Fine Food Days Cologne 2025
An evening in the tram shed with the Cologne Carnival committee
Enjoy an exquisite 4-course meal featuring traditional dishes from Cologne and the region, as they once were and still are today. Some typical dishes have been forgotten over time: this evening, you will embark on a culinary journey into the past. JOSEPH'S head chef Sebastian Ostlender and his team interpret and stage these classics in a modern way.
The event begins with a sparkling aperitif and an initial glimpse into the Carnival museum. Between courses, you will dive into the world of Cologne Carnival together with representatives of the festival committee. Unique behind-the-scenes insights included. This evening, the „House of Carnival“, the headquarters of the Festival Committee of Cologne Carnival, will become a „crazy culinary hotspot“. In the carriage hall, you will be initiated into the secrets of float construction, discover previously unknown details of Carnival history, and unravel the great mysteries of the Cologne Dreigestirn (Princes of Carnival).
