Proprium – Fine tapas and delicious wine

This one is a really great new discovery in Gallus. Proprium is a wine bar that serves fine little tapas-style dishes, cheese and serrano platers as well as larger steak dishes. It only opened just this year and was apparently at first focused on serving lunch. My recent visit was the first time in Proprium and I cannot say anything about the lunch deals, but I am definitely very happy about them opening now for dinner as well. Proprium is a cozy place to enjoy some after-work wine and indulge in some of its fine foods. This place absolutely adds to the Gallus neighborhood as it brings the more upscale concept of a wine bar with proper food. There is no shortage of wine and tapas in Frankfurt, but most places are in the city center or the popular dining neighborhoods of Sachsenhausen and Nordend.

The flair of Proprium is relaxed enough to be very comfortable visiting casually during the week. The wines on offer are generally not cheap, but we got an excellent bottle for an OK price. The service was also extremely friendly and inviting. The homey feel inside is created by the great decoration and especially by a large fireplace in a corner. The opening hours are not too long, but this is probably because they started with a lunch menu first and only try recently to open for dinner as well. From my side, I hope they succeed and establish this location as a great evening wine bar. So far, they are not open on Saturday, but only during the week – including Friday.

We ordered a Spanish Rioja, which was wonderful. I cannot get disappointed by a Spanish red. As for the food, we got a couple of the tapas dishes, fried vegetables, a savory chicken piece, goat cheese with pears and others. I especially enjoyed the cheese platter, which had a range of fantastic hard cheeses. Cheese platters in Germany can often be rather disappointing, but Proprium knows to offer a couple of good cuts. Overall, we enjoyed these really tasteful pieces of food, excellent wine and the great flair. Definitely will be back.
