8 Food Tours in Hesse That You Shouldn't Miss

August 10, 2021 Viva Honore

Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

We didn't want to eat in an anonymous restaurant at a Frankfurt airport hotel and used TripAdvisor to find this place. A very traditional pub/restaurant serving good German food. Pub grub as we would say in England, and nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed a Goulash soup followed by Wiener Schnitzel! Very good it was too. Service was friendly and English spoken. Reasonable price as well. A good pit stop on our way back to England having seen the Grand Prix at the Nurburgring!

It was interesting to learn the history about the Berlin Wall. There is not much of the wall left but it's enough to have a good idea how things were back then.
