Chalet 18
The bright and bohemian Chalet 18 prides
itself on its ethical, organic approach to French
fine dining, believing that food tastes better
when chefs are respectful of the natural
world. It’s hard to determine whether the
food’s brilliance is due to its environmentally
friendly origins or its exquisite presentation,
but whatever it is, it’s certainly effective. Each
dish served at this couple-run restaurant is
beautifully assembled, whether you’ve ordered
delicate scallops with baby carrots and
passion fruit or a refreshing pear tart served
with nougat and almond cream. Just make

Immer Satt
Intimate neighbourhood restaurant Immer
Satt or “Always Satisfied” may look cute and
cosy ñ but don’t be fooled by its down to
earth approach.This little gem serves a wealth
of elegantly presented German cuisine with a
bistro twist, located a leisurely 20 minute stroll
away from our Radisson Blu Hotel Frankfurt.
Be sure to sample the Zwiebelschnitzel mit
Kroketten, a delicious cutlet of pork bathed
in an onion sauce and served with crispy
croquettes.
Classico
On a bright summer afternoon, enjoy a
leisurely al fresco dinner in Classico’s rustic
patio garden.This restaurant serves a mouth-
watering selection of fish, soup and pasta
dishes cooked with fresh gourmet ingredients,
from Canadian lobster to Périgord truffles.
The daily fish specials are sourced straight
from the Mediterranean sea - try the tangy
fine-fish Carpaccio with lime and olive oil
to start, followed by a show-stopping main
course of monkfish medallion in a Dijon
mustard velouté.
La Boveda
The cavernous underground dining area
of La Boveda (or “TheVault”, in Spanish),
has become a favourite haunt of locals
and travellers alike. On some evenings you
can watch live flamenco dancers perform
captivating shows in the atmospheric chamber,
as you choose from a selection of fiery tapas
and traditional Spanish paella dishes.The
chorizo is delicious, but don’t leave without
indulging in some delicious fresh crab or
turbot from the seafood showcase by the bar.
Block House
Anyone who thinks you can’t find a good
steak house outside the American Deep
South should pay a visit to Bockenheim’s
trademark steak restaurant, Block House.
From the simple patio garden amidst soaring
skyscrapers to the rough-and-ready dishes on
the menu, there’s nothing pretentious about
Block House - it just serves great steak. Select
from over five different cuts, ranging from a
12oz rib eye mastercut to the slimline fillet
mignon, add one of their hearty side dishes
(the baked potato, heaped with sour cream, is
especially good), and expect nothing less than
perfection.
