The story
In the heart of Frankfurt am Main, Sommerfeld presents a holistic dining concept that weaves together menu, wine, space, and art. The team describes their approach as "the essence of our experience, from our previous projects, journeys, and encounters." The result is a place of inspiration, a house that feels like it stands at the beginning of a new era. This distinctive vision, paired with high-quality cooking, earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2026.
The kitchen crafts a single, evolving tasting menu, priced at 159 euros per person, that reflects a curious and seasonal perspective. Summer dishes might begin with marinated turnip paired with yogurt, Piedmont hazelnut, and dill, or confit celeriac with a bread velouté, black apple, and lovage oil. The menu progresses through precise, ingredient-driven courses: rainbow trout from the Eifel region with celery broth and dill blossom, grilled leeks with mushroom broth and Comté, and pike-perch cooked over charcoal with beetroot broth, tarragon, and walnuts. The meal concludes with a dessert of caramelized quince, honey ice cream, spruce tips, and white chocolate, followed by a lemon beignet with sour cream.
Sommerfeld’s international cuisine is matched by a carefully curated wine list, a detail that has not gone unnoticed. The restaurant’s wine program is a key part of the experience, and the team is currently seeking a commis sommelier to take over the department, signaling a deep commitment to the pairing. The atmosphere is one of relaxed curiosity, where guests are invited to dress "smart casual" and enjoy a carefree stroll through the evening’s flavors.
