No matter the time or the occasion - Jaffa Market is always my go-to spot in Frankfurt. It's a cosy place for breakfast with friends, but also an ideal spot for a serious lunch date with work colleagues. However, my favourite time to swing by is the evening: I love to grab a glass of wine, catch the last rays of sunshine on the terrace and snack some falafel & hummus to digest a busy day by myself.
The breakfast offers some Israeli but also french selection while their main menu consists of solely fabulous Israeli food, offering many options, also for vegetarian foodies. They also offer three different Israeli beer brands to round up your meal.
Jaffa Market is located in the lesser touristy area Westend, but during the evening it can get quite crowded, since it offers only limited spots on its terrace. So if you plan to swing by, make sure to call ahead.
