Must order: A three-pour apfelwein flight chosen by the host, with Handkäs
Tip: Hessen a la carte member kitchen, so the food outclasses the average tavern; the barrel cellar tour is worth asking about.
Address: Große Rittergasse 49, 60594 Frankfurt am Main
Zur Buchscheer is the Frankfurt tavern purists name first: apfelwein pressed on the premises since 1876, out in quiet leafy Sachsenhausen-Süd.
Order: The estate pressing by the Schoppen, with Grüne Soße and eggs
Tip: Weekends open at noon and fill with families; weekday evenings are when the regulars hold court under the trees.
Zum Gemalten Haus keeps the painted-parlour version of Frankfurt tavern culture alive on Schweizer Strasse, with Bembel service running since 1936.
Order: The prize-recipe Grüne Soße the house is locally known for
Tip: Closed Monday and Tuesday, unlike its neighbours; the front Stube under the murals beats the back room for atmosphere.
Dauth-Schneider feeds the Klappergasse corner of Frankfurt's tavern quarter from 11:30 daily, a Bembel house pouring on this corner since 1850.
Order: The Frankfurter Platte of sausages and Rippchen for the table
Tip: Its long daily hours make it the fallback when smaller taverns close; the terrace under the trees seats big groups easily.

Apfelwein Solzer is Bornheim's fifth-generation cider house in Frankfurt, self-pressing since 1893 with a 300-seat garden off Berger Straße.
Order: The house pressing straight from the cellar, with schnitzel
Tip: Ask to sit in the Kelterhaus, the old pressing room; Saturday from 14:00 is the gentlest slot before the evening rush.

Ramen Jun built Frankfurt's ramen standard from a small Westend dining room near the Messe, broth simmered in-house daily and queues to match.
Order: Tonkotsu with ajitama; add the gyoza while you wait
Tip: Solo counter seats turn over fastest at peak; the Altstadt sibling Ramen Jun Red on Fahrgasse runs later evenings.
Moriki holds the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank towers in Frankfurt with sushi, gyoza and pan-Asian mains served across seven days a week.
Order: The nigiri selection with a yuzu lemonade at the park-facing terrace
Tip: Weekends are far easier than banking-week lunch; delivery boxes travel well if the towers are your office.
