The German group, centered on the three major cities of Cologne, Frankfurt, and Munich, ran out to various attractions. During the few days in Cologne, the weather was not good. Wendy first took us to go shopping in the city and then strolled around the cathedral and proposed to Cologne. The famous gourmet restaurant Frueh(Früh) am Dom has lunch. There are delicious pork knuckles, German sausages and beer. It is very exciting!
Transportation: How to get to Früh am Dom gourmet restaurant?
For five days in Cologne, we stayed in an apartment-style hotel on Hohe Srasse Road (in fact, it should be a homestay). The location was unexpectedly convenient. Walking all the way north, we entered the famous shopping street in Cologne. Clothing brands and kitchenware stores, and there is also a Schilder Srasse shopping street nearby, all within walking distance.If you also live on this road, basically the life function is very convenient. It is highly recommended. You can reach the Früh am Dom restaurant within a 700-minute walk of about 10 meters. (The premise is that you don’t stop shopping...)
If you are coming from the other end of Cologne Station or the Cathedral, it will be a 750-minute walk of about 10 meters.It depends on how the itinerary is planned and arranged. You can go shopping, eat and then go to the church, or the order can be just the opposite.

Früh am Dom gourmet restaurant brief introduction and dining experience.
Opened in 1904 as a brewery and restaurant, it has become a well-known century-old shop in Cologne. The shop attracts diners from all walks of life with boiled pork knuckles, traditional German pork knuckles and sausages. .There are seats inside and outside the shop. When we arrived, it was a holiday. There were already full seats. We had to quickly choose an outdoor space to sit in. We were afraid that we would have to wait a while before we could eat.The restaurant is remodeled by a brewery. Cologne's special beer barrels and waiters on call have become one of the characteristics of this restaurant.
Because the methods of making pork knuckles in Germany are similar in different places, but there is a difference in taste with Asians. I do often see some travel website netizens saying that the pork knuckles in this shop are good, or they prefer the taste of boiled pork knuckles. Like Wendy, it tastes better with sauerkraut and honey mustard.In addition, I also like to eat potato wedges cooked by Früh am Dom. It is super delicious with a little bit of spiciness and onions!The way of drinking beer in Cologne and Munich is very different. At Oktoberfest, a full 1 liter of beer is served directly, but Kölsch uses a 0.2 liter slender glass. When I checked the information, I learned that it’s unique because of the oversized glass. The taste is lost, so the small mouth of the bottle can keep every bite fresh.
No wonder... the people around you order a cup to drink slowly, chat slowly, and continue to order a cup after drinking. It's a bit like being at a coffee shop.
▲ Choose the shop’s signature set meal "Brauhausplatte". This is a four-person set meal that includes pork knuckles, potato wedges, French fries, German sausages, etc.
▲ The waiter will carry this beer blue to help the guests make up the beer at any time.
▲ Prost! (German: Cheers)
▲ German pork knuckles will be fried and crispy, and the skin of the pig knuckles is quite thick. The elders may not be used to it. It is recommended to choose the following boiled water.
▲ The potato wedges are stir-fried with onion and bacon, and it tastes good.
▲ Fortunately, this trip is generous with Meiko, otherwise we will definitely not finish eating.
▲ On holidays, the old Germans ran outdoors to meet up with three or five friends. The point is...no one is sliding their phones, they are all chatting.
▲ The total amount of the set meal, four glasses of beer, a glass of Coke and taxes.
