***5 STAR MUST GO***…read more I've eaten at this restaurant dozens of times, and I've had almost everything on the menu. It never fails to exceed my expectations. I have no clue how the chef and her sister accommodate 60+ guests from such a small kitchen and send out plates of amazing food night after night. This place is amazing, and feels like you're eating in grandma's kitchen. Seating inside and outside, right in the heart of Köln, this is a very cool place.

My husband ordered lamb while my sister ordered pork cutlet... very very delicious, the potatoes were awesome no need to ask for salt or pepper... sauce and herb used were more than enough... highly recommended when you're in Koln, Germany. The Koln beer was even tasty considering I don't drink beer.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 7 Popular restaurant on a busy corner in Cologne, four of us enjoyed a nice meal for early dinner. Not everything was great, but a decent meal overall. It was my second Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) on this trip in Germany and it was even better than the first one. Super crispy and crunchy skin, filled with juicy, tender and flavorful pork meat. Skip the Sauerbraten (beef roast). It was dry and disgusting. Hash browns as a side was delicious though. Good place to people watch, though service is spotty. If you don't mind that, chill with a nice glass of Kölsch (Cologne's beer of choice) and enjoy the view and festive atmosphere.

Countless times workers walked right past us ignoring us. We tried to get their attention to get a table to eat yet none of them wanted to. We waiting, standing there looking directly at the workers for approx 20 mins before we gave up and left to go somewhere else that would actually have us. Could definitely do a better job making sure all customers are attended to.

This restaurant made me feel like Bavaria was in the center of Cologne…read more A modern take on rustic German tavern decor. The interior is just lovely. Large outdoor patio area. We chose to eat outside. We opted for fondue and what a perfect choice it was. Bread and veg for dipping. We also got a soft pretzel for fondue dipping. Drank Spaten beer, a refreshing, classic Bavarian beer. The fondue was some of the best cheese ever. It was Gruyère, Appenzeller (a firm Swiss), and Emmentaler (semi-hard yellow cheese) with cherry brandy and white wine. Served with potatoes, bread, and as mentioned above other veg. This centre city establishment is a must-eat.

Walking from our hotel in Old Town we wanted a restaurant in Cologne for locals and we found it at…read moreDomibiikaner. The bar was full of regulars and while many diners may have been tourists, it was a local experience. Our waiter was a bit frazzled working by himself on a Friday night but our beers came quickly, he explained the menu to us, and brought the food relatively fast. They were out of some of the menu items but the specials on menu are their ghoulash items with meat from the nearby forest (deer, cervine, beef). And we were very happy with our ghoulash and spatzel.

The Brauerei zum Schiffchen is a real institution in the Düsseldorf food scene, with a long…read morehistory. It's located in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town) and its decor reflects its glorious and long past. Over the years, it has become more and more touristic but it's also still a place loved by many locals. They serve a lot of local beers, in particular the bitter, dark Alt which is typical from this area. Their menu offers a lot of dishes from the regional German cuisine including the renowned Rheinischer Sauerbraten (roast beef), Mettfleish (raw pork) and a lot of various wurst (sausages). The service is fast and prices are fair. It can get quite packed so it's always good to book well in advance.

Our last meal in Düsseldorf was at Brauerei zum Schiffchen. They're located in the old part of…read moretown. We dropped in on a Monday (around 12:30pm). The weather was a bit dreary so everyone was sitting inside for once. Our server spoke perfect English but he was a bit rough around the edges. This was the only restaurant we went to where English was already on the menu. The menu consisted of starters & soups, house specialties, fish and dessert. There also was a seasonal sheet and a few daily specials including a business set menu (€15,50). - Alsterwasser (€3,20 for 0.30L) - light beer with lemonade. This was a mix of pilsner with a splash of lemonade. - Himmel & ähd (€12,50) - blutwurst (fried black pudding), mashed potatoes, fried onions and stewed apples. Not sure why but their fried onions don't come hot nor crispy. The blutwurst was interesting; lightly crisped and the filling was tasty. Mashed potatoes were buttery. - Metzgers leibgericht (€14,50) - three sausages (mettwurst, thüringer art bratwurst and krakauer) with sauerkraut and homemade mashed potatoes. Mettwurst was a thicker, meatier, minced pork sausage. Krakauer (similar to a a Polish kielbasa) was slightly salty but had a good bite. Bratwurst was our favourite of the bunch; easily the tastiest and most flavourful. Sauerkraut was hot and well balanced in acidity. Mashed potatoes were the same (wish they would let you choose other sides to try). An enjoyable last German meal (and for once, not too heavy). 3.5 stars.
