As a tourist from America it was lovely to walk down on Bergen Street in Frankfurt. We wanted something to eat that offered healthy options. The menu looked so delicious we didn't exactly stay healthy but we were glad to know everything we ate was organic. In Germany organic is "bio". The restaurant had an English menu so that we could order directly but the specials were only in German, we were with family that spoke German so they could explain to us exactly what we were ordering. We ordered asparagus risotto, a cheeseburger, a club sandwich on a baguette, and white asparagus with potatoes and ham a typical German menu item. Two had fresh squeezed orange juice, this was a treat because in Germany most orange juice is not fresh. One order a soda that was made from a rhubarb very interesting not to my liking but the person who ordered it was a local and she loved it. The last person in our party ordered a beer and of course she liked that. We enjoyed our food very much and the waitress was very helpful and patient as we learned a bit of German as we ordered. Many people came in and out of the restaurant in just to taste their vegan cakes and coffee. Inside the restaurant itself is very cute and outside they have a covered patio on one side and umbrellas covering benches on the other which is typical for that street where most restaurants have an outside area. Bottom line...great fresh food and service! We...
Read moreAwesome Service! Tasty Food! Great Location!
Service: Our service was perfect. We were unsure what to order and how much and his response was: „I’d recommend platter and I will tell you if you’re ordering too much, we don’t want to waste food here“
How great is that?! And he literally knew our limits! Funny, helpful and thoughtful!
Food: I could have chosen The Vegan Burger, A Soup, the avocado sandwich or a few other vegan options but decided to go with our waiters recommendations: We (three people) took the vegan Platter with tapas and for my main meal the vegan aubergine casserole (mildly spicy and delicious). Finished off with the delicious vegan chocolate mousse!
Atmosphere & interior design:
It is all in all a lovely place to go to and spend your time. The moment I walked in the door I noticed the difference; usually you have to look for the waiter and ask about your reservation; at ginkgos you walk in and there are plates on the tables with the persons names that reserved. Therefor you can immediately find your spot and it gives a personal touch! Musik was relaxing and the restaurant very spacious!

Read moreThis place is horrible!!First of all we were waiting 1:30 hours to be served, while giving priority to other tables.. We had a very nice,but disgusting surprise.... Since we are close to the Zoo, I think that several mice had escaped and went outside of the restaurant' kitchen... I have to confess that I have never seen such a friendly mouse in my life and at such a close distance...even with my food!!!! Apart from this, the stuff was very rude-in fact it is the first time in my life that I feel that I had to write a review publicly. Other people that were sitting next to our table just left from the restaurant... I definitely RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GO AT THIS RESTAURANT unless you want to get...
