I had dinner at the restaurant Gustav after enjoying Loriot exhibition celebrating his 100th birthday at the Caricatura Museum in Frankfurt. The Gustav is a Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in modern cuisine, focusing on seasonal and local ingredients. The chef, Jochim Busch, creates innovative, elegant, and delicious dishes. The restaurant offers a tasting menu with seasonal dishes paired with exquisite wine from their extensive cellar.
Gustav is located in a historic building in the heart of the city, with a cozy and stylish interior that reflects the quality and sophistication of the food. The attentive, friendly, and professional service makes you feel welcome and pampered.
Impression from the Restaurant
The Bauhaus-inspired interior creates a very comfortable setting where one can focus on the food experience.
The Menu - Gustav in Autumn
“Onion cake”, truffles and mountain cheese
2019 Pinot Rosé brut, Kaufmann, Rheingau
The onion cake has a perfect crust and is filled with yummy cheese cream and topped with truffles. A perfect start to the evening with an umami taste. It may celebrate and converge everything that is coming into one dish. Simply awesome!
Young beets cooked in the fire, sheep's yoghurt and pickled cucumber
The beet cannelloni are filled with yogurt, whereas the beets bring a fresh taste, and the yogurt serves as a creamy combination: the pickled cucumber, dill, and crunch round everything to a harmonized starter.
