I will be going to Frankfurt next month and would like some recommendations on good places to eat. Namely any good steak, sushi, and chinese food. Thanks

Surprisingly enough, the Japanese restaurant in the Frankfurt Marriott ("Tokyo" is quite good. Expensive (but not outrageously so).

Try the local cuisine. German food here in the states is a pathetic shadow of the delicious food served in Germany.

Also fyi,

"GERMANS AND THE D�NERKEBAB: A TALE OF OBSESSION
Lederhosen, Goethe and the Brandenburg Gate are all as quintessentially German, a newly published book suggests, as the D�nerkebab. The D�ner, a relative of the Greek gyro, is a pocket of Turkish bread filled with spicy grilled meat, salad and a yogurt sauce. Turkish �guest workers� introduced Germany to the D�ner, and since the early 1970s it has progressed from an exotic ethnic specialty to a fast food staple. Today, the weekly Der Spiegel reports, Germans consume some 720 million D�nerkebabs annually, which translates to over two pounds' worth for every resident of the country. The DM 3.6 billion (U.S. $2.3 billion) Germans spend on D�ners each year outstrips the revenues of all fast food chains in the country combined and represents a considerable source of income for a segment of the Turkish population in Germany."

edited to add: FT'er LH738 put forth this suggestion on a Frankfurt restaurant: http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...ight=frankfurt

I take it you do not want authentic German food?

The Japanese restaurant attached to the ArabellaSheraton Grand is very, very good (and quite expensive).

OK here goes my list of favourites:

The best Sushi restaurant is called IWASE (+49 69 283992)

The best Steak is M Steakhouse (+49 69 71034050) www.the-steakhouse.de

If you can read German, go here:

LEt me know if you need more info.

Instead of the M Steakhouse, you could also try the Surf & Turf (same internet address).
Not quite so exclusive is the Sky Lounge (www.skylounge.info).

The Japanese restaurant at the Frankfurter Hof, Ihora, is supposedly very good but also very expensive. www.iroha-frankfurt.de

Try the Mayflower (www.mayflower-chinarestaurant.de) for Chinese.

No, it's not that. At this point I will take anything, as I have been in Iraq for over 9 months It's just that the ones I listed are the ones that I missed the most.

I loved the gyros when I went to Greece, are the ones in Germany similar? BTW, thanks for all the sugesstions. I will report back on my trip

There are 3 nice restaurants in the "Alte Oper" area:

-Erno's Bistro
-Gallo Nero
-(Die) Leiter

Maredos is a great place.

The German D�ner Kebap is similar to the greek gyro except that the meat is usually served with focaccia bread, a ranch-like sauce, Turkish pepper, slices of onion, fresh lettuce, and tomato. There are variations including the addition of cabbage or red cabbage, yogurt dressing, goat cheese and more.

Great ones can be had at this place across from the BachenheimWarte in Frankfurt.

^ excactly !
The "Surf and Turf" would be another good choice.
If you like something individual, try the "Holbein's". This mondaine Restaurant is integrated into the Staedel Museum. Good value.

Enjoy your stay,
