So, how about your Cologne dining suggestions?
Agreed, I had my first encounter with Düdo at the age of 18 and I am still a stranger in this city (and feel very much at home in London).
Dining in Cologne? If you want the real top level restaurants, Le Moissonnier would be one of my choices. Alfredo is a choice for about 30 years now, La Vision in the Wasserturm Hotel could be mentioned. For sure the better Cologne restaurants are in Bergisch Gladbach, the Vendome and the Dieter Müller. For my every day taste there are quite a few could down to earth places (Thai, Japanese, Turkish, Russian) in the city. And the Früh is always a place to go.
