Baseler Eck - Frankfurt - we ate at this restaurant on March 24th and April 9th and enjoyed the great German "home-cooked" meals. We had a particularly good time on April 9th when we ate in the back room with a bunch of United Airline flight crew members who obviously enjoyed each other's company off the job as well as on the job. They included us in the conversation and we had a rollicking good time. A bit noisy but good food, good fun. No wonder people are willing to wait to get served when the place is so busy.Baseler Eck - Frankfurt - we ate at this restaurant on March 24th and April 9th and enjoyed the great German "home-cooked" meals.

Established in 1936, Klosterhof is housed in an old Monastery, and we enjoyed a tasty lunch there one day. We came across it and were tempted in by the traditional looking menu and the sunny beer garden. The large outdoor area was filled with lunching office workers, as was the character-filled interior.

We settled at a large wooden table and ordered a Romer Pilsner from the very friendly waitress. The menu had plenty of stodgy options and we decided on a sort of 'Bubble & Squeak' type dish with schnitzel, and a beef dish with cabbage and dumplings. The B&S was really tasty, and I ended up taking over this meal from Alex as I wasn't so keen on the flavour of the beef dish or the very gluggy dumplings.

The food was very filling, the beer was nice and cold and the setting was lovely. Recommended at least for a drink on a sunny day.Established in 1936, Klosterhof is housed in an old Monastery, and we enjoyed a tasty lunch there one day.

After a morning of shopping, sustenance was in order, and the mild autumn day meant I was keen to dine alfresco. Wandering down pedestrianised Grosse Bockenheimer Strasse, we decided to stop at Das Wirtshaus as they had an available table outside and the prices looked reasonable.

Lunch was in full swing, and it took a while for us to get the waiters attention to order. Service continued to be very slow throughout our meal, but at least it was friendly.

More beer was in order of course - well, we were on holiday in Germany. We accompanied it with some tasty and fattening Breaded Veal and chips/potatoes. I am very glad that I don't live in Germany else I would be the size of a house!After a morning of shopping, sustenance was in order, and the mild autumn day meant I was keen to dine alfresco.

Romer Bembel is a bar and restaurant located smack in the middle of the beautiful Romerberg (central square). Prior to our trip I had read that it was surprisingly un-touristy, so we decided to brave it for drinks and dinner one evening. Not the cheapest option, but enjoyable.

We chose a table out on the square, as the evening was not too cool (and there were heaters as well). We ordered a couple of small (half litre) beers and relaxed for a while, enjoying some people watching in the square.

As the light faded it was time to eat before I got too tipsy (I'm a cheap drunk!), so we ordered from the interesting menu - a Filet steak with potatoes and herb butter, and a Port knuckle with cabbage and of course potatoes. A couple of glasses of red wine were in order as well, as was a slice of Apple Strudel for dessert. Thankfully it was a 20 minute walk back to our hotel.Romer Bembel is a bar and restaurant located smack in the middle of the beautiful Romerberg (central square).
