Long before there was cross-cultural cuisine or the word cuisine existed (or restaurant guides for that matter), there were places where people from the neighborhood met after work, had family dinners, met future husbands and wives, exchanged gossip and argued politics. This is where life took place. Some of these public living rooms are still in existence and the Kornbrenner is one of them. This is a traditional Cologne restaurant in the best sense. It has it all that you´d expect; the typical wooden tables, the ornaments on the walls, the pancakes, black pudding and beans. The beer is, of course, from one of the best and oldest breweries in Cologne. The rather small place starts filling up at around six o' clock and keeps bustling until midnight. Lydia, the owner, who keeps announcing her retirement each year for the past five years, serves a mixture of local cooking and traditional German cusine - not especially adventurous but appetizing both in terms of taste and aestetics. There are serveral roast beef and steak dishes, little snacks to accompany the beer such as the excellent bacon pancakes for and at least three vegetarien dishes. And of course, the local specialty: Reibekuchen (basically potato pancakes, served with apple sauce and pumpernickel) - but only in the winter and only on Wednesdays. Top tip: Never trust a so-called traditional restaurant that serves Reibekuchen in the summer or on more than one day a week - their menu has been created purely for the benifit of tourists.
