Funky Mr Salvador in Frankfurt am Main

We found the atmosphere unusual but actually very chic for a meal for two. The food was without exception delicious and had a nice flavor pairing. If you don't decide on the menu, you should have the concept of sharing explained to you beforehand. Otherwise you sometimes have to wait a long time for the next meal. That wasn't quite as nice. Even if you order, guests who come in long after you get the same dish first. You have to like it. For anti-alcoholics the choice is also rather limited. Still a recommendation because you rarely get such creative dishes. Please ask the service: if hollandaise is on the menu and you get blue mold hollandaise, you should let us know in advance.

Excellent food, excellent value, very kind service

Very cool location, food was excellently put together with great product quality. Was fun. Thanks

A very great experience at Funky MrSalvador. Delicious wines, very creative, high quality food. The whole restaurant is kept nice and dark. Our tables, which are also black, but made of metal, lead to a small deduction. Without a tablecloth it doesn't feel like it fits in with the rest of the restaurant. The drinks leave water marks on the table, which were constantly visible while eating.

We had a great evening for two! Every single dish was on point and offered many taste explosions. The service was also really top and attentive! Highly recommended ✨

Great evening - perfect date location We had a great evening at Funky Mr Salvador. It was already my second visit. The first time in spring inside the guest room, this time in the outdoor area/summer garden. Ambience: both perfect date locations in their own right. Inside very reduced, helps to focus on the food and what is opposite, outside the summer garden, very tastefully decorated. The plants around the outside create a small city oasis. Food: extraordinary small dishes with that special something - for example the hollandaise with blue mold, or the dessert with the extra umami kick of bitter, sour, sweet, salty. The card Either to share, for the FOMO group or as a surprise menu. Both great. The great wine advice tops it all off. Particularly noteworthy is the extremely friendly and approachable service. Many thanks to Duran and team, you were wonderful hosts. We'll be back ☺️

A great place for people who like to experience and talk about food. Staff was very enthusiastic about the dishes and shared impressions with us. Obviously the staff and kitchen staff care deeply about taste. Wine recommendations were spot on. Everything was very fresh and from as nearby as possible. Definitely want to go again in autumn or winter to try a different menu.

No recommendation! My visit was a year and a half ago, but that doesn't change the impression I was left with - after an extremely expensive birthday dinner: an almost unsympathetic host, a mixture of arrogant and not really in the mood. An ambience that is not appropriate for the prices and self-portrayal. Above all and most importantly: out of 8 dishes ordered, not even half were convincing and not filling (2/person). Not funky at all.

Light and shadow, I think, describes it very well if you have spent an evening at Funky Mr. Salvador. It starts out shady in the completely dark entrance area. You almost think you've landed in a Speak Easy Bar - mysterious and hidden. The service is friendly and leads into the equally dimly lit small dining room. The menu sounds very good at first, most people will probably choose the surprise menu with 4 courses (amuse gueule, bread, 3 dishes, 1 dessert) on a first visit. So do we. The drinks menu surprises with its lack of breadth and - sorry - ridiculous offerings for people who don't drink alcohol. A glass three quarters full of ice and water, plus a splash of non-alcoholic aperitif from Lidl - bang - eleven euros. And otherwise? Water or coffee. We have already had a non-alcoholic wine accompaniment made from juices in restaurants of a similar class. And that the 12 euro Negroni in the glass later was maybe 100ml, okay. Anyway, let's let the palate games begin - we're going to "eat" and not "drink". The greeting from the kitchen, a small fish cake with crunch, really tasty. Really made me want it: crispy, juicy on the inside, fishy, ​​great. The purchased sourdough bread with clover butter that was served afterwards was also very good, even if the butter could have had more oomph. Unfortunately there are no small plates with bread. My companion had fun collecting little piles of crumbs on the table. So you can also get creative as a guest. The first dish, grass-fed beef tartare, was pleasant, the buttermilk sauce with French chili was fine. In my memory, the wild herb salad that came with it consisted exclusively of rocket, but I'm no longer sure. The second dish, green asparagus with oats, nuts and - completely new to us - lardo, a very fatty Italian bacon, was really a delight. Balanced in taste, lukewarm, a really nice dish (light). If it weren't so tiny (shadow). Suddenly I understood why the waiter initially said that if you order a la carte, you should order up to four "dishes" per person. Dish No. 3 surprised us with the most expensive dish on the menu. The back of Hessian Maibock with asparagus and white sweet potato was nice, the meat was well cooked and tender, but unfortunately the entire dish ended up being a little too acidic. At least it remained slightly unpleasant in the mouth. The dessert, an ice cream with cucumber, dill and meringue, was a surprise at all the tables. I liked it, my companion didn't like it at all. Maybe it's supposed to be polarizing, at least it is at the tables around us. In the end I left the restaurant a good 200 euros poorer and unfortunately not really full - maybe that's a good thing, as my stomach increases with age. I fluctuate between 3 and 4 stars, I don't want to be unfair. But ultimately it's the drink menu and its pricing that makes me choose the lower value here. Most of the dishes are either too small or not balanced enough for Funky Mr. Salvador's own standards. Light and shadow. If you only drink alcohol and don't care about money, you are welcome to order 4-5 dishes for yourself, explore the taste highlights for yourself and are sure to have a nice evening at FMrS. All in all we found it okay - nothing more, nothing less.

