Aachener Weiher
Should I stay or should I go
"Aachener Weiher" in Cologne is charmingly tattered - the atmosphere next to the pond is magical. I recommend taking beer and food there yourself & enjoy!

Meister Gerhard am Rathenauplatz
Tapas and wine
Meister Gerhard am Rathenauplatz is one of my favorite restaurants for the evening in Cologne. Always a good choice for good Mediterranean tapas.
