Medici
Frankfurt am Main, Germany; Weißadlergasse 2, 60311 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Medici is an especially useful address for travellers who want good cooking without making every meal a major event. On Weißadlergasse, between Frankfurt’s shopping streets and historic centre, the restaurant moves through several rhythms: business lunch, a smaller afternoon offer and a more elaborate evening service. Brothers Christos and Stamatios Simiakos opened the restaurant in 2004. Their current approach is modern European, with Mediterranean foundations and wider international influences. Lunch offers a compact route into the kitchen, while afternoon choices can be as straightforward as flammkuchen or cured ham with a glass of wine. The cellar is a substantial part of the appeal, listing more than seven hundred wines and paying particular attention to Burgundy and leading German producers. The dining spaces are contemporary and suited to conversation. Michelin includes Medici in its restaurant selection. It earns a place here for versatility as well as ambition: visitors can choose the level of commitment that fits their day without losing the restaurant’s identity. The regular schedule is weekdays, with occasional special weekend events, so check availability before planning a Saturday or Sunday visit.
