Catering Der Löwe

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.

We went for dinner with family. As the weather is nice, we choose the table outside. Waiter came right away and gave us good service. The card is not complicated, it's standard German food like schnitzel and asparagus was recommendation as the season is coming. We had schnitzel with asparagus, rib eye steak also with asparagus and salad with octopus ordered as main course. Overall food was further from I expected. We paid 80 Euro bill and left not satisfied at all. It was way too expensive for such food. Salad was small, steak was so so, not sure whether it was rib eye, asparagus was not the best one i tasted this far. It was not high class standard and also not a low key restaurant. So most like in between that they can't decide which way they should run the place. It was nice experience but I will not recommend the place to anyone. There are better German restaurant in Höchst Schloss area.
