Street Food Guide Germany 2024: The Best International Street Food in Cologne
Grischa Herbig and Caspar Krings know each other from the world of fine dining. So now sandwiches in the deluxe version. With ossobuco, cheddar and truffle mayo or eggplant, smoked almond and miso mayo. Mondays to Fridays as a pop-up in the Bredouille wine bar.
A real pastrami sandwich comes with cheddar, fried onions, sauerkraut and gherkin. Ribs, pulled beef, buffalo wings, brisket and the array of appetisers, sides and salads are also finger-licking good. Parking and a children's playground are great extras.
Creative Peruvian cuisine in mezze style, to eat alone or to share. In addition to ceviche, Peru's best-known gastronomic export, the menu also includes beef heart skewers, pulpo and manioc fries. And: vegans will also be happy here. The pisco sour is a dream!
Wings specialist Christian Kracht knows the secret of perfect marinades that catapult the crispy fried chicken wings to gastronomic heights. Korean or teriyaki wings - also available in vegan - are served with double-fried chips and Japanese cucumber salad.
A real institution, hidden in a dead corner of Neumarkt, where there has only been one dish on the menu since 1948: Goulash. This is often accompanied by more than just a Kölsch beer. The crispy wheat roll is made in-house.
Attentive mince (meat) fans will know the chilli con carne missionaries Jacques and Lukas from their food truck days. There are now also two stationary chilli parlours where the duo provide hungry residents of the cathedral city with creative adaptations of the brilliant party classic.
If you like naan, you must love naanizza: The Indian version of pizza is topped with a dish of your choice - such as aloo gobi, i.e. cauliflower, potatoes, curry sauce and paneer. Try it out! Of course, it also tastes great in the classic way. And: all dishes can be veganized.
From a quick halloumi sandwich to a sumptuous Anya party platter, everything is possible at this Iraqi snack bar. The falafel is freshly made and the shawarma is marinated for several hours according to their own recipe - you can taste it. There are also vitamin-rich salads.
Would you prefer palak paneer or a chicken tikka masala? The food truck located directly at the Mediapark in front of the lake reliably supplies hungry Cologne residents with authentic Indian curries, deep-fried vegetable balls, mango lassis, sweet potato fries and more.
What would the Belgian Quarter be without Belgian fries, thick-cut from real potatoes and double-fried. It is only right that one of the many Dutch beers should be served with them. Of course, they also go well with bitterballen, kibbeling and frikandel speciaal.
Crispy, thin tarte flambée meets good coffee and genuine Veedels flair. The best place to hang out is on one of the in-house swings, and there is also a street terrace. One small drawback: the toppings are sometimes a little austere.
The snack bar on the "Zülpi" is considered a real bank for really good gyros pita - perhaps even the best in the city. Those who don't mind the outdated stall flair can treat themselves to meat from the spit on a plate - with fresh fries, tzatziki and coleslaw.
