We made a reservation for my family of 4 at 9.30 pm and arrived on time When we arrived at the hotel the doorman instead of pointing us to the restaurant send us to the Hotel Front Desk The person on the front desk make every excuse to not let us in I had to get my self directly to the restaurant to be informed that the restaurant was closed for a private event Nobody apologize neither the captain or anyone else I felt discriminated for no particular reason. I can understand if they had a problem with their reservation system but the whole episode was handled very poorly FYI the reservation was made under Nedvedovich

Great dinner at Hanse Stube, every dish was delicious! We had the A La Carte Menu which consisted of Half dozen Fine de Claire oysters Shallot vinaigrette, chester bread and lemon Crustacean cocktail Cocktail sauce, horseradish, lettuce and mango SCALLOP "SAILOR" White wine, north sea crab, young leek Bodegas y Veñedos Artazu, Navarra Santa Cruz de Artazu Chateaubriand of German pasture-raised beef Cipollini onion, baby carrots, annabelle potato Blood Orange Sorbet Tangerine and Carrot Sorbet Overall, great experience! All the dishes were wonderfully delicious. The staffs are warm and welcoming! A restaurant very deserving of the highest praise 😊

Excellent restaurant. Food is very high quality. I was very surprised by the duck liver with raspberry sorbet, it was delicious. Then I had a perfectly cooked beef piece and some chocolate. Service was perfect. Only bad thing that comes to my mind is that the room might be a bit “closed”, but I did not mind as I was focused on the food haha. Very great experience overall.

Twice I have eaten here, years apart. The service par none and the food is worth the wait. Of all I had I enjoyed the lamb and potato croquet qithe the red wine pairing. Surprising I would eat the rhubarb desert again and I do not like rhubarb.

Had a great lunch with a delicious parsley soup and a wiener schnitzel. However, if you go here one must try their roasted goose. It looked and smelled absolutely fantastic. Good enough reason to come back. Excellent service and the location is just beautiful!

The ambiance and the staff are the best but it took 2 hours to have our main dishes.We were thinking they are trying to catch the pigeon to cook. If you are planning to have long dinner go there otherwise it is too much.

Classic French cuisine at a good level. The service is extremely courteous and very attentive throughout the evening. The wine list offers a nice assortment of international wines of all price levels. The food could not fully convince. The truffles of the starter were tasteless. Meat and sauce of the main course were incredibly good, but the side dishes either under- or overcooked. Unfortunately, this does not justify the prices charged. The dessert then reconciled again, remarkably good.

Excellent, witty service and even better food 10/10

Incredible restaurant and equally impressive food. We came here for a team dinner and honestly I felt so spoilt. The menu consisted of - Tartar from Veal Cream soup of Chanterelle Flamed Salmon Trout Filet of Beef Peach Variations Absolutely loved every moment of our visit and couldn't want for more. 10/10.

(Translated by Google) Every two years we go out to eat with 5-6 people in the Hanseatic Goose. It is always a pleasure to dine there. The goose and the side dishes are perfect. The service is always friendly, but not too stiff. The selection of drinks is excellent. Beer drinkers, however, always have to be patient because the beer, whether it's Kölsch or Pils beer, always has to be fetched from the somewhat distant bar. Overall an absolute recommendation. For an evening including alcoholic beverages + cheese + dessert to round off, around 120-150 € should be estimated. (Original) Alle zwei Jahre gehen wir mit 5-6 Personen in der Hansestube Gans essen. Jedes Mal ist es ein Hochgenuss dort zu speisen. Die Gans und die Beilagen sind perfekt. Die Bedienung ist stets freundlich, und dennoch nicht zu steif. Die Getränkeauswahl ist ausgezeichnet. Biertrinker müssen sich allerdings immer etwas gedulden, weil das Bier, egal ob Kölsch oder Pils, stets aus der etwas entfernten Bar geholt werden muss. Insgesamt eine absolute Empfehlung. Für einen Abend inkl. alkoholischer Getränke + Käse + Dessert zur Abrundung sollten ca. 120-150 € veranschlagt werden.

Extremely enjoyable dinner. Had the tasting menu. Wonderful service.

(Translated by Google) A good address we know, but yesterday (4 people) we were there, one catastrophe! Starter returned 1 person, main course returned 3 people. How can such bad qualities go out of the kitchen in a controlled manner ??? For the sake of order, we weren't the only ones to complain! (Original) Eine gute Adresse, die wir kennen, aber gestern waren wir (4Personen)dort, eine einzige Katastrophe ! Vorspeise zurückgegeben 1 Person, Hauptspeise zurückgegeben 3 Personen. Wie können solch schlechte Qualitäten kontrolliert aus der Küche gehen??? Der Ordnung halber, wir waren nicht die Einzigen, die reklamiert haben.!

