Dank Augusta

Thanks to Augusta in the Flora Köln - from midday sun to evening light. Delicious in the day, delicious in the evening is the garden restaurant thanks to Augusta in the middle of the botanical garden: chill out after work in the open air, celebrate a birthday with friends or simply end the day in the cozy lounge furniture with a beer. The garden restaurant in the Flora is the perfect place to relax and enjoy.

Thanks to Augusta, there is also a lot to offer from a culinary point of view: from the "garden salad flora" in a glass, to the homemade meatball from the veal to the iconic American cheesecake (of course in the glass) - there is something for every taste at the picnic bar. Wine lovers will find what they are looking for on the Flora Sommelier's wine list. A nice selection of craft beers and non-alcoholic trend drinks complete the offer.

Thanks to the Augusta team, the guests will be happy to make you feel comfortable ... there are hats for the sun and blankets when it gets fresh. In short: Thanks to Augusta, the stuff has become a favorite place!

Opening times every day from 11.30 a.m. to 10 p.m. In October until 6 p.m. Thanks to Augusta is barrier-free.

If the gates of the botanical garden are closed in the evening, access to the garden restaurant is via the parking lot Am Botanischen Garten 1a, 50735 Cologne (Riehl).

The story behind the name Dank Augusta: Augusta, wife of the Prussian emperor Wilhelm I, took over the patronage in 1863 for the construction and maintenance of the Cologne Botanical Garden. One thing was particularly important to the self-confident, liberal-minded empress and queen at the time: the flora should be open to all citizens, regardless of their origin.

What sounds so natural today was a bold, resolute expression of freedom and democracy at the time.

We like that and inspired the name: thanks to Augusta we are here. Not far away in the flora is a bust of Augusta. Some have been saying a little smile about their mouths for some time. We think she would have liked it.
