YALDY doubles as Frankfurt's most relaxed natural wine room, a Bib Gourmand kitchen on Moselstraße pouring low-intervention bottles till late.
Wine focus: Natural wines chosen by co-owner Andrei Lipan
Food: Bib Gourmand seasonal shared plates
Tip: Ask for something cloudy and cold to start; the kitchen's small plates are built for working through the list.
Heimat on Berliner Straße pairs Gregor Nowak's small day-fresh card with a European wine list run by two sommeliers, in a pavilion that once pumped petrol.
Wine focus: European concentration, chosen by sommeliers Oliver Donnecker and Kathrin Richter
Food: New German cooking from a deliberately small, day-fresh card
Tip: Reserve by phone; the wine card is built to surprise, so let the sommeliers pick the glasses around whatever the board is cooking.
Blumen, nebenan. spans Rotlintstraße 58-60 in the Nordend, bistro successor to 15 years of Blumen, sharing plates over the same natural wine cellar.
Wine focus: Natural growers from Germany, Austria and France
Food: Bistro plates to share from the Blumen kitchen
Tip: Open Tuesday to Saturday from 18:00; reserve by phone or the website widget, then let the counter choose the wine.
chairs pairs regional organic cooking with natural wine on a quiet Bornheim corner of Frankfurt, a neighbourhood room that takes both seriously.
Wine focus: Local and European natural wines with organic cooking
Food: Seasonal plates from regional organic producers
Tip: Sunday evening service is the rarity here; the short menu changes with the producers, so ask what arrived this week.
Emma Metzler's list reads like a regional natural wine map of Germany, poured with museum-bistro cooking on Frankfurt's Schaumainkai museum bank.
Wine focus: Natural wines from nearby regions and wider Europe
Food: Anton de Bruyn's regional neo-bistro plates
Tip: The by-the-glass list changes with the kitchen's producers; in fair weather, drink it out on the Metzler Park terrace.
Weingut Rollanderhof pours its Rheinhessen estate wines on the Kleinmarkthalle gallery terrace, Frankfurt's daylight wine ritual over Liebfrauenberg.

Tip: No reservations, ever; buy Handkäs or sausage from the hall downstairs and carry it up to the terrace with your Schoppen.
