A rustic, elegant atmosphere greets visitors to the Weidemann, situated in Kelsterbacher Street, Frankfurt. The kitchen has recently changed direction and now serves Mediterranean food to its guests utilizing the best of the local produce.

On the bill of fare, expect to find Tunisian orange chicken with cous cous, a succulent preparation of grilled butterflied leg of lamb marinated with herbs and red wine and for the vegetarians, spinach and penne pasta frittata with ricotta, basil, thyme and proscuitto. For those who need another reason to try cuisine from the region, it has been found that this style of cooking - lots of dense, whole grain peasant bread and pasta, seasonal vegetables and some cheese and fruit, all spiked with olive oil and washed down with red wine - can indeed substantially lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Wines from across the globe are recommended to pair with your meal.
