Lohninger
Frankfurt am Main, Germany; Schweizer Straße 1, 60594 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Lohninger brings an Austrian point of reference to Frankfurt without confining itself to a traditional national menu. In Sachsenhausen, close to the Main, the restaurant pairs high ceilings and decorative architectural details with a contemporary dining atmosphere. The room has the substance of an established address, while the kitchen remains open to ideas gathered elsewhere. Mario Lohninger’s cooking moves between familiar Austrian dishes and Mediterranean or Asian influences. Michelin’s examples range from cheese-filled Schlutzkrapfen and ox-cheek goulash to kingfish sashimi, showing the breadth without suggesting that every dish needs to combine those traditions. The restaurant’s menu structure has distinguished between home and world, a useful way of understanding its perspective: culinary memory and curiosity can share the same table. A Michelin star in the 2026 German selection marks a new stage in its recognition. Lohninger earns its place here through the confidence of that combination, offering visitors something more personal than a generic international menu. It is especially appealing to diners who enjoy the reassurance of recognisable flavours alongside the possibility of a more adventurous course.
