Massimo
My favorite Italian rosticceria
"Massimo" Cologne is an Italian rosticceria that is unique! I love their plain Italian home cooking and the quirky interior and the very welcoming staff...

Krakau
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!

Asien Shop Albertusstraße
Homemade Asian lunch
"Asien Shop Albertusstraße" Cologne brings me back to my childhood with its smells of spices, but the highlight is the Thai and Indonesian lunch table.
