Restaurant Recommendation

[ThomasSoerensen]

I take it there is no German equivalent of the oxo tower that you could take her up?

Der Ubersturmbahnfuererturm?

[darmstadt]

Tonight I will go to my nice Asian place in Bonn (which is only tram ride form Köln*) where I'll have a plate of noodles, vegetables and meat along with a drink for only €6 and it actually tastes pretty good. Tomorrow evening Frau darmstadt is coming up so we'll eat slightly more expensive and then get rat-arsed (probably.)

(* - must try the tram in Dusseldorf, you can get coffee on one of them)

The only place in Cologne I'm familiar with (not having been there) is that gigantic strip joint/knock shop. I'm not sure how appropriate that will be. Although I do understand once you pay your entry the drinks are free...

Why not take her to the chocolate museum in Cologne

I was there on Sunday and it was great - they've set up part of a real chocolate factory, and it's really interesting to see the stuff being made.

They have a cafe selling the stuff.

But if you want proper stuff then just walk along the waterfront (the rive Rhine) north, and there are loads of restaurants on the left. I ate at a steak place which was OK - the meat came on a small sword which was cool.

Well there are the Maggi shops where you can eat...

So you are going go take her up the MaggiTower.

Good one. It even fits with a conservative outlook on life.

And maybe I can suggest it as a slogan to the marketing people at clientco.
