Bonn

Bakeries

Germany is famous for its bread. There are bakeries all over the city where you can buy different kinds of bread rolls Brötchen starting from 30 Cent the wholesome ones with grains are 50 Cent or more, sandwiches belegte Brötchen for 1,50 € and pastries and cakes. Backwerk on Poststraße is especially cheap, a very delicious one is Schell on the corner of Stockenstraße/Am Hof or at Bertha von Suttner Platz. It is still family-run and has only 5 shops in Bonn try the chocolate buns, Schokobrötchen. Kamps and Lubig, however, are also quite good.

The official student canteen offers several dishes, Essen 1 on the second floor is vegetarian. The food is not gourmet but okay for a canteen. The salad bar on the 3rd floor is quite good. Mensa is also open for non-students who pay a higher price about 5 € for Essen 1, but they do not always ask for your student identification if you look young.

Mandu

Small Korean snack bar, they offer Mandus, rolls, kimchi, glass noodles, cheap, friendly and very good.

Bonn(e) Baguette

freshly made and oven baked baguette sandwiches, very delicious. The shop is tiny and hot, so better chose take away. Often very crowded during lunchtime.

Healthy snacks: Bagels of course, plain or with toppings, salads, juices, muffins, brownies, good coffee. They have a nice quiet terrace you would not expect in the city centre.

Orient-Express

A visit to Germany would not be complete without a taste of the new national dish Döner. Orient Express makes good ones, although you might get them cheaper elsewhere but not much. Their Falafel Sandwich vegetarian is also great.

La Piccola

Traditional and rustic Italian restaurant with very small tables and pictures of opera singers on the walls. Pizza, pasta and salads.

fancy restaurant for people mainly in their 30s and 40s. A good choice if you are not on a tight budget and if you like European food with a touch Italian. Dishes start from 12 € without drinks. Brunch on Sundays.

Very good Japanese restaurant, besides very fresh sushi they also offer soups, curries, and salads.

Completely vegetarian, buffet-style, vegan meals are marked with a green dot. Quite expensive but really good, try the soups for €2!

Delicious Thai dishes, some of them very spicy, in a beautifully decorated setting. They also offer a very good cocktail selection although rather expensive, but be careful - some of them can really knock you out.

A very nice, family-run and delicious Italian restaurant in the heart of Bonn, where you get a selection of the finest wines and meals of the region of Piedmont. Just that you are not disappointed: although Italian, they don't have Pizza.

Mogul

Best Indian restaurant in Bonn, although the restaurant makes the impression of a carefully redecorated garage the food is really good and the owners are friendly. It is also cheaper than other Indian restaurants.

Oberkassel is a bit outside of the city centre, but Karawane is worth the effort. It is basically an "All you can eat" but not a buffet consisting of 10 dishes from the Mediterranian and Middle East region. The dishes change every week see their website, you can order a vegetarian selection without surcharge or additional dishes like lamb. Absolutely delicious, but you might fall into a food coma. The atmosphere is nice and the service friendly. It is often crowded, so better call for a reservation.

Local Bierhaus that brews its own beer. Food includes staples such as schnitzel with fries, steaks and other hearty fare.

Excellent German food and good beer in a nice pub. Beer garden in summer. Try the Jägerschnitzel!
