This highly acclaimed and extremely popular restaurant is worth a special trip. In season you will find the best asparagus in all of Germany here. Lamb is the specialty here and among my own favorites are the lamb fillet with kidneys, the lamb medallions with chicken-liver sauce and the lamb chops with bell pepper sauce. Behind a stark white exterior one finds the one of the most distinctive and traditional restaurants in the city. Closed Sunday dinner.

With its rustic interior and stout and hearty food, this 14th century tavern offers traditional German fare in a very pleasant and informal atmosphere. Reservations are not accepted.

Culinary Excursions From Koln Those with a free afternoon or evening will find that the most logical excursion is one that involves a visit to Aachen, the capitol of Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire in the 9th century.
