La Bodega
It's always fiesta time at this buzzy cantina with its cosy vaulted cellar and romantic courtyard. Gobble up the jamón (smoked ham), stuffed peppers, nut-encrusted goat cheese and other authentic tapas or go the whole nine yards and order a heaping paella. Locals invade for the Monday special: a pound of fat shrimp with four dipping sauces for €15.

Brauhaus Peters
This relative youngster draws a somewhat less raucous crowd knocking back their Kölsch in a web of highly individualistic nooks, including a room lidded by a kaleidoscopic stained-glass ceiling. On Tuesday, insiders invade for the potato pancakes, freshly made and topped with anything from apple compote to smoked salmon.

Bagutta
Leagues of local loyalists keep this knick-knack-filled charmer hopping. Do as they do: ignore the menu and just ask chef Stefan Bierl to put together a 'surprise menu'. With potential items including saffron risotto with scallops or guinea fowl with kohlrabi and chorizo stir-fry, you won't be disappointed.

Osman 30
The setting alone of this made-to-impress restaurant on the 30th floor of the KölnTurm is spectacular, but fortunately the Mediterranean food can hold its own with the views. Cap your meal with libations served in the wine salon with its stylish white leather armchairs. Reservations essential.

Fischermann's
This perennial favourite has minimalist décor, all the better so as not to distract you from the delicious crossover cuisine mixing German, Mediterranean and Asian flavours. Regulars often treat the place as a launch pad for a night on the razzle. Nice terrace in summer.

Metzgerei & Salon Schmitz
No matter whether you prefer sidling up to the long bar or grabbing an ultra-comfy sofa in the retro lounge, Schmitz is a perfect pit stop for relaxed chats over coffee or cocktails. If hunger strikes, pop next door to Metzgerei Schmitz, a deli in a former butcher's shop.

Graugans
Dinner here is going to make a serious dent in your wallet, but fans of 'wok-meets-Western' cuisine will probably like what's on the plates at this elegant restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Romantic views of the Dom and the Altstadt skyline and superb wine list.

Feynsinn
What used to be a small cafe famous for its eccentric glass-chard chandelier has morphed into a well-respected restaurant where organic ingredients are woven into sharp-flavoured dishes. Owners have even started to raise their own pigs and cattle!

Alcazar
This is the kind of place that never goes out of fashion, thanks to its winning combination of freshly prepared international dishes, unpretentious ambience and chirpy service. No food service in the afternoon.

Café Fleur
This small and romantic café with its chandeliers and large gilded mirrors is a great place to linger over breakfast, cakes and light dishes or simply while away the time pouring over the free periodicals.
