• 3. "The Blasky Roof", The Blasky Hotel & Rooftop

The heart of the new private hotel beats on the top floor – with a bar, restaurant, and wraparound terrace. At only six stories, the hotel is tiny by local standards, but thanks to its location on the Sachsenhausen side of the city, it offers a complete postcard panorama of the skyline. On the menu: burgers, Wagyu entrecôte, or miso-glazed cauliflower steak.

• 4. "Maintower Restaurant & Lounge"

Dining 187 meters above the city is truly an exceptional experience. In the minimalist restaurant on the 53rd floor, both the view and the fine-dining cuisine are equally impressive. On the menu by rising star Martin Weghofer, duck liver meets Asian pear, pistachio, and ponzu; fjord salmon is served with Thai flavors; and halibut is accompanied by fennel, caviar, and wasabi. Restaurant guests are given priority at the security checkpoint before taking the express elevator.

• 5. "Franziska" in Frankfurt

How enviable to have an aunt like Franziska, who once cooked innovative meals for her nephew, in this case Christian Mook. In her honor, the renowned restaurateur developed his "Progressive German Vintage Cuisine," which he offers on the 39th floor of the new Henninger Tower. Located 140 meters above Sachsenhausen, the kitchen surprises with interpretations of familiar dishes such as "Russian Egg" with mustard-dill cream and Imperial caviar, or truffled Saumagen (stuffed pig's stomach) with veal liver sausage croquette.
