Where is the street food in Frankfurt actually good?
The Kleinmarkthalle on Hasengasse is the honest answer to this question: a covered market where you can graze on Grüne Soße with hard-boiled eggs, handkäse with music (the vinegar-and-onion marinated cheese that will test your commitment), and freshly fried fish from the upper gallery. It opens weekdays and Saturday mornings, closes early afternoon on Saturdays, and is closed Sundays, so plan accordingly. For outdoor street food, the Sachsenhausen riverbank during summer draws vendors selling decent currywurst and cold Äpfelwein by the glass. The Bornheim neighborhood has a quieter market scene with Turkish and Middle Eastern stalls along Berger Strasse worth a slow walk. Skip the touristy Römerberg square food stands entirely; the prices are high and the quality reflects captive foot traffic. Frankfurt is not a street food city in the Bangkok or Istanbul sense, but the Kleinmarkthalle punches well above what most visitors expect from a German financial hub.
