Brauhaus Scholzen Cologne
That's Cologne
Lea from Cologne
I am not a fan of German food, especially because it's really meat-based. But if you want to try traditional Colognian food, there is just one place to go.
The brewery has exists for over 111 years and is driven by tradition. Of course you get endless Kölsch beer, but in this brewery you can also get really good "kölsch" food.
The most famous is their "Himmel un äd", which is fried black pudding with potato and apple. Also worth trying are the "Reibekuchen", "Rostbraten" or "Halver Hahn".
Be aware that planning on only drinking a few beers won't work. In Cologne breweries it's common to get a new beer after finishing your last. Of course without ordering.
Maybe that's the reason "Haus Scholzen" sometimes turns into a little party full of people of every age, and that's another thing you will notice when you spend time in traditional Cologne spots---everyone is drinking and partying together. It doesn't matter where you are from, how old you are or what you look like. And that's why I love to live here!!!
So if you want to experience the real Cologne, including beer, food and atmosphere, Haus Scholzen is your choice.

Gelateria Köln Süd
High quality Italian ice cream
"Gelateria Köln Süd" has the best ice cream in Cologne. As we have no winter, I've had the chance to try all organic and homemade flavors many, many times.

Südstadion Flea Market
Trash or treasures
"Südstadion flea market" Cologne is the market I like most. It is only once a month, on the first Sunday. But maybe that's what makes it special.

Café Jakubowski
A real gem
"Café Jakubowsk" in Mülheim Cologne is probably the first spot I discovered in the field of gastronomy. I love their all day breakfasts and Sunday roast!

Habibi
Fresh falafel
"Habibi" offers everything you would call Lebanese "street food" today. Here my friends and I first went out for dinner. The falafel and hummus are great!

Lu
Vietnamese cuisine
"Lu" Cologne is a Vietnamese restaurant. Their portions are big, their ingredients healthy and fresh and it's about 5 min. on foot from my home!

Café Rotkehlchen
Feels like home
"Café Rotkehlchen" Cologne is my favorite super cosy cafe where you can easily feel at home and relax from a hectic day of shopping on the Venloer Straße.

Miss Päpki
THE café
"Miss Päpki" in Cologne is definitely a stereotype cafe. It reminds me very strongly of an old royal English tea house, but it's made with lots of passion.
