If you are a stickler for tradition then Restaurant Spitz is the place for you. The menu is as German as it comes, treating diners to the very best regional and seasonal produce. You’ll find both good old Currywurst and roast veal on the menu, and while you’re waiting you can enjoy watching Cologne life pass by.

Under the section “Hungerturm” you’ll find ‘a whole giant pickle’ and ‘a portion of radish with Baltic Sea salt’, while those with a bigger appetite can sink their teeth into the hearty classic “Himmel und Ääd” and fish sticks. What lands on your plate here will bring your dietician to tears.

Feeling hungry? There’s a little something extra: if you are pining for a Wiener Schnitzel, then look no further. It’s on the menu too!
