"HIGHLY recommend this place!! Just finished with a very enjoyable lunch! We had schnitzel first and then strudel for dessert. This was our third schnitzel on our trip and it was excellent! The best one! We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air and watch the newlywed couples coming out of the town hall."

"The best local cuisine restaurant I've been to so far in Köln. Stefan is a wonderful host, very chatty. He will lift your spirits, take genuine interest in whatever you talk to him about and has the impeccable skill of making you feel welcome and comfortable. The food was exceptional and the portions are huge. I had slow cooked marinated beef with red cabbage that literally melted in my mouth. I packed half of the portion for take away. The prices are friendly relative to the portion size. The ambience is pleasant, the music is not too loud, melding with the sound of lively conversation of a pleasant and happy crowd."

"Stephan is an amazingly friendly and nice waiter, the food is amazing and the atmosphere relaxed. We didn't wait more than 15 minutes for our meal, and the portions were huge (we had to wrap up half of our portions to go). I highly recommend this place and our host, Stephan."

"10/10 recommend !! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so kind. My friend ordered the Sauerbraten and I got some sort of breakfast schnitzel, I don’t exactly remember the name. We tried each other’s dishes, and we were both in love. Everything was so good and the food came out really quickly. My friend conveyed that I had a nut allergy to the staff, and he assured me that there were no nuts in the whole restaurant. As someone with life-threatening food-allergies who is often limited when it comes to dining out, this restaurant was a great find. Location : less than a 10 minute walk from the Cathedral and Central Station. Perfect spot! Beer : My friend and I ordered some “Kölsch”. Again, we don’t remember the name, but it was delicious."
