perfect brunch for 19€ - Edit
the brunch is everything you’re asking for. they have the best pastries: croissants, franzbrötchen and even lye croissants (laugenecken), which i never had in vegan before. drinks as water, juices, tea and coffee are included. you pay extra for espresso based drinks.

Good but not Great - Edit
Very nice atmosphere, service started off fantastic when restaurant was empty, but dropped off considerably once it got busy (on a Wednesday night it was packed). Vegetable forward food, but for our tastes, a bit pricey for the actual food. We tried the Bao buns (my favorite), oyster mushroom tacos wirh kimchi, and artichoke with tomatoes. Tapas style allows tasting of multiple dishes. Servers describe each dish which is a nice touch, just that everything we had would not seek out again (at the prices charged). Each table has a flask of vodka that is free to drink.
Read morePros: Ambiance, Entree descriptions
Cons: Uneven service, Food good but not great (expensive), Limited beer options

Fine dining for reasonable pricing - Edit
If you want to experience fine dining but don’t want to spend a total fortune this is the place. It’s all very chic, the staff really knows it all about the menu. The food is simply amazing you can try so many different things, since they have a tapas kinda menu. One of the best vegan experiences I’ve ever had.

Top Empfehlung - Edit
Wir hatten das 10er Menu und die allermeisten Gänge waren eine Offenbarung! Sehr kreative Küche mit saisonalen Produkten und wechselnder Karte. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
Read moreEin Kleinst-Kritikpunkt ist, dass es sehr lange dauert, für das Menu muss man schon mal 4 Stunden einplanen. Wir waren darauf nicht eingestellt, wenn man es vorher weiß ist es ja auch kein Problem.
Pros: Freundlichkeit, Ambiente, Geschmack
Cons: Dauert sehr lange

Very creative fine dining - Edit
I'll start with the good: the courses were full of fresh ingredients that balanced each other well. All of the combinations were so creative and flavorful! This was my first time doing fine dining, and I was expecting the portions to be so small but for a ten course meal, they were surprisingly big and very filling! Some highlights for me were the whipped herb-y butter (so rich and creamy), the ramen bowls, the dumplings with some kind of gingery paste filling, and the chai foam with little cakes as one of the desserts. A really nice culinary experience overall.
Read moreThe downside was that the pacing of courses was off. I had read reviews (and the waiter also mentioned) that they are quick to replace courses when you finish. But we found it to be the opposite, we waited for long periods of time in-between courses and were quite tired by the end and honestly just wanted to leave while we still had a few courses left (our entire meal took 3.5 hours). It seems like this may be because we chose the 7:30 seating. There were people who came at 8 or 8:30 who caught up to us in courses by the end. Perhaps if we had come earlier or later, we wouldn't have spent so much time there.
Pros: High quality food
Cons: Could be a very long meal

Fantastic! - Edit
Last week, my boyfriend invited me to dinner at Leuchtendroter. I'm vegan, he's not, but we both enjoyed it very much.

We ate the take it all menu and were both full and happy afterwards.
We would love to come back.

Amazing vegan breakfast - Edit
TOP NOTCH VEGAN BREAKFAST/BRUNCH!!
Read moreThis is so far my absolute favorite vegan place for breakfast! Why so? Let’s get started!
THE SERVICE:
deserves 5 from 5 stars! I was asked if I wanted the light or heavy breakfast, I decided to choose the heavy. I could not decide rather to start with the salty or sweet dishes first… so she recommended to surprise me with dishes one by one and if I liked it, I could just say so and order it again! PERFECT! Also! I never had to wait or ask for more food, it was noticed by the staff and I immediately received the next dish as I finished the last!
Although! I was recently told, it now serves an open buffet.
THE FOOD:
Literally everything… everything was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented! From the soup, to the fresh bread and pesto, all the way to the French toast and porridge; absolutely fantastic!
COSTS:
about 26€ per person for the full heavy breakfast offer. If you ask me, it was worth every single cent!
ENVIRONMENT/ATMOSPHERE:
As you will see through my pictures, the restaurant offered a spacious and clean view. Creative pictures and paintings as well as nice tables and decoration filled the room.
I do however recommend eating indoors! I saw how guests were annoyed outside with all the wasps that also wanted a taste of that delicious food. :)
All in all, I can say that this place flawlessly delivered at a high quality standard.
Must visit! #Veganuary
Pros: Amazing food, Nice service , Great atmosphere

