"25 years we come and have dinner with Fernando. Always a pleasure to be welcomed like family. The food is delicious, always fresh and tasty. The place is not big so you feel like home.
Special mention to the spaghettini with gamberoni🤩"

Die Leiter, The Ladder, is one of Frankfurt’s swankiest restaurants and is a place to be seen as much as a place to eat. The food is a mixture of classic French and Italian dishes, with a long wine list to complement its vast array of dishes. There are German plates on the menu, but the grub is really about Latin influences.
