6. September 2013: Restaurant Konrad @Hilton Cologne
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant Konrad in the Hilton Cologne is pretty regular as it usually is in a Hilton. All necessary ingredients for a full-fledged breakfast are there – nothing special or outstanding though like e.g. a steak station or the like. The service is quick and friendly, the place itself is actually […]

5. September 2013: Restaurant Gasthaus Früh
One disclaimer ahead – this is not what you usually get in the Gasthaus Früh as it was in the framework of an event. But anyway, the buffet they had offered – the “Original Kölsch” buffet (EUR 29.00 per person) was quite nice … but see for yourself … The atmosphere in the actual brewery […]

22. July 2012: Restaurant Ständige Vertretung
If eating out averagely and having very slow service is what you are looking for then you should go to the Restaurant Ständige Vertretung. The “Large mixed salad platter with raw vegetables and leafy salad, served with roasted slices of Angus beef” (EUR 12.80) was very average. The salad was absolutely nothing special, the meat […]

22. July 2012: Restaurant Le Merou @Le Méridien Dom Hotel
The breakfast at the Restaurant Le Merou is definitely one of the better breakfasts I have had. The selection is large, the quality of the food is very good – only the OMELETT station is not that amazing. Everything else, absolutely great! There are potatoes, bacon, sausages … … a selection of fish … … […]

21. July 2012: Bar Die Wohngemeinschaft
The “local residential community” is furnished like a local residential community – and the audience is about the people you would expect to live in suche a place. Funny idea though for a bar. The service is quick, the beer prices are fair and the vodka lemon tastes good. Overall, a funny place and great […]

21. July 2012: M20 Bar
The M20 bar is definitely an alternative bar – very small, with a DJ, limitedly friendly personnel and people smoking inside. It is fun and you get to see quite a bunch of funny people. Not my home turf though. All said … Rating: Atmosphere: Service: Drinks: n.a. Price-Performance Ratio: Overall Rating: Contact Details: M20 […]

21. July 2012: Brauerei Päffgen
Original, traditional, very crowded, darkish, people from Cologne – fair beer prices. That is all to say about the Brauerei Päffgen. Rating: Atmosphere: Service: Drinks: n.a.

21. July 2012: Restaurant Wackes Weinstube
Authentic and original – that is what the Restaurant Wackes Weinstube is. The place is named after its owner and he makes clear to everyone that he is the owner. But more about that later. We decided to have the menu with four courses (EUR 54.00 per person). As an Amuse Bouche, we got a […]