A great fine dining experience that fell a little short in some areas - Edit
So many good things to say about our dinner here but some disappointments. We travel a lot and try to find these dining experiences at least once per trip. It's always a treat! We found the atmosphere to be great - very busy but not too loud. Service was extremely friendly and they did a great job translating complicated dishes to English. That said, some courses were brought out before the previous round had been finished and/or cleared which was a bit sloppy for this level of dining. The 10 course meal was good, the right amount of food, and well-balanced but some dishes seemed to be missing a sauce or lacking salt while others were excellent. Few dishes "wow'd" us though, which we were expecting. Overall it was a great experience but far from perfect. Cheers!

Guter Einstieg in die vegane Küche - Edit
Ordentlich Auswahl. Zum teilen kreative Umsetzung. Allerdings nicht mit wow Faktor. Möhren Hot Dog macht satt, ist jetzt aber nicht das „Erlebnis“. Highlight für uns war das Brot. Für den Einstieg ist das sicherlich auch für „Nicht-Veganer“ super.

Outstanding in food, atmosphere and service - Edit
A fine dining experience that I’m very happy I could experience. I made a reservation and when I entered I was immediately by welcomed by very friendly staff. They explained the concept and the food 🍱 and gave very helpful tips finding the right drink.
Read moreI took the Riesling from Leuchtendroter which turned out to be a natural unfiltered wine 🍷 and they let me taste it beforehand to see if I like it. The food was incredible delicious, thoughtful and unusual and I could not think of what was better. The staff explained each course on ingredients or howbit was prepared.
If you come with 2 or more you can take the 10 course menu. I chose 3 courses and loved every bit of it. You get bottled water and I got a little free dessert 🍮 at the end.
The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful and the staff went out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time and knows what they’re doing and eating. The prices in fine dining are never cheap, but they were reasonable for the outstanding food and service you get.
There is outdoor seating and parking available.
Pros: Outstanding fine dining flavor combinations , Friendly and knowledgeable staff, Beautiful venue

Wow - Edit
Had this on my list for ages and finally went there yesterday with a friend. We took the whole menu and it was truly top notch. Definitely on the pricier side of things, but worth every cent. Every single course was so creative! I love that they use regional/seasonal products and don’t just try to veganize things but come up with highly individual dishes. A great experience & highly recommend for both vegans and omnivores!

Unbelievable experience, truly a MUST - Edit
I have been here twice and both times were, to be quite honest, magical. Food presentation was playful, creative, and simply beautiful. Each item was better than the last and kept me guessing. Using seasonal ingredients keeps the focus on the star vegetable, staying both simple and yet complex and surprising. Flavor combinations are varied, with many creative pairings I’ve never seen before. I am so impressed, what more is there to say? My ONLY complaint is that the two hour window was very tight, you don’t have much time for breaks or conversation if you order the whole menu.
Read moreBonus points for an extensive wine menu that also impressed (try the orange wines).
The menu is best ordered in its entirety with another person. The mood is romantic, intimate, and warm. In a word, perfect.
Pros: Creative menu, Great wine selection, Seasonal ingredients
Cons: Time window was very tight

10 stars … or more - Edit
The food was not only always delicious but also always had surprising twists which showed that there are creative minds behind the menu. The “tapas share” concept allows one to taste a lot of these creations which I find great. Topped by super friendly service … This was quite something. Applaus and chapeau.

