Somehow like Vapiano but with a more Middle Eastern cuisine: Restaurant Bona’me Köln-Deutz (7. July 2021)
While I was expecting a regular restaurant, the concept of the Bona’Me is very close to the one of Vapiano – or actually, it’s the same, just for a different cuisine. In any case, once I had digested that this was not a regular restaurant but a go get it yourself place, I went for […]
A nice place for a good piece of meat: Restaurant El Chango (6. July 2021)
The El Chango got a 4.5 rating on Google which is quite high (and also has a rather high number of people who rated the restaurant), so I thought, hell, why not give it a try! Once you’re seated and have placed your order, you get some “bread and spread” which is consisting of some […]
A good quick and relatively healthy lunch option: Restaurant Viet Thai (6. July 2021)
The Viet Thai is a bit hidden in a residential area and not really a place you’d randomly walk by – unless you are really randomly walking around. In any case, it looks like on of these regular Asian kind of we do everything restaurants from the outside and also when you have a look […]
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 […]
