Lafleur
Frankfurt on the Main, Germany




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Andreas Krolik has been synonymous with fantastic vegan cuisine for years. Here in the Palmenhaus, adjacent to the Palmengarten, the chef creatively combines top-notch ingredients by virtue of extremely precise craftsmanship. His style is modern, yet rooted in classic culinary tradition. For example, the happy marriage of John Dory and Norwegian scallops, with a nutty macadamia crunch, sweet and sour pointed cabbage, firm pumpkin and the exotic touch of a curry-lemongrass sauce, is delicious. In the evening, two set menus are served: Grands Produits with meat and fish, and Ethical Vegan Cuisine a testament to the chef's passion for plant-based cuisine. At lunchtime, there are two appealing set menus, dubbed Casual and Casual Green, each with three or four courses. Service comes courtesy of a very friendly and well-trained front-of-house team led by restaurant manager Boris Häbel, and the decor is stylish and modern. The wine pairings for the set menus are first-rate. Incidentally, the restaurant's name is a nod to the famous Château Lafleur vineyard near Bordeaux.
