Schwarzer Stern in Frankfurt am Main

The food is very tasty and the service is great too! Thank you.

Service OK. Food good. Ambiance suitable.

The pumpkin soup and schnitzel were absolutely delicious. The staff's behavior was exceptional, with a special shoutout to Mr. Malik for his outstanding service.

A good atmosphere restaurant with plenty of seating. Food quality is various but good size portions. Beware of upselling however.

Ate there today. Portions are heavy in relation to the price - so I don't think so. Unfortunately, due to the speed in which the food came to the table, it can only be assumed that the dishes were well prepared. Unfortunately I can't recommend it, but it was full (with tourists?!).

Good food at a not very cheap price, which is normal in a tourist hotspot.

Steak was not cooked and tasteless, cabbage was smoked/burned. Dessert cake not fresh

The food is good, big portions. The staff (especially the manager) is rude and unkind. it is not acceptable to make a customer feel uncomfortable when they are a guest in your restaurant, but they are really good at it.

Servicio brillante con comida brillante. Recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar increíble para comer en el centro de la ciudad. El propietario era muy amable y la comida fue cocinada increíblemente!

Comida increíble, todo de origen local y hecho. Gran ambiente y ubicación en el casco antiguo - el personal muy acogedor y amable - hicieron un esfuerzo adicional!

Toller und immer sehr zuvorkommender Service. Keine Wartezeiten. Es gab sogar eine kleine Überraschung für ein "Geburtstagskind".

There was even a little surprise for a “birthday child”.

Great food, great service, great evening! Highly recommended!

El personal era cálido y amable. La comida era excelente. Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera, pero especialmente a los viajeros. El restaurante está situado en una zona histórica. Es hermoso.

The staff was warm and friendly. The food was fantastic. I recommend this restaurant to anyone, but especially tourists.

Hervorragendes Essen und sehr aufmerksamer Service, wir haben es rundum genossen und kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Frankfurt sind.

Excellent food and very attentive service, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nice views and big portions. Enjoyed our schnitzel

Staff without experience in customer management. Terrible for a restaurant that promotes itself as mid-range. High prices for a simple meal. The only thing notable about the place is the atmosphere. I don't recommend it.

Food is great! Highly recommended the pork knuckles !

Best lambs leaf with goats cheese salad I’ve ever had. Pumpkin soup was delicious. Both my husband and I had the veal schnitzel which was amazing. Jackie was the loveliest host and was friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

While on a business trip, I enjoyed dinner with colleagues. I went in without a reservation, but it was pretty crowded, so it's best to make a reservation. Schweimehaxe seems to be popular.

Clean tourist restaurant. Overpriced for what you get. Service good. Eating, well.

This is a great restaurant with delicious food, friendly staff, and a beautiful view.

Large portions, very friendly staff. Beautiful place. I recommend!

This restaurant is located on one side of Römerplatz. I used the outdoor seating, and it was a great place to eat while feeling the plaza. Hakse, schnitzel, fish dishes. I had salads etc and they all tasted quite great. In particular, the veal schnitzel has a memorable taste even compared to other places nearby. All my colleagues who ate with me also praised it. It would have been better if there were different types of sausages, but that was disappointing.

I don't recommend it, I don't like it, the store has a bad attitude, and the 4.3 rating is too high. Visited in September 2024 I wondered why this store was the only one with no customers when the other stores were busy, but I decided to enter the store because it had high reviews. The location was nice, so I looked up and said it was cash only, but when I said I wasn't feeling well, I was told it was OK to pay by card, but the menu was just text, so there were no photos? There is no such thing. I asked if they had any sausages, but they didn't sell them at my house. This exchange made me sigh about three times.The food is plentiful, but the attitude is bad, so it's not a very pleasant restaurant.

Food was good but a bit expensive.

I've known the restaurant for a long time. It's always a pleasure to come back there.

