stone mugs which is pretty cool. Outside of that, they have a lot of beer, as you would expect, and pretty much everything else. Service (4.5/5): I was pleasantly surprised with how friendly and attentive the service was (which is typically not the norm in Europe). Our waitress checked on me, thanked me and said goodbye as I was leaving, and overall, did a great job. Food (4/5): Since this is a traditional German restaurant, I had to go with another Frankfurt specialty: Viener schitznel with green sauce. Schnitzel just means a thin cutlet (often pork) that is breaded. The green sauce is made from seven herbs and while it's a tad bit herb-ey for my taste, it was still interesting to try. The dish is served with fried potatoes. Filling and hearty as you would expect from a German meal. For my first meal in Germany, it was a great start to my trip.

Serving guests since 1897 Schreiber-Heyne Gaststätte is a popular Apfelwein Bar located outside…read moreFrankfurt city-center, this fact and a lack of English-fluent servers or menus assuring mostly local clientele feasting on traditional Hessian Cuisine. Opening at 5pm daily, the Biergarten entirely spoken for until 01h00 on the first Saturday of July, it was as a party of three that the heavily wooden interior was occupied while waitresses and kitchen worked diligently alongside a Bartender who must've poured 200 drinks over the course of an hour. Named after original proprietors Rosa Schreiber and her daughter Teni Heyne, their Sausage recipes still comprising roughly half of the Gaststätte menu, it was with sweet and sour Apple Wine from Rothenbücher in hand that "Cheers!" preceded first bites of Liver Dumpling Soup teaming with Salt and Scallions. Entirely regional dishes, none perhaps moreso than 'Handkas Mit Musik" with pungent Cheese bathed in Onion Vinaigrette and Carraway Seeds, it was alongside Rye Bread that bites were taken prior to Potato Sausage, boiled Spuds and herbaceous Quark. Losing a Frankfurter to translation, though there was no lack of Food thanks to generous portions, dinner culminated in golden Wienerschnitzel atop Fried Potatoes plus a Ramekin of Frankfurt's signature Green Sauce.

Great service and excellent traditional German food…read more Menu has English subtitles. Servers speak English. Skip the frankfurters (not really different than what we get in the US. . . and they are boiled, not grilled) and go straight to the grilled pork chop which was the best I ever had. I went in August on a warm evening. The outside dining area was wonderful.

When in Germany you have to order Frankfurt specialties and stop by Apfelweinwirtschaft…read moreDauth-Schneider This spot is a rustic restaurant that has been around since 1850! It is a must try spot, their dishes with green sauce are everything. Outdoor seating available, older but clean indoor seating, staff is friendly and it does get busy so you may wait a bit for service but still timely manner. Worth the wait and the walk! What I ordered : -"Frankfurter Schnitzel" with green sauce and fried potatoes - Sachsenhäuser sausages platter with sauerkraut and bread

A terrific apfelwein experience. Definitely come to this restaurant to check it out. We came early…read morewithout a reservation. We were seated, but if you can reserve ahead. They have non-alcoholic apfelwein! Those who do not imbibe need not miss out. We dined inside as this was late October and it was too cool to sit outside. The interior is warm woods with communal tables. Make new friends and enjoy a good meal. We the pork shank and sausages. Really good. Loved the atmosphere. The staff were great. Not everyone speaks English. If you let them know you don't speak German, they will set you up with one of their English speaking staff. Get the apple strudel. The creme anglais that comes with it really makes the dish. Head to the restroom to see just how big the restaurant is. One room has a tree growing through the ceiling!
