Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--the cheeses were rich in the Croque Monsieur and flavorful, they were silky and comforting, and every bite tasted like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared. The service was just as wonderful; our server was warm, attentive, cute AF and made us feel right at home. The outdoor seating was perfect for people-watching, which, let's be honest, These German guys are super handsome. Köln did not disappoint... I don't know what they're putting in the water here, but Germans really do make strolling down the street look like a model show. Anyways, whatever you do, save room for the chocolate soufflé. It rose higher than my self-control and disappeared faster than my promise to "just have one bite." A fantastic meal, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I'll happily return to!

We had the Labneh Bil Thoum, Batata Harra, Halloumi Kase, Baba Ghannousch, and Sambusil Bil Lahmeh. Also included was warm flatbread for the dipping. The flavors really popped with each dish and I would say you don't need to order a salad because there is plenty as a garnish (see photos below)! I would say it compares to some of the best we had in Beirut in 2022!

ABER: Wir waren, was auch kommuniziert wurde, geschäftlich in Köln unterwegs und es nahmen Vertreter aus drei Unternehmen am Abendessen teil. Jedes der beteiligten Unternehmen bezahlte jeweils separat und hätte dementsprechend auch einen eigenen Beleg benötigt. Laut Auskunft des Servicepersonals sei es jedoch nicht möglich den Gesamtbeleg auf drei Einzelbelege zu splitten (wir hatten zufällig jemanden mit Gastronomie-Kenntnissen dabei der darüber nur schmunzeln konnte). Im Nachgang habe ich zweimal per Email um eine entsprechende Korrektur und Zusendung der drei Einzelbelege gebeten- leider ohne eine Antwort zu bekommen. Eigentlich schade, daß Restaurant ist einen Besuch wert aber sowas geht dann halt gar nicht und so wurden aus beabsichtigten 5 Sternen dann eben nur einer.

They started the table with fresh made bread & homemade butter. We ordered their Schnitzel, Gnocchi, & a Kolsch beer. The schnitzel was tender, moist, & had a golden fry (did not feel greasy at all). The gnocchi was soft, chewy, & fresh with mushrooms & veal. Service was attentive and helpful when trying to figure out what to order. We finished our meal with a berry cobbler which came out hot & with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

**FAVORITE LUNCH SPOT IN COLOGNE**…read more If you feel like having a high-quality and somewhat pricey lunch, DO IT. HERE. AMBIANCE ========== Typical European bistro with strong Italian influences. Clean, upscale. Outdoor seating next to the cobble-stoned streets. FOOD ===== SALAT ZIEGENKÄSE (11,50 euros) OMG, the best goat cheese and salad in the world. Good size cheese rested upon a cracker, oozing on top of a delicious bed of salad. A meal in itself, no need to order a main entreé. RATING: 5/5 STAFF ====== Quick, efficient, and friendly. They went out of their way to explain their menu in English. NOTE ====== Don't take complimentary filtered water for granted in the States. Water is NOT free in Europe. **5 euros for a small bottle of water was steep.** Still dreaming about that goat cheese salad. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for lunch.

We ordered the Zaalouk for appetizer which comprised of smokey eggplant, garlic and tomatoes, treated as a spread with warm flatbread. For mains, we got Beef Tagine and Lamb with couscous. The flavors had a great spice level and transported me back to Morocco. The worst part of the evening was the service. I ordered an appetizer, knowing that Tagine will take a while. It all came together 35 minutes later. Can't blame it on COVID for mistakes like this. Can't fool us to have dessert since we never saw him come to our table besides giving food. We ended up walking to the cashier to pay. Our server was having his well deserved smoke break. Come here, eat the food but don't come hangry!
