The story
Ratskeller Oberursel, at Marktplatz 1 in Oberursel, Germany, is a French-leaning restaurant with Fusion touches, rated 2 Kochlöffel in the Schlemmer Atlas 2026. The kitchen works with seasonal, carefully chosen produce and places it between regional and continental cooking.
Classic German dishes are reworked with a Mediterranean slant, and the kitchen keeps the natural taste of each ingredient at the centre. Steaks and schnitzels sit on the menu beside a few French classics. Vegan and vegetarian guests are also catered for.
The restaurant occupies a roughly 300-year-old half-timbered house, and massive oak beams define the historic interior. The wine list draws on Piedmont, Tuscany, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and leading German winemakers. Helena and Heinrich Simon have run the Ratskeller for over 50 years.
