Chef de Cuisine: Leon Hofmockel

What do Paris and Cologne have in common? At first superficial glance, two cities couldn't be more different. At second glance, however, you recognize the same exciting principle of urban contrasts in both cities: Highlights hide behind inconspicuous façades; if you don't know the address, you won't find them by chance. Both apply to La Société, Cologne's small gourmet restaurant in Kwartier Latäng in the southern part of Cologne, amidst falafel stops, student pubs, or all-you-can-eat venues. After all, you wouldn't search for nor expect gourmet cuisine here that has been awarded a Michelin star and three Gault Millau toques.

Intimate atmosphere with a decidedly Parisian touch

With velvety cushioned benches, small tables, candles, picture walls, gold and mirrors, La Société welcomes you with the intimate atmosphere of a modern Parisian upscale bistro and a warm, lively "Bienvenue." The name stands for the bond with its guests in a sociable and at the same time mindful setting: La Société.

Multi-course changing tasting menu

Since 2021, Leon Hofmockel—former sous-chef of Sven Elverfeld—has taken on the role of head chef and, together with his much-praised team, serves you a seasonally oriented tasting menu full of fine contrasts, culinary surprises, and sophisticated creations. For Hofmockel, high-quality basic products are always crucial. With the right beverage accompaniment, you complete your culinary experience.

By the way: Kwartier Latäng is also good for further surprises if you are open to culinary experiences: Tigermilch with Peruvian cuisine and the Japanese Appare are just around the corner.
