Lovely flavour combinations – not fully satisfactory though: Restaurant Pure White (24. June 2016)
The Pure White was recommended to me and I must admit it was a good recommendation. I started with the very tempting “Amore Mio – goose liver prepared on Josper’s grill, mango sorbet, sherry, mango tagliatelle” (EUR 19.50). The goose liver was basically melting in my mouth like butter and the combination of the fattiness […]

Great view from the Regency Club @ Hyatt Regency Cologne (24. June 2016)
What is actually quite amazing about the Executive Lounge in the Hyatt Regency is the view you have onto the “Cathedral of Cologne”. Especially when the weather is nice, it is kind of perfect to sit at one of the tables to enjoy the view. The selection of dishes you get to pick from for […]

25. May 2014: Restaurant Consilium
It is generally difficult to find a good place for brunch and it is even more difficult to find a good brunch place for this price. For only EUR 22.00 you get to enjoy a wide variety of different dishes which are absolutely good in quality. Only beverages which are not to be found at […]

24. May 2014: Biergarten am Aachener Weiher
The Restaurant Biergarten am Aachener Weiher is absolutely lovely – very simple indeed but very lovely! You get to sit close to the little lake and have, therefore, a marvelous view. In addition to that you get to watch the people passing by but not only that, there is also somehow a place where random […]

24. – 25. May 2014: Restaurant Conrad @ Hilton Cologne
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant Conrad in the Hilton Cologne is quite okay – you get to pick from cold cuts, eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, yoghurt, and various other treats which are generally good. Only the omelette station is a bit of a disappointment as they make it way too oily so the thing […]

23. May 2014: Restaurant Haus Schwan
The Restaurant Haus Schwan is a simple but typical Cologne style restaurant – where you get your Kölsch and can enjoy a nice evening in a simple atmosphere with surprisingly friendly service. The beer is cheap (approx. EUR 2.50 per Kölsch), tasty and the whole place just is a good place to have a couple […]

6. September 2013: MS RheinCargo
To be entirely fair, I guess this experience is only limitedly replicable but then again it actually is – this evening I figured dining a different way would be a nice thing to do so we booked a cruiseship which obviously also served food – we went for the Mediteranean buffet (EUR 36.30 per person).
