Restaurant Villa Merton serves Michelin-starred classic cooking in a diplomats' villa near Frankfurt's Grüneburgpark, with a €289 chef's table.

Order: The seven-course gourmet menu; a vegetarian version runs in parallel

Tip: The bistro menu of German classics shares the villa at a fraction of the gourmet price; the garden terrace is summer's best seat.

Bockenheim's Thursday market at the Warte tower mixes Hessian growers with international stalls, serving Frankfurt's student quarter all day.

Tip: Pair the market with the Wednesday-to-Saturday campus life around the Warte; stalls thin out fast after 17:00.
