Maximilian Lorenz’s cuisine

In the kitchen, chef Maximilian Lorenz and chef Enrico Hirschfeld prepare German star gastronomy. Together, the chefs reinterpret familiar German dishes in a modern and playful way. This results in extraordinary combinations and flavours. On the menu you can find aromatic dishes and specialties such as yellowtail mackerel with melon, buttermilk and mild jalapeño; and rooster breast with wild broccoli, mushrooms and fermented blackberries. For dessert, you have many delicious options as well, such as stewed pear with sunflower and cinnamon bark. The extensive wine list offers excellent German wines. At the restaurant’s wine bar next door, Heinzhermann, you can indulge in an international selection of more than 1,500 wines.

Cologne area

Restaurant Maximilian Lorenz is located in the city of Cologne, Germany. This city is filled with cultural sights and historic landmarks: from Roman ruins to modern architecture. One of the country’s most famous religious structures is the Cologne Cathedral, which is just a stone’s throw away from the restaurant. This enormous Gothic cathedral was completed in 1880, after being under construction for over five centuries. Some museums that are worth a visit are the Museum of Applied Art, the Museum Ludwig, and the Chocolate Museum.
