Bidlabu in Frankfurt am Main - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

The restaurant located in a small ally which is cozy. Managed to booked a table right before they got the Michelin star, and the food was good, tasted the 6 course menu. Nice food quality but missing little surprise like the more vibrant vibe and not too uptight . We need more this type of restaurant in Frankfurt . Still a very good price quality restaurant . Would go back again

I really like my dinner yesterday.. the service was really nice and helpful.. I order the menu with 7 courses my favorite plate was the cod ! Epic !! Keep it up guys ! Nice work !!

Very fine and tasty restaurant, especially the price-performance ratio is right. Tasty to the point. Wine accompaniment is not always appropriate, but at least there is an offer to taste other wines. Service is usually attentive, but depends on how busy it is.

Simply always great. Everything. 1 small star deducted because the courses are often delivered too quickly when you have the entire vineyard management. Wine then usually has to be downed, which is always a shame with these wines so that you have the right wine for the right course. This could be timed a little better by the service. The rest is just perfect!

Unfortunately we were rather disappointed overall. The food was of good quality without being sophisticated or overbearing. The service was rather reserved but professional. Unfortunately we would have expected more

Absolute top address in Frankfurt!! Fine dining as it should be. Everything is harmonious, excellent dishes and wonderfully selected wine accompaniment. I don't think there's anything more that needs to be said about it. If the reader in this review is still considering reserving a table: Don't waste time, because the seats are highly sought after - and rightly so. PS: I have never (!) eaten strawberry ice cream like this in my life, it tasted like the better version of full-bodied, sweet strawberries in summer.

We love this everything about this restaurant. This is a true neighborhood spot. The winelist is fantastic with a long list of older GGs. We go to this restaurant every time we are in Frankfurt. We have even modified vacations just to stay in Frankfurt a night so we can go.

Excellent food! Each component is individually processed and presented in excellent quality. The service is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Wonderful restaurant, very good food and atmosphere. My only complaint is that the waiter at one point touched a piece of our bread with his bare hands and placed it on the table. Other than that, the dishes were spectacular, we both had the "non-vegetarian" tasting menu, and we were very impressed. The tomato soup was my favorite.

My first experience in such a category of restaurants and it was super tasty and beautiful.

Great food experience, everything was very delicious!

Excellent dishes beautifully presented. The vegetarian versions are also put together in great detail. The attentive and yet pleasantly reserved service is a blessing, you can feel very comfortable. Inside the ambience is pleasant, the seats on the street are a little rustic.

Really nice restaurant. Very focused menu - vegetarian and fish/meat. No frills. The food is fabulous, exquisite. The service was quick and very friendly. The only thing: it is quite expensive. In my opinion, €€€ would be the correct classification. The two of us paid €250 for two bottles of water and an aperitif. But I still really liked it! 👍

The quality of the food was excellent, unfortunately the new service was not convincing. The dishes and drinks were hardly introduced. We don't know whether it's due to ignorance or unwillingness to work. What a shame!

At Bidlabu I had my best meal in all of Frankfurt so far. Delicious compositions with great alcoholic and non-alcoholic accompaniment. Attentive service in a relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food, very good service. Interior is very simple.

Food or 5-course menu was okay, but not so much that it caused high praise. In Frankfurt there are restaurants with better more ambitious cuisine!!!! (e.g. WEINSENN) And the ambience? O.k If you like a train station atmosphere! Bistros or taverns are usually more imaginatively and nicely decorated.

Coherent and convincing menu Very attentive servicr

The food is very good, the service is also helpful and the atmosphere is also very nice.

The food was really delicious, and the wine accompaniment was also appropriate. Maybe we had a bad day but unfortunately the courses were served at an extremely rapid pace. Sometimes we couldn't even finish the right wine before the next one was served. It was also a bit of a shame that there was no real explanation of the respective courses and accompanying wines. Overall, we would have liked a little more time to be able to enjoy the very interesting courses more.

I had made a reservation at Bidlabu on the occasion of a big birthday and had discussed this with the service team - they wanted to give us a nice table at the edge and they had also registered the birthday thing. Unfortunately, all of this was forgotten on site. No one acknowledged the big birthday and our table was so uncomfortable that it's hard to put it into words. Right in the middle of the small room, which is already way too crowded - you constantly have people around you, are jostled while eating, and can neither have a good conversation nor enjoy the food. It may be that Bidlabu wants to be a simple Bistrot Dowtown that just happens to have a star - but with that star comes a certain amount of responsibility when it comes to service and ambience. Unfortunately, both were really bad that evening. The food itself was good, sometimes very good - but Bidlabu lacks the finesse and wow effect of other star restaurants. And so you wonder how the star came about - for us the visit was a bitter disappointment and we certainly won't be coming back. Incidentally, we communicated our feedback directly to the restaurant before I published this review. The reaction: Birthday and table requests were written down, but unfortunately no one thought of it that evening. That's explaining everything.

