Lu Cologne – Vietnamese cuisine
Lu is a restaurant that offers dishes from the Vietnamese cuisine. Their portions are big, their creations multifaceted, their ingredients healthy and fresh and it is just about a 5 min. walking distance from my home, so I am a regular customer. Because it is located right next to the Coffee Gang I usually do a little culinary tour. As a first course I take one of their summer rolls which is filled with duck and called "love role", then a second course, which is a delicious hot dish of Lu's daily menu that varies.
As a drink I usually choose one of Lu's extremely tasty, homemade and fresh lemonades with ginger and lime. The last course is usually over at the Coffee Gang, an espresso. If it's Monday or too late, because they're closed I stay at Lu's and like to drink the Vietnamese coffee, which is sweetened with condensed milk that makes a perfect dessert. But whenever you eat lunch during the daily lunch time between noon and 14:00 they will serve you a little dessert (for example mango pudding) for free anyways. But you shouldn't forget to ask for it because sometimes they forget to offer it themselves.
