We came here on a Sunday evening after a full day at Phantasialand. It was quite busy but there was…read morea table available outside. You can make a reservation on Open Table but I didn't do that. 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.

Nice brew house. Good beers and huge portions for lunch. Had the traditional bratwurst except it…read morewas twice the size in the US. Their potato salad was excellent. They do have an open Biergarten in the square with full service from the restaurant which is around the corner. The inside is quite nice and quaint.

We wanted to try the local beer and sit inside so Peter's was a great option right off the market…read moresquare. 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.

Outstanding, authentic German food. If visiting Phantasialand, stop by, it's very close!…read more Roast beef is tender, in a generous pool of awesome wine sauce. The sauce is the best I've ever had, with a powerful flavor which goes perfectly with the beef, red cabbage & potato dumplings. Each part of the dish is served separately, which is a nice touch. Service is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is quiet. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the excellent food. This place seems to be frequented by locals, or at least other Germans. We seemed to be the only obvious tourists there.

My husband ordered lamb while my sister ordered pork cutlet... very very delicious, the potatoes were awesome no need to ask for salt or pepper... sauce and herb used were more than enough... highly recommended when you're in Koln, Germany. The Koln beer was even tasty considering I don't drink beer.
