Over 1.3 million copies sold, 6706 reviews written on 5300 pages, for which 16094400 calories were consumed by the testers in around 13412 hours - these are figures that stand for the success story of "Frankfurt geht aus", the great restaurant guide from the Journal Frankfurt. A success story that is now already entering its 27th year. For more than a quarter of a century, many readers have trusted the opinion of the testers of the restaurant guide and just as long restaurants are particularly proud when they have achieved 1st place in one of the categories in the magazine.
Also with the 2016 edition in the usual manner. As usual, the best restaurants are featured in the form of top 5 rankings in various sections. In addition to different country cuisines from Italy to Japan, Greece, Vietnam, Africa, Austria to the USA or India, Frankfurt's favorites, the best new openings, the most popular cider pubs or the winners in the area of "Gutbürgerlich" are also chosen. Ice cream cafés, trendy bars, food trucks and pizzerias will also be judged. After a brief look at the city's culinary underbelly in the Flop 5, the more detailed reviews of the venues then follow in alphabetical order, with admittedly a bit more space given to the winners of each category.
The reviews are engagingly written and generally very close to the truth. Of course, some aspects are literally a matter of taste. Where one journal tester might go into raptures, others taste nothing special. On the other hand, many a visitor finds something tasty or charming that mercilessly fails the Journal testers. Nevertheless, it can be positively noted overall that where it is appropriate to praise, justified criticism is not spared, even among the favorites. This prevents the reader from visiting one of the featured restaurants with a false expectation. If the food is good, but the service is rather modest, if the price-performance ratio is not right or the ambience leaves something to be desired, then this is mentioned in the reviews just as much as the reasons why a location made it into the Top 5 in its category.
Positively, it is also noticeable that locations that landed in the Flop 5 in the past are given a second chance. For indeed, there has been a marked improvement in some of the disappointments of yore. And there it is only fair to mention such a thing praisingly, so that also the efforts of the operators are rewarded with possibly occurring visitor increase.
On 266 pages "Frankfurt goes out" proves also in the 27th year again, why the restaurant guide is so popular with the Frankfurt people and why many rely on the reviews in this booklet. With many nice tips, a selection of worthwhile event locations, the favorite restaurants of Frankfurt celebrities or a look behind the scenes of the Genussakademie, "Frankfurt geht aus 2016" has once again become an entertaining and helpful booklet, which you can now purchase in well-stocked book and magazine stores or at <link http: www.journal-frankfurt.de service_shop_sonderhefte_einzel _blank>Http://www.journal-frankfurt.de//service_shop_sonderhefte_einzel/3.
