Ernos was a Finnish band founded in 1966 by the vocalist-pianist-songwriter Erno Lindahl, after whom the band was also named. Their first single 'Yksin' ("Alone"), penned by Lindahl, came out in summer 1966. Soon afterwards the band's bassist Jorma Toivonen and drummer Mikko Kuoppamäki left the Ernos. Late 1966 was released the second single 'Harha' ("Illusion"), another Lindahl composition and probably the best-known track of the Ernos. These were melancholic songs akin to someone like Roy Orbison. Harmonies also played an important part in the Ernos sound, sung alongside Lindahl by Ilari Hannula who joined in 1966, and in summer 1968 Kati Borg and Marjo-Riitta Kervinen. One can even trace doo-wop influences in some of their songs.

The first Ernos album Rutto ja romu (1968) consisted entirely of Erno Linldahl's own compositions except for the song 'Kaikki hyvin', which was a Finnish translation of The Beach Boys' 'Good Vibrations'. The second album Lekaa otsaan (1970) included some rock classics sung in English. The final album Ernos came out in 1973. Erno Lindahl also did some solo recordings accompanied by the orchestra of Nacke Johansson, such as 'Ei hätää' (a Finnish version of 'Elenore' by The Turtles) and 'Elämältä en halua enempää' ('Obla-Di Obla-Da' by the The Beatles).

I had in fact tried to book a table at Ernos Bistro, also located on the same street in Frankfurt's fashionable westend, but they were filled up and I am glad they were, as Gargantua turned out to be much more interesting.
Ernos, which I very much liked on a previous Frankfurt visit, is as classical a French restaurant as one can find in Germany, very much in the mold of what the Michelin people really like in Germany.
Erno's food is maybe not the most creative but the dishes are perfectly executed.
