“As Restaurant Manager, my passion extends beyond exceptional dining experiences – I also love discovering special places for our guests. For me, SOBS Cologne is the first address when it comes to exclusive menswear. The selection of designers is impressive – you will find pieces there that you simply cannot discover anywhere else. The so-called bespoke days are a personal highlight: customers have the opportunity to choose from a vast range of fabrics to have suits, jackets, trousers and shirts crafted entirely to their individual wishes.”
