About the restaurant

Zum Bitburger, with its newly renovated venue, welcomes you with its beautiful green and gold accented door. Additionally, it serves perfectly cold beer on tap, at a refreshing 5.8°C. There's no better way to end the work week than to take a moment to enjoy this icy cold beverage. Additionally, if you're in need of hosting an event, Zum Bitburger can help you by serving up to 60 people, so don't stress out doing it yourself. When visiting Zum Bitburger, the Frankfurter schnitzel with green sauce and fried potatoes comes highly recommended and is a must-try.

About the restaurant

Simple but good food. Locally sourced, beautifully presented and not too much “Schnick-Snack” as the Germans say. A large selection of prestigious vineyards that we want to share with our guests. We want to elevate our guests’ “joie de vivre”, let them explore the possibilites of wine pairing on their own and enjoy the guilty pleasures of comfort food along the way.

That’s what estela is all about. That is how our never ending love for food & wine gave birth to gastrothéque.

If you are looking for a fancy presentation or over-staged dinner, this isn't your place. But if you want an authentic atmosphere and home cooking, this is it. It is not geared for tourists or would-be connoisseurs, this is a German restaurant where Germans enjoy food and company and community. Fun and funny.

About the restaurant

Located in the immediate vicinity of Frankfurt's historic Goethe House, we see the DFG as a modern homage to one of the greatest minds in the history of our country. Fine dining with a down-to-earth urban character. Hand-picked wines and drinks. Pulsating and dynamic atmosphere with cool music and good vibes. This is what defines the DFG and us.
