Many restaurateurs would probably do a lot for the location of this place.

The Frankfurt house on the city limits of Neu-Isenburg naturally has both municipalities as a catchment area.

It can be reached by bike, by short or long route, and because it is directly opposite the terminus of a tram line, it is also perfectly accessible by public transport.

It has a parking lot, and those who come by car and can't find space there can park their car in the park-and-ride area at the train station.

The history of the restaurant is long, in short the building is an eighteenth-century licensed forester's lodge that has become a popular tourist destination.

From a purely visual point of view, it has everything that can make the longing for coziness ring out: half-timbered houses and defiant windows, a guest room with lots of wood, an enclosed garden with tall trees.

Fine wines and game dishes

The restaurant had a great time when Ulrich Mlcoch ran it for 13 years from 1991, with a down-to-earth, home-style, yet very ambitious kitchen, which he later established with Hartmut Schranz in Main Nice.

Today, the Frankfurt house is operated by three restaurateurs, appropriately from Frankfurt, the property belongs to an investor who is also involved in Sachsenhausen, among other things.

They started with a food truck last summer, while renovation work was taking place in the building.

In December 2022, the restaurant began operating under the new owners, between green-washed walls, with a small, good selection of wines, mostly white ones, at fair prices and a range of food dominated by meat, with game above all.

The venison roulade in a Burgundy jus is recommended without any major reservations.

It has a strong roast crust and is well stewed until tender, so it doesn't disintegrate as soon as the knife hits it.

Cranberry pear and hazelnut crunch go well with it, only the red cabbage lacks expression.

A Zürcher Geschnetzeltes wins with a very aromatic Rösti, a Wiener Schnitzel proves that panko in the breading is not necessarily a good idea.

Although this creates a very crispy bite, it cannot compensate for the lack of the typical tone between full and tender in a classic preparation.

Conclusion after various visits: main courses eaten that you don't have to regret.

And appetizers that are sure to be remembered.

For example, a creamy mushroom soup with a portion of turnips under a Parmesan lattice and a salad of pickled, wafer-thin sliced ​​colorful turnips with deep-fried sage, the bread is also good (main courses up to around 30 euros).
