Frau Maaß Herr Schlie

Restaurant

👍👍 One of the best places for lunch in Cologne! 🫶 The menu usually changes daily and has a major seasonal influence. You can choose between full meals or order a selection of salads and complement it with a piece of quiche. The baked treats, which taste great even days later, should not be underestima...

Da Mai (Chinesische Küche)

Kiosk & Bistro Hanoi

Bistro

Though small, it has a good selection of snacks. Would come back and try the other offers if I have tim...
