La Cuisine Rademacher
Cologne, Germany
⭐1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
This place may not be located in the most attractive area and the city centre is not exactly on the doorstep, but it is very much worth visiting this pleasant restaurant done out in a tasteful modern style. Inside what is a well-kept listed corner building, you will find Marlon Rademacher's dedicated team at work. The chef-patron proposes a sophisticated, modern set menu made from excellent ingredients – also available in a vegetarian version (vegan is possible if ordered when making your reservation). Three days a week, there is a reasonably priced lunch set menu that is equally impressive.
