Peter's Brauhaus is often described as a beer hall, but it is so much more than that. Once we entered, we were ushered into the bar, so that we could drink a local beer while we waited for a table. This gave us time to also take in the rustic wood construction of the interior, and enjoy the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. Seating is family style, but they also have a few tables for two. The food is hearty traditional German fare, you won't need a second meal that day. This is certainly a must do in Koln, to have an authentic meal in a historic brauhaus.

The spazle portion was enormous and loaded with gorgeously caramelized onions and cheese. The cheese schnitzels were exactly as you could imagine, crispy crunchy on the outside with a golden crusty and ooey gooey stretchy cheese on the inside, paired with either sauce it was fantastic. Jaegar sauce was packed with mushrooms in a brown gravy and the Balkan were fresh chopped onions, a flavorful red sauce and a white sauce with fresh herbs. Amazing amazing. Easily one of the best meals I had on my trip. Oh I made a reservation by the way so not sure how walking in would look like. Staff were very nice.

We took the taxi here - our first time taking the taxi in Germany, because some of us took an…read moreafternoon nap and we wanted to be able to put in our order before the kitchen closed. We got across the river to the Latäng District with no traffic at all - this must be what it's like when people are happy to use public transport options. The restaurant is covered in wallpaper of old photographs from the founding proprietress, Paula Kleinmann. Oma means "Grandma". The original photos are back with her family when the business was sold in 2023 to the Wolf and Küther-Jankovic families, who still operate it. Grandma Kleinmann passed away in 2009 at the age of 95, but her recipes live on here. The menu is simple - it's all schnitzel. We ordered a regular veal schnitzel with mushroom sauce and a Viennese pork schnitzel with "curry ketchup" so that we could better understand the difference. As far as we can tell, the meat for the Viennese pork schnitzel is sliced thinner and the batter doesn't fall off when you cut it. The meat for the regular schnitzel is thicker as its its batter, so pieces tend to crumble off when you cut it. Both were excellent, so it's just a matter of preference. Our son preferred the regular schnitzel and I preferred the Viennese one. I'm only sad that we had to leave leftovers on the table, but we really couldn't eat another bite. We like that they made non-alcoholic drinks. Our son had the blackcurrent spritzer and I had the rhubarb one. We also ordered a dessert of strawberry ice cream which was embedded with frozen strawberries. We hustled back to the hotel on public transport, taking first the train and then catching the last bus back. https://www.beiomakleinmann.de

We of course ordered Kölsch, which they bring around to drop off full glasses as soon as you finish the last sip of your previous glass. I ordered a dish from their seasonal asparagus menu, which was very tasty. The schnitzel was fried well without being too dry and the asparagus was huge, but still delicious. My bf got the Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes frites. The fries were crispy and the mushroom sauce was a great addition. Our server was very friendly and kind and we really enjoyed our meal here!

I ordered a schnitzel and something off the snacks menu, the Halve Hahn. The Halve Hahn was basically sandwich ingredients, including bread and cheese. It would have been fine with just beer. The schnitzel was huge. Kölsch (beer) is so small. One glass is not even close to being enough. We also ordered what felt like an overpriced bottle of still water. The location is convenient, right next to the train station. There is a parking lot nearby with free parking for a limited time, before they start charging 50 cents. Not bad at all. As with most places here, smoking is allowed outside, so just hope that no one lights up too close to you while you are there.
