Dinner at Chairs, Frankfurt, Germany - 2 White Toques Gault/ Millau, Nose-to-tail Fine Dining, Natural Wines, Casual Atmosphere

Chairs belongs to the group of restaurants that provide environmentally-conscious fine dining in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Gastro critic Ludwig Fienhold describes Chairs as a gourmet-tavern - as opposed to a gourmet-temple. 
 
The guests were on the younger side with a number of them wearing a baseball cap or a bob cap during dinner - hipsters.
 
In terms of food, the menu is relatively small and changes regularly adjusting to the 4 seasons. Chairs buys from local farmers and pays attention to a species-appropriate animal husbandry. Chairs follows the nose-to-tail eating principle. In fact, the main course of our 4-course surprise menu was an entire pig head.
 
In terms of wine, the focus is on natural wines with many wine producers on the list that mainstream wine drinkers have not yet heard of. 
 
We ordered the 4-course surprise menu for Euro 75 (available only for the whole table). We had the equivalent of 13 liter 0.75 bottles of wine and paid Euro 205 per person, including a tip of 10%.
 
A very lively, entertaining evening. Annette Schiller and I will be back.