The food was so good. The service was also perfect. 100% recommend

We had a great evening!! Thank you for the wonderful menu!!! It was a real firework of flavors!!! Salute

The bartender works with night vision goggles! Spectacular! Great cuisine, great wine expertise, a great experience!! Very charming!!! Highly recommended.....would have given it 6 stars

As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted in a friendly manner and your jacket is taken away from you. You are led through the dark restaurant to your seat and immediately feel at home. The dishes are all very tasty and original. There is a lot on the menu that I would never have tried if I had only read the ingredients. But you will be pleasantly surprised by these dishes and taken on a journey of adventure. The wine list is small but fine, the wines that you can find on this menu reflect the quality of the restaurant, only top wines. We will definitely come back to repeat this experience.

Very fascinating and creative dishes, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere! We had a wonderful time there. Will come by again.

We had a wonderful evening here. We ordered 5-course meals (one of them vegetarian), with corresponding very competent wine recommendations. All we can say is: wow! Light, music, wine & food on a big city level. We found the service perfect, attentive and yet discreet... such a beautiful combination that you rarely experience.

This restaurant was on my list for a long time and finally tried for my birthday dinner. The inside was very dark but had a cozy and romantic vibe. Staffs were also very friendly. They explained the concept of the food and how it is better to order. So basically the foods here is based on "sharing" so they recommend to order at least 5 dishes for 3 people. And the foods were, I would say, experimental. But even though the food is for sharing, portion was still too little. If they serve a little bit more, then it definitely worth the price. But I still want to try here again on special occasions.

Out for an experience, not only a special place to dine? We had one saturday night. I do recommend Funky Mr Salvador. It is not the menu dishes and the people, which we by the way experienced as excellent. It is about their focus on and intention to ease you through a relaxed wonderfull evening, with focus on taste. After getting acquainted, we decided to let the staff guide us and chose the ¨surprise 4 course¨ option accompanied with one glass of wine. The better experience for an affordable price, which we don´t pay every eveving. Downside is you do need to reserve your table ample in advance.

Very classy and chic atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food. Would be well deserving of a Michelin star, but apparently they’re too cool to care about that 😎 Their chef likes being creative with ingredients and you can really feel the effort that goes into creating each dish. Must reserve in advance as it’s quite a small indoor venue during winter.

Top food, we had 10 dishes, one better than the other. Super nice and competent service. One of our new favorite restaurants in the city!

We were there on New Year's Eve with a large group. The menu was fantastic! Very varied and exciting courses - everything prepared to perfection. And we were more than full. The service was very attentive and the atmosphere in the dark room was very special. We had a great start to the new year at Funky!

The food was great! Super individual and full of flavors. The atmosphere is really relaxed and yet chic. Very friendly crew. It was a great evening!

My absolute favorite in Frankfurt! Good food is my passion and I particularly enjoy eating at Funky Mr. Salvador. I have to say I'm very picky when it comes to food, but I've never had anything to complain about at Funky. The dishes are not only lovingly prepared but also very inspiring. I love the creative constellations and it is always an experience. The service is extremely attentive and very well coordinated, you can just tell. I'm already looking forward to the next time!!

