In the Cologne “Henne” the guest can look forward to the interplay of different traditions. Because there they are combined in such a way that form and taste are convincing.
Dhat meanwhile all kinds of cuisines from around the world have left their mark on the culinary offerings of our cities, we have gotten used to it. However, it seems necessary to pay more attention to the quality. A “colorful” offer may be very entertaining, but it’s only really fun if it’s done well. In search of positive examples, the guest eats today in the “Henne” in Cologne’s Apostelviertel. The first little thing comes from the “Sharing is caring” department and consists of goulash-style chickpea croquettes with salted lemon yoghurt (9.50 euros). The crispy croquettes with the goulash seasoning and the contrasting fresh yoghurt don’t taste bad. Nevertheless, one has to ask whether, after tons of chickpea preparations on every corner, it isn’t time
Another appetizer, “Bar mussel – marinated fennel, tarragon, crustacean lacquer” (12 euros) is completely different and more inspired by high-end cuisine. The fennel, a tarragon note and a useful “crustacean varnish” (a kind of very strong reduction) create a light, good taste.
