Emma Metzler in Frankfurt am Main

For years I have been coming to this restaurant regularly to eat or to celebrate important events, but this time I was very very disappointed. The service was really beyond imagination, not competent and quite unfriendly: a real disgrace. When we asked what the "leek ash" was in the whipped butter they serve with bread, the waitress more or less explained how it's made and then added that it doesn't taste like anything anyway and they just sprinkle it on because it looks nice. Point two: and this is really something I have never experienced anywhere in Europe (let alone the USA or Canada). They seated two people with a dog next to us - the table was very close - without asking us if he was bothering us, even though there was enough space elsewhere in the restaurant. Then, since the two dog owners were friends with the staff - either the servants or the assistant chef - they brought the dog a fillet of raw meat and the dog started eating it on the floor. I'm a vegetarian and I felt sick from the smell of the dog and the raw meat on the floor - unimaginable in a restaurant like this! I don't know if the chef wasn't there or if he was on vacation, Anton de Bruyn is usually attentive and very good at his job. But the dishes today also seemed to be poorly prepared, and where they had changed something, there were no well-chosen combinations. I'm very sorry: certainly the staff should be better selected and when changing the daily specials, make sure that there are chefs who can find suitable combinations. It's a shame, I won't be recommending the "Emma" - which used to be one of my favorite places in Frankfurt - and won't be coming back any time soon.

The service was unacceptable for a restaurant in this price range. Example: No reception after entering the restaurant. Despite having reserved a table, we had to speak to several service staff until someone took care of us. Took about five minutes. The assigned table was still dirty. Wine recommendation was limited to "We have Riesling and Chardonnay". Where from, by whom, year, character etc. were not mentioned and were only partially known even when asked. Order was acknowledged with “okay”. Food was placed on the table without comment. The court's usual statement did not take place. Especially with the cheese plate, we don't yet know what was on the plate. No smile, no friendliness. We didn't feel welcome, we felt like guests in a company canteen. Service staff stand together and chat while guests wait. In summary: food good (with exceptions, for example fish too salty), but service bad. We advise against Emma Metzler. Too bad.

A really nice evening at Emma Metzler. Had a reservation at 6:00 p.m. and received a friendly welcome. Service was attentive but unobtrusive - I never waited long and it didn't feel intrusive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also really pleasant and the toilets are clean. The taste of the food was delicious and it also had a lot to offer visually. The sourdough bread with butter leek ash was a very good start, I also really enjoyed the main course, potato rösti with kale sprouts, Béarnaise & parsley pesto! The sheep yogurt parfait with sake gelato & meringue was also an exciting combination and a perfect ending. A very pleasant visit throughout – I’ll be happy to come back

Absolutely brilliant dinner at Emma Metzler x Muku - lovely service, wines and creative dishes. Looking forward to coming back soon 🍜

Great cinema! Modern gastronomy perfectly implemented. Thank you for existing.

We were definitely there for the last time yesterday. What actually happened to Emma Metzler? The food was beyond bad. Trout with side dishes. The trout came to the table "naked" without skin. Was this cooked? The side dish was supposed to be a puree, but consisted of a few hard cubes of potatoes, 2 blanched kale leaves and an undefined white sauce with hard capers. The icing on the cake was that I had to have pepper and salt brought because the food definitely didn't taste like anything and was almost cold. In hindsight, I would have been better off returning the food. To make matters worse, I had a total upset stomach and couldn't sleep at night. That's not how it works! If you think you want to “realize” yourself in some way, like “new sustainable, creative cuisine, hip, etc., then not at my expense! There are plenty of other nice restaurants in Sachsenhausen, or elsewhere in Frankfurt, where you can get honest, authentic and high-quality food. Emma Metzler saw us for the last time. Thank you for nothing.

Super good service - attentive and friendly! Special cuisine - wine bar similar. 70s style furnishings.

It was our first time there and unfortunately we were very disappointed with the Christmas menu. The menu was inconsistent and unfortunately we couldn't enjoy any of the courses. The ox cheeks were cooked extremely well, but the bone marrow was negligible and the Jerusalem artichoke puree was over-salted. The sturgeon was completely drowned by the cashew butter and the buchtel was far too hard and tasteless. It only took an hour from arriving at 6:20 p.m. to leaving the restaurant because the courses were served extremely quickly one after the other and there was no festive mood. After the Buchtel was served, we were asked, plate in hand, whether we would like another espresso. It all felt very much like an assembly line process and not loving or welcoming. Our friends are big fans of your store and we had high expectations, unfortunately they were disappointed.

