Meet & Eat Cologne
Food heaven every Thursday
Lea from Cologne
Meet and Eat is my favorite after-work spot in Cologne. Why? It's full of chatting and laughing people, great wine and delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere... That is just what you need after a stressful day of work.
The best part is: the market is held every week. So you have the chance to try the food from all the food trucks: churros, burgers, steaks, tacos or dumplings... There's food from all over the world sold here, so there is something for everyone.
But it's not just a street food festival. It's also a farmer's market where you can buy high-quality local food. Here you can get fresh meat, homemade pasta, cheese or fresh bread for taking it home. A perfect mix of street food and delicacies.
Especially in spring and summer, it's a great place to meet your friends, have a glass of wine and just enjoy.

Should I stay or should I go

Pinocchio
Cheap pizza in the city center
"Pinocchio" in the centre of Cologne isn't just another pizza place with rubbish food. It's friendly, cheap and great quality -- and the river's close!
