Mainkai Café•Bistro

I enjoyed my meal here. the staff were kind and courteous of me with my limited German speaking. The food was fresh and delicious. the view of the river was beautiful. No complaints!

We came here two years ago and had to come back while visiting Frankfurt. We got the Turkish meatballs, mozzarella salad, and schnitzel with green sauce. The food was fresh and satisfying, but not quite as good as we remember it. We love fresh salad, so this is a great place, as both entrees came with a side salad. It offers a great view of the river if you sit outside. Our server Victoria was kind.

Situated along the Main River of Frankfurt right near the popular tourist attractions, Mainki café provides guests with picturesque views of the water and the iconic skyline. The interior exudes a cozy charm, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Outdoor seating was available, though is limited with tables reserved for guests during peak times. Prices at Mainkai Café are on the higher side, which can be attributed to its prime location and the quality of service provided. The café offers a diverse menu, including breakfast items, light lunches, and a variety of beverages. On a recent visit, we tried the latte, tea, and a warm apple strudel. While all were enjoyable, they were not exceptional. Service on the other hand was exceptional and attentive.

I visited Mainkai Cafe for their warm Apple Strudel. It comes with vanilla ice cream and cream. Taste was very good. Additionally we ordered potato wedges and hot chocolate that was decent. Small outlet but a Good place to visit.

We came to this place attracted by the good reviews and the nice spot right next to the river. There was a big queue in order to take a seat and we decided it seemed worthy, so we waited for approximately 30 minutes before taking a seat. Unfortunately the experience didn't live up the expectations. We ordered 4 gourmet breakfasts with some coffee. The coffees came first and they were alright, the problem is that the breakfasts for 4 people took almost one hour to come to the table so by that time the coffees were more than cold. I can understand that some complex elaboration dishes like a paella can take some time, but almost one hour for 4 breakfasts consisting in 1 piece of smoked salmon, 4 pieces of supermarket cheese, a piece of brie, ham, cucumber tomato and two fried eggs can't take such an amount of time. Additionally when the food came they only brought 3 of the breakfasts, making one of our friends wait for 15 minutes more before we told them we wanted the last one fast or we would not pay anything. Also the price was extremely high for the quality and the amount of food; 25 euros for the breakfast attached here made me feel a little bit scammed. We will not come back.
