Früh am Dom

For classic German cuisine in Cologne, fans head to Früh. Open since 1904, this historic restaurant survived three fires and careful reconstruction has left it a rare reminder of the pre-war city. After exploring the medieval vault, Romanesque arches, cellar bar and flower-filled terrace with gurgling fountain, find a table and tuck into one of Cologne’s classic dishes and Kölsch beer served by waiters at ancient wooden tables. To satisfy a big appetite, order the Schweinshaxe, a huge roast pork knuckle served on the bone. The crispy Schweinshaxe is typically served with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, so it might be best to skip breakfast. Another classic, the Himmel un Ääd (Heaven and Earth), is named for its two main ingredients -- apples (from the sky) and potatoes (from the ground). This classic dish resembles mashed potatoes but has a distinct, apple sweetness. It is most often served with blood sausage.
