20 years. And still hungry for more.

Every spring, the all-important question returns to Frankfurt's Roßmarkt: who makes the best Green Sauce? In 2027, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary with eight evening shows, 49 sauces and twelve days of festival market.

The participants

Seven cooks. Seven sauces. One winner each evening.

Each evening, seven restaurants from Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region compete. The glasses are numbered, so no one knows whose sauce is whose until the very end. 650 guests taste, vote and choose the winner of the evening. At the final on 1 May, the year's best Green Sauce is crowned. The restaurants, wineries and cider makers for each evening will be announced in early 2027.

Around the festival tent, the Roßmarkt becomes a festival market: Green Sauce served the classic way with potatoes and eggs, with schnitzel or steak, or with an international twist alongside falafel and kimchi. Complemented by regional wine and cider, and live music on the market stage from midday.
