Top Gastronomy

Extraordinary restaurants and Michelin-starred cuisine 

Several stars shine over Cologne's kitchens, establishing the city as a prime destination for gourmets and connoisseurs from all over the world alongside numerous other exceptional restaurants. With concepts and ambiances as diverse as the culinary artistry, Cologne's restaurant scene offers a plentiful variety – featuring 1 Michelin star, 2 Michelin stars, Bib Gourmand distinctions, or Gault & Millau toques – or even without official awards but still with outstanding cuisine. 


It becomes exciting when Michelin-starred cuisine meets bistro ambiance, you embark on a culinary world tour in one evening, lose yourself in previously unimagined fusions, experience absolute perfection on all levels of culinary art, or undergo a veritable taste sensation.