Yesterday we had dinner at Emma Metzler. Everything just fit perfectly. The food is great, the service was very attentive and the atmosphere is just great. Anyone looking for a great evening with fine dining is guaranteed to be in good hands here. I will definitely go again!

In principle it is a good address. Since it was downright perfection last year, we're going to Emma Metzler again this year. The expectations were correspondingly high. Unfortunately, this year we couldn't quite live up to the standards set last year. The bread seemed a little juicier and crispier last year, the soup was spicier last year and you didn't need more. Unfortunately I only had a lot of foam and little of the soup. The beetroot with sage was okay but the final kick was missing. The kohlrabi was absolutely first class.

Stable but unfortunately a bit underwhelming. The shop has a great atmosphere. The menu reads great, but sometimes looks and sounds more sophisticated than it tastes. The drinks were super good, especially the grapefruit margarita. Service was great until some of the group returned a meat dish. We were treated to a round of drinks, which was great. Unfortunately, the staff largely ignored us afterwards and the kitchen was unreasonable. Mixed experience - you can do it, you don't have to.

All hot air. We've been to Emma Metzler twice now and left disappointed each time. The shop is beautiful and the garden is very idyllic. Unfortunately, the food cannot keep up. The price-performance ratio is blatantly poor. Smallest portions, tough meat, unseasoned side dishes and a limited selection. You can eat much better and cheaper in Frankfurt.

Great modern restaurant with an interesting menu. The staff is friendly and competent. The beef tartare and the ragout were really excellent and left nothing to be desired. I personally find the price-performance ratio to be very reasonable. Really great experience today and I would like to come back again soon.

Recommendation - very good cuisine, creative, very good quality and extremely nice service.

Super loud, unfortunately it sounds extremely loud. The service and the “reception” were very unfriendly and it started off badly.

As part of a company event, I had the opportunity to test the cuisine of this place. The starter was convincing, dessert was ok. However, the taste of the soup was a disaster and the beef in the main course was largely just tough. Neither the potato puree nor the sauce tasted convincing in any way. If you make portions small, then they should be at the height and “kick”! It's a shame, I expected a lot more from this iconic restaurant...

Hip location with a pleasant, down-to-earth atmosphere. Nice, courteous and unobtrusive service. Fine dining that is absolutely worth the price. Very extensive drinks and especially wine list. We would like to keep this in mind for another time because, in addition to the above impressions, it is 100% barrier-free

Service is great and very professional, which is rare in Frankfurt. Great wine list! Starters are really good and full in flavor (Tatar is especially good, and overall meet dishes). When it comes to fish, mains are not special, and sometimes disappointing.

Excellent on every level. Going back soon for dinner.

Exceptional food - very modern and versatile, very good wine list. Attentive service, sometimes a bit overwhelmed on a crowded Saturday evening. Nice setting in a Museum, they have private parking.

Yes, Emma Metzler has a very eventful history. Lots of new chefs, renovations, from a high-end restaurant to a museum restaurant, etc. Nevertheless, the terrace facing the park of the same name is of course quite enchanting. And the young people from the service are extremely hard working! Inside it currently looks more like a canteen. But we had a good time. The wines tasted very good, although they were also expensive. We didn't try the kitchen arts today.

Disappointing experience. Food was bland and uninspiring. Nothing particularly exciting given the steep price. I do not recommend

Because of the mostly good reviews, we spontaneously decided to visit - unfortunately our expectations were not met. The tartare was good, nice textures and surprising presentation, the smoked char was completely masked by the other flavors of the course, and the overall impression of the dish didn't really come together. The Jerusalem artichoke soup was decent, as was the deer ravioli, but without a lasting impression. The main courses - duck and gnocchi were disappointing - from the quality of the meat to the sauce, which tasted almost exclusively of cold duck fat, to the gnocchi, which was so dusted with paprika powder that other flavors were completely masked. Damaged dishes and inaccurately clean plates shouldn't happen in a restaurant in this price range. The wine recommendations were ok, but we missed a really good pairing. At 14€ 0.1l glass there would be more... Unfortunately, we couldn't understand the good reviews (Falstaff, Michelin).

