Some highlights of your Food Hopping food tour Frankfurt:

• Right in the heart of Frankfurt, yet still unknown to many, your tour kicks off in a historic location dating back to an era when news didn’t yet travel in bits and bytes and in real time. What once housed riding stables and the imperial post offices, is today the home of creative gastronomy in a stately atmosphere. Your Food Hopping experience starts with a fashionable sparkling beverage à la Frankfurt in the picturesque inner courtyard.

• This famous “mother” is a local institution! The cosy restaurant, which nestles under the high-rise towers of the banks next to Frankfurt’s most elegant shopping street, takes you back to the 60s. Here the food tastes just like mother used to make, and we join the devotees of good taste who come dressed in suits, work clothes, and designer dresses to delight in the finest Frankfurt soul food.

• A modern alchemist awaits us in this former pharmacy: The charming owner Jens is keen to make a clear statement against mass production and prompt an awareness for good food. He gave up his high-flying marketing job and dedicated his life to refining Frankfurt’s “liquid gold”. This is why the shop’s cabinets no longer contain medicines, but fine, handmade droplets of Apfelwein. Once you’ve tasted a single-apple variety of this Hessian cider, your impression of the drink will change for good!

• At the other stops, you get to sample Goethe’s favourite meal in a traditional, award-winning family establishment close to a hidden cloister yard; discover the cradle of Frankfurt food culture – along with its fish tank in the cellar; feast on a hearty main course at the house of the first “cider queen”; drink a toast clinking an item of fruit at a former "marriage market", just like former German chancellors or stars like Nicolas Cage and Lionel Richie did before you; enjoy a Frankfurt speciality already famous for 175 years and lovingly crafted by family masters in the fourth generation; cross the river Main from above and below; and much, much more.
