"German Cuisine" Restaurants in Cologne
For Maximilian Lorenz, local flavors are an essential part of his culinary DNA. In two top menus - one of which is vegetarian - he conveys a new German food culture.
Even under new gastronomic management, the traditional "Gute Stube" in the time-honored Grand Hotel remains true to its guiding principles. Lars Wolf's French-Rhenish cuisine looks very familiar.
Trendy restaurant with a great wine list. True to the motto "shared plates are double the pleasure", you can customize your program. There are a handful of hot and cold dishes to choose from.
Warmly run restaurant with down-to-earth pub cuisine and an excellent selection of German-Austrian wines. The first Thursday of the month is reserved for juicy, crispy fried chicken.
Located between the cathedral and the Rhine, this chic wine bar by Michelin-starred chef Maximilian Lorenz pays tribute to his grandfathers. German-Mediterranean bistro cuisine with a twist is served here.
Probably Cologne's most stylish bistro concept delights fans with its unagitated product cuisine, such as free-range chicken with Albufera sauce or Faroe Islands salmon with green papaya and curry-lime foam.
Food and drink keep body and soul together, even in this Cologne institution. The dining room and service outfit have not changed for decades, and the menu is also wonderfully retro.
Quaint little pub with crispy knuckle of pork, juicy ham hock, nimble Köbes - i.e. waiters - and ice-cold Päffgen on tap. The atmosphere is loud, fun and authentic. You pay in cash.
Brewery cuisine 2.0 in a prime southern city location with a rustic food concept. High-quality products from Cologne and the surrounding area compensate for the fluctuating kitchen performance of the rotating kitchen brigade.
Mark Junglas, ex-cult butcher's shop owner, has turned Adenauer's former favorite pub inside out. On the menu? Good brewery cuisine. Homemade Flönz, venison sausage from our own hunt.
Often labeled as a tourist trap, the Altstadtschenke turns out to be a cosy and rustic living room substitute with almost museum-like furnishings. The food is one thing above all: hearty and rustic.