We celebrated a special occasion with a medium-sized group (approx. 30 people) in the restaurant and had a perfect evening all around - from the highly professional support during event preparation to the evening itself with an excellent menu and extremely attentive service, we were extremely pleased satisfied. Our guests have also repeatedly praised the wonderful food and the very good drinks. Really everything was great and can only be recommended!

Good food in a very nice location

Great food, superb quality. Service attentive and very friendly. Was there with friends who have never been before to Emma Metzler. They enjoyed it very much as well. Am a longstanding guest there, freiends celebrated their wedding there - Emma Metzler is always a great experience and worth a visit.

Always a highlight. With food AND wine accompaniment. That you can maintain and confirm this level again and again! Cheers! A huge thank you to the entire Emma Metzler team.

I didn't eat in the restaurant, but I found the refused help and lack of empathy shocking. During the dark season I was threatened with a knife in the adjacent park and the work crew was sitting at the table at the end of the day. I came running, banged on the window in a panic and there was no response at all. Remember, I didn't know if they were still following me. When I was in front of the restaurant and called attention to myself, an annoyed employee came and asked what was going on. I then reported that I was being threatened (the communication was between glass, the door didn't want to open). No helpful response, I didn't know how to get out of the situation as the perpetrators could still be lurking nearby. At least she gave one tip: “Call an Uber” before she went back to her work colleagues. I HOPE THIS MAKES YOU THINK

Essential menu with both land and sea proposals… especially the artichokes fried courgettes stuffed with potatoes (too watery in my opinion) Good tartar even if it isn't very convincing to the eye, the spices used cover the flavor of the meat. the bill? higher than the food eaten

Muy amable recepción y consiguió una mesa en el terass. Ambiente relajado y todo el mundo era muy amable y cuidando para que tuviera un tiempo muy agradable allí. La comida era interesante, sabrosa, única; para mí la mejor experiencia gastronómica en Frankfurt

EVERYTHING is just really cool! Thanks

Always an absolute pleasure! Every time we visit this restaurant we are amazed. The friendly staff ensure a pleasant atmosphere and are always available to offer great wine recommendations. The changing, fresh regional dishes offer a wonderful variety that makes every visit a special experience. Simply great! An absolute recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food and excellent service.

In a nutshell: The Emma Metzler offers carefully prepared dishes with a rotating selection, attentive and friendly service in a beautiful ambience not far from the banks of the Main. The prices are reasonably high. A table reservation is recommended.

Always an outstanding culinary experience! 🩷

Tartar is always an absolute poem. The taste is as deep as Schiller's bell is long. Texture as delicate as Rilke in his best years. Atmosphere laidback, but highly professional. Wine selection best. An absolute must for me every time in FfM. Short text in English: Trust. Worth it. Always.

Unfortunately, warm food is only available until 2 p.m. Also no small menu with cold dishes... Upon request, a waitress organized a few slices of bread and some herb butter... a shame...

It's always best to order everything once! Plus a great wine selection and super attentive people who take care of you!

Simply a great place and the restaurant with the most well-rounded overall concept in the city. 1A wine list, top service in a great location. Fine food that is also incredibly sexy. Emma Metzler on 1st place

I would say that this is one of the best restaurants in Frankfurt. The quality of the food, the presentation and the taste are amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and the park right in front of it is super beautiful. We planned to have lunch there and we ended up staying for hours. Highly recommended.

Super kind staff and the food was incredible!!

The food is not bad… but the service and atmosphere is good

As natural wine lovers, we discovered this nice restaurant using the Raisin app. The food was very tasty and wonderfully presented, the natural wine/orange wine was excellent. We were also allowed to spontaneously taste a local natural wine, which we also really enjoyed. Service was attentive. My companion had a delicious tartare, bread had to be ordered with it.

I have now visited Emma Metzler twice. Unfortunately, it didn't blow me away both times for the prices quoted. The starters were good, unfortunately the main courses were disappointing both times. Glasses were also dirty and the tables wobbled.

Delicious food. Very nice, especially outside in the garden.

