Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After reading all the reviews, I had to come here and try this place out. On a Monday around lunch, the backyard was about one third full when we showed up. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their food and drinking Kölsch. Everyone talks about the pork chop, so I had to order it and give my own opinion. This was a solid pork chop and the onions certainly enhanced the dish. Unfortunately, my piece came lukewarm at best and definitely not as juicy as if it would have been right out of the oven. The version I had was good, but not worthy of all the accolades. Other than that, we tried Metthappen (raw pork tartare), which was somewhat bland and mushy. Had to add a lot of salt and pepper for more flavor. With that said, the liverwurst and blood sausage were both excellent. In the end, I did not love the bread, but the pickle was great. Service with a smile, the servers were very kind and patient. They will gladly let you take your time to order while they fill your next glass of Kölsch. If you want them to stop, many people have mentioned, just put your coaster on top of your glass.

Perfect place if your vegan or vegetarian. A rare sight in Germany. Good food served in a cosy and…read moretrendy space. Friendly waiters. Had the vegetarian cheeseburger which was extremely tasted, made from some sort of soy I believe, the spices on the "patty" were trimmed to perfection. A vegetarian burger can't taste any better than this.

I'm the worst when it comes to vegetables but I happily went here two nights in a row. The food is good. Not wonderful but good enough to satisfy even the strict meat eater. The chili cheese fries (we tried the vegan as well as vegetarian on two different nights) was delicious. Plus a free Foosball table in a graffiti covered bar/restaurant? No complaints. Very friendly waitstaff. Cash only.

What an unexpected surprise on the other side of the river! If the restaurant hasn't gotten the…read morerecognition already, I'd be surprised if it doesn't get Michelin recommended or Bib Gourmand shortly. What stood out were the flavors. Bold, tangy, and complemented everything well. We got the rhubarb cheese tart as the appetizer and the sweet/tartness of the rhubarb was nicely offset by the cheese. Entrees were the halibut with koodles (kohlrabi in noodle form) and mashed tomatoes. The kohlrabi was the unexpected star. Loved the tangy taste offset by the fish and potatoes. Also had the linguine with octopus. The linguine was pretty std but the lemon burst of flavor was so pleasant! Go here and enjoy a meal! It's a Köln gem!

Came here during the wintertime and dined in the basement. We were surprised to find such a…read morespacious and interesting location. It definitely provided for a chill ambiance. The beer was obviously not bad and the sünner malzbier which I love was also great. Jaegerschnitzel was good. It's not as thin of a piece as I would have liked but that's personal preference. The other dish was not memorable at all. For the price which I remember as being not cheap but still reasonable, I wished I had just travelled elsewhere. We noticed too late that most other parties were only drinking and chatting without eating. It was worth a try and if I'm in a pinch to show someone a German brewery then I might take them there for some beer and maybe a schnitzel. They also offer brewery tours (might need to reserve that ahead of time) so that could be a nice combo. The atmosphere in the summer seems to be better too when the outside dining space is also opened. This is not a particularly child friendly location. There are steps around the dining area, and we were not offered a high chair.

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.
