short
period
of
preparation.
In
the
evening
within
a
decelerate
atmosphere
full‐course
menus
as
well
as
single

are
available.
Always
providing
high
quality
products,
the
price
range
varies
for
a
single
dish
to
an
exclusive
full‐course
menu.
As
defined
by
the
Margarete,
cooking
means
to
interpret
local‐traditional
cooking
with
market‐fresh
products
and
develop
these
furthermore.
The
chefs
attach
importance
to
top‐quality
products
which
continuously
will
be
used
according
to
the
seasons.
The
menus
are
created
from
two
executive
chefs,
on
equal
terms.

Both
have
gained
intensive
experience
in
high‐class
restaurants,
i.e.
Villa
Metzler.
Mr.
Bolz
has
been
awarded
by
the
Gourmet
Guide
Gault
Millau
as
the
pastry
chef
of
the
year
2010.
After
that
he
has
been
sous‐chef
at
a
well‐respected
restaurant
Bean
&
Beluga
in
Dresden.
Luka
Spanjol‐Simunelic
worked
at
the
Frankfurt
restaurants
Cyrano,
Tigerpalast
and
Villa
Merton
all
of
which
are
famous
restaurants
in
Frankfurt.
Margarete
is
open
from
7.30
am
until
late

The
gastronomic
infrastructure
is
completed
with
a
supplement
of
a
multifunctional
exhibition
and
event
room
the
„Window
to
the
city“.
It’s
program
focuses
on
the
literary
aspects
of
the
Margarete
where
upon
the
unique
architectural
and
logistic
constellation
sets
a
course.
Immediately
seen
through
the
panorama
windows,
one
enters
the
exhibition
room
through
the
restaurant.
It
is
open
for
visitors
from
early
morning
to
night
according
to
the
opening
hours
of
the
restaurant.
The
concept
aims
for
a
non
academic
intermediation
of
the
history
of
literature
and
publishing.

Although
founded
in
a
cooperation
pro
bono
public
at
the
Goethe‐University
and
thence
looked
after
by
Wolfgang
Schopf
and
Vera
Kern.

In
the
first
exhibition
you
will
find
writings
of
Thomas
Meinecke
and
Alexander
Kluge
as
well

several
cultural
initiatives.
Already
announced
are
programs
for
the

Within
the
coherence
of

MAKING
HISTORY
von
RAY
2012
photographie
projects,
the
exhibition
from
the
works
of
the
New
York
fotographer
Frank
Schramm
show
that
the
Window
to
the
City
is
open
for
all
kind
of
arts
and
cultural
institutions
of
Frankfurt.
The
eponym
of
the
restaurant
is
the
Viennese
architect
Margarete
Schütte‐Lihotzky.
As
the
first
woman,
she
studied
at
the
Viennese
University
of
applied
arts
and
has
been
appointed
by
Ernst
May
into
the
municipal
work
service
of
the
city
of
Frankfurt
in
the
year
1926.
There
Schütte‐
Lihotzky
created
the
original
„Frankfurt
Kitchen“
in
the
year
1920
whichever
has
been
taken
as
a
prototype
for
all
built‐in
kitchens.

While
she
created
this
kitchen
she
brought
forth
her
wishes
for
an
optimized
and
economized
working
process.
The
design
of
the
functionality,
the
clarity
and
the
consequent
accomplishment
accumulated
centralized
creative
tendencies.
The
reminiscence
to
Margarete
Schütte‐Lihotzky
refers
to
the
understanding
of
Margarete
which
you
will
find
everywhere
in
the
design
of
the
restaurant.
Schütte‐Lihotzky
advocated
a
functional
separation
of
living
and
working
rooms
to
separate
the
domestic
working
areas
from
the
relaxation,
entertaining
and
eating
zones.
Margarete
reframes
this
approach
by
incorporating
parts
into
the
guest
area.
Some
seats
allow
overseeing
the
open
kitchen
to
enjoy
the
full
range
of
our
exquisite
regional
products.
The
citizens
of
Frankfurt,
the
visitors
of
the
city,
the
cultural
environment,
the
township
and
the
financial
sector
are
supposed
to
receive
a
conjointly
“Frankfurt
Kitchen”.
A
place
to
get
together
for
private
events,
business
meetings,
relaxed
gatherings
and
for
interesting
talks.
Located
in
the
heart
of
the
city,
Margarete
is
nearby
main
sightseeing
places
like
the
Paulskirche,
the
Römer
or
the
Dom,
next
to
the
historical
city
of
Frankfurt.

Margarete
is
domiciled

in
the
“House
of
Books”,

located
in
the
same
house
as
the
“Börsenverein
des
Deutschen
Buchhandels”
(German
Publishers
and
Bookselling
Cooperation)
and
the
Buchmesse
Frankfurt
(bookfair
Frankfurt).
This
combination
will
create
an
exchanging
atmosphere
between
the
various
companies
and
the
Frankfurt
public.

of
Modern
Art
of

(Blumen
on
the
way).
A
catering
service
of
its

kind,
approaching
the
holistic
oriented
basis
of
the
food.
In
the
past
the
team
around
Simon
Horn
and
Raffaela

have
managed
several
major
projects
like
creating
from
scratch
a
restaurant
for
six
weeks
in
the
Historic
Villa
Metzler,
the
entertainment
of
thousands

then:
