The Dutch
Crossover Cuisine with Character
In the Cologne district of Junkersdorf, a culinary hotspot has emerged that impresses with creative crossover cuisine and an urban, cosmopolitan vibe: The Dutch. The restaurant blends Western gourmet traditions with Asian finesse, creating a flavor experience that goes far beyond classic fine dining. But The Dutch is more than a restaurant: it is a culinary meeting place, a space for connection and enjoyment. The combination of Brazilian marble, hand‑carved teakwood, and warm earthy tones creates an atmosphere that is both stylish and inviting. Head Chef Joschua Tepner knows how to bring this space to life — through his cooking, his personality, and his passion for craftsmanship.
Joschua Tepner – Culinary Pace‑Setter at The Dutch Cologne
The move from the renowned Hanse Stube at the Excelsior Hotel to the modern, urban concept of The Dutch may have surprised many — but for Joschua, it was a natural step. “Junkersdorf is a fantastic area, and The Dutch is an exciting project,” he says. His dishes are more than culinary compositions — they are statements that show attitude and evoke emotion. Whether at kitchen parties, video shoots, or exclusive events, he stages premium products like veal cheek and veal tenderloin from Peters Farm with individuality and precision. In his kitchen, cooking becomes storytelling — stories of flavor, origin, and craftsmanship. We greatly value our collaboration with Joschua Tepner, which is defined by mutual trust, culinary passion, and a shared commitment to creating exceptional moments of enjoyment.
