On our son’s big day (graduating from Frankfurt International School), we chose the restaurant Ratskeller in Oberursel to have our ceremonial dinner there with friends and family.

We had made early reservations for 6:00 and seven people. My brother and husband chose the Ochsenbäckchen (ox cheeks/ox jowls), which were excellent. So was our Argentine beef steak, served with potato gratin and sauteed vegetables. The portions look rather small at first glance, but they are filling.

I had even withheld a bit on the bread basked (fresh and delicious) which came with a garlic dip. I could have had a couple more slices…

The service was excellent and we felt like we were regulars. Well, our friends are regulars there, so their presence made for a casual atmosphere.

The interior is rustic, but quaint. Watch for the small steps throughout the restaurant though!

The prices range from fair to high, but you get what you pay for. The food quality is superb (fresh vegetables, good choice of meat, etc). But with four people in our family, I would not be able to take them there on a regular basis, only for special occasions.

By the time we left two hours later, the garden tables were all occupied.

This restaurant is very recommendable!
