Aachen's oldest cafe, has been in business for around 180 years and is still furnished in a style which looks very much like it would have done when it was first opened. It has a large collection of Printe tins and is a fine place to sample this Aachen speciality. Also recommended are the rice pancakes and the regularly changing lunchtime specials.Restaurant Kohlibri
