Mon Amie Maxi

Frankfurt am Main


In a gorgeous belle époque space with bare boards, butter-coloured walls and an elevated front terrace, this grande dame specialises in seafood, including oysters (per half-dozen from €20) and sumptuous platters: Les Misérables (€35); Le Royal with a half-lobster (€90), and Le Maxi with a whole lobster (€150); and the monumental Le Mook with Alaskan king crab (€300).

French classics include escargot, foie gras, sole meunière, bouillabaisse and steak tartare.