The red wine is a bit expensive, priced at almost 50 euros. The steak is called medium rare, but the local processing method is much more cooked. The appetizers and beers are just average, but the interior is quite exquisite. It can be seen that he is taking the high-end route. What you can see from the window is the old city. Eat together, elegantly and solemnly, The service staff are very enthusiastic. But the food is not to my taste

Simon and Ms Wu(From Taiwan), Simon is so handsome and friendly! Meal is really good! I really enjoyed the dinner Thank you

The perfect restaurant for corporate events or a nice 3 course menu dinner. Service high professional and friendly Food also excellent, take a look at my dessert...

Very arrogant service! I don't recommend it... If you are a tourist, avoid this place...

Great location. Good food. A little pricey.

The food was delicious, but people said it was artificial. The price is very expensive and the amount of food is just for one person.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at Schwarzer Stern! We did have a reservation and they acknowledged that right away and had our table ready for us. The food was exceptional. Several people had the grilled octopus appetizer and said it was delicious! All of our dinners came out piping hot and very tasty! The only downside I would say was that it was extremely hot ( outside and inside) and there were no fans to cool us down. We were there around 5:30pm, so maybe if we ate a little bit later, it would've been a little cooler. I would definitely recommend Schwarzer Stern for a delightful dining experience!

Just perfect.. 👏 This restaurant deserves an Oscar. Both starter and main were some of the best meals we’ve ever had. Congrats, you should be proud of yourselves!

We just loved this restaurant, and best of all- they made it all Gluten free!!! We had the Rib eye steak(41€), which was perfectly cooked, the Lamb backstrap(30€), beautifully tender, and the salad special which had chanterelles mushrooms, pear and walnuts. The fig dessert was the clear standout- slightly poached ripe fresh figs, chantilly cream, meringue and a champagne sorbet- just super yummy (12,80€). Who would of thought you could have a restaurant as good as this in the tourist part of town- do yourself a favour and gone here- staff were wonderful- made everything gluten free for me, and the building is stunning.

We had a great time here. Food was good and staff was very friendly.

The restaurant is entitled to only accept card payments when the minimum is met, however, it would be helpful if this is said before food is ordered. (The minimum is 50 euros) Go elsewhere! The food is not even that great. Update: the managers left a message on my review. When I went to the restaurant, there was nothing written on the menu. When I asked the servers about it, they said the notice was posted next to their computer/register station. A very small notice, I should add, that unless you knew what you were looking for you were going to miss it Anyway, good luck to all :)

Perfect, quality and hearty meal

Recommended restaurant in a top location. Very friendly and really good food.

The food is not as good as expected. The Pork knuckle is hard, and the friend pork is dry inside, not juicy. The price of beverage is more expensive than other restaurants. The service person seems very busy and not be reached very easily. By the way, they also requested for at least 10% service fee. With this price, we should have a better choice in Frankfurt.

Very nice central location, very friendly service, very tasty food! Thank you! We felt very comfortable. Despite the overall increased prices, very good price-performance ratio!

Can’t share how good of an experience our evening was. Had a lovely dinner with a beautiful background of the romer, and the staff were so kind and accommodating. My phone was dying and they even let me charge it for a bit 😂 highly recommend! The lamb was delicious

Ho pranzato in questo ristorante insieme ad un'amica. Pensavo fosse la solita trappola per turisti, in realtà non è male. I piatti sono buoni e presentati molto bene. Unica pecca, inaspettata, non prendono il bancomat sotto i 50€.

For me it was the best restaurant experience in years. A few days ago we accepted the invitation to this traditional inn for a wedding and were thrilled from the start. The wedding hall on the upper floor alone is impressive and worth a visit. High stucco ceilings surrounded by many brass candlesticks on the walls and a beautiful old cast iron fireplace. The wedding hall can be reached by stairs or, for people with disabilities, by an elevator. The service is first class. Sympathetic, attentive and above all memorable. The lady and the gentleman knew straight away which guest had ordered which food or drink. But only employees who can identify with the company or with the employer can do this. For the starter there was a truffled chive cream, which was excellently flavored and airy. The foccacia is lightly toasted. Baked into the dough were, among other things, fresh sage and carrots. The green asparagus still had a slight bite. The main course was beef fillet with a goat cheese crumble, a beetroot waffle and potato pancakes. Since I didn't specify any cooking level or the waiter didn't ask how I would like the fillet, I was served the fillet medium plus. Very tender, fried to perfection and wonderfully seasoned. All other components of this dish were also very well prepared. The three-course menu was rounded off with a woodruff cream dessert with marzipan. No further words necessary here either. Overall, I would like to thank you very much for this pleasant and culinary visit and stay and I am very pleased to have been able to experience your gastronomy. When I'm in Frankfurt, there's no question in my mind which inn I'll go to again.

