Erno's Bistro may have become a French culinary institution since Ernst Erno Schmidt opened it in 1974, but not much has changed visually. Instead of red chequered tablecloths, there are now blue chequered ones, but the rows of emptied wine bottles with famous labels on the walls and the wood-panelled rooms have remained and have characterised the ambience since the early days. The bistro has 35 seats and a terrace with 25 seats when the weather is fine. The restaurant is located in the quiet Westend district of Frankfurt and is just a 20-minute walk from the city centre. Patron Eric Huber took over the restaurant in 1995 and hired Valéry Mathis, who has been at the helm of the kitchen ever since. Eric Huber recommends the right bottle from the 600-strong wine list to accompany the French-Mediterranean cuisine.
