The story

Seven Swans Frankfurt: Vegan German Fine Dining with a Michelin Star

Seven Swans in Frankfurt am Main cooks vegan German food at Mainkai 4, and the Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026.

Ricky Saward's vegan kitchen

Every ingredient comes from the region, and the permaculture plots on the restaurant's own farm, about 30 kilometers away, supply the produce. Celery is baked in a dough made from immature grain stalks, served with reduced sauerkraut juice that carries surprising caramel notes and a sweet lupin oil reminiscent of coffee. Steamed beetroot arrives in a puff pastry parcel wrapped in steamed pointed cabbage leaves, with parsley root cream and a mushroom duxelles finished with a hollandaise-style sauce made from burnt onions.

The room and the glass

The building is said to be the narrowest in the city, and several tables face the Main River. An atmospheric bar occupies the ground floor, and a small rooftop terrace adds a few seats outdoors. Beverage pairings offer three options each, one of them non-alcoholic.

Concept Vegan fine dining with consistently local ingredients; a surprise menu. Culinary Style Ricky Saward's approach to vegan cuisine is highly individual; all ingredients come exclusively from the region and are grown on-site. Through elaborate techniques, these yield highly aesthetic, flavor-packed creations that continually astonish: Celery baked in a dough made from immature grain stalks, accompanied by reduced sauerkraut juice with surprising caramel notes and sweet lupin oil reminiscent of coffee. Or steamed beetroot in a "puff pastry parcel", wrapped in steamed pointed cabbage leaves and parsley root cream alongside mushrooms transformed into a reimagined duxelles, finished with a hollandaise-style sauce based on burnt onions. Wine Beverage pairings with three options each, one of which is non-alcoholic. Atmosphere Unique ambiance in the narrowest building in the city, with several tables offering views of the Main River. Atmospheric bar on the ground floor, plus a small rooftop terrace. Verdict A unique all-around experience, equally captivating for omnivores.
