A winner for the schnitzel-novice. Portions are large, enough to split between 2 people. Free bread and yummy cream sauce for spread. The red zinfandel was only $5 and perfect for the meal. Also got creme brûlée and very pleased. small place, but worth the wait! read more

Showed up, yelp shows they're open, all doors are locked. Make sure to call first. Looked like a good restaurant otherwise.

Wow! The most delicious authentic German meal we had was here! Wonderful, friendly staff; beautiful indoor/outdoor seating and amazing schnitzel! read more

Having dined here during business trips over the last decade to Köln, I should have reviewed them sooner. A wonderful small local restaurant serving outstanding Mediterranean and German food. The service is friendly and accommodating (I have a gluten allergy). I never miss a meal here when visiting. You should not either read more

I walked for 18 minutes to find they are not open on Monday. How hard is it to update your profile? read more

Excellent quaint family restaurant with such friendly hosts. English speaking which is great for tourists. Schnitzel was phenomenal- such big portions. We ordered the baked feta- so so good, but an appetizer with the generous dinner portions we could not finish the dinner. Go hungry! If you want a table by the window, you need to reserve in advance when you make a reservation. Reservations are highly recommended due to small dining area. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommended! Thank you for a wonderful experience in your beautiful city! read more

We were lucky to get the last table at this place. It's a small local German restaurant that seats maybe 25-30 people and run by what looked like 3 people (super friendly!). The schnitzel was so good that my 19 year old son ordered a second plate (and the portions were not small, see pic, the plate itself was large). The potato salad was amazing, and I'm not typically a fan read more

Absolutely delicious Vienna style schnitzel and beet salad. Accommodating staff for this non-German speaking guest. Will return!

Back again one year later. It is easily one of not the top restaurant in Cologne. The staff and owners are gracious and wonderful. The food is still fantastic and worth every penny. read more

Restaurant Brücken - Shrimp in olive oil appetizer. - German Near Me - Cologne, NW

Fantastic food, chef and family. This family run restaurant experience was wonderful. Had the lamb twice and tried both deserts. It was great. Advice: Make reservation. Or, you can sit outdoors. Both options are good. read more

This place was so quaint, and the owner's wife was lovely. We ordered the Lamb Chops, Shrimp Appetizer, and Schnitzel. The lamb chops were divine, and so was the appetizer. We are not big on fried food, so the Schnitzel was interesting. The cranberry sauce it came with was amazing. We also love the spread they gave us with the warm bread basket. A must-try if you are in Cologne. read more

Super charming bistrot in the streets of cologne near the hauptbahnhof (central train station). I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I was so engrossed with the food that it took my non-German speaking self a while to recognize the theme of the restaurant - with pictures of famous bridges world wide, brücken means bridges. I had a lentil soup with halibut - the halibut was cooked extremely well, almost flaky tenderness. I had the brücken schnitzel which was more like a pork steak than what I was expecting but still great. Friendly owners who were happy to accommodate me! read more

The food was fresh, hot served and fast. We all tried new things. Highly recommend the feta and pepper bake, the fried zucchini with tsatziki, and fried calamari to start. We then either enjoyed lamb skewers, schnitzel , and steak. read more

Small restaurant and had a regular schnitzel - it was so large I couldn't finish! Portions were enormous. Also had a couple kolsch and walked back to the Marriott to have an afternoon nap after all that food. Takes card. Parking seems crowded here. read more

Great little Greek restaurant near the Marriott. Small dining room - make a reservation. If you like sharing they have a nice tapas menu. Octopus and the lamb skewers were my favorites. read more

I live nearby and eat here frequently. Chef Gregory is Greek and brings a Mediterranean touch to his german fare. His food is a bit lighter and more flavorful than the usual german food I eat. He has excellent sources for fresh ingredients. A few weeks ago it was Galician beef. This week he's getting some beautiful fresh fish. Next week are Fine de Claire oysters (pre-order only). And he does all the standard items so well too. The restaurant is small and intimate, I feel like I'm visiting friends in their living room. It only seats about 20-25 so I recommend reservations, esp on weekends. It can be tough to get a table, I see him turn away so many people. Worth it. read more

Fantastic food, the chef really knows his flavors! From beginning to end the meal service was excellent. read more

Amazing Wiener schnitzel! Get the Original! OMG it was our happy place! Great bier and service too!

Love it very much! Price is good with tasty food. Will come again for sure. Its also really near hbf read more

This spot was so friendly and the food was delicious. We tried the quiche Lorraine, which was served with a fresh green salad complimented by kidney beans, slivered carrots, tomatoes, corn and a sweet dressing. It was a generous portion, and not expensive. My husband had a pork dish served with puréed potatoes and a cucumber salad. My friend chose the eggplant lasagne, which had eggplant in place of pasta, making it a low carb wonder. Her daughter had the pasta with ground meat, which I didn't sample, but she liked it, and it looked tasty. Lovely choice! read more

We went there last night and shared the marinated peppers starter and both went for the large schnitzel. It was delicious, I would recommend this place to anyone and the staff were really nice. read more

What a find! Phenomenal food, atmosphere and staff. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Koeln

Stopped in after flying in from the U.S. The proprietor was very nice and explained the offerings for that day. Ended up with the pasta special which was delicious. We had a very nice, relaxing meal there. Our taxi driver couldn't future out where it was, so we had to show the map. read more

Great place. I normally detest dining alone but the Schnitzel Brucken was enough to keep me from dwelling on that. Very good. The bread and sour cream is also terrific. Topped off with a nice house Chardonnay that was a generous pour. Did I mention the good price? I think I just did. Definitely recommend this spot if you find yourself staying in the vicinity. read more

Fantastic food and service! I rarely visit the same place twice when traveling, but I'm definitely considering returning before I leave.. even though I'm only here for two days. Truly a treat! Everything was as fresh as they described on their menu and the staff and atmosphere were wonderful. read more

Simple German food done very well, lots of locals eat here so it must be good, I have to stop here every time I'm in Koln. Best schnitzel in town. read more

The waiter was NOT friendly at all! my mom was not comfortable with the weather so she ordered 2 glass of warm water, when we pay the bill she tried to ask for another one but the waiter mocked here I quote" why she can't order a pot of tea" and refuse to offer it, I was glad to pay if he charges us for hot water because I never ask it for free! Their attitude was just the opposite to what they try to describe on their first sheet menu, I strongly advise the owner to remove this page because they are not a "worm, friendly place" at all! read more

So good! Great food, great atmosphere, very friendly. Found this place on yelp while in Cologne for work. Will definitely go back. Comfortable to eat alone. read more

this place has great food and nice service at a very good price! we ate here twice - definitely recommend; the alcohol free beer tastes almost the same as real beer; also the butter herb steak was excellent :) read more