The location is very nice. The service is friendly and good. The menu is relatively clear and sometimes a bit overambitious for my taste. However, the dish I ordered and the side dishes were impeccable.

Dear Emma Metzler team, Last Saturday we visited your restaurant and are unfortunately extremely disappointed with our stay. The price-performance ratio simply does not exist here. About the service: We were served by a total of 4 different waiters that evening. The wine requested with the main course was not served and only upon request was it served with dessert after a minute-long delay (without any information about the origin, special features, etc. of the wine). Advice on choosing a wine was not offered in advance. During the stay, the tables in the guest room were re-set for the next day with a high level of noise and low employee motivation (shuffling around with slumped shoulders and an annoyed expression...). We had to proactively make the staff aware of the ice cream confectionery that was to be delivered in advance before the Madeleines were ordered. About the dishes: The starters (beef tartare/asparagus dish) were solid at best. No surprise on the palate, no finesse, but still qualitatively processed basic ingredients. All in all okay, but not considering the estimated price (17-19€) The main courses (red mullet/duck) were a failure both in terms of craftsmanship and taste. The red mullet was accompanied by green curry (a loveless combination of pak choy, dill and very little spice). The main actor himself swam in smeared “sauce” which largely consisted of frying fat (judging by the taste). You didn't taste much of red mullet here and would probably have the same and at least honest taste experience at the grilled chicken stand around the corner for significantly less monetary outlay. The reaction to this criticism of the main course “Thanks for the honest feedback, I'll be happy to pass it on” is more than disappointing, not only in view of the price level of the restaurant but also in view of the plate language below, which reveals a technical error in the preparation . Here it would have required at least an apology in the form of a discount, a digestif on the house, or something similar. All in all, we are more than disappointed with an evening whose price is in no way commensurate with what is on offer.

One of my newest favorite restaurants in Frankfurt! Great food with high quality ingredients and delicious drinks :)

The ingredients are high quality. The preparation is too hipster-ish for my taste - pork with raspberries, or asparagus with some kind of herb pesto and "noisy" hollandaise sauce may be the latest fashion in London or San Francisco. I would prefer a more classic kitchen. Excellent bread, very good cakes. The wines are good, but too much like orange wines for my taste. The guest is not granted tablecloths, as is usually the case anymore. The terrace is beautiful. We waited more than an hour for the main course after the starter and the service was not flawless. Given the prices, that shouldn't happen.

Price/performance doesn't quite match. No greeting from the kitchen, bread has to be ordered, 4 euros. Tartar too coarse in our opinion, 2 of 3 marrow bones were barely filled, i.e more appearance than reality. Asparagus menu is very manageable (5 sticks), as is the pork terrine or the chocolate confectionery. Overall it was okay - but nothing more.

Metzler is simply one of my favourite restaurants in Frankfurt. Always on my list for special occasions and important guests.

Beautiful ambience and very friendly service. We thought the aperitif and starters were fantastic. However, the main course was a bit unspectacular. But I would definitely come back and try something different.

Emma Metzler‘s outdoor terrace is beautiful. The service was attentive and quick. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn’t convince us at all. 4 sticks of asparagus cost almost 30 Euros- way to much for the quality delivered. At the ceviche with kimchi, I wondered what the chef‘s ideas were. The tartare was also just mediocre. Overall therefore not recommended.

Well 👍 run restaurant, right on the Main.

I haven't been to Emma Metzler's for many years and was excited to see how the restaurant has developed. Here are my impressions: The starters in particular were excellent and are recommended (tartar, bone marrow, ceviche, also the whipped lavender butter). However, the main courses (pork belly, char) were too salty for us and weren't entirely convincing. The wine list is interesting and also includes unusual items. The service was initially quick and attentive, but later in the evening we were ignored, despite various attempts to make ourselves noticed; The conversation with colleagues at the counter was obviously more interesting. Overall, good with some room for improvement.

Mashed potatoes are sweet and the sausage doesn't taste good. The price is very expensive for this. The waitress are very friendly. Ambiance is very nice. Wait a long time. Limited menu. Nothing is seasoned.

