Place was mostly empty but seems the city doesn't wake until late afternoon. The people who were there seemed local and the food was what we wanted. I got the currywurst and my husband the schnitzel. Portions were larger than we expected for the price (but we are from Cali). Got a couple glasses of Kolsh. Service was friendly and the staff accommodated our English-only. Menu had English descriptions, which has been rare at these local spots. We paid cash, not sure if they would have accepted Apple Pay.

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.

Staff was attentive, friendly and spoke English. I'm Italian and can be discerning on Italian cuisine so I was surprised to find how genuine and delicious the meal was. Pizza was prepared with a thin chewy crust and sauce and ingredients were very fresh. The insalata rucola was also delicious and fresh with plenty to share with my husband. The restaurant was elegant, artsy but not too fussy and not too noisy either. My only warning to travelers is that this restaurant doesn't accept payment via credit card! You must bring cash.

Korean BBQ meets the electric grill! This is the way to do Korean BBQ, I think, if you have an…read moreengagement after dinner. While the electric grill doesn't eliminate all the meat odor from your clothes, you could get by with a nice walk outside. (I did this before a concert and no one gave me the stink eye during the show, so I am assuming that my strategy succeeded.) Meat.ing is quality Korean BBQ in a chic setting. You will be comfortably full, but this is not what you would necessarily seek out to pig out. Its side dish offerings are delicious and apparently use very little or no MSG, evidenced by how comfortable my stomach felt after the meal. The kimchi is on the sour side, which I personally prefer in ramen soups rather than eating it as a side dish. But all the other side dishes made up for it. The meats are well prepared and quite tender. We came for dinner and chose Menu 1, which includes 3-layered pork belly, sirloin, and three types of marinated meats (chicken, beef, and pork). The marinade was a good balance of sweet and savory. The dinner offerings are stylized as course offerings, so you can expect appetizer (fried dumplings) and dessert (honey yogurt with fruit). Lovely dinner option in Koln and a must visit if you want a great Korean BBQ experience!

Korean BBQ is not known for its…read moreambiance, but as soon as I walked into the restaurant, I immediately noticed the chic and modern decor, streamlined gray and black color scheme, and orchid floral arrangements, which is always a plus for me. The friendly waitress greeted us with warm towels to clean our hands and a free dumpling appetizer (mandu) to start. The banchan (side dishes) were also a great variety (and for those unfamiliar with Korean restaurants, the plentiful side dishes are always free.) The presentation was also nice, and the meat was well-marinated. We chose Menu 1, which included pork, chicken, beef, samgyupsal, and bulgogi. Dinner ended with a refreshing yogurt/fruit dessert that was simple but hit the spot and cleansed the palette after a hearty meal- also included in the menu (complimentary). Cost was very reasonable, considering the sheer amount of food- 22.90 per person (excluding drinks). Another bonus- they use electric grills, which means no smokey charcoal smell on your clothes afterwards. Some people prefer coals, but I sometimes prefer the simple method of electric- seems better for the health too (less carcinogenic fumes, hopefully?). If you haven't been here yet, go! Service is very friendly, and most of the servers can speak English, Korean, and German very well. (Note: I've been to some of the best Korean BBQ places in America, and I have to say that European Korean BBQ is much different. Atmosphere is different, taste is slightly different, and I've yet to see a place offer LA galbi. It's the same way that Italian, Spanish, and even American cuisine is interpreted and presented drastically different in Europe, probably because of different ingredients, as well as the need to meet the European palette of the typical clientele. It's fascinating for me to go to Korean restaurants in Europe and see the cultural translation and spin on it.)

There is an iron warmer with a tealight underneath that does a great job keeping you meal piping hot (and I don't mean warm, but HOT). My guest also ordered a curry, so he also had such. Needless to say, our meals were fresh the entire duration of our visit. Note, while the window shows a VISA sticker (and a couple other emblems) showing acceptance, they declined accepting (European establishments really refrain from accepting credit card because of the hefty fees, whereas in USA, "plastic" is generally the norm). It's a good thing I had cash on me!

We decided to sit outside, but because it started to drizzle, we went inside. We paid for our drinks outside and brought them in with us. The waiter was not friendly. Asked if we had paid for our drinks, I said we paid outside. I'm not sure if he believed me. When he finally came to take our drinks outside order, he seemed irritated with us.

However, upon closing our bill, the waiter got very angry with me saying something about good service and no tip. We are literally in Germany where you don't tip. It's a cool place to see, but I'm not sure I would go back.
