Gustav in Frankfurt’s Westend district offers a new, subtle form of avant-garde: shapes and colors inspired by Bauhaus; unconventional works by young Frankfurt artists; an atmosphere that combines relaxation with intense concentration; and cuisine that dispenses with flashy effects and instead embraces precise craftsmanship, finely harmonized nuances and meticulous attention to detail.
“It was really interesting and fun to work on the right pairings between my food and the wines for this lunch: you can always learn something new!”