Das Restaurant versucht seit einiger Zeit „upmarket“ zu wirken, was sich aber vor allem in den Preisen zeigt. Vier(!) Stangen (mittelmäßig schmeckender) Spargel mit etwas (wenig) Kartoffelpüree (alles aber „kreativ“ für‘s Auge sortiert und dekoriert) kosteten 29 Euro. Well, kann man machen, muss man nicht. War früher mal eine nette Location. Jetzt, finde ich, geht es in Richtung Nepp. Wer‘s mag…(die Location der Außenterrasse im Metzler Park ist recht nett, ich werde allerdings das nächste Mal allenfalls ein Getränk bestellen, da es genug andere nette Restaurants in SH gibt, bei denen das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis besser passt).

We waited 15 minutes and no one came.

We ordered bread with lavender-infused fresh cream, seafood ceviche, asparagus tempura, lamb (main course), cannelloni (main course), and white asparagus with sauce hollandaise and mashed potato (main course). They were presented very delicately with lots of creativity. However, in our opinion: 1) The asparagus tempura and seafood ceviche missed flavor as they usually have in their original recipe. 2) Portions were too small for the price. 3) The ambience and service were exceptional. 4) Best of all the dishes was the asparagus with mashed potatoes and sauce hollandaise.

Mega service, brilliant wine list and simply fantastic food. You just feel passion there. Top!

We had the Easter menu with 5 people. From the amuse gueule to salmon trout, goat cheese flan to Lacaune sheep and rhubarb desert, the food was a delight for the senses. Very good service and a nice selection of wine and sparkling wine rounded off the visit. We were very satisfied.

Very friendly, competent staff, but the seats are quite hard, cool and rather uncomfortable. The dishes were of very high quality, but we couldn't taste the highlighted ingredients. All in all, we found “Emma Metzler” a bit too expensive and overrated.

If you are told when making your reservation that vegan is not a problem for the kitchen and then you are simply given the crepe with chicory without the crepe... It's like the baker putting a slice of cheese on my plate without bread and that it's gluten-free Stulle praises. If I can't or don't want to offer anything vegan, that's fine. But then I have to say that and not make any false promises. The fact that other parts of the order were incorrect or forgotten rounds off the picture of a completely overwhelmed workforce. The restaurant wasn't even 20% full.

Too expensive for the taste offered, service not unfriendly but very inattentive, hair in the butter, food oversalted, tap water sold for 4 euros. Wine prices OK. It's a shame that it's the first but also the last time. PS: there is a noticeable odor problem in the toilet

Beautiful restaurant with delicious, exceptionally prepared food. Very special and delicious. Just a little noisy in the interior, that could be improved. Otherwise completely successful.

Great, cozy atmosphere, super delicious food and very friendly and personable staff. It doesn't get any better.

Excellent food, great service, knowledgeable staff, great wine selection that doesn't just consist of the usual names. Price performance fits, top food in a great location!

This is my favorite restaurant in Frankfurt. I would recommend a museum visit and having dinner here afterwards. The atmosphere is very nice and it is quiet so you can enjoy the conversation. The waiters are very friendly and attentive with wonderful recommendations. … and the food is really amazing. Christian was spot on with his recommendations and was so accurate and nuanced with his descriptions. Nazar was warm, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant uses fresh ingredients making creative use of what is in season. They also have a really good wine menu. Make sure you stop by when in Frankfurt.

Wir waren zum ersten aber nicht zum letzten Mal da! Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und unglaublich nett auch von der jungen netten Kellnerin bedient . Der Mittagstisch setzt Maßstäbe für Frankfurt und ist von der Qualität ein Traum. Mir hat das Ambiente incl. der Hintergrundmusik sehr gut gefallen! In der Mittagszeit kenne ich wenig Locations die diese Atmosphäre in Frankfurt bieten!! Danke wir kommen wieder. Der kleine Geburtstagsgruss war sehr lecker. Nochmals Merci!

Smelled like a toilet at the table...

We (party of 4) have unfortunately had a negative experience. It started of rather well, with a nice aperitif. We were placed in a very cold area, which is understandable due to the negative temperatures outside, but still inconvenient. To our disappointment, the first course was too small and the chicoree dish was hard to define. The main course (duck) was lukewarm, tough and tasteless. Male toilets were closed, flushes did not work. Smell in the toilets was unpleasant.

