Restaurant GUSTAV

Read the reviews: every comment about unfriendliness of the owners is a reflection of the truth. They’re great until you disagree, in which case they will show face and male sure you understand that they make the rules.

Would have easily been 4-5 stars until the boss lady and her husband ruined the night. They lack the ability to appreciate feedback and respond with an attitude that is a shame for the entire Michelin community. I’m sad for their staff who did an amazing job.
Also the boss lady was acting as sommeliere which she did in a rather uninspired way. She explained why a wine was chosen barely going beyond “it matches the food” but didn’t explain anything about the wine itself.

Whenever she gave us a little refill (which generally is nice) she emphasized how it could only be a tiny zip as it’s already a refill…
The behavior and the performance of the somm do not reflect the 5 stars. The price does. Unfortunately underwhelmed. Won’t be back :(

Well deserved 2 stars, nothing else to add. If you are in Frankfurt, do not miss the opportunity to visit Gustav amd enjoy the delicacies. A once in a lifetime experience!

Great food and friendly service. Decor is quirky and beautiful. Only drawback was they had no menu printed in English and staff were not fully able to translate. Overall a fantastic dining experience and watching the cooks in the open kitchen added to the ambiance of a fantastic dining experience!

This meal will be 3 hours. And unnecessarily so. We thought Google was joking when it said that the average time spent was 3 hours, but Google wasn't joking. The food was as expected for a Michelin star restaurant but the time between courses was filled with bread and twiddling thumbs. It's worth a try but I don't know if it was worth the money per hour.

The dishes resemble an attempt of reinventing the local cuisine and I think that they did manage to slightly elevate the Frankfurt "green sauce" but that's where it stops for me. Nothing new or creative. Unfortunately it felt like a pretentious version of local pub food with green sauce in every single dish.

Edit: Added the unprofessional response of the owner.

Food is great, amazing even. But the price you pay for a 3 course menu is not justified. The ingredients where not that special and the plates were plated in a basic manner. After paying for the menu (90) and 10 euro wine pairing with each course, you'll also have to pay 8.50 for the water... It's a shame, the open kitchen is a nice addition and the staff is working hard. But with my experience it was not worth the high price.

Amazing food and service! Dishes were unique and interesting, but yet super tasty. Will return!