Creative and totally delicious - Edit
For our wedding anniversary we were looking for someplace special to eat and Leuchtendroter didn‘t disappoint! Everyone there is very nice, the style is casual and we felt very welcome. The dinner comes in the style of tapas and with the „take it all“ you get to taste everything in the menu. The theme of the evening was kind of asian flavors with a twist and we really enjoyed everything we got. Every course was unique in flavor and texture. The portions are just right. Just know when you have the 18-20h timeslot there are almost no pauses between courses. We had an awesome evening and would definitely return when we are in Frankfurt again.

For the breakfast you pay one price, for which you have buffet, drinks and some à la carte dishes included. In terms of taste and quality, everything is really at the top level. The service was also exceptionally attentive and friendly! We will definitely come back and also try the dinner!

Ein Erlebnis - Edit
Das Leuchtendroter war das erste gehobenere Restaurant, das meine Freundin und ich besucht haben. Die Atmosphäre ist vielleicht erstmal ein wenig einschüchternd, aber das klappt auch spätestens nachdem man seinen Platz eingenommen hat - das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Eher dunkel gehalten, sehr atmosphärisch. Es gibt kostenlosen (guten) Vodka am Tisch, den wir zum Reinigen des Geschmacks benutzt haben, denn jeder Gang, den wir hatten, war ein Erlebnis. Man kann aus einer Karte, die alte 6-8 Wochen aktualisiert wird, aus ungefähr 11 Gerichten wählen, oder auch einmal durch alles durchprobieren (60 Euro pro Person, mindestens 2). Für einzelnen Gerichte werden nicht beschrieben, es werden nur die Hauptzutaten erwähnt. Die Gerichte werden dann nach und nach an den Platz gebracht und sind explizit zum Teilen gedacht. Es gab viele verschiedene Dinge von wunderbaren Brot, über gerösteten Blumenkohl in einer Erdnusscreme bis hin zu Pastinakeneis mit krossem Topping. Jeder Gang wird kurz vorgestellt vom Kellner, an da liegt es an einem selbst, herauszufinden, wie man das beste aus den Essen holt. Ich empfehle, gemeinsam jeweils einen Bissen zu nehmen und sich darüber auszutauschen - dass macht den Spaß an der Sache aus. Die Portionen waren übersichtlich, aber durch die schiere Masse an Gängen waren wir absolut gesättigt am Ende. Wir werden definitiv wieder kommen. Wer gutes Essen haben möchte, wird hier definitiv auf seine Kosten kommen. Wir als Laien haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Read morePros: Komplett vegan, teils aus eigenem Anbau, Große Abwechslung, jedes Gericht ist anders, Perfekt für Dates (atmosphärisch, heimelig)

Incredible culinary experience - Edit
Update 6th August on breakfast (see below)
Read moreAt the same time fine dining and fashionably laid back, this is a brilliant place to have a special dinner - or breakfast.
Each dish is quite affordable by itself but they vary in size/ how filling they are. Each ingredient is carefully selected and artfully combined. Some dishes riff on traditional classics like roasted bread or warm potato salad, others push boundaries, creating something new.
The atmosphere is very casual and hip. Quirky: each table has a bottle of Wodka from which you can help yourself. They also have lovely wine options.
We'll definitely be back!
6th of August: We've been back! Absolutely brilliant breakfast deal. For 26€ you get an all inclusive meal with as many dishes and beverages as you like. A bit more traditional and comfy than the dinner, while just as fine quality. Once more, well definitely be back - again!

Posh but missing a pinch of salt - Edit
It had so much expectatives with this place. Luckily I could get a table there and was so excited to try all the dishes. I knew it would be pricy and small portions, due to its Michelin star character. All the plates was very elaborated, but my impression was that they were lacking salt. All the flavours were very "green" and subtle. It's funny but the plate I enjoyed most was the bread with the garlic spread. The other ones were just missing something.
