Meet & Eat Cologne

Meet & Eat Cologne

Food heaven every Thursday

Lea from Cologne

About me Like many others here: I love traveling, meet new people and explore new places and cultures. I built my own small house (my van Fred) and travel with it around Europe. My second favorite hobby is: food. I love eating, cooking and trying new dishes. As I'm mostly vegetarian and care about sustainability, I always try to focus on places with similar values. ...
""Meet & Eat" is my favorite after-work spot in Cologne. I come here every Thursday for the international food trucks, the market & the cheerful people!"

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.

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.

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!

Miss Päpki Cologne

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.