Absolute must! Excellent food and great ambience!

It was a really nice evening, we would love to come back!

We had a five-course dinner at Bidlabu with a matching wine arrangement. The restaurant is in a nice location and the atmosphere is very cozy. The food was very tasty with good combinations and the wine paired nicely with the dishes. While serving the dishes and wine, we only missed the explanation of what we were getting and which wine goes with it. I would definitely recommend it anywhere.

What we liked best was the service. Extremely friendly, but still professional. 10 points. The food was also really great. Overall, definitely recommended.

5 stars, I was there for my birthday and everything was excellent

It's a little hidden in the city center in Frankfurt, but it's no longer an insider tip. Had a very convincing 4-course menu, very good value for money. Great service, unobtrusive but attentive. Very good wines!

It was soooo good. The food was simply heavenly. I rarely leave a restaurant so happy. We booked the next appointment straight away. Thank you for the great evening with the perfect service 👌🏼 really, really great!!

My recent dining experience at Bidlabu in Frankfurt, a newly Michelin-starred gem, was nothing short of exceptional. Opting for the five-course tasting menu with wine pairing, each dish was a revelation of flavors, beautifully presented and perfectly matched with an exquisite selection of wines. The food truly lived up to its accolades, showcasing a mastery of technique and a deep respect for ingredients. The atmosphere at Bidlabu adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Despite its prestigious award, the setting is approachable and comfortable, making it easy to relax and savor every moment. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness ensured a seamless dining experience, from the warm welcome upon arrival to the thoughtful service throughout the evening. For anyone seeking a culinary adventure in Frankfurt, Bidlabu is a must-visit. It offers not just a meal, but a memorable experience that combines outstanding cuisine, superb wine, and genuine hospitality in a setting that makes you feel right at home.

a really fantastic restaurant. All dishes are exceptional but tasty and the portions are not too small. Good manner, great service. That's how it should be!

My absolute favorite restaurant in FFM! We recommend. Very relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Good wine pairing!

Fabulous creative cuisine in a casual bistro setting. Nice and attentive service. Good concept: 2 sessions in the evening at 6 and 8:15 p.m.; No a la carte, but 2 menus (one purely vegetarian) with 4 to 7 courses. Wine accompaniment to the individual courses is possible or bottled wine or by the glass. We enjoyed the fish course with cod and shrimp in a fragrant curry sauce best, as did the sophisticated pea soup. By the way: the 6 p.m. slot also works well and without time pressure because the team is very well organized.

What a nice surprise! Update 2024: the kitchen consistently delivers great food, but don't hold your expectations for a Michelin starred service. I encountered a rushed, erratic, and poorly thought out service. I got kicked in my shoes by the waitresses nearly every time they attended the table, despite every attempt to keep my feet out of everyone's way. The space during colder months is crammed and if you're looking for enjoying food in peace, you likely won't find it here. But you will find good food. I really think they would do better by moving out of city center and into a bigger space. After all this is what a Michelin star is about.. people going out of their way to enjoy really good food. In my view their concept is not working any more. It's way too crowded, and even the best waiter will struggle to deliver good service in such conditions. This is not a bistro and they should stop pretending being one. The meals are neither simple nor cheap, only the setting is.

It's so good, but now it's hard to make a reservation If you want to eat real food in Phu, where there is not enough food, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

Small restaurant. The food was very tasty. I ate the menu. Service at the table was quick and very friendly

We had a lovely evening at Bidlabu. The vegetarian dishes and dessert were particularly delicious. The fish and shrimp were missing that certain something. The cheese wasn't special. The service was very nice, even if we were forgotten for one course. But we were given a free drink as an apology, which we were very happy about. We'd love to come back!

Tasty, aromatic and rustic. The food was excellent but the choice of wine accompaniment was unfortunately not on point.

This is so far the best dinner I’ve have in Frankfurt & Munich! We did the 5 course tasting menu. Every single dish had a unique flavor which keeps you wanting more! Service was also amazing and each staff member had a smile on (which is not to easy to find in Germany)! The only thing I found interesting was that there was a guy who came inside the restaurant and went around all tables to sell roses - never saw this at a Michelin restaurant before.

simply always beautiful and delicious

Fabulous food, with a glass panel allowing you to watch the chefs being prepared. Very friendly staff and excellent wine pairing. The only thing that needs to be improved is the atmosphere, as the tables are very small and there is not much space in the restaurant. The time slots are also a bit tight for all courses.

