"Could not have asked for better. This is a highly recommended little place. I phoned to make bookings at a few TripAdvisor recommended spots for Frankfurt and as it was very busy at this time, reservations were scarce and phone calls were brusquely answered/declined at...some of the so-called top then establishments. I Edelweiss phoned on a Tuesday asking for a booking for either than night or the following. In perfect English, to my relief, after much consultation they said they could not take us the next day, but had a gap that night, but only at their upstairs seating around bar-height tables. Needless to say I grabbed this and intended to march our merry crew into Sahenhausen that night. We were delayed by late business appointments and fearing the loss of our table we phoned to inform them that we'd be a little late. This was no problem and on arrival we were delighted to see they'd made a special effort to seat us downstairs in the heart of their charming little pub/restaurant and were very chilled about our late arrival. Being more than peckish we piled into their wonderfully appetising menu; selections being the Schnitzel (naturally) the veal, the wild boar goulash stew, Austrain version of chicken? Sausages and one or two others. We had eight clean plates and many thumbs up's on a superb delivery of nicely assisted choices. With full bellies no one was slightly interested in desert. However on listening to the description we reluctantly decided to share a few plates of their famous pancake/cherry desert. Believe me the reluctance to have a desert vanished at the first shared spoonful. This is indeed a house specialty as we've never had anything close anywhere else in our two weeks in Frankfurt. Our server was such a pleasant young man. On serving us in the beginning he looked as surprisied we were when we could not understand a word of German. Ja, Englisch he asked and from then on conversed in the most excellent English with superb recommendations for which we were most grateful. Do visit here. Its easy from the Frankfurt South S Bahn station. Simply go up the road, turn right and walk a few paces til you reach edelweiss. Oh, and importantly for business travelers, they accept most credit cards."

"I found "The Lion" through the journal "Frankfurt geht aus" the (annual) local print special with restaurant rankings.I have just been there the second time and the experience is the same.The restaurant is not too big at the first glance but has an additional room upstairs and is at weekends often booked. In these cases it takes long until you get your food. It is visible that the Lion was a german village restaurant years ago but the furniture is modern to mediterrenean which is a great mix.The menue is - for my taste - not that interesting but they have a changing additional menue with seasonal and/or special meals which are very recommendable.The first time we were there I had goat variations and my wife a marinated pork (style sour marinated beef) which was excellent.This time I had an "Osso Bucco", slices from the leg (veal), with noodles and veggies at 18,50 which was very good and my wife went for the asparagus menue at 32,50 starting with a coctail of the day (prosecco with self made strawberry sorbet) followed by a mousse of green and white asparagus with smoked salmon which was nice but nothing super special. The main was a chop of duroc porc (very good) and the best asparagus I had so far this year. The dessert was a cream with fresh strawberrys, nice as well.The beer is a good brand and the selection of wines is good as well.It is not the cheapest place to go but what you get for your money is good."
