Alte Metzgerei Cologne
Best burgers in Dellbrück
The Alte Metzgerei is a burger and grill restaurant that serves my favourite burgers in Cologne. Their burgers and burritos are made with locally-sourced ingredients and contain a 150g homemade patty made from 100% responsibly-raised beef. Alternatives to beef include pork, chicken and veggie patties (sweet curry or Mediterranean).
My favourite burgers at the Alte Metzgerei are the Hot Piri-Piri (spicy chilli cream and jalapenos), Mushroom (garlic cream and mushrooms) and Smoked Chipotle (chipotle cream and fried onions) with a beef patty. Their coleslaw is also delicious, and they sometimes have daily specials. You can order your burger or burrito by phone and either eat there (it is a rather small restaurant) or take away. You can also order food for your private events (contact them by phone or email for more information).

St. Aposteln – Colourful frescoes in the old town
What struck me the most were the frescoes in the three apse ceilings by Hermann Gottfried. These powerful frescoes bring colors and dynamism to the church.