Once a year we go out to eat together at a fancy restaurant. Unfortunately this year it wasn't as nice an experience as usual. Unfortunately, things didn't start off so well with the starters. The bread served was generally tasty, but most of the slices were very dry. So much so that you could even see it clearly with your eyes. If we as laymen can recognize this, I wonder how something like this can happen to professionals at this price range? Afterwards, my companion had a piece of aluminum foil (!!) in the soup. Here, too, I simply expect something different given the price range. The service also seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. One time a course (soup) was cleared away that had not yet been eaten. Furthermore, different waiters tried to clear a bottle twice and then noticed when they picked it up that there was still something in it. The second time I even had to explicitly say that it wasn't empty yet. I hope that these are simply small, exceptional errors that can definitely happen. Unfortunately it wasn't the best experience for us.

The food is really sophisticated and very tasty, but unfortunately far too little for the price. If you don't get full despite 5 courses and bread, something can go wrong for just under 90 euros per person without drinks. Unfortunately, the windows aren't tight, so it's really cold to the feet and also drafty. The furnishings are not shabby-chic but simply cheap and old. The cutlery is reminiscent of university times and canteens. The service is attentive, but the pressure to pay at the end is not good.

We were at Bidlabu last week to end the year in a star restaurant - the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment if they are not fulfilled. Unfortunately, that's exactly how it was. We had been keeping an eye on the Bidlabu for several months, the reviews were very promising and so were the pictures. When we arrived, our jackets were taken away very courteously and hung in the cloakroom - very friendly. The restaurant is generally very small and cramped: it is more reminiscent of a Parisian bistro than a Michelin Guide star restaurant. The tables were very small and damaged in some corners. Only two of us were offered an aperitif, the other two were not even asked. After five minutes, four glasses of Prosecco suddenly arrived… strange. The service got progressively worse from that moment on: the wrong courses were brought, the waiter coughed on our table - several times - and cleared it before we had finished eating and drinking, the sommelier was disinterested and unfriendly. Now about the food: There wasn't much variety to be noticed over the course of the 7-course menu. All the dishes were colorless and similar to the others. On almost all dishes there was a green oil smear with white foam and a wafer-thin slice of vegetables. The plates were all the same and some were not preheated. We were speechless when it came to the cheese plate: three loveless strips cut from a single block of cheese, stuck together with some jam and some cress - a real disappointment. At least the last course could brighten our mood a bit. We had to pick our jackets from a pile. Conclusion: Sweet, small restaurant that, despite sufficient staff, doesn't come close to meeting the requirements of a Michelin star - a shame!

4.5 stars!! One of the best meals we had in Germany was at Bidlabu, Frankfurt. Stepping in, you feel right at ease as the staff were all friendly and helpful. It was also a fuss free seasonal menu so pick as you will - 3, 4 or 5 courses (pair it with wine if you wish - or not) where they also cater for vegetarians. All the dishes were tasty though my personal favourite was the white tomato soup. It didn’t look like your typical tomato soup but it was. It looked creamy but it wasn’t. It looked pretty and it tasted absolutely fab - I’m still craving it today. If you’re ever in Frankfurt, I recommend making a stop here!

It hasn't been an insider tip in Frankfurt for a long time. Great restaurant in the middle of the city center and yet hidden. Wonderful food served on exceptional plates by the young, motivated team. A little break from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Always my pleasure!

Einfach perfekt. Gemütliches kleines Restaurant ohne viel "Gedöns". Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen, insbesondere das vegetarische Menü, ist grandios. Jeder Gang ein Geschmackserlebnis! Wir haben uns hier alle super wohlgefühlt!

every course was perfection! warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Sehr angenehme Bedienung. Sehr laute Gruppe von US-Amerikanern. Vielleicht sind solch große Gruppen nicht geeignet für dieses Schmuckstück. Dafür kann das Restaurant nichts! Das Essen war sehr lecker, ideenreich und harmonisch.

BidLabu ist eine Sensation, der Vibe in diesem Lokal ist immer wieder hervorragend. Und das Essen, jedes Gericht, Weinprobe & Klasse Service. Wir kommen gerne immer wieder ♥️

Das Essen war unbeschreiblich gut, wir waren im Gourmet-Himmel. Die Weinbegleitung sehr stimmig. Wir hatten (leider) das 1. Seating – welches manchmal beim Wechsel kritisch ist - würde ich nie wieder buchen - der Wechsel war sehr sehr holprig für uns - fühlte sich an, wie raus gekehrt - das geht sehr viel charmanter - das war kein würdiger Abschluss für dieses herrliche Essen. Das sollte der Service dringend optimieren. Meine Lernkurve: Ich buche nie wieder ein 1. Seating im Bidlabu - schade!!

