Bonn

The federal city of Bonn is one of the largest cities in the Cologne Lowland, second only to Cologne in population, with 330,000 residents in 2020. Despite the size, it maintains a cosy, relaxed atmosphere of a small town, featuring mostly low-rise buildings, a charming old town and a lot of greenery. Located only 28 km south of Cologne up the Rhine River, it has a wealth of museums and points of interest.

Karawane

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 9 dishes from the Mediterranean and Middle East region. The dishes change two weeks (see their website), you can order a vegetarian selection or additional dishes such as lamb. The atmosphere is nice and the service friendly. It is often crowded, so better call for a reservation.

Mensa

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.

As of July 2021, the building is being replaced and a temporary canteen has been set up at the University main building.
