Mai Beck, Cologne, Germany

 This was a great restaurant, our favorite out of a number of really good restaurants on our recent trip to the Rhine region of Germany.  It was our favorite of the one Michelin star restaurants that we ate in, which is definitely saying something, as we had some spectacular meals.
There are two great things about this place, beyond how terrific the food is.  One is that you can order as little or as much as you want, which allows for some who are more self regulating than we are to have a petite meal (if I lived in Cologne, I would eat here all the time, one dish at a time).  The other is that they are not trying for another star--that is our favorite restaurant style.
Pictured are two of the six dishes we had.  The cold smoked salmon in the dish above was melt in your mouth smoke, just delicious, and the cucumbers three different ways, the sunflower butter, and the avocado were all perfect compliments, each bite was perfection, bright and delicious.  The pasta dishes (one of which is on the left) are something the restaurant is famous for, and we were not disappointed in this fresh pea tortellini with a light goat cheese.  All in all, I would go back, and probably eat here twice if I could.
