Frequently asked questions

How many places to eat healthy are there in Cologne?

Find It Fit lists at least 438 healthy restaurants and cafés in Cologne, within a directory of 569 places in the city (352 restaurants, 135 cafés and 82 food shops). This guide picks the 15 with the most verified information.

How do you know a place is healthy?

Each place is classified from its menu and from what it says about itself (website and social media): it gets in if its main offer is real food, with plant-based options, not built on ultra-processed food, and with alternatives for specific diets. Places with just "one salad" do not get in.

Do restaurants pay to be on this list?

No. No place pays to appear or for its position. The order comes from how much verified information we have on each one: analysed menu, own description, price worked out from the menu and whether the business has claimed its listing.

When is it updated?

The guide is regenerated every day from the Find It Fit database; the month in the title shows the latest review. Places that close or change their menu drop out or move on their own.

What if I also need to eat gluten-free in Cologne?

There is a separate guide to gluten-free restaurants in Cologne, and in the app you can combine filters (vegan + gluten-free, for example) and see the map.