Das Bidlabu ist ein nettes Bistro mitten in der Frankfurter Innenstadt. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Im Sommer kann man gut auf der Straße sitzen und das Restaurant entfaltet seine Stärke. Wenn es kälter wird, ist es nicht die erste Wahl. Das Essen ist ausnahmslos gut zubereitet und handwerklich gekonnt. Die Küche verfolgt einen angenehmen geradlinigen Geschmack. Ob das allerdings einen Stern Wert ist, ist eine andere Frage. Alle Gänge sind lecker - aber nichts, woran man sich auch noch am nächsten Tag erinnert. Das kennt man von anderen Sternerestaurants in Frankfurt besser. Beim Essen macht man nichts falsch, aber mitunter vermisst man doch die Rafinesse, die den Stern rechtfertigen müsste. Kurzum: Man isst es, es gefällt, dann vergisst man es auch. Unangemessen für ein Sternerestaurant ist jedoch der Service. Essen wird zwar freundlich, aber kenntnisarm auf den Tisch gestellt. Nachfragen zur Zubereitung oder den Zutaten können nicht beantwortet werden. Das ist schade, denn die Bezeichnung "Das ist Lachs, viel Spaß beim Essen!" wird der Vorspeise nicht gerecht. Zudem sollte auch der Service ein Sterneniveau haben, wenn man einen Stern hat. Zum Bistrokonzept passt wiederum die direkte duzende Ansprache, die jedoch manchmal etwas übergriffig wirkt. Die Bestuhlung ist eng und die Atmosphäre laut. Das ist gewollt, muss man aber wissen, wenn man hier isst. Einen entspannten Abend wird man hier schwer verbringen. Allerdings wird man wird mit spannendnen intimen Details der Tischnachbarn das Bistro verlassen. Das Slot-Konzept ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wer das Pech hat, nur zwei Stunden essen zu dürfen, wird recht schnell durch die Gänge gejagt. Mitunter hängt die Küche auch etwas, sodass für die letzten drei Gänge nur 25 Minuten bleiben. Das ist ärgerlich, denn gerade wenn es beim Essen auf jede Minute ankommt, muss man zeitlich souverän durch die Gänge kommen. Dem Essen tut man jedenfalls keinen Gefallen, wenn man weiß, dass man es schnell essen muss. Aufgepasst: Ein 7-Gang-Menü ist nur beim Slot ab 20 Uhr möglich. Das wird im Vorfeld aber nicht erwähnt. Fazit: Ein solides Restaurant, das zumindest in Sachen Service nicht das Niveau hält, das die Speisen versprechen.

Zum ersten Mal waren wir zu zweit im Bidlabu. Wir hatten schon lange darüber gelesen und gehört und waren gespannt. Da wir abends dort waren und es draußen schon recht kalt und regnerisch, zog es durch die schlecht schließende Türe. Wir brauchten zwei Gläser Wein zum aufwärmen. Beim nächsten Mal ziehen wir warme Schuhe an. Service sehr freundlich, persönlich und aufmerksam. Das 7 -Gang Menu war toll und wir konnten auch die einzelnen Gänge unter den Menüs tauschen, alles Easy. Jeder Gang schön dekoriert, geschmacklich top und abwechslungsreich. Die passende Weinbegleitung war wirklich passend, jeder Gang hatte seinen eigenen Wein - da spürten wir die Überlegung des Sommeliers. Ein gelungener Abend, der seinen Preis wert war.

Absoluter Favorit in Frankfurt :-) hier stimmt einfach alles und das Essen macht so viel Spaß!

Es war ein ausgesprochen leckerer Abend. Unser 6 Gang Menü war wirklich phantastisch. Schon das Amuse Bouche war ein Gaumenschmaus, und so ging es weiter. Jeder Gang war ein Genuss. Selbst das Brot hat wie ein Brot geschmeckt. Die Weinkarte lässt auch keine Wünsche offen, und der freundliche und aufmerksame Service haben den Abend abgerundet. Vielen Dank, wir kommen sicher wieder.

