I knew I would love this place from the second I walked in. We were warmly greeted by an…read moreEnglish-speaking waitress to a cozy little restaurant with wine bottles lining the walls and a whole Iberico ham in back waiting to be carved and eaten (I love that stuff). This was my first night in Cologne and I was pretty hungry so we both opted for the large tapas sampling... excellent decision. Way too much food, of course, but what a blast trying it all. The highlights were the ham (duh), vegetable gratin, prosciutto and cheese dates, and well pretty much anything with cheese in it. The manchengo- yum, the honeyed Brie like cheese with walnuts - awesome and some kind of bonus feta says that was really tasty. And before all that, some delicious bread and rich garlic sauce. The best part of this is that everything is served "tapas" style, small sample size dishes, so you can try it all... and I did. Throw in a great bottle of Spanish wine for less than 25 euros and it was a great meal all around. Lucky this place was close to our hotel and we stumbled in...

There is interior seating but we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. The lentil soup was delicious and the cod with spinach was cooked to perfection. The tortilla was a little different than the ones we enjoyed in Spain but still very good. Spanish tapas in Germany are a nice break from the traditional German fare.

My partner and I shared around 9 taps and it was a hell of a lot of food, but it was so delicious I was force feeding myself till the last tapas.
