Villa Merton

Had a wonderful time at Villa Merton with my husband to celebrate our third year anniversary. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, the service was professional and friendly. We had the surprise menu which was a truly pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the pork and prawn dish in particular. For a Michelin star restaurant the price was also very reasonable. We will definitely return in the future.

Quality dining, excellent service. Didn't like the dark deco. The wine list is good. The fish was outstandingly done to the point!

The restaurant, located in a beautiful historic villa, offers a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts in the city.

The décor, a tasteful combination of classic and contemporary elements, provides a relaxed yet refined setting. The large windows allow natural light to flood the dining room during the day, while at night, the softly lit chandeliers create an intimate and cozy ambiance. The menu at Villa Merton is a delightful mix of traditional and modern European cuisine, with a strong emphasis on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. One of the standout dishes that encapsulates the restaurant's philosophy is the **Marillenknödel**. These delicate apricot dumplings are a traditional Austrian dessert that Villa Merton has perfected. The dough is light and fluffy, while the apricots inside are sweet and slightly tart, creating a beautiful balance of flavors. Served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of buttery breadcrumbs, this dish is a nostalgic nod to classic European cuisine, executed with finesse and a modern touch. For those seeking something heartier, the **steak** at Villa Merton is a revelation. Cooked to perfection, it is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chefs at Villa Merton understand the art of seasoning and grilling, and it shows in every bite. The steak is accompanied by a selection of seasonal vegetables that are roasted to perfection, adding a lovely contrast of textures and flavors to the dish. The attention to detail in the preparation and presentation of the steak reflects the restaurant's commitment to excellence and its passion for delivering an unforgettable dining experience. Wine lovers will find themselves in heaven at Villa Merton, where the wine list is as carefully curated as the menu. The sommelier is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, always ready to suggest the perfect **wine pairing** for your meal. Whether you're enjoying the Marillenknödel, the steak, or any of the other delectable offerings, there's a wine to complement each dish beautifully. The selection ranges from robust reds to crisp whites, with a special emphasis on local German wines that showcase the region's rich viticultural heritage. The service at Villa Merton is impeccable, striking the perfect balance between attent

The restaurant presents itself with a very nice atmosphere with soft background music and lighting. The service welcomes you in a friendly manner without appearing artificial, and remains very attentive throughout the whole evening. The food deserves its Michelin star, even if the first two courses could not completely convince me. But the remaining three were excellent, with lovely flavors and textures and of course the best ingredients. The prices are absolutely reasonable for what was offered.

Visited Frankfurt for the first time and googled this restaurant. They only offered outdoor seating for lunch which was perfect match with the sunny day. It was a full house except for a couple of tables without sun umbrellas. The business lunch menu was pretty simple and reasonably priced. The melon soup really pleasantly surprised me. I will surely come when I visit the city again.

In general, wonderful evening with amazing food. The service was also of quality. Will definitely come back! However, just two issues we had on the night: one of the servers forgot my cocktail and I had to reorder; and it was our 3rd anniversary and we did mention it when asked on the booking site, but nothing special was done. I think because the information was requested, a simple dessert plate with some writings would have made a great experience!

Villa Merton is a very lovely place. We had a 7 course dinner including 2 recommendations from the chef. Every course was special on its own. You could clearly see the effort behind it and there were no culinary bounderies. Each dish was a combination of different cultures, and it was spot on. Furthermore, the taste surprisingly changed and it was enhanced by the excellent choices of wine. It was indeed a unique experience, truly worthy of the michelin star.

Very interesting experience. The people who are working there are very attentive and friendly. We ordered Überraschung Menu, all was made from the seasonal ingredients, but as it is stated in the name, be ready for surprises or better order exactly what you want.

Really amazing place. Impeccable service. Great wine list. Interesting courses and the chef also came out to check on us. A special occasion place that did not disappoint.

This place is not worth it. Yes it is a nice area, and the restaurant is located inside the premises of an old Villa, but that is about it. The food is mediocre at best, certainly not worth the price asked for. The service is good yet a couple of extra hands would be needed. At times you can wait up to 20 minutes in between courses. There is room for improvement starting from the place decoration to the food. I would not go back

Ate the 8 course tasting dinner recently. All were delicious. The service is superb, as is the ambience.
