Dinner at Tor Dining, a Pop-up Restaurant in Frankfurt, Germany

In Frankfurt, Annette and I are members of a group of wine and food aficiniados that meets about once a month in a top restaurant. In late February, we had dinner at Tor Dining, a pop-up restaurant in downtown Frankfurt. There were nine of us. We had a 5-couse menu and 13 bottles of wine.

Tor Art Space

Tor Art Space is a modern-art project in Frankfurt downtown, initiated by Anne Nowitzki and Ulf Appel. It provides art students with space to present their art to the general public in currently unused quarters in the Allerheiligenviertel.

Tor Dining

The creative works are accompanied by culinary creations: At Tor Dining, a few blocks down the road from TOR Art Space, the two chefs Nick Kircher and Chris Wassmus await their guests.

Tor Dining is open to the general public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There is one large communal table, 11 meter long for 32 guests.

There is one menu, with 6 courses, which changes every week. The menu is Euro 63 excluding wine and Euro 101 including wine. We ordered excluding wine and brought our one wine (Euro 10 per bottle corkage fee). Everybody eats at the same time. The open kitchen is staffed with 2 people only, Nick Kircher and Chris Wassmu. Everybody eats togather and has to arrive at the same time, 19:30.

Katja Appelt on facebook: Frankfurt is full of (foodie) surprises these days - if you walk through the slightly wicked Allerheiligenstraße🏢🏩🏢, hidden behind a bland 1970s style aluminium framed frosted glass door you find one of Frankfurts new culinary secrets 🤩- the pop-up restaurant Tor Art Space - Dining (Tor Dining). Last night, the chefs Nick Kircher & Chris Wassmus gave an impressive insight into there cuisine @ Tor Dining – Tastelab. Gr8 food, impressively tender beef, playful use of spices accompanied by one of my fav wines these days: the W-Files Orion (yes, it is a natural wine from Riesling, MT & SB) AND my lovely sister ... It was a great foodie evening. Btw: Usually Tor Art Dining offers a six course menu - guests are seated at a long table with a view of the open kitchen. An experience not to miss
