If the inside atmosphere is a bit stuffy, you can go outside and sit on the banks of the Rhein (note: no glasses outside after midnight).

Was heading to a different restaurant when I walked by this new one. The design and the ambiance…read morethat you could see/feel from the outside was so inviting that I changed my plans. And I was not disappointed. As soon as I got in I felt home. What was I missing? Friends as I was by myself. But I quickly engaged with some other patrons and, boum, had a great conversation with them. My understanding is that the restaurant opened in February with a great yet simple concept: the powké bowls (Pokémon fans will love it :-). You chose the base (shushi/coco rice or quinoa, the protein, the fruits and/or vegetables, the sauce, and here you go: you have your lunch or dinner. Something that could remind Cava in the US. I didn't try their cocktails, but they looked good, on the menu and on my neighbors' tables ;-) The Apple crumble was a treat to finish a Monday evening dinner. The staff friendliness and discreet attention was appreciated. You can go there with friends or a date. They have tables in and outside which should be perfect for the summer.

Hinz und Kunz is a nice little bar in the inside Markthalle, have been there few times for cocktails and whiskey. Unlike some other bars, it is not so noisy and people can actually talk to each other without screaming. The cocktails are fantastic (although a bit expensive). I had the gin based, rum based and vodka based ones (of course on different occasions, have normal functioning liver). I was also introduced an Indian whiskey called Amrut, who would have thought that Indians made one of the best whiskey!!
