You experience food from the region as something special and, above all, the products of the art of brewing are unique. In addition to guaranteed freshness and taste, the production method plays a particularly important role in this city. The traditional specialties stand for their homeland: “Flönz” is world-famous in the cathedral city on the Rhine. Many other specialties are also the best ambassadors for their origins in this wonderful city on the Rhine. Everything here revolves around the sausage. The people of Cologne love meat, especially the ham and of course the pumpernickel. Cologne residents also appreciate their sauerbraten and mussels in white wine (although this dish does not necessarily come from the cathedral city). The passion for beer is also world-famous and a Kölsch should never be missed as a visitor.
Beer is available to drink as well as to spoon
In addition to meat, beer is one of the staple foods in the cathedral city. You can’t avoid Kölsch on a tour of the city. No other city has so many breweries. If you want to get to know them, you can book a Kölsch tour and explore the liquid bread glass by glass. The cathedral city has many good traditional pubs, pubs and home-style restaurants that serve the local cuisine. Weekly guests expect generous portions because they don’t cut down on size. Examples are giant schnitzel or sauerbraten made from horse meat, sour kidneys and much more. Surprises are inevitable.
Anyone visiting Germany should get to know Cologne’s food culture
