Zur Tant

Zur Tant is a long-established fine‑dining restaurant in Köln‑Porz on the Rhine with a history stretching back more than 150 years. Franz Hütter developed the house into a gourmet destination from 1976; in 2014 ownership passed to Thomas Lösche and Marlen Mager, who retained the longtime team as "Team Lösche." The house emphasizes high‑quality regional ingredients bought in small quantities to guarantee top freshness. Recognitions include a Michelin star (Guide Michelin 2025), HENRIS and Varta guide awards and longstanding regional acclaim. The venue upholds continuity of staff and tradition and a philosophy of harmony between food and matching beverages. The dining room is intentionally simple in white and grey tones, offering a restrained, elegant ambience and a view of the Rhine from every seat. The kitchen blends French and Mediterranean influences into a light, modern style rooted in classic and market‑driven cooking; menus change seasonally and daily to reflect regional sourcing and the chef’s market‑led approach. Thomas Lösche is Head Chef. Specialties include Berkshire pork belly with white cabbage; smoked salmon trout; squid with lentils and sweet potato (batate); country chicken (Landhuhn) with Albufera sauce; and semolina dumpling with rhubarb and yeast ice cream.
