EASTER AT JOSEPH’S RESTAURANT

Easter 2026 directly in Cologne am Rhein
Easter on the Rhine – Enjoyable holidays with us

On both Easter days, we warmly invite you to enjoy the holidays with us in a special atmosphere, right on the Rhine. Whether a delightful brunch or a festive dinner – we look forward to welcoming you.

Please note:
The Easter brunch can only be reserved by email.
Please book your Easter dinner conveniently via our online booking portal.

On Easter afternoons, our festive family Easter brunch awaits you: Instead of à la carte, we serve four spring-like courses on tiered stands and in bowls directly at the table – for sharing, trying, and enjoying together. Diverse dishes with seasonal ingredients and a fine Easter touch make the lunch a delightful experience for the whole family. If the weather is nice, we also open our spring terrace with 60 seats – perfect for relaxing hours with a view of the water.

From 6 PM, we will welcome you on both Easter evenings with a special menu offer. Choose between a classic menu with meat and fish components or a vegetarian menu – each available as a three- or four-course option. Additionally, we will be offering a small à la carte selection, and of course, all menu dishes can also be ordered individually.

Look forward to fresh spring cuisine, festive moments of indulgence and relaxed Easter holidays in a special location.

We look forward to your reservation and to celebrating Easter with you!

Easter with a difference – our special Easter dinner

Easter Dinner 2026

After treating you to our special family brunch on both Easter afternoons, we invite you to join us on both Easter evenings from 6 pm for a delightful dining experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

Look forward to a festive Easter menu featuring fresh spring ingredients and seasonal touches. You can choose between a classic menu with a selection of meat and fish dishes, and a lovingly crafted vegetarian menu. Both options can be ordered as either a three- or four-course menu – depending entirely on your personal preference.

As in the afternoon, spring is the focus of our cuisine in the evening too: aromatic herbs, delicate vegetables, fine compositions and dishes that reflect the lightness and freshness of the season.

Of course, in addition to our set menus, we also offer a small, fine selection of starters, main courses, and desserts. This way, guests who prefer not to have a full set menu can also order à la carte at their leisure. And naturally, all dishes from our set menus can also be chosen individually.

Whether as the perfect way to round off an Easter stroll along the Rhine or as a delightful evening with family and friends – we look forward to welcoming you here in the evening too.

We open at 6 pm and accept bookings until 9 pm.
