Limani

Limani

Limani, meaning "port" in Greek, lives up to its name with a prime spot right on the Rhine’s banks, offering diners a solid view of the river. The menu focuses on authentic Mediterranean flavours, with grilled fish and a variety of mezedes—small, shareable plates—perfect for trying a bit of everything. Their wine list includes German, Greek, and other imported options to pair with your meal. The large outdoor terrace is a great spot to relax, especially on sunny days.

Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom

Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom

Perched right beside the Cathedral, FRÜH has been serving Kölsch straight from the barrel since 1904. It’s Germany’s second-largest brewery pub, with room for around 1,500 guests spread across a ground-floor restaurant, a series of cosy vaulted cellar rooms and a summer beer garden overlooking the Heinzelmännchenbrunnen. The menu features classic Cologne cooking—schnitzel, sausage, pork knuckle, pea stew, Halve Hahn and more—all made using time-honoured recipes. The servers (known as Köbes or Köbine) are fast and friendly, and keep the Kölsch coming until your coaster hides your glass.

Restaurant Fährhaus

Restaurant Fährhaus

Situated right on the Rhine in Rodenkirchen, Fährhaus sits in a charming half-timbered building and specialises in Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a strong focus on seafood. The menu changes with the seasons, so you’ll often find grilled fish, shellfish, and regional specialities alongside classic meat and vegetarian options. A year-round heated terrace offers lovely river views in any weather.

El Chango

El Chango

Hidden down Bolzengasse in Cologne's Old Town, El Chango is an Argentinian steakhouse where the kitchen’s star is a charcoal grill fired with real Argentine coals. The setting feels rustic and cosy—dark wood, simple tables, just enough Latin flair to hint at something special. Steaks come in portions from around 200 g up to hearty 500 g cuts, plus salads, fish or meat options, and a few desserts if you’ve got room.

Päffgen

Päffgen

Päffgen is the oldest working brewery in Cologne, brewing its Kölsch onsite since 1883 and serving it straight from the casks in its traditional Friesenstraße location by Friesenplatz. Inside, you’ll find wood-panelled rooms—including the glass-roofed “Aula”—plus a chestnut-shaded beer garden that’s open year-round. The menu sticks to regional staples: bratwurst, schnitzel, goulash, beer-marinated pork roast, rye bread with cheese (Halve Hahn), and sides like fried potatoes and pea stew. Locals say Päffgen pours the best Kölsch in town.

Brauhaus zum Prinzen

Brauhaus zum Prinzen

Perched in one of the oldest buildings on Alter Markt—first mentioned in 1213—Brauhaus zum Prinzen still captures a sense of old Cologne, even after being rebuilt post-WWII and reopened by Gaffel in 1987. Inside, it’s all wood panelling and framed photos, with a cosy fireplace room, a raised gallery where they screen 1. FC Köln matches, and a busy bar out front. The menu sticks to local classics like schnitzel, currywurst, and Sauerbraten with dumplings, plus Kölsch-style tapas if you’re just after a snack with your beer. Gaffel Kölsch flows from the tap, and if you’re there when Köln scores in an away game, there’s a good chance someone will hand you a free one.

Amabile

Amabile

Amabile serves French and Mediterranean-inspired dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu changes regularly, mixing local flavours with creative twists. It’s a relaxed spot if you want something a bit refined without the fuss.

Beirut

Beirut

Beirut is a family-run Lebanese eatery tucked away in Cologne’s Old Town. It’s known for its authentic flavours—house-made hummus, falafel, lamb skewers, shawarma, stuffed vine leaves and kibbeh, served in a cosy and colourful setting, with traditional decor and Arabic music in the background.

Maki Maki Sushi Green

Maki Maki Sushi Green

Mashery — Hummus Kitchen

Mashery — Hummus Kitchen

Mashery is all about creamy, creative hummus. The menu is built around hummus bowls with toppings like mushroom, beetroot and feta, or the hummus-of-the-week with aubergine curry—plus falafel, fried halloumi, salads, pita sandwiches and raw, vegan-friendly sweets.

Hans im Glück

Hans im Glück

Hans im Glück is a popular German burger chain that’s become a fixture across Cologne.

Beyond the burgers, there are salads, cocktails and house-made sauces, all in a relaxed, table-service setting.

Acht

Acht is a refined European-style eatery and wine bar, known for its industrial-chic interior, open kitchen, and relaxed courtyard terrace.
