Description: With an exceptional design, surrounded by the dignified facade of the Städel Museum of Art, the Holbein’s opened its doors in 1999 and was reopened with a new gastronomic concept and redesigned interior in 2012. While being an adventure café with bistro cuisine during the day, in the evening excellent restaurant with demanding kitchen: Enjoy a break from art with fine dining!

The Holbein's is located really nicely just by the Mainufer. It offers a wide range of really delicious dishes and drinks (the drinks have really funny names). I guess you can eat basically anything on the menue, from the Ceasar's salad with the chicken satay to the creme brûlée. The breakfast list is rather short and the portions rather small for the price, but then again, you also pay for the location that is just excellent and for the service that is very attentive.

The food is terrific, imaginative without being fussy or extreme, and very well prepared: the best tuna steak I have had in a very long time. Service is delightful, and the dining area is light, airy and spacious. If you are spending the morning in the Stadel Museum, it is worth popping into the restaurant first, to book a table, and avoid disappointment.

My wife and I had both been to Holbeins before, but never together. We went on a lovely summer evening for dinner. The terrace was full, so inside was relatively quiet, although they were turning people away who hadn't booked. Tables are I think too close together and it would be nice to have a bit more space and privacy. Food was excellent; contemporary international class food,, so relatively rare for Germany. I had the tuna tataki for starter, with spinach salad. This was well seasoned, very fresh and every mouthful was a joy. My wife had the prawns, which looked good but she thought was a relatively small portion with just three shelled prawns. My main, the milk fed veal was absolutely fabulous, my wife's Hereford beef was "very good". Both starters and mains though we're relatively simple dishes which we thought we could easily recreate at home. The key was the quality of the ingredients, and there is no doubt Holbeins uses wonderful raw ingredients in its food. Desserts were more complex (beyond our skills we think). My wife had the chocolate dessert and I had cherry sin. While both were still good, I enjoyed my starter and main more. Bread (walnut and white) was excellent and replenished once. I ordered a bottle of Austrian Sauvignon blanc, which went well with the starters in particular. With coffee, whole thing was around €200 including tip which I reckon was decent value given the quality of the food. Service began well with an attentive waitress but she seemed to have gone off shift by the end and it became much less attentive. I would say Holbeins is as good a restaurant as I have been to in 3 years in Frankfurt

We were taken to Holbein's by friends who live in Frankfurt. We enjoyed a wonderful evening. Everything about this restaurant was superb. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The food was delicious and the ambience first class. Highly recommended.
