Located close to Munich Central Station, there’s a place where the air hums with fragrant chili oil and fluent Mandarin—and not just from the Chinese diners. That’s Sichuan Küche Nudelbar (川味王小面馆), a pocket of uncompromising authenticity. The first clue we found this place special is the sight of Europeans confidently ordering in Chinese, showing just how

Located close to the bustling Frankfurt MyZeil is the “new-old” name causing delicious, German-winter-long queues. Shanghai Nudelbar 上海屋 might be the new sign above the door, but inside you may recognize the nostalgic flavors. Yes – it’s run by the very same owner and chef from Feinschmecker 好味道.

It shows two dramatically different, yet equally stunning faces of Shangri-La‘s wild nature. We were lucky to find a great driver, Mr. He (和师傅), who offered us

Rangoon is so genuinely wonderful that discovering it makes us want to shout it from the rooftops! Hidden on a quiet street in a residential area, this new Burmese restaurant is achingly authentic.

When some of my friends first got to Frankfurt, beyond the skyscrapers and the Römer, their settling-in agenda often included a common, delicious priority: the urgent hunt for an authentic spot of malatang. For anyone not familiar with malatang, imagine the communal, customizable Chinese hot pot, but without the pressure of timing your own cooking

Today’s recommendation is the kind that told by a friend with a knowing glint in her eyes, followed by, “This is the real deal. You just have to trust me.” And that’s how we found Kyo, an unassuming spot that has nothing to do with sleek, modern Vietnamese fusion. Instead, it has more of a
