Stop for a bite to eat and treat yourself

There are restaurants to suit every taste in the Bergisch region: from quaint and rustic to fine and exclusive, from homely to exotic. 

Restaurants in what are often historical timber-framed and slate houses are worth mentioning in particular. The ambiance radiates a very special cosiness and invites you to linger and socialise. They often serve hearty cuisine typical of the region. 

You will find a very special ambiance in former mills that are now home to restaurants or cafés. Old mill wheels and other relics of times gone by are often integrated into the restaurant with the outdoor area right by a river or stream. 

The exclusive star-rated and award-winning restaurants offer fine dining. Here, you can dine in a fine ambiance where imaginative creations of the highest order are served. 

Many restaurants host culinary events, for example themed evenings or weeks, event menus (e.g. readings, murder mystery dinners), cooking courses or guided tours followed by refreshments.
