"A great location in the heart of Frankfurt. Take the lift up to the 53rd floor and bag a table by the window to experience a view you don't often get to enjoy – the panorama over the rooftops of "Mainhatten" is downright spectacular! The cuisine is equally impressive. A modern set menu comprising five to seven expressive courses is on offer. The clear Asian, mainly Japanese influences can be seen, for example, in "Ikejime Hamachi, Gamba Blanca, Wasabi, 20 year old matured Mirin". First-class product quality. You can sip an aperitif in the lounge before dinner (from 9pm you are also welcome just for drinks). A reservation gets you a free ticket for the lift and also grants you access to the observation deck." - Michelin Inspector

"Frankfurt’s glass-heavy Main Tower is one of the most iconic buildings in town. The sixth-largest skyscraper in the city—and the first ever constructed in Europe, in 1999—it features a restaurant and lounge on the 53rd floor, with high-end cuisine to match its stellar views. Here, set menus (two- or three-course business lunches and three-, four-, or five-course dinners) change every two months to stay seasonal, but always showcase refined takes on classic dishes like Wagyu beef Tafelspitz and yellowfin tuna with pears and ginger. Adjacent to the restaurant is a sleek lounge with cube tables, lots more window seating, and an impressive range of champagne, fine wine, cocktails, and snacks. Reservations are recommended for both venues."
I found it a bit too pricey and the portions are tiny, even that it is the tasting menu. The food was very good, very artistic and service was very good, not too fancy. However, I would appreciate some local touch and use of more local products instead of constantly mentioning how their tomatoes came from the best Spanish tomatoes (where exactly in Spain lol) or some French vegetables or even more far away places. Wine by glass is too expensive too and wine pairing, consisting of 6 glasses of 100ml glasses is way too big for me, I would not be able to drink a whole bottle of wine alone.

The service is absolutely perfect, the view, the experience everything is worth it but unfortunately the food is not that special. I would expect more from a michelin star restaurant. It wasn’t bad dont get me wrong, it just wasnt 1000€ good. Dubai, tel aviv and other cities with michelin star restaurants were just better food wise.

The Main Tower Restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Every course was exceptional, with meticulously prepared dishes that showcased attention to detail. The service was superb—attentive and professional—and the quiet atmosphere added to the enjoyment.

Excellent cuisine with a view. The Main Tower delivers a beautifu viewl of the city and some delicious molecular gastronomy, but lacks in ambience and service.
The setting is a bit austere and does not have the opulence of some other fine dining establishments. The service is typical German: to the point. The dishes were explained well, but it was all transactional.
If you don't order the wine course - good luck. Cocktails and other drinks were hard to come by - my sole cocktail was never offered for a refill, water refills were also rather slow.
The pace of the dinner is very slow, one truly can relax and enjoy the meal over 4+ hours with the nice sunset view of the city. All the courses were expertly crafted and very good to exceptional. Only a few, such as the quail for main course was sub-par.
It is a bit pricey and I must admit the experience, while very good, just didn't have the wow factor we were looking for.

My sister and I were in the lounge and had a few drinks (Mojitos, Negroni, Espresso Martini, Macallan Whiskey) as well as the cheese selection. Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared. The view was amazing and the staff very attentive and friendly.

I would give more than 5 stars if i could do. Everything is perfect. Very good service. Beautiful view. Amazing creative food. Very delicious. We reserved a table for 3 course dinner for our wedding anniversary last year and this year. The price is quiet expensive. But worth it. We want to go for fantastic dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year.

Since I live in Frankfurt (which is about 3 years) I've always wished to experience this amazing Panorama Restaurant, highlight of the city. I had luck, as I called only 10min before my arrival to book a table, and had luck to receive one (normally one needs to book days earlier, and sometimes weeks).
Needless to say I was amazed with the beautiful panorama and the simple, yet sophisticated interior of the restaurant.
Food was absolutely delicious. Some of the ingredients were complete new to me (as I usually stick to me personally known recepies).
Every course was presented in details by the competent and very polite and professional waiter.
Special thanks to the waiter Mr. Wilhelm (I hope I rememmber correctly) who made our experienced so pleasant.
With regards to the price, I would not say it is expensive. The price suits the overall sensation (the spectacular view and meals) + location.
Best Regards,
Nevena

Looking forward to come again.

Amazing place for a special occasion dinner. Great food, the staff was outstanding, and of course the view across Frankfurt was very special too

The view is breathtaking and takes up most of my grading for this restaurant. I can't help but compare it to Olympic Tower in München, and I have to say by far the food selection at Olympic Tower is waaaaaaaay better than the food you'll eat here.
Boyfriend and I went here for his birthday, and although the food was artistically crafted, the taste was mediocre. The only course I really enjoyed was my main, the Rind plate (beef with noodles and greens). They cooked it medium rare and it was juicy and salty, a perfect combination. Otherwise the food is overpriced and even the wine choices are not the best. Nothing really blew us away here, except again the view. We even mentioned it was my boyfriend's birthday, but there wasn't any acknowledgement.
You're really just paying for the view and a chance at a good FB/IG picture =]

In the afternoon I called requesting a reservation in the lounge because there was no availability for dinner (wanted to go somewhere romantic for my Fiance's birthday). I notified them that I had a reservation for dinner somewhere else and I was not sure if we would be able to make it to the reservation because it was a bit late (21:00 being the earliest time possible). We finished dinner at the other restaurant around 19:30 and had nothing to do in Frankfurt until the reservation time, plus it was raining like crazy... therefore, we went home. The day after I get a SUPER RUDE CALL WITH ATTITUDE that I did not make it to the reservation. I told her I did not have battery so I could not email on time and apologized. She kept going on about how rude it was from my part even though I apologized. If it was a restaurant reservation I understand, but this is a lounge reservation. She did not have to take time to call me and waste my time with much mistreatment. Don't worry, I will tell my friends about this experience as I used to talk so highly about this location.
I am just in shock that a high quality restaurant/ lounge can have the audacity of treating potential customers like such garbage. To the lady that called me: thank you for saving us from visiting.

A nice cosmopolitan " bistronomical " restaurant at the 53rd floor of the high " Main Tower " (not the most original name there - how German lol) in the middle of Frankfurt's business district (if only there was a " non business " district in Frankfurt - Lol2). Nice service and amazing view, which is the only reason you'd go there of course. But it wasn't a rip off. Just a bit expensive for the food we got (quality and quantity combined). Still a nice place for lunch as that view is of course amazing.

The Maintower offers apart from the Commerzbank tower the greatest view over Frankfurt. To get a brief overview it is recommandable

Meals here are very formal featuring gourmet modern European dining. The service is excellent. Even when our party repeatedly send orders back for changes or changed drink orders the wait staff remained calm, professional and courteous. The main attraction, however, is the view which is fantastic. The restaurant only faces the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) side of the city, but you have easy access by stairs to the observation deck and it is nice to dine while taking in the view.

My company treated a large group of us to dinner here after a conference in the city. The views and the food are amazing. A must do for anyone looking for a nice dinner out and a great way to take in the city from 50+ floors up.