Wir waren hier am Sonntagmittag vor einem Besuch im Städel Museum. Reservierung klappt unkompliziert online (und ist dringend zu empfehlen), sehr netter Service, kleine Karte mit raffinierten Gerichten auf hohem Niveau. Es war ein Genuss, der preislich vielleicht einen Tick drüber war (oder wir sind die Frankfurter Preise einfach nicht gewohnt). Trotzdem auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

Geschmackliche und optisch wieder auf hohem Niveau, die schon immer Service freundlich, unkompliziert und einfach nett. Allerdings waren die einzelnen Speisen winzig klein. Die Vorspeise aus gedünsteten Chicorée war extrem lecker, bestand aber etwa aus einem Viertel Chicorée. Wie immer im Emma Metzler, obwohl ich keine große Esserin bin, musste ich mindestens vierSpeisen essen um satt zu werden. Und das hat seinen Preis und liegt dann bei 80-100 € nur für das Essen. Die Weine sind auch nicht gerade günstig, aber sehr lecker und toll ausgesucht. Da ich das Ambiente, die Mitarbeiter und den Essensstil sehr mag, werde ich immer wieder hingehen.

An amazing experience in Frankfurt. Don't miss it. We had just landed in Frankfurt, drove to the restaurant and were blown away by the food and the service. Highly recommend it.

Preis / Leistung klaffen weit auseinander. Es beginnt mit der Reservierung. Telefonisch angefragt und um einen ruhigen Tisch gebeten mit Bank (wg. Hochzeitstag und gesundheitlicher Einschränkung). Dame am Telefon sehr nett, aber ich solle das doch bitte online machen und auch das mit dem Hochzeitstag reinschreiben. Als wir ankamen, stellten wir fest, dass der Punkt mit der Bank nicht berücksichtigt wurde. Wir haben dann noch einen 2er mit Bank mitten drin bekommen. Wozu schreibe ich dann was?! Service war okay, Essen überbewertet und dem Preis nicht angemessen. Brot zur Suppe muss man extra zahlen (echt jetzt?). Wasser gibt es nur als Kraneberger (Leitung gefiltert). Grundsätzlich gut, aber es schmeckt auch wie Frankfurter Wasser. Alternative nicht vorhanden. Zwei Getränkewünsche gingen unter (es war nicht voll). Die Gänge gingen Schlag auf Schlag als ob man die Gäste schnell loswerden will. Nachspeisen waren interessant und wir fragten uns, wie man den Geschmack vermeiden kann. Das Beste war das Mandelplätzchen ;-) Die Stühle laden nicht zum verweilen ein, vielleicht ein Grund für die schnelle Menuabfolge. Insgesamt ein eher enttäuschendes Erlebnis für den Preis. Und satt ist man auch nach 3 bzw 4 Gängen nur Dank des Brotes was extra kostet :-) Bei 2 Personen geht es stramm auf die 200 Euro zu oder können leicht überschritten werden. Dann lege ich lieber einen Schnaps drauf und besuche andere Lokale in Frankfurt. Gibt ja genug Alternativen. Sorry, unseres war es nicht.

Es war super lecker, quasi ein Träumchen! Kann es wärmstens empfehlen. Toller Service und sehr freundliches Personal.

Very good restaurant adjacent to Museum für angewandte Kunst. Creative dishes in a casual environment. Great service to boot. Reserving a table in advance is recommended, as free spots fill up quickly especially on weekends.

Wir waren als Familie am ersten Weihnachtstag zum Essen da und es hat uns super gut gefallen. Es ist viel gemütlicher als auf den Fotos, wir sind ausgesprochen freundlich empfangen und bedient worden und das Essen war wirklich gut.Wir kommen gern wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal und eine angenehm entspannte Atmosphäre, selbst am Feiertag. Wesentlich gemütlicher als auf den Bildern

Super Adresse in Frankurt für sehr gutes Essen. Im Sommer hier draußen zu sitzen ist ein Träumchen!

Die Atmosphäre ist zwar deutlich schöner gemütlicher, als die Bilder vermuten lassen, leider war das Essen für den Preis jedoch überhaupt nicht überzeugend. Das Tartar bestand praktisch nur aus Kartoffelbrösel und schmeckte daher auch nur danach, der Waller war kaum gewürzt, die Ente war zwar geschmacklich gut, aber hart und die Kohlrabi-Hauptspeise, bestehend aus einer winzigen, nicht durchgegarten Scheibe Kohlrabi mit nach nichts schmeckenden Birnen für 25€ war meiner Ansicht nach eine Frechheit- auch von der Menge war dies allerhöchstens eine Vorspeise. In dieser Preisklasse findet man in Frankfurt deutlich bessere Restaurants.

