Austrian and Viennese cooking surfaces in Cologne mostly through coffee houses and a handful of gasthaus kitchens. Cafe Reichard, by the cathedral on Unter Fettenhennen in the Altstadt, is the classic Viennese-style coffee-and-cake stop, while Essers Gasthaus on Ottostrasse in Ehrenfeld carries the savoury Austrian table. Together they cover the sweet and the substantial ends of the tradition.
