"We came for a late dinner and found a nice table in their backyard. Service was super nice and quick. The food was really excellent. You wouldn’t expect such creative and upscale cuisine in a small town like Erzhausen. Worth the drive out from Frankfurt or Darmstadt!"
Philip Hubertus
"Made a last-minute decision to book a table for dinner after a couple of long days at convention in Frankfurt;
Despite Erzhausen being a bit out of the way, it is the best decision I have made in a while.
Great atmosphere and excellent service by very hospitable staff, resulting in a comfortable dining experience with great tasting food which was both well presented and well portioned.
We will absolutely be dining at Mati's Waldlust again when in the Frankfurt area."
Patrick Hansen
"Since I don't speak German, I was afraid communication would be an issue, but the servers speak English without any problem.
Good atmosphere and fantastic presentation, taste, and service at a fair price.
If I am ever near Erzhausen again, I will definitely be revisiting."
