"%focuses%" Street Food Restaurants in North Rhine-Westphalia
Decorated with a bathtub full of squeaky ducks, this experience restaurant in Flingern specialises - as the name suggests - in Peking duck with crispy skin and variously filled dumplings in bright colours. The dishes are designed to be shared. It's great fun!
Size matters? Then you have to try the generously packed kebab pockets and lahmacun - with veal! Quantity and quality go hand in hand here: plenty of juicy meat, lots of crunchy salad, tzatziki, cocktail and hot sauce and fresh lemon juice as a finish.
Cologne's best-kept kebab secret is hidden in Körnerstraße: every Wednesday, Atila Tosun personally fires up the spit in his small, iconic Ehrenfeld market hall for what is perhaps the most honest and delicious kebab in the cathedral city.
There really is no shortage of pizzerias in the cathedral city, but the Neapolitan pizzas here taste exceptionally good. Flavourful dough and super fresh, aromatic ingredients ensure pure bliss. What pizzaiolo Raffaele does differently remains his secret.
Cool takoyaki snack bar in Düsseldorf's "Little Tokyo". Originally from Osaka, the octopus balls are the epitome of the Japanese snack and are prepared in the typical frying iron. Crispy, hot and delicious! Mayo sauce and mentaiko mayonnaise are a hit.
Chic yet uncomplicated restaurant with a stylish dining room and large terrace. Not only do the tapas taste great, you also have to try the various filled croquetas, cocas - Mallorcan pizza - and the pa amb oli, the Spanish answer to bruschetta.
Serious burgers with fantastic brioche buns, radically tasty sauces and sensational meat quality. The fries are deep-fried in beef fat. You have to stand at lunchtime. When the bakery is closed, there are a few seats available. Extra points for the great staff.
Pizza with a difference: the stylish Ehrenfeld bakery with the striking neon sign bakes crispy sourdough pizzas and rectangular Detroit-style tray bakes. The dough, dough method and baking style are a real display changer. Favourite: Double pepperoni with chilli honey. Really hot!
Asian fusion eatery with colourful bowl dishes and sushi platters. The bowls for individual assembly - a base of rice, courgette noodles or salad mix, various crunchy vegetables, high-quality protein and sauces - are fresh, varied and well thought out.
Burger shops come, burger shops go - and some stay. This is ensured by seamless quality control. The burgers are ground fresh several times a day and all burgers and salads can be vegetarian or veganised. Low-carb version? Gluten-free bun? No problem.
Aesthetic Japanese fusion burger spot with hype factor. It's not just the service, freshness and flavour that stand out, but also the inclusive concept. The creations based on fluffy, lightly baked buns are available with meat, shrimp, tofu, vegetarian, vegan and halal options.
Focus on the essentials - flavour! - is the motto of this burger fry-up from Izmir. The burgers are small works of art made from carbohydrates, proteins, fat and happiness. The highlight among many highlights is the "Molendini Prime" studded with fried onions and beef bacon.

Burgers, fries, coffee: this trio can save many a day. It's a good thing that all three staple foods are prepared here with tangible love and a sense for the essentials. Super crispy garlic fries. The Oklahoma onion smash burger tastes seriously good.
A Rievkooche rarely comes alone. The garlic dip in particular makes you want more, and each additional dip - apple sauce, herb quark or chilli sauce - costs a mere 50 cents. But the star of the show from this small stall in the historic city centre is the deliciously crispy pancakes, which are super soft on the inside.
Japan bar for Japan fans and anyone who wants to become one. The cuisine is spicy, hearty and really good. With omurice with fried oysters, karaage platter or takoyaki, you'll forget that you have to eat standing up. The deep-fried dough balls with octopus are a must.
The sweet food truck in the city centre has a heart for vegans and serves bratwurst and currywurst in both delicious, classic and phenomenally good plant-based versions. The crispy arancini, cannoli and cornetti are also not to be missed.
A pop-up becomes a restaurant! After a successful interim year in the Bredouille wine bar, the Herbig-Krings duo have taken the plunge and have opened their own restaurant. Since April, their delicious rib sandwiches have been served in the city centre of Cologne. Pairings with select natural wines.
Family-run street food stall and deli on the lively Carlsplatz in the heart of the city. The freshest fish has been sold and prepared here since 1999. The best seller is still the fish soup. The various fish sandwiches are very tasty and available to take away.
Hummus for the advanced. The chickpea puree flavoured with olive oil and tahini is served here with a silky-smooth texture and outstanding combinations. Shakshuka is served on Saturdays from 12 noon to 5 pm, and a "hummus of the week" provides fun, enjoyment and excitement.