Far more than a mere museum café, this restaurant in Frankfurt's museum of applied arts (angewandte kunst) is very good. Fresh, home-made sourdough bread daily, a "nose to tail" philosophy for the meat, and clearly excellent staff both in the kitchen and waiting tables make this a restaurant worth seeking out.

kreativ, regional, unglaublich lecker - ever best favourites bleiben Knochenmark und Tatar !

Nette Location mit einem sehr nachhaltigen Speisenangebot. Reichhaltige Weinauswahl und wer auf Naturweine steht ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Aufmerksamer Service, gute Beratung und alles in allem sehr lecker. Wir durch die Bank bestellt und viel probiert. Absolut zu empfehlen ist die Ente und der Dessert mit Quitte - sehr sehr lecker. Gefehlt hat ein wenig die Erläuterung der Speisen und das Ambiente könnte noch etwas mehr Wärme vertragen. Letzteres ist aber ein rein subjektiver Eindruck und würde unabhängig davon immer wieder kommen. Also absolut zu empfehlen!

Immer wieder wenn in Frankfurt- und noch viel zu selten! Wirklich angenehme Atmosphäre, schlichte aber genussvolle Küche und teilweise tolle Weine!

Complimenti! Il mio nuovo ristorante preferito a Francoforte. Consiglio assolutamente

Vom E.M. liest man recht häufig in Gastroführern. Nachdem ich dort war, habe ich aber doch etwas gemischte Gefühle. Das Ambiente hat bisschen was von einer Uni-Mensa in poppig eingerichtet, aber auch das hat einen gewissen Charme. Der Service ist okay (2 von 3 Mitarbeitern waren top), könnte für meinen Geschmack etwas häufiger am Tisch vorbei schauen. Nun aber zum wichtigsten: dem Essen. Die Vorspeisen waren exzellent - dafür gibt es volle Punktzahl. Die Hauptgerichte waren eher okay-ish. Da hätten bei der Zubereitung etwas mehr wert darauf gelegt werden können. Ebenso der Nachtisch: kreativ und spannend, aber nur bedingt geschmacklich überzeugend. Der obligatorische Espresso danach war wieder gut. Alles in allem also: kann man mal machen, muss man aber nicht so oft hin - oder wie es Freunde machen: nur Vorspeisen bestellen.

A lovely cafe/ restaurant, friendly staff, vibie atmosphere and a really cool interior design ✨💯

Hervorragende Küche, ausgefallen und von bester Qualität. Die Auswahl auf der Speisekarte ist allerdings sehr limitiert und man muss sich schon sehr auf die Einfälle des Koches einlassen. Sehr teuer. Die Speisen sind sehr aufwändig und sehr schmackhaft zubereitet, vom Gegenwert aber einfach. Tartar ist exzellent, Kalbscarpacchio sehr gut, als Hauptgericht gab es aber nur Hühnchen oder Fisch, wobei das Hühnchen sehr delikat angerichtet war, aber vom Fleisch her nicht überzeugen konnte. Vorspeisen und Nachspeisen sehr ausgefallen und gut. Habe im Nachhinein den Besuch bei Emma Metzler mit einem Eventbesuch ähnlich Galerie, Museum, Theater o.ä. verglichen

Bei den negativen Kritiken ging es den Besuchern wohl eher um Formalitäten bzw. zu dem zu Stoßzeiten u.U. überforderten Service... WIR ... wollten die Küche von Anton de Bruyn probieren und wurden nicht enttäuscht! Die wirklich originelle Küche machen das EMMA METZLER zu einem zeitgemäß urbanen Restaurant par excellence mit Gerichten die überzeugten: Wir genossen als kalte Vorspeise dünn aufgeschnittene Steinpilze aus deutscher Wildsammlung mit Birne und Sonnenblumenkernen für faire 19 Euro und als Hauptgericht auf der Haut gegrilltes Schollenfilet aus niederländischer Stellnetzfischerei mit Haselnuss & grüne Mole für 35 Euro. Der empfohlene Sancerre Les Chasseignes (Domaine Fouassier) mundete und schlug (leider) mit 65 Euro zu Buche; wobei sich das gesamte Weinangebot sehen lassen kann! Gerne kommen wir bei der nächsten Ausstellung im Städel Museum wieder!

