***5 STAR MUST GO***…read more I've eaten at this restaurant dozens of times, and I've had almost everything on the menu. It never fails to exceed my expectations. I have no clue how the chef and her sister accommodate 60+ guests from such a small kitchen and send out plates of amazing food night after night. This place is amazing, and feels like you're eating in grandma's kitchen. Seating inside and outside, right in the heart of Köln, this is a very cool place.

We had the Rhineland-style mussels and a wiener schnitzel. I'd recommend the mussels; the schnitzel was not as good as other spots. Beer is served like other spots in Köln, where you need to actively cover your glass if you don't want more. The house beer is a nice Pilsner. The people-watching here is incredible, it's a mix of tourists and old men, who were playing card games the night we visited.

The menu has a great selection and the portion sizes are very generous. Prices are very reasonable too. The atmosphere is that of a casual pub. The service was super friendly and they spoke great English. Our server was super helpful and sweet. Good food comes out and freshly prepared within about 10-15 minutes of ordering. To share with the table, we ordered the Gebackener Camembert. This consisted of fresh deep-fried breaded Camembert cheese accompanied by fresh parsley, jellied cranberries, pumpnickel bread, and butter. This was delicious as the outside was breaded just right and the inside was luscious with soft, gooey cheese. The jellied cranberries and pumpernickel bread accompanied the pungent cheese very well. This only came with one slice of bread, but our server brought out additional bread (not pumpernickel, but even better!). For my plate, I ordered Ochsenbrust which consisted of brisket of beef, with beetroot, and boiled potatoes. This was a hearty meal with a decent amount of tender brisket covered in a creamy horseradish sauce. However the boiled potatoes might have been my favorite part of this meal. I have never had boiled potatoes cooked that well with that amount of flavor. I really enjoyed this meal as it was unique and like nothing I'd had before. Overall, I enjoyed my first authentic German meal here! The ambiance was perfect as it was both inviting and casual. Service was very pleasant and helpful. The food was great, it was just a lot. They do not skimp on portions here! I liked both the starter and entree I ordered as everything was seasoned well with great, unique flavors. If you are in need of some classic German pub food, this is a great spot to check out!

I got the best and first schnitzel of my life and I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a complete game changer. Crispy as you like with that creamy peppercorn gravy poured over top. I had a side of chips that soaked it up perfectly. Could have shed a tear right there at the table. Washed it down with five Kölsch on the spot. Ended up drinking about thirty throughout the day while walking around the city like a legend. Started early and never let off the gas. This meal brought me back to life. I went full animal mode until 3 in the morning and honestly I blame the schnitzel. Right place. Right time. Right pint. Quality food. Prime location. Germany, you've set the bar.

This restaurant made me feel like Bavaria was in the center of Cologne…read more A modern take on rustic German tavern decor. The interior is just lovely. Large outdoor patio area. We chose to eat outside. We opted for fondue and what a perfect choice it was. Bread and veg for dipping. We also got a soft pretzel for fondue dipping. Drank Spaten beer, a refreshing, classic Bavarian beer. The fondue was some of the best cheese ever. It was Gruyère, Appenzeller (a firm Swiss), and Emmentaler (semi-hard yellow cheese) with cherry brandy and white wine. Served with potatoes, bread, and as mentioned above other veg. This centre city establishment is a must-eat.

We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 7 Popular restaurant on a busy corner in Cologne, four of us enjoyed a nice meal for early dinner. Not everything was great, but a decent meal overall. It was my second Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) on this trip in Germany and it was even better than the first one. Super crispy and crunchy skin, filled with juicy, tender and flavorful pork meat. Skip the Sauerbraten (beef roast). It was dry and disgusting. Hash browns as a side was delicious though. Good place to people watch, though service is spotty. If you don't mind that, chill with a nice glass of Kölsch (Cologne's beer of choice) and enjoy the view and festive atmosphere.

Countless times workers walked right past us ignoring us. We tried to get their attention to get a table to eat yet none of them wanted to.

Could definitely do a better job making sure all customers are attended to.
