"Located within the excellent Museum of Applied Arts, this sleek restaurant is spacious, bright, and unapologetically modern, with vibrant furniture, white walls and big windows accented by colorful artworks, and strings of dangling lightbulbs—all courtesy of the design firm Uwe Fischer & Partners. The food, mostly a mix of French and German cuisine, is equally beautiful, ranging from spinach risotto with goat cheese to more casual snacks like fennel sausages and fresh sourdough bread, plus delicious homemade cakes for dessert. Drinks are seasonally inspired and include black currant Crémant and natural ciders, both perfect for sipping on the outdoor terrace in nice weather."

"Housed inside Frankfurt’s Museum for Applied Art, this cool, somewhat kitschy bistro feels like it could be one of the museum’s own exhibits, with Bauhaus furniture, bold primary colours and strings of fairy lights crisscrossing the ceiling. The kitchen is led by head chef Anton de Bruyn, who serves what he calls “neo bistro cuisine”, with creative dishes such as sliced liver paired with mashed potatoes, quince and radicchio, or black salsify tempura topped with poppy seeds and michelada salt. It’s an unpretentious spot where the playful interior design and inventive plates come together, and it’s ideally placed for a post-dinner walk along the museum embankment to take in Frankfurt’s glittering skyline." - Alethea Tan
