Coffee, wine or tea?

All of the above have a tradition in Frankfurt

Well established in Frankfurt for many centuries, tea, coffee and wine reflect the city's rich culture and diverse history. Historically, Frankfurt was an important trading centre, a crossroads that made exotic goods such as tea and coffee from distant lands accessible. This tradition fostered a lively coffeehouse culture that is still felt today in the city's cosy cafés. Ronnefeldt, based in Frankfurt since 1823, enriches this tradition with the finest teas for connoisseurs and reflects the city's appreciation of high-quality luxury foods.

Frankfurt's wine scene benefits from its proximity to the slopes of the renowned Rheingau, one of Germany's oldest and most famous wine-growing regions, which has made the enjoyment of local wine a firm tradition. Visitors may purchase excellent wines as souvenirs at the City of Frankfurt's proprietary winery, offering them a wonderful opportunity to take the diversity of flavours and wine-growing heritage home with them.

Restaurants in Frankfurt

A culinary revolution is bubbling in Frankfurt's alleyways, ranging from rustic apple wine taverns to avant-garde gourmet temples. Here, where tradition clashes heartily with modernity, a variety of flavours unfolds, ranging from hearty “Handkaes mit Musik” (small, round sour-milk cheeses marinated in olive oil, onions and caraway seeds) to innovative, regionally inspired menus served in "Hessen à la Carte" establishments.

Every corner tells its own story, be it through the sparkling pleasure of a glass of fresh apple wine or the sophisticated flavours that come together magically in the city's kitchens. Frankfurt is a paradise for gourmets, a place where every meal is a journey of discovery.

Whether you're looking for a cosy evening in a traditional tavern or want to explore the culinary heights of a Michelin-starred restaurant, the metropolis on the River Main has unforgettable moments of indulgence in store. Explore, taste, love - Frankfurt cuisine is waiting for you.
