Speaking of the wine bar: The wine selection is impressive! Because wine is also a particular passion of Maximilian Lorenz. His wine cellar is impressive – his favorite wines are available in the wine shop right next door.

We're at lunch, after all. And if you're understandably a bit reserved at this time, just come back in the evening. Although... when Maximilian Lorenz starts raving, you're probably craving a glass of champagne. And six oysters with that?

For your lunch in Cologne, the heinzhermann also offers a wide selection of wines.
