Düsseldorf has one of the largest Japanese communities outside of mainland Japan, and Naniwa is a standout in the heart of the Japanese Quarter. Lines can stretch down the block, but service is quick and worth the wait for traditional soup and noodle dishes.
This legendary brewery serves classic German comfort food along with its excellent namesake beers (both Altbier and Pils) in typically rustic dining rooms, as well as out in the spacious glassed-in winter garden.
Cologne's main pedestrian shopping street is practical but uninspiring—some even say ugly. This café is an airy, artsy oasis with outdoor terrace seating and a view of the 14th-century Antonite church. The food is international with an emphasis on the Mediterranean, and includes many organic, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The selection of cakes is divinely German, and there's a jazz dinner every Saturday. Three enormous, delicate chandeliers, made entirely of plastic waste, provide lighting.
Da Franco's location on a promenade right on the Rhine and the sunny outdoor terrace is a big plus for this Italian trattoria, serving a range of thin-crust pizzas and salads along with a varied menu of pasta and classic meat dishes: crab meat ravioli with a sage cream sauce, veal stuffed with Parma ham and mozzarella, squid-ink tortellini topped with roasted salmon, lake perch sautéed with anchovies and white wine sauce. Be sure to factor in some extra time to compensate for the distracted wait staff.
For over 80 years, this rustic corner tavern, in the shadow of the lovely St. Gereon's church, has served solid German comfort food to a mostly local crowd. There’s fresh Kölsch on tap, and the service is remarkably friendly.
The Bastian family (also owners of the vineyard Insel Heyles'en Werth, on the island opposite Bacharach) runs this cozy tavern in a half-timber house dating from 1421. The "wine carousel" is a great way to sample a full range of wine flavors and styles (15 wines) alongside light snacks that include delicious Wildsülze (game in aspic), with potato salad, sausages, and cheese.
You'll find a roomful of locals at this welcoming Lebanese restaurant located in the city center just a few minutes walk from the river. Besides an extensive menu of delicious, freshly prepared Lebanese classics—small plates of authentic salads like tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, and fattoush, plenty of grilled meats and veggies, and some sinfully rich pastries served with traditional Lebanese coffee—the cozy atmosphere, personal service, and secluded garden make this an excellent choice for a well-priced lunch or dinner.
