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.

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

Why not take her to the chocolate museum in Cologne

http://www.schokoladenmuseum.de/index_e.html

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.

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...

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)

I just have

the Vendome restaurant looks very impressive.. part of the Schloss Hotel

gf chef is now p!ssed off as she was planning a surprise and going to The Vision restaurant in the Water Tower hotel..

Tag Chef!

The Wasserturm is outstanding - and British-built! Spent 4 nights there exactly a year ago. Would have been the perfect away trip were it not for German pikeys stealing Mrs L_S's handbag in Koeln Zoo while she looked after the baby. The restaurant is very good and the little bar for pre/post prandials is outstanding. However, the dining room is pretty big, with a very high ceiling so it can seem quite quiet, even when most of the tables are occupied.

p.s check the European Michelin guide

EDIT: Im no chef though, i like experimenting in the kitchen but Im sure there are other's on here who are far more talented. I think I was a restaurant critic in previous life.. hmm maybe a plan b idea.

Critic yes, running a restaurant or being Chef - No (been there, done the chef thing, worked the ridiculous hours for no money, went back to my old job)

If only it was that easy to get a critic job.

I was thinking this.

chef and food. I reckon there's a link.

It's obvious innit? A bit like recruitment agency and job.

Chef, why are most of your posts about food

I do think about food A LOT, although to look at me most people must think I have some sort of eating disorder considering im thin but always talk about and am snacking on food..
