    We have eaten here several times and enjoyed it hence returning with our family, however, our last experience wasn’t great. My husband and I ordered the pork chop which looked fabulous, after a few bites we both noticed it was pink and there was blood present, To be fair the staff changed it for us, once it arrived my two sons had eaten their meals, it was meant to be a family meal!, The second pork chops also appeared pink and by this point we were put off eating it. I appreciate there are some meats you can eat certain meats link but not pork. Disappointing the restaurant didn’t notice this and at least offer to amend the bill or realise how serious this could have been.

    you come at peak time Saturday evening 7 pm you get the full experience of a packed pub like restaurant with the noise level like I wouldn't normally tolerate in a restaurant where food is served. However, we were told that this is the way here and all other seats had been reserved, so we stayed and tried to cope. The table was at a very busy spot right next to the point where the staff had to get in and out, so not really very comfy. Having said that, I am still happy we stayed because the staff was super friendly and attentive with a local attitude that really turned things around. And: the food was amazing!!! I had the classic "Sauerbraten" and it was so good! Overall: Would I go back there? Yes, but not when its so busy. After 8 things already got a little bit relaxed, so if you have the choice go earlier or later than 7 pm. The place is fairly small but has an upper level too. You might be lucky and get a nice spot there.

    Unfortunately due to Covid they had a very limited menu. We had vegetarians in our party and had checked the menu in advance but all the veggie stuff was not available which meant it was literally a plate of grilled veg. But service was pleasant, and the food we did have was tasty.

    Was empty around lunchtime. So easy to be seated and very few people. Would be busier at weekends and evenings.

    Our first visit and will go again the next time in Cologne. The veal schnitzel was excellent and service was attentive. This is a very good authentic German pub/ restaurant and is much better than others we have been to in Cologne. Most customers seemed to be locals which is a plus.
