Die Speisekarte war abgespeckt, die gute alte Hausmannsküche die immer so toll war , ist nun die übliche Brauhauskarte wie überall. Dann wurde Ballermannmusik in einer Lautstärke abgespielt dass es anstrengend wurde sich zu unterhalten. Da die Lautstärke auch auf unsere Bitte hin nicht runtergedreht wurde, sind wir dann woanders hingegangen. Schade , schade, schade...

I stopped by here in the middle of the day to get a bite to eat and sample Reissdorf since I had…read morealready tasted Gaffel, Gilden, Fruh, Muhlen, Dom, and Sion. I was pretty hungry as well, and without even looking at the menu, I spotted a dish that another guy was eating so I just pointed to it and asked the server if I could have what that guy was eating. She was really nice and made sure I had a full, fresh glass at all times. My dish resembled a shake 'n bake pork chop, but the best shake 'n bake pork chop anyone has ever had. A side of potato salad and a tub of mustard complemented it just right. It was very low-key when I came in, but it looked like a great place to party.

Well something like that anyway. It is a Paffgen Kolsch house. The teeny tiny beverages were served to us by an amusing waiter who was clearly a bit of a character.

Service was what you would expect in a crowded heavy tourist area of Köln. Food was to the level expected for what was paid. The Kolch flowed freely and we had a great meal. I would recommend this spot for a beer and a bite.

They do speak English :) when we walked in, we were seated immediately! The waitress walked up and…read moreasked if we drink beer...we said yes and the beer started! It is a Kolsche beer that they serve here. It comes in small glasses (maybe 3-4oz) and they will just keep bringing you beer unless you cover your cup with a coaster! It's pretty fun! We did choose to try a few things that we had never tried before! All of it was great, a couple things too kind of a brain adjustment? In the USA, we don't eat raw pork. I guess Germany has higher standards for their meat and it can be eaten raw! The Kolsche tapas is raw pork on bread with seasoning and toppings! It was really good! Don't be scared! Give it a try!!! The second one that was a bit of a mind freak was the kolscher kaviar. It is a black pudding which is blood sausage. It is colored with pork blood! The pretzel was amazing, the restaurant was a bit loud but that's to be expected when they are TONS of people!!
