Authentic Japanese, real solid ramen…read more The spicy chicken ramen really hit the spot, savory broth and perfectly cooked noodles. I was surprised how thick and umami the broth tasted. The takoyaki were also delicious, only wish they came with 6 and not 4. The chicken wings, another home run. The gyoza were a bit on the soggy side, perhaps maybe another 30 seconds in the pan would've made them perfect. Also try the various fruit teas, not too sweet and perfect to wash down the hot noodles with.

Ana took care of any and all of our requests and were very flexible with the menu. A few of our guests had some dietary requirements and all of these were taken care of by the kitchen. The food here is fantastic. Great ingredients cooked simply but well. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly and the wine we were offered was of equal quality. Its hard to find a restaurant that offers food of this standard with a wine service to match but this is a reason why I will definitely be going back to Tanica again! Thank you for a fantastic afternoon and keep doing what you're doing!

Eigelsteiner seems to be where all the dive bars are located in Cologne. Actually, I never realised…read morethat there were any bars here until I wandered down here to visit the Waschsalon, and decided to visit some of them while waiting for my clothes to get washed. Mind you, it turned out that these places were pretty dodgy, and rather empty at that, except for some rather dodgy looking people they were trying to get you to pay for some services that I wasn't particularly interested in. In a way these bars are probably best ignored.

You'll see from my picture that there is a line of people storming the door, and me and friends are…read moreabout 15 people back! 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.

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.