Funky Mr. Salvador promises not only a name with pizzazz, but also an upscale dining experience. Unfortunately, this promise remains unfulfilled. The dishes may want to think outside the box, but in reality they end up on an overpriced dwarf portion plateau. The service at Funky Mr. Salvador seems less like an experienced crew and more like insurance salespeople who are desperate to sell you a policy - in this case, however, culinary insurance that is supposed to protect against taste disappointment. After the concept of sharing is kindly explained to you for the fourth time, the service seems more like a lost rhythm, and the waiting times between courses could be like a marathon - only without the sporting joy. Even when someone politely points out that the taste of a dish is wrong, there is no answer - as if the taste were a secret that only the cook should know... A little more professionalism and a little less sales pressure might be more likely to convince guests to come back. Funky Mr. Salvador may be reaching for the stars, but right now the restaurant finds itself in more of a culinary Bermuda Triangle. The price is high, the portions are low, and the taste seems to be on a rescue mission. In this case, perhaps “Funky” is more of an invitation to rethink the concept.

Delicious food, great service and a super romantic ambiance. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Frankfurt.

Small portions, way too expensive. Quality ok, but not worth the money. The waitress should have worked in the insurance sector and tried very pushily to “sell” additional courses.

Almost too inconspicuous from the outside and very dim inside but harmonious. When it came to the food, it wasn't entirely clear what portions you could expect. The supposed main courses (around €15) were explained to us as “similar to tapas”. Depending on the selection, a starter + a "main" was sometimes sufficient, but not others. Drinks were ok, but on the expensive side. 0.15l glass of wine ~9€. There was beer, for example. B. unfortunately not. The food was really tasty and, given the probably good ingredients, the price was also justified. The service was also friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there is still a shortcoming from our point of view. Unfortunately, the starters and the “main courses” were very mixed up. Some in the group had already eaten the starter and main course and others had nothing on the table yet. When asked, reference was made to the concept of “what’s ready comes.” Here you could certainly work on the processes in the kitchen or design the menu in such a way that it is clear to the guests that starters do not necessarily come before the mains.

Special atmosphere and fantastic food.

Very tasty and somewhat unusual food, with well-mixed drinks, very friendly and courteous service in a nice, slightly dim atmosphere. Highly recommended. The slightly higher prices are justified by the excellent food - only the portions could be a bit larger for the price.

Through a recommendation in "Frankfurt goes out" we became aware of the restaurant Funky Mr. Salvador, which was advertised as an up-and-coming address in the casual fine dining sector. The entrance area: a bit narrow and dark, inside the first thing you see is the bar, which reminded us a bit of the Seven Swans. The ambience in the restaurant itself is very dark, but quite cozy and creates an intimate atmosphere despite the tight seating. The inside area is not particularly large and all tables were occupied when we visited. Fortunately, sufficient distance was maintained from other guests, which ensured a certain level of privacy. The menu was fine, small, but you won't find any great creativity. In terms of taste, the dishes were tasty and solid, but with room for improvement. The heifer ribeye could perhaps have been a little more tender, and less pop might have been better for dessert. The service was undoubtedly attentive and friendly, but the processes didn't seem to be completely in place yet, as we were served the starter first and only then the aperitif. In terms of price, the restaurant is in the fine dining segment, especially in terms of portion size, we are at the upper end here. In Frankfurt there are definitely restaurants with better value for money and a nicer location/ambience. In total we spent 90 minutes in the restaurant, paid 190 EUR and had a lovely evening, so the restaurant is definitely worth a visit. However, for us it is not a place that we would visit regularly.

Sehr gutes Ambiente, aber man muss sich darauf einlassen. Wahnsinnig kreatives und leckeres Essen in top Qualität! Ein Geheimtip für Genießer.

We had the whole menu, shared, a wonderful experience. Japanese'ly. My son said, best Japaneae he found outside of Los Angeles. Nothing of this "fusion-type' of mainstream cuisine. Highligjts were 'brussel sprouds', 'fermented cabbage'. Same goes for the cocktails. Thank you👍👍👏👏

Immer wieder gerne. Service überragend, Essen klasse, Portionen beim 4-Gang fast schon zu groß - also weit mehr als fair, tolle Getränke bei toller Empfehlung, Innenhof sehr gemütlich. Bis bald!

Der gesamte Abend war sehr schön! Vom Service, über das Essen, bis hin zur sehr entspannten Atmosphäre hat wirklich alles gestimmt. Eine große Empfehlung!

Schöne Location, vor allem im Sommer draußen auf der Terrasse. Das Essen ist ok, bestimmt nicht das Beste was man in Frankfurt bekommt. Die Auswahl bei den Getränken und bei den Speisen ist sehr klein, wodurch man nicht immer fündig wird. Preise eher hoch gehalten.

