"Cologne's chic gourmet set love meeting at the Trattoria Enoteca for lively lunches, chatty catch-ups and romantic tables for two. Tucked away inside the stately Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg, the restaurant and its moreish Mediterranean menu attracts a well-coiffed international crowd and businessy types. Relaxed and homely – the interior at Trattoria Enoteca has lemon walls hand-painted with vines, ruby red curtains and potted palms, and the hearty Italian-led menu includes favourites such as the hand-tapped beef carpaccio with spinach salad, citrus olive oil, old balsamic and Parmesan cheese; the Amalfi lemon risotto; and the ragoût of organic lamb shoulder with egg, Parmesan and homemade oricchette noodles.

"German gastronauts are well aquainted with the interior of Vendôme, the famously 3-Michelin-starred restaurant located inside the Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg in Cologne. The restaurant itself look like a rather well kept Prada store, understated and chic with splashings of sage green and discreet ruby red, and the glossy gourmet crowd are enamoured with the acclaimed menu created by super-chef Joachim Wissler. Star dishes include the calf's head in a parsley-horseradish vinaigrette wild celery and aioli of capers; the grilled saddle of lamb from Müritz with green olives in lamb tea and ricotta gnocchi; and the Manjari chocolate fondant with frozen blackberry foam. Vendôme boasts a 900+ wine list. "
