Must order: Ceviche and a pisco sour at the bar before moving to the dining room
Tip: Lunch runs daily, unusual for this polish; the bar opens at 10:00 and takes walk-ins when the dining room is booked.
Address: Thurn-und-Taxis-Platz 2, 60313 Frankfurt am Main
Apfelwein Wagner has poured its own Ebbelwoi on Frankfurt's Schweizer Strasse since 1931, with Schnitzel under Grüne Soße at long shared tables.
Signature: Frankfurter Schnitzel, Handkäs mit Musik, Rippchen mit Kraut
Order: Frankfurter Schnitzel with Grüne Soße and fried potatoes, €21.20
Tip: Handkäs mit Musik runs €5.10 and one Bembel feeds a table; expect to share benches with strangers on weekends.
Zum Gemalten Haus pours apfelwein in Geripptes under painted murals on Schweizer Strasse in Frankfurt, a Sachsenhausen tavern running since 1936.
Signature: Rippchen mit Kraut, Grüne Soße
Order: Rippchen with sauerkraut and the house Grüne Soße
Tip: Two doors from Wagner, so compare Bembel pours in one evening; the murals inside date to the founding family.
Fichtekränzi has poured apfelwein under a braided spruce wreath on Frankfurt's Wallstraße since 1849, one of Sachsenhausen's oldest tavern rooms.
Signature: Handkäs mit Musik
Order: Handkäs mit Musik with farmhouse bread, then whatever the slate board says
Tip: Cash or EC card only, no credit cards; the courtyard garden is first-come, so arrive before 18:30 in summer.
Atschel on Wallstraße is Frankfurt's neighbourly apfelwein room, reopened in autumn 2023 with 120 seats inside and a hundred more in the garden.
Signature: Grüne Soße, Frankfurter Schnitzel
Order: Schnitzel with Grüne Soße, the Sachsenhausen standard
Tip: It sits next door to Fichtekränzi, so treat Wallstraße as a two-stop tavern crawl; no sports screens, by house policy.
Zum Eichkatzerl on Dreieichstraße feeds Frankfurt oversized schnitzel and apfelwein in a garden courtyard away from Sachsenhausen's tourist lanes.
Signature: Frankfurter Schnitzel
Order: The plate-covering schnitzel; portions here are a local running joke
Tip: Evenings only and closed Sunday; locals book the courtyard for birthdays, so reserve ahead for groups of six or more.
Dauth-Schneider anchors the Klappergasse corner of Frankfurt's Brückenviertel, an all-day apfelwein tavern pouring from stoneware Bembel since 1850.
Signature: Handkäs mit Musik, Rippchen mit Kraut
Order: Rippchen mit Kraut with a fresh-tapped Schoppen of apfelwein
Tip: One of the few taverns serving from 11:30 daily, so it is the lunch move; the tree-shaded terrace fills first.
