About Best Frankfurt
Best Frankfurt helps residents and visitors find the right restaurant, shop, hotel or service in Frankfurt am Main, with rankings written in English.
A compact city with a global address book
Frankfurt am Main is small by the standards of other financial centres, yet it is one of Europe's most international cities. Bankers and consultants, trade-fair visitors, students and families from around the world share the streets with Frankfurters who have lived in Bornheim or Sachsenhausen all their lives. Its airport is among the busiest in Europe, and the Messe draws exhibitors and buyers from every continent throughout the year.
What Best Frankfurt offers
Best Frankfurt gathers rankings of the city's standout businesses, written in English: restaurants and cafés, bars, hotels, shops, fashion, beauty, health, education, transport and services for business. Every entry includes the location, a telephone number, opening hours and a few words on what makes it worth your time.
Our editorial work
Our editors cover every category district by district, from Westend and Nordend to Bockenheim, Bornheim and Höchst, weigh the standing each business has earned with its customers over a long period and verify every practical detail before it is published. The lists are then checked again at regular intervals.
Practical Frankfurt
Living here comes with a few local habits worth knowing. Most shops close on Sundays and public holidays, some smaller businesses still prefer cash, and many restaurants take a rest day early in the week. Apple-wine taverns often keep their own rhythms too. Check the hours on each listing before you set off.
For newcomers and visitors
The guide is for people who have just moved to the city for a new job, colleagues in town for a few days, and Frankfurters who want a reliable recommendation in English to share with friends from abroad. It is equally useful for families settling in for the long term, who need a paediatrician, a school or a dependable tradesman.
