    Veggie schnitzel with frankfurt green sauce and potatoes
    Brian Z.

    A very friendly gentleman served us, and was very understanding of our not speaking German. Fetched us menus and was patient with our questions. What attracted us to the restaurant was the veggie schnitzel (we're both vegetarians) and traditional Frankfurter fare on the menu. Everything was perfect. From the recommended apfelwein (not as strong as I expected) to the veggie schnitzel and roasted potatoes. The frankfurt green sauce was very tasty. For dessert I had the apfelwein panacotta (which was good) and my wife had the warm chocolate cake (which was great -- like a molten german cake). We would recommend this restaurant heartily, especially for any vegetarians hoping to get try more traditional German fare without the meat (which is tough to do!).

    I ordered the Frankfurter Schnitzel with green sauce & fried potatoes. The green sauce was a disappointment. For having seven herbs it in, I didn't think it was flavorful. To be fair, it was my first time trying it, so I'm not sure if it's suppose to taste that way or if Zum Eichkatzerl's wasn't good. Be sure to specify the size (large or small) when ordering escalopes. I intended to get the small; waiter didn't ask and gave me the large which was 4 EUR more and ended up wasting half since I couldn't finish it. The breading completely crumbled when I cut into it. I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, this was my least favorite meal in Frankfurt.

    Found in the Sachsenhausen area of Frankfurt, not far from the river, Zum Eichkatzerl has achieved modest acclaim as an Apfelweinbar, but as dinner on Sunday proved the kitchen is quite capable of turning out good versions of classic Hessen Cuisine at fair prices. Open for dinner nightly, weekends beginning at 16h00 and the rest an hour later, it is once past an interior garden that guests find a heavily wooded interior decorated by squirrels and communal tables, just one elderly gentleman who "comes almost every day" inside, chatting quietly with the bartender. Bilingual to an extent, though just two servers in addition to the bar man serving at least seventy guests did not allow much time to chat, it was from a menu provided in English that decisions were made, a €2 glass of house Apfelwein sweet with a bit of minerality that was refreshing in a room with temperatures hovering around 26 °C. Popular with locals, a table of lager-heads next to another full of Asians enjoying Pork Knuckle, it was after being informed that the kitchen was "out" of Spatzle that Appetizers arrived, the cleverly-named "Sachsenhauser Tapas" offering six selections including Pork Sausage and boiled Rib plus Homemade Cheese Cream, Green Sauce and Hard Cheese marinated with Onions that went particularly well with slices of Brown Bread. Opting for Butter-fried Fried Potatoes as an alternative to Noodles, these and a Salad topped in Corn serviceable but not noteworthy, it was nearly an hour after sitting down that a "small" order of Pork Schnitzel arrived slightly overcooked, browned edges a bit tough though the center was good both on its own and with a squeeze of Lemon. Not offering Apple Strudel or any other German specialties as Dessert, the "fresh baked" Chocolate Cake thus decided upon to finish, it was after fifteen minutes that a round of Lava Cake was delivered, a molten center admittedly unexpected based on menu verbiage but both texture and flavor good, as was the thick Crème Anglaise.

    The Squirrel is another charming courtyard venue in Sachsenhausen, in which to enjoy some Apfelwein. More than Apfelwein in the end as a hen night turned up and for some reason (best understood by locals I guess) the soon to be bride had to sell us some Rheinspritzer shots, in Waldmeister and Raspberry flavours. Preferred the Apfelwein but it made for an entertaining distraction. (See photo below)

    Great courtyard, excellent beer and service. Sat outside on a cool crisp night and had a beer and chilled. It was warm inside and the bartenders were really helpful in navigating in English. Squirrel theme throughout which is strange and yet comical.

    Schnitzel with green sauce

    Fantastic applewein bar. Located in Sachsenhausen, just off of the river, the place has a garden and tables inside. We came on a Friday night and were promptly seated at a shared table with some friendly folks. We promptly ordered two appleweins. They have English food menus so we ordered a grilled pork knuckle and a pork schnitzel with green sauce. Note the portions are huge so come hungry. The waiters are friendly and are typically running around from table to table so you'll need to flag them down when you want to order. Since they were so busy, I'd reco to order everything all at once. The food was really good. The schnitzel was some of the best that I've had in Germany. And the environment was lively. Definitely a place to go if you're interested in trying some applewein

    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.

    Cute spot, but the service was not great and the food was good but nothing to write home about…read more It took forever to get helped initially and she was very rushing me. Ordered Apfelwein which was not very good - but to be fair I'm sure there's different versions like every other type of wine. Ordered the green sauce dish - a staple of cold green sauce, eggs, potatoes. It was tasty but the eggs were ever so slightly overcooked (the grayish on the outside of the yolk) but the sauce was pretty dang good! Never checked in on me once to see how it was or if I wanted anything else. Finally I just decided to leave and even asked her for the rechnung twice! Never came, was so fed up I just left some cash on the table and walked out. I will not be back.

They're trying to stick to the monastery beer vibe but it doesn't hit the mark in that regard. The old place was cozy and old and felt authentic, this place is new, loud and generic.

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.