I found the service very nice. I found the employees to be very attentive. I ordered a veal schnitzel and I thought it was very good. In Only the starter leaves something to be desired. I ordered pea soup. Unfortunately it was a bit cold. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant. A good German cuisine. Best regards

The location is very good. If you come here in the evening, you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also have a comfortable environment to eat. The service staff is very kind and welcoming, and very friendly to children. The food was pretty good and the overall atmosphere was great.

It overlooks the plaza where you can eat outside. You can enjoy the atmosphere of Germany. Also, the customer service is good and food and beer are served quickly. The price is reasonable and delicious. The indoor seats are also nice.

Good food, service, beer and location. However, the possibility to pay by card only above 50€ returns the experience by 20 years to the past.

Great and very friendly service, very tasty food in a nice atmosphere. We felt very comfortable, thank you very much!

Very good service from Jaggi, thank you very much. The food was very good

Food was quite good. A bit expensive for my taste, but that's due to the good location.

Decent restaurant - good comfort food in top location

German varieties that some may not like compared to other cuisines Its quality is good and the price is a little high

We sat outside and had delicious schnitzel, green sauce with eggs and a pea sandwich.

Lovely spot with German comfort food. Schnitzel and Frankfurter Green Sauce were really well done.

The foods is good🤗 The waiter is outgoing The surround is fresh 😍

The Benediktiner Weissbier tastes wonderful and well enjoyed in the outside terrasse. Foods also very nice. Relatively easy to take a seats comparing to other restaurants in Römerplatz, I do not know why. It was wonderful experience to me enjoying Traditional German foods and beers with breezing feels good in early Summer.

Overall a great meal, the staff were welcoming and kind, I had the Grilled octopus for my main which was five star, the pork shank was presented well but even for pork it was very tough so let it down slightly although still enjoyable.

There were 8 of us and we had a wonderful evening. Orders were ready promptly, drinks requests were always attentively asked, and all dishes were lovingly prepared and tasted excellent. Great recommendation, the location directly at the Römer is also great

Great bathrooms and a really good ATM downstairs

Less than normal.. What a person can do will go to him

Always a great place when in Frankfurt!

Although the view of the Römerberg Square from this German restaurant is very nice and the service is very good, no Germans seem to be part of the staff. My Wiener Schnitzel was somewhat overcooked and dry. Although Zabaione was clearly listed on the menu, when l asked the waiter about it he seemed puzzled and responded that they didn't serve it (?) There are likely more options for authentic local German cuisine in Sachsenhausen or at the north end of Bergerstrasse.

I like the service specially Simon!

The food was wonderful and Simon was tops!

The food and beer were of high quality, and the restaurant's location on the corner of Römerberg square offered a vibrant atmosphere and a lovely view of the square. We thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and look forward to visiting again.

Vegan dishes have disappeared from the menu. Although something was prepared, it wasn't really a filling portion. The statement “yes, I know, it doesn’t fill you up” was ultimately the crowning achievement.

Really delicious food- surprised in a touristy area but was pleasantly surprised. Also the service was wonderful . So friendly, came back to check to see how the meals were going (rare in Germany ), brought the kids food first, and overall just lovely

Excellent place to have some German traditional food and enjoy Römerplatz at the same time.

Were here in a large group. The food was excellent, the staff was funny and the view of the impressive town hall was wonderful.

We were there with a group of 16 people and it was very tasty and cozy. The restaurant is highly recommended! Best regards to the team

Amazing food , friendly staff and very welcoming Service is very good and fast The food is very delicious Definitely recommend Loved it Very nice view and location in the center

Say you can pay on card, when the bill arrives, you cannot. Brusque service.

