Frankfurt Travel Guide - Eating Out

Those looking for local and traditional German cooking are also well catered for by an array of restaurants and snack bars offering up regional specialties at reasonable prices.

A real highlight for visitors to the city is a relaxing evening in one of Frankfurt’s Ebbelwoikneipen, which are traditional cider pubs, serving up sizable ceramic mugs of the local Apfelwein. Available sweet or dry, cider is the local drink of choice and is best appreciated with Handkse - a hard cheese mixed with onions, vinegar and oil.

The cider pubs in Sachsenhausen can be a bit touristy and tend to be quite crowded: other districts have pubs that are of comparable quality, but are less crowded, as they are frequented predominantly by locals.
