Culinary scavenger hunt

The Culinary Scavenger Hunt leads through Cologne on four dates in 2026 and opens up a view of local places of enjoyment spread across different districts. Within seven hours, you can experience a customized tour of up to twelve establishments - small restaurants, cafés or delicatessens, each of which offers a special culinary treat. A route recommendation provided in advance and an overview of all participating stores make it easier to find your way around.

Participation enables self-determined access to culinary concepts that often emerge beyond the mainstream and reveal regional signatures. Three regular tours and a vegan edition open up different approaches: While the regular pleasure tours put everything on the table in culinary terms, the vegan edition focuses on purely plant-based tastings. Vegetarian and/or alcohol-free alternatives are offered on every Culinary Scavenger Hunt.

Tickets are available in advance and form the basis for an independent exploration tour during which visitors can discover Cologne's culinary delights at their own pace.
