For us, Franz Ferdinand is the best place in Bochum for Austrian cuisine. The food is high-quality, delicious, and lovingly prepared. What's especially cool is that from the terrace, you can even see a few animals from the zoo behind it. You don't get that everywhere.
And the place looks really impressive.
The menu offers many classic dishes, but also modern interpretations. Especially good for people with food intolerances: There are many gluten-free options.
The service is attentive, friendly, and fast. Even if the restaurant isn't one of the cheapest, the quality is definitely worth the money. Everything is clean, well organized, and run with passion.
In conclusion:
Stroll around the zoo beforehand—it's small but cute. Then head to Franz Ferdinand. This isn't a restaurant visit; it's an excursion with guaranteed enjoyment. Reserving a table is worthwhile; it's often busy. We'll definitely be back.
The staff was very friendly and responded to special requests for a gluten allergy and made alternative suggestions so that my niece could eat something without hesitation and we felt well advised. The breakfast with scrambled eggs was actually quite tasty and sufficient, thank you very much
We registered for the menu carousel at Post's Lottental. All dishes were of a high standard, both in terms of taste and appearance. In the gluten-free menu, gluten-containing components were replaced and not simply left out, as has already been the case several times with the competition. We would like to give special praise to the service (Volkan), who was very pleasant due to his unobtrusive, brisk and humorous manner. We will definitely be visiting this restaurant again!
