Picture: Frankfurt at Night

I could only watch it from a distance: On the weekend of October 6 - 8, 2023, Dirk Eisel took a group of "Hungries" on a most exciting food and wine tour in Frankfurt downtown and the greater Frankfurt area. Knowing Dirk quite well, I was not at all suprised by his choices - all excellent, if not world-class.

I have added a few pictures of the restaurants and wineries were Dirk took the group from my blog Schiller-Wine, with links to my postings. 

The Hungries 

What are the Hungries?

The Hungries: Our community of international food lovers is made up of hundreds of members, based all over the world – in Scandinavia, Europe, North America, and even in Asia. Chat with us daily on our online forum, ask for travel tips and recommendations, and hear industry rumors and restaurant news before anyone else. VIP members also have access to discounts and perks from restaurant, shop & hotel partners, and get first access to all events we host.

Join The Hungries and meet people who are as food-obsessed as you are. No matter where you’re traveling, you’ll always have a local to give you the best recommendations in town, and maybe even meet you for a meal!

The Hungries in Frankfurt

The Hungries on X-Twitter: We have a tradition in The Hungries of naming the first member in a city our “mayor” – especially if the person is very active and acts as an ambassador for their city. Few mayors can live up to the enthusiasm of @dirkeisel, our passionate Frankfurt commander. Recently, he had a bunch of Hungries in town visiting him, and he arranged the most amazing food & winery tour for them! In Dirk’s own words:

Ever since I joined The Hungries, I have been lobbying for people to come to my hometown of Frankfurt. […] Last weekend, a fearless group comprising @sabrinavidal_, @svein_mathisen, @nghial, @vsgarberg, @norusuku, and @_henrikdam kindly trusted me and arrived for a tour of Germany’s most underrated foodie city.

The stops included:
- dinner at @bidlabu_ffm, Frankfurt’s latest one-Michelin-starred restaurant which offers rather classical, but enjoyable bistronomy cuisine and wines
- lunch at @ramen_muku_frankfurt, which not only serves the eponymous soup, but also a broad selection of “Japanese tapas”
- sausages at legendary 83-year old Ilse Schreiber’s market stall in @kleinmarkthalle_frankfurt food market
- natural wines at @coolclimate wine store just around the corner from Kleinmarkthalle
- dinner at @emmametzler_restaurant where chef @anton_de_bruyn serves modern nose-to-tail dishes from locally-sourced produce.
- lunch at the newly-opened, excellent @ciccione.pizza, which serves Roman-style pizza al taglio and also has a nice wine list
- winery visit at @kaischaetzel in Nierstein, in the midst of harvest.
- dinner at @restaurant_gustav, one of two restaurants in Frankfurt that have been awarded two Michelin stars
- winery visit at @oekonomieratrebholz, one of the best wineries in Germany
- lunch at the @weingutbernhardkoch winery Wine Pavillon
- winery visit at Rings winery where brothers Steffen and Andy Rings have turned their parents’ fruit farm which sold wine in bulk into one of Germany’s finest producers of Riesling and Pinot Noir
- dinner at Dirk’s culinary living room in Frankfurt, @chairsffm.
