There is no
shortage of Japanese sushi places in Frankfurt. It is hugely popular and
restaurants can be found in all central parts of the city. Among them are some
of what are considered to be the best restaurants in all of Frankfurt. For
example, Iwase close to Konstablerwache or Moriki in the ground floor of the
Deutsche Bank towers are both well-known and offer some of the finest sushi in
the city. There is however a restaurant in the Bahnhofsviertel that would also
be a contester for the title of best sushi in town. Bento Boutique, in an
extremely small place, just off Kaiserstraße, serves some absolutely great
dishes.
I have
already visited a few times and was always very happy with the service, the
quality of food and the great arrangement of the plates. I usually order a
mixed set of nigiri and rolls as well as edamame (salted green peas) on the
side. One can however also put together their own mixes. The menu boosts a
large variety of sushi, some really innovative. Besides the usual salmon and
tuna versions, there is also eel, mackerel or caviar. There are all kinds of
interesting combinations, for example with avocado, egg, tofu, but also cream
cheese, chili-mayo sauce and reddish. They come accompanied with the
traditional sides of pickled ginger and (a huge pot of) wasabi.
The place is
really tiny and has only a few seats to sit. Actually, the ground floor is
basically only the checkout counter, where busy people order their take-out
sushi during their lunch breaks. A few tables can be found on the upper floor
though. You either have be lucky or reserve in advance. The design is carefully
thought through and has a classical Japanese touch. The owners and staff know
that presentation of sushi is key and make sure already when you arrive that
the chopsticks are arranged correctly. The plates are just outright beautiful,
the food nicely decorated and presented. To sum up, this is one of my favorite
sushi restaurants. I know however, that it has plenty of equally good
competition in the city.
