What a pleasant surprise! Given the restaurant's location in a bustling tourist area (next to the…read moreCathedral) we weren't expecting much, but our meals completely exceeded expectations. The standout dish was the duck breast. My wife had the chicken with curry sauce, garbanzo beans and pumpkin. The servings are hefty and enough for two people. Also, the food was absolutely delicious! The Dinning room is spacious, modern and decorated with paintings.

They started the table with fresh made bread & homemade butter. We ordered their Schnitzel, Gnocchi, & a Kolsch beer. The schnitzel was tender, moist, & had a golden fry (did not feel greasy at all). The gnocchi was soft, chewy, & fresh with mushrooms & veal. Service was attentive and helpful when trying to figure out what to order. We finished our meal with a berry cobbler which came out hot & with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

**FAVORITE LUNCH SPOT IN COLOGNE**…read more If you feel like having a high-quality and somewhat pricey lunch, DO IT. HERE. AMBIANCE ========== Typical European bistro with strong Italian influences. Clean, upscale. Outdoor seating next to the cobble-stoned streets. FOOD ===== SALAT ZIEGENKÄSE (11,50 euros) OMG, the best goat cheese and salad in the world. Good size cheese rested upon a cracker, oozing on top of a delicious bed of salad. A meal in itself, no need to order a main entreé. RATING: 5/5 STAFF ====== Quick, efficient, and friendly. They went out of their way to explain their menu in English. NOTE ====== Don't take complimentary filtered water for granted in the States. Water is NOT free in Europe. **5 euros for a small bottle of water was steep.** Still dreaming about that goat cheese salad. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for lunch.

Our travels to Morocco had us always craving for Tagine. We were so glad when we came upon Latif's…read morein Cologne. The food was absolutely remarkable! We ordered the Zaalouk for appetizer which comprised of smokey eggplant, garlic and tomatoes, treated as a spread with warm flatbread. For mains, we got Beef Tagine and Lamb with couscous. The flavors had a great spice level and transported me back to Morocco. The worst part of the evening was the service. I ordered an appetizer, knowing that Tagine will take a while. It all came together 35 minutes later. Can't blame it on COVID for mistakes like this. Can't fool us to have dessert since we never saw him come to our table besides giving food. We ended up walking to the cashier to pay. Our server was having his well deserved smoke break. Come here, eat the food but don't come hangry!

We ordered a beautiful falafel platter and the falafel sandwich and both were excellent.

At any rate, I highly recommended this small, but delicious restaurant. Moreover, I wish the owner well. He's doing his best and it really shows!
