Our Place.
Our Stories.
Your journey.
For the love of flavour, freedom & four wheels.
At Frankas, it's about more than just good food. It's about the lifestyle between country roads and campfires, between vineyards and game dishes, between cooking classes in Bonn and vintage road trips through Europe.
We celebrate the small, real moments – at the stove, at the table, while traveling.
Stories from all over the world end up in our pots.
Our wine tours take you to where taste is at home. And sometimes we just roll towards the sun with the classic car and a picnic basket.
Cooking school. Gourmet tours. Wine moments. Road trip romance.
Discover the world with us, just as it tastes.

Echte Knechte
The servants, the house and the sausage.
At Gesindehaus , our traditional restaurant in Bonn, we don’t just cook – we work with heart, hands and humor.
Mac & Frank, the true servants of good taste, are passionate about their sausage kettle, smoker, and grill. The result? Our legendary, homemade bratwurst Franka's style – raw, honest, and full of flavor.
Whether at a sausage course, at a braai or simply fresh from the grill: Our sausage is like the servants' quarters itself - handmade, hearty and a little bit wild.
Come by, join in, or take a piece of sausage happiness home with you.
Retro Rentals
Our partner & friend: Retro Rentals – Classic Cars with character
Whether an elegant Mercedes from the 1960s or an iconic model from the 2000s – the impressive fleet of over 40 vehicles brings a real road trip feeling to South Africa's roads.
Together with Retro Rentals, we at Frankas make automotive dreams come true:
Private classic car tours, photo shoots, weddings, film productions or simply for enjoyment on the road – with or without a chauffeur.
Let's drive the feeling – together.