Für mich eins der besten Restaurants in Frankfurt. Hier bekommt man so gutes und leckeres Essen, das wirklich extravagant ist.

Essen wirklich super. Service im Restaurant ebenfalls. Der Empfang vom Restaurantchef(?) allerdings absolut indiskutabel. Wir waren 10 Minuten zu früh und wurden rüde im Regen (und sehr unfreundlich) wieder weggeschickt. Dem Niveau nicht angemessen, aber der Erfolg macht vermutlich arrogant.

Leider völlig überbewertet. Wir haben uns sehr auf den Besuch gefreut und Wochen im Voraus reserviert. Die Location ist cool und das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Aber Essen und Getränke sind leider nichts besonderes und völlig überteuert. Für eine Dose Bier 7,50 zu verlangen ist deutlich zu viel, trotz coolem Ambiente

Etwas überbewertet und teuer. Haben uns mehr Geschmacksvariationen erwartet.

Really cool place with fantastic food and service. They serve (how I would call it) Japanese-style tapas and the absolute highlight were the fried Brussels with garlic.

Das Essen war sehr lecker aber die 10 Euro pro Saftschorle find ich happig

Cosy, small, funky restaurant. We were somewhat disappointed with the food however, some of the dishes were too greasy and burnt for our taste.

Waren gestern im Japan Pop-Up. Alles sehr eng bestuhlt so dass man gefühlt beim Nebentisch mit am Tisch sitzt. Japanische Izakayaspeisen lecker und vielfälltig, allerdings merkt man dass kein Japaner am Herd steht

Great Japan Pop-Up. Incredible Food and cozy atmosphere.

Unglaublich tollen Abend im Funky Mr Salvador! Sehr gutes Essen, aufmerksames freundliches Personal und private Atmosphäre. Wir können es von Herzen empfehlen und werden definitiv wiederkommen. Danke an das tolle Team!

Toller Service, nette Drinks, schummrig interessantes Ambiente. Das essen ist? ausgefallen und besonders, schmeckte fantastisch und lässt uns gerne wiederkommen

Chapeaux! Thanks for the lovely evening! The service was pleasant, the atmosphere romantic/chic and the food delicious. It was not the most spectacular combination of different flavors but definitely very creative. I think this restaurant will become one of our favorites in Frankfurt.

Wir hatten einen sehr gelungenen Abend bei Funky Mr Salvador. Das Essen war wirklich sehr gut und aufwendig gemacht. Richtig tolle Geschmackskombinationen. Außerdem merkt man dem Team total an dass sie mit Begeisterung dabei sind. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und wir kommen wieder!

Wer mal was anderes sucht ist hier genau richtig. Tolle Atmosphäre mit den dunklen Raum, indem man sich voll aufs Essen konzentrieren kann. Tolle Essenskreationen. Kommen auf jedenfall wieder :)

top speisen, kreative drinks, freundliches personal

Für mich das spannendste Restaurant Frankfurts !!! Passt einfach alles …

Best food and atmosphere for a good evenings discussions.

Top Essen, kreative Kreationen, süße Terrasse - verbrannter Lauch ist sehr zu empfehlen als Vorspeise, super lecker!!!

Wunderbar in jeder Hinsicht. Danke für den netten Abend. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Der Service ist hervorragend, die Atmosphäre schön. Das Aperitif Menü ist übersichtlich. Das Essen war gut, jedoch entsprach es nicht ganz den Erwartungen und hinkt im Verglich zu anderen Top Restaurants in Frankfurt hinterher. Man gibt sich zu viel Mühe für die Präsentation, sollte sich lieber etwas auf die Basics konzentrieren (z.B. Rumpfstück war trocken).

Fancy drinks uns sehr leckeres innovatives Essen

Nice restaurant. Excellent, attentive and friendly service. Creative dishes although we find some dishes are a bit too greasy. I might have put too much of the ‘green oil’ in the food. The price is a bit high but compare to the quality of food it is not expensive at all! Vibe: super nice but too dark inside. We couldnt even see the entrance. All in all it is a must visit place.

Ein kleines Juwel im Frankfurter Nordend! Der Inhaber und zeitgleich Gastgeber Duran empfängt die Gäste herzlich und erschafft damit direkt Wohlfühl Atmosphäre. Das Essen ein Traum, kleine aber gute Weinauswahl. Das Highlight des Abends: das Dessert mit BBQ Ganache - purer unerwarteter Genuss.