In Germany the service is always included in the price, however this restaurant adds €6 for service to the bill without any notice. Do not go there it's a scam! EDIT: After this review they refunded me the €6. Stars were increased from 1 to 3 as the food was actually very good.

We had the veal schnitzel and pork shank and we enjoyed the food. Nice ambience.

Superb address in the historic center of Frankfurt! Located on the magnificent old town square, this establishment is ideally located and really beautiful. Very warm welcome, very pleasant and smiling, very efficient service, very professional and very beautiful, high quality menu, we really enjoyed ourselves. Have a nice evening.

. Rib eye steak was good (they did the grilling for me) . I guess schnitzel is a dish I don’t like. . Fish Risotto Sausage (Recommended by Mr. Jeong)

I always visit Schwarzer Stern when I am in Frankfurt. The service is friendly, the food is good German fare, and the locale and restaurant are a picturesque glimpse to traditional Germany

Nice location, good food, quite expensive. Friendly and prompt service.

Nice restaurant right on the Römer with very nice service. We had the chicken and the boiled beef, both were excellent. Will happily eat there again

Very good and freshly prepared food. Mid price.

I had dinner at this restaurant and overall I am satisfied. At first glance I was scared when I read about Italian dishes in the first pages, then as I browsed I found traditional German dishes. Slightly high prices but fast service and good food, ditto the beer. A special thanks to the waiter Taggy, attentive and ready to satisfy every request. PS: try the typical liqueurs, too bad they cost a little...

Dinner was fabulous with warm and friendly service. Food was particularly good, especially the vegetarian starters. Even the potatoes and gnocchis are outstanding. Restaurant was busy during our time of visit so it's quite impressing that all food arrived hot and all requests promptly attended to.

This restaurant was recommended by Westin hotel Frankfurt front desk. It indeed got a old fashion German food cooking if you want to understand the local cuisines... The service is good (English speaking is fine) and cost/performance us in the middle which worthwhile you a visiting...

We really enjoyed our early evening meal. Great quality. Quiet atmosphere.

The food quality was bad/small portions and high priced.

German Restaurant Located on the main plaza in Frankfurt near the fountain of Justice. looks and taste like a typical German restaurant with all the things you can usually find: sausage, Schnitzel... I had my last Schnitzel of my trip in Frankfurt. Was quite yummy but a little bit dry. The staff of the restaurant put too much pressure on us on ordering thing when we wanted to enjoy our drinks first. All-in-all the food is good and the location is great. I would give 3/4 stars for the staff but the restaurant itself deserves the 5 stars.

The meal was good but very expensive for what it is, the drinks the same. The big problem, the service! The waiter was very rude, we paid almost 100€ for 3 people. The latter insisted heavily on having a tip, so we said, put 1€ and finally told us that he could not do anything with 1€. It is unacceptable. In addition, street musicians came to beg several times during the meal and even placed their caps on our table during our meal. Find a better place, you'll have a better time.

Very tasty old German cuisine. The schnitzel is so big that you can hardly manage it alone. The restaurant is also very dog-friendly. The meat is high quality.

Good food, great desserts, very nice and friendly service.

Excellent service by Franko, first time to Frankfurt and he was kind and accommodating. Really appreciate the kindness and also food recommendations. The asparagus soup was stellar!!

Very good Vietnamese service, fast, friendly and personable.

I went to this place based on the positive reviews even though it was empty. Certainly very high prices and not matched by the quality of the food. Very slow service, we had to ask the waiter several times, even though the place was empty. The bad surprise, however, was on the bill, where a €15 tip was added without my knowledge. Very incorrect behavior, I strongly advise against this place.

First time to SS, definitely won't be my last. Probably going to be my annual stopover point. Excellent service (even though they asked me to do this review) I would have done it even if I wasn't prompted to. Great food great hospitality. Edit: back to the same place. Service and food was excellent as always.

Hervorragendes Essen. Zuvorkommende Bedienung. Sehr schöner Aussenbereich mit tollem Blick auf den Römer. Gerne wieder 😉

Cozy and delicious European dishes!

Excellent combination for a successful evening. Tasty food, attentive service and a rustic atmosphere.
