WHERE TO EAT

BREEZE BY LEBUA This pan-Asian restaurant arrived in Frankfurt last year, courtesy of the Bangkokbased Lebua hotel. A dimly lit stairwell leads down to a series of darkened chambers, where sultry lighting, golden booths and Asian ornaments set the tone for the meal to follow. Highlights on the menu include signature roast duck, hakka noodles and wasabi prawns. These can be accompanied by a Passion Fruit Volcano cocktail, which is served fizzing with dry ice in a beaker.

Open Tues-Sun 12pm-2.30pm, 6pm-10.30pm. Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof; tel +49 699 288 6656; breezebylebua.com

MAX ON ONE JUMEIRAH The Jumeirah Frankfurt’s Max On One is a stylish grill restaurant ideal for business lunches and dinners. Stacks of white crockery and a wallto-wall bookcase give the sense of a comfortable, livedin space. Dishes include the surf’n’turf of beef tenderloin with wild prawns, and prime-boiled veal with creamed spinach and rosti. Request a table to the left of reception to see your food being prepared in the open kitchen.

Open Mon-Fri 12pm-2.30pm, Mon-Sat 7pm-10.30pm. Thurn-und-Taxis- Platz 2; tel +49 697 1712 1200; jumeirah.com
