Ramen in
Frankfurt.
Frankfurt needs only a short list: one nationally respected independent and a small group of specialists with enough history and repeat praise to justify the stop.
Kitakata noodles · Tonkotsu · Quiet craft
The essential list
4 bowls worth the journey.
01
IllustratedMuku
Order: Tonkotsu ramen or Yamatani ramen
Muku opened in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district in 2010 and became an unusually respected German ramen address. Its work later reached Japan through sister locations, and its bowls have also been served in Japan Airlines lounges in Frankfurt.

IllustratedRamen Jun Westend
Order: Kitakata ramen
Ramen Jun built a Frankfurt following around Kitakata-style character: broad, pleasantly chewy noodles and a lighter soy-led soup than the dense tonkotsu many European diners expect.
