recommendable
So good in its quality or characteristics that you can recommend it to others with a clear conscience.
Der neue Film des Regisseurs ist absolut empfehlenswert.
The director's new film is absolutely recommendable.
The word is a compound made from the verb 'empfehlen' (to recommend) and the adjective 'wert' (worth). So it literally means 'worth being recommended'. This structure with '-wert' is common in German (e.g., 'sehenswert' (worth seeing), 'lesenswert' (worth reading)).
Das Museum ist wirklich sehenswert und die Ausstellung sehr empfehlenswert.
The museum is really worth seeing, and the exhibition is very recommendable.
'Empfehlenswert' (recommendable) is very often used predicatively with the verb 'sein' (to be). The structure is then: Something is (very/especially/absolutely) recommendable.
Dieses Restaurant ist für Liebhaber der italienischen Küche besonders empfehlenswert.
This restaurant is especially recommendable for lovers of Italian cuisine.
The adjective often describes things that one can experience or evaluate. Typical nouns are 'Film' (film), 'Buch' (book), 'Restaurant' (restaurant), 'Ausflug' (excursion), or 'Reiseziel' (travel destination).

suitable
'geeignet' and 'empfehlenswert' can both say something positive about a thing. 'geeignet' means that something is suitable for a particular purpose. 'empfehlenswert' means that something is so good that you can recommend it to others. Learners may confuse the words because something suitable can often also be recommendable. But the focus is different: 'geeignet' is about the purpose, while 'empfehlenswert' is about quality or experience. An inexpensive laptop can be suitable for simple office work, but not necessarily recommendable if it breaks quickly.