Delicious creative cuisine. You won't find ordinary dishes here or dishes that can be found elsewhere. Each dish is a composition of its own and paradise for gourmet lovers.

Our first lunch in Frankfurt during our city break, this was an absolute gem of a find. The food was beautifully presented, and so delicious. I can still taste the flavours when I look at the photographs. The staff were wonderfully attentive and very forgiving of our lack of German. A meal here is a must-do if you are ever visiting Frankfurt.

Great food, great atmosphere and attentive service! Defo recommended!

Nice ambient, interesting great food. Formal service.

Nice place with cool atmosphere and super friendly staff.

Naja, wenn man die Beschreibung auf der Karte durchließt, erwartet man was schmackhaftes. Man bekommt aber durchschnittliches Essen einfach pfiffig serviert. Wenn man auf der Karte „homemade Grüntee Kombucha“ ließt, denkt man dabei nicht, dass man Sprudelwasser mit Holundersirup bekommt. Die wirklich sehr bemühte und netter Kellner haben aber keine Ahnung, was die servieren. Und die Karte dabei ist SEHR schlank. Die Administratorin war sehr aufmerksam. Kaputtes Waschbecken und dreckige Toiletten gab es als Bonus dazu. Zu viel Hype, zu wenig alles andere. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Alles sehr hilfsbereite und freundliche Mitarbeiter*innen!

We celebrated our civil wedding at Emma Metzler and can only highly recommend this place for a date night, birthday, wedding or a dinner night out with friends. The Service, Food, Drinks & the whole atmosphere have been outstanding and absolutely phantastic for us. All of our 30+ guests have been extremely happy and we will come back for sure. Thank you for everything!

Wir hatten ein super Abendessen im Emma Metzler. Immer einen Besuch wert und sehr zu empfehlen! Auf extra Wünsche und Allergien wird auch immer eingegangen. Vielen Dank!

Absolute Empfehlung! Das Emma Metzler weiß genau, wie es einem einen schönen Abend bereiten kann. Wir haben mit Sauerteigbrot und Zitronenbutter und zwei Vorspeisen angefangen, unter anderem mit dem Rindertatar, welches das Beste war, das wir bisher gegessen haben (🤤). Dann hatten wir zwei der Hauptspeisen: eine mit Zucciniblüten, die absolut göttlich waren, also unbedingt probieren, und eins mit Rinderrücken, der ebenso lecker war. Schließlich zwei Desserts. Wir waren von allen Gerichten begeistert. Die Weinkarte ist eher naturig gehalten, aber super spannend und echt fair bepreist. Wir haben uns zwei Flaschen bestellt, die beide toll waren! Und schließlich der Service - alle waren nett, schnell und zuvorkommend. Man wusste genau, wie wir uns am schnellsten wohl fühlen. Dadurch hatten wir den gesamten Abend über viel Spaß. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Gerade abends eine schöne Atmosphäre. Und die Speisekarte sah auch echt gut aus. Leider waren bei uns 2 von 4 Gerichten geschmacklich nicht ausbalanciert. Die Preise fanden wir nicht angemessen. Die sitzmöglichkeiten draußen waren wackelig und unbequem. Drinnen sah es aber sehr gemütlich aus. Mit dem Service haben wir uns nicht Wohlgefühl. Er war langsam, unaufmerksam. Und nach meinem Feedback, welches aus einem Lob einer Kritik und noch einer positiven Feedback bestand, ging der Kellner ohne eine Wort und gab mir dann das Gefühl das er uns meidet. Sehr schade. Da hätte ich mir mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Ein „danke“ oder „gebe ich weiter an die Küche“ oder einen Espresso auf s Haus gewünscht. Leider hatte ich das Gefühl er würde es persönlich nehmen. Der Rückenmark Gang soll laut meiner Begleitung richtig gut gewesen sein! Leider befürchte ich, dass wir trotzdem nicht wieder kommen.
