What's the best food in Cologne?

In Germany, there may be no more cities like Cologne with so many restaurants and cafes, wineries and bars, and fast food and small restaurants are just a few. From the town hall there is a narrow road that runs north along the Rhine. There are plenty of bars, wineries and intricate coffee houses lined up, perfect for a break. In the summer, many visits will also set up a balcony on the Rhine River, where you can have a cold beer and it is unbeatable. It is not surprising that the rich and delicious food is in Cologne. Here, the famous blood sausage, German salted pork bone and mashed potatoes. These three can be said to be more representative of the special dishes in the Cologne diet. There are also many world-famous local dishes in Cologne, such as baby stewed chicken diced meat, onion-roasted goose meat, white wine stewed oxtail, cheese fried egg squid, and crispy bread. If you want to eat authentic, then it is best to come to Cologne.