Ein kleines, enges und nicht leicht zu findendes Restaurant. Ist man erst einmal angekommen, fühlt man sich wohl. Herzlicher, persönlicher Service, überall gute Laune. Das Essen ist richtig gut. Gerichte sehr durchdacht aber nicht verkopft. Intensive Geschmacksbilder, hervorragende Frische der Lebensmittel, perfekte Portionsgrößen. Es gibt 2 Seatings, eines um 18:00 und eines um 20:00, was uns sehr gut gefällt. So kann man sich entscheiden, ob man früh kommt und anschließend z.B. in die Alte Oper geht, oder lieber später kommt und ein paar Gänge mehr isst. Das Restaurant hat das Zeug zum Lieblingslokal.

Es hat sich viel getan, seit ich vor fast fünf Jahren zuletzt dort war. Seht selbst.

Wir hatten in dem Restaurant ein hervorragendes 7-Gänge-Menü, mit super Service. Es war ein sehr schöner Abend.

Essen vom Feinsten. Man hat die Wahl zwischen 4 und 5 Gang Menue. Immer wieder eine Gaumenfreude.

Absolute Klasse an Küche und Service würde auch 10 Sterne geben, wenn möglich!

Great food! Wine pairing was very nice with large pours. Highly recommended if you desire an upscale German dinner in Frankfurt.

Das Konzept von Bidlabu hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Alles findet auf ziemlich engen Raum statt, was aber dem Erlebnis eine besondere und angenehme Atmosphäre verleiht. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Weinbegleitung gut passend. Auch die Weine, die wir privat eher selten trinken, haben zu den jeweiligen Gängen sehr gut gepasst. Und der Service war wirklich immer aufmerksam und freundlich. Alles in allem war es eine wunderschöner Abend. Klare Weiterempfehlung!

Hervorragende Küche in lockerer Atmosphäre mit freundlichem und total aufmerksamen Personal

Super cosy place with great food, wine and service. We enjoyed the 7-course menu with the recommended wine pairing. Excellent from start to finish. Definitely a restaurant to visit 👍

Das Essen war ein Erlebnis. Die Weine sehr gut gewählt. Kann man sich einmal gönnen.

Für uns das beste Restaurant… Danke für alle schönen Abende bisher!

Tolles kleines Restaurant mit hervorragender Küche. Sowohl das reguläre als auch das vegetarische Menü sind hervorragend. Der Service - v. a. die Weinbegleitung - ist klasse!

This is one of the best restaurants in Frankfurt. Wine pairing is highly recommended to have the 360° experience.

Alles in allem ganz Wunderbar!! Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend ❤️

Suuuuper lecker und wirklich nettes Personal. Da wird man zum Wiederholungstäter ;-)

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr schön angerichtet und nettes Personal. Das Lokal ist nur leider recht klein, sodass es doch etwas beengt ist.

Freitag und Samstag sogar mittags von 12 bis 14 Uhr geöffnet. Wir erbaten zur Öffnung um 12 Uhr einen Platz. War natürlich alles schon lange ausgebucht, wir durften aber auf Anfrage kurz vor 14 Uhr zurückkommen, um einen Drink zu nehmen (köstlichen Riesling und Grauburgunder bzw. Weißbier von der Eulchen Brauerei Mainz). André Rickert, der im Grunde durchgehend in Sterne-Restaurants tätig war und 2012 im Frankfurter Weinsinn erstmals den Michelin-Stern erhielt, steht hier mit seinem Team seit 2018 in der winzigen, einsehbaren Küche. Im Frühjahr 2023 wurden André Rickert und Patrick Löhl für das bidlabu wieder mit einem Stern ausgezeichnet. Uns fiel sehr angenehm der feinfühlige, unprätentiöse Service der Herren auf, die sich gegenseitig bei aller flotten Räumerei in dem kleinen Raum sehr viel Respekt zollten. Sorgfältig und liebevoll wurde die Küche aufgeräumt bis kurz vor 15 Uhr.

Ich war zum Geburtstag meiner Freundin dort. Die aufwändige Küche und der Wein haben uns sehr beeindruckt. Die Gerichte sind sehr lecker. Nach dem Nachtisch schenkte das Restaurant meiner Freundin einen kleinen Kuchen und Kerzen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns schöne Erinnerungen geschenkt haben. Wir sehen uns wieder

Von A bis Z ein unglaublich tolles Erlebnis. Vom Ambiente, dem ausgezeichneten Service bis hin zur atemberaubenden Küche. Verdient hat das Bidlabu seinen ersten Stern erhalten und dennoch seine Preise nicht nach oben korrigiert. Ein sehr angenehmer Zug, welchen man nicht mehr oft findet. Alles in allem ein tolles Erlebnis, welches wir immer wieder genießen werden. Danke