(Translated by Google) We were here for the first time today in the Hanse Stube for lunch. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. At the traditional restaurant of the Hotel Excelsior we also had high demands on the occasion of the high price of 69 €, which unfortunately the restaurant could not fulfill. But first to the positive. We wanted a big table and got it. Also the bread was very delicious. But the appetizer and the main course could not convince us. Too little creativity and the sauce was too normal. Unfortunately, nothing special. As we have heard from other tables, these had also criticized the main course. Unfortunately, after the starter we had to wait almost half an hour for the soup. That was way too long for a soup. We have noted this. Fortunately, everything went a little faster. The soup, however, tasted very good. But honestly the main course (venison) could have been so in each brewery in Cologne for much less money. That disappointed us. Only the dessert was really good. A compliment to the patisserie! Unfortunately, the poor waiter could not help the not so good dishes, but always tried hard to host us well. I was also allowed to exchange the soup from the menu for one of the card. The initial long wait could have resulted from too few staff. It was busy, but you could only see 3 waiters. Not enough for such a sophisticated restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was not explained, as we would expect from fine restaurants. Surprisingly, there were also chocolates at the end. These were served by the very nice Asian lady who was known to us from the Taku. For us she is the good soul of the house and the best waitress. It really deserves recognition! Overall, there is still a lot of room in the restaurant and it could not meet our high standards, which were connected to the hotel Excelsior Ernst unfortunately. All in all it was just an overpriced brewhouse meal for us. At the price, which is at star level, we had expected more. Now we know, however, why the great restaurant guides of the Hanse Stube pay little attention. We hope that the restaurant can still improve! (Original) Wir waren heute das erste Mal in der Hanse Stube und zwar zum Mittagessen. Leider wurden wir dabei sehr enttäuscht. An das Traditionslokal vom Hotel Excelsior hatten wir auch anlässlich des hohen Preises von 69€ hohe Ansprüche, die das Restaurant leider nicht erfüllen konnte. Doch zunächst zum positiven. Wir haben uns einen großen Tisch gewünscht und diesen auch bekommen. Auch das Brot war sehr köstlich. Doch die Vorspeise und der Hauptgang konnten uns nicht überzeugen. Zu wenig Kreativität und die Soße war zu normal. Hatte leider nichts besonderes. Wie wir von anderen Tischen mitbekommen haben, hatten diese auch den Hauptgang kritisiert. Wir mussten nach der Vorspeise leider fast eine halbe Stunde auf die Suppe warten. Das war für eine Suppe viel zu lang. Dies haben wir angemerkt. Glücklicherweise ging dann alles etwas schneller. Die Suppe hat jedoch sehr gut geschmeckt. Aber ganz ehrlich den Hauptgang (Rehkeule) hätte man so in jedem Brauhaus in Köln auch für viel weniger Geld bekommen können. Das hat uns enttäuscht. Einzig das Dessert war echt gut. Ein Lob an die Patisserie! Der arme Kellner konnte leider nichts für die nicht so guten Gerichte, doch war stets bemüht uns gut zu bewirten. Dabei wurde mir auch gestattet die Suppe aus dem Menü gegen eine von der Karte auszutauschen. Die anfänglich lange Wartezeit könnte sich aus zu wenig Personal ergeben haben. Es war gut besucht, doch man konnte nur 3 Kellner sehen. Zu wenig für ein so gehobenes Restaurant. Leider wurden die Speisen auch nicht erklärt, so wie wir es von gehobenen Restaurants erwarten würden. Es gab überraschenderweise aber auch Pralinen zum Schluss. Diese wurden von der sehr netten asiatischen Dame serviert, die uns aus dem Taku bekannt war. Für uns ist sie die gute Seele des Hauses und die beste Kellnerin. Sie verdient echt Anerkennung! Insgesamt gibt es in dem Restaurant aber noch sehr viel Luft nach oben und es konnte unsere hohen Ansprüche, die mit dem Hotel Excelsior Ernst verbunden waren leider nicht erfüllen. Insgesamt war es lediglich ein überteuertes Brauhausessen für uns. Bei dem Preis, welcher sich auf Sterneniveau befindet, hatten wir mehr erwartet. Jetzt wissen wir jedoch, warum die großen Restaurantführer der Hanse Stube auch kaum Beachtung schenken. Wir hoffen, dass sich das Restaurant dennoch verbessern kann!

(Translated by Google) Due to a small celebration, we only wanted to have a bite to eat, since we were already eating elsewhere. We opted for a dessert ... this was apparently the biggest mistake that could have been made. Then we were condescendingly treated with the following sentences: just a dessert? (everything was cleared from the table afterwards - in front of us) Could not you have looked at the map first? - then my answer was: it was a surprise! - The waiter then: Yes for me now. one minute's silence This was the first and last visit;) (Original) Aufgrund einer kleinen Feier, wollten wir nur eine Kleinigkeit zu uns nehmen, da wir vorher schon woanders essen waren. Wir haben uns für ein Dessert entschieden.. dies war scheinbar der grösste Fehler, den man hätte machen können. Danach wurden wir herablassend behandelt mit folgenden Sätzen: nur ein Dessert ? ( alles wurde danach abgeräumt vom Tisch - vor uns ) Hätten Sie nicht vorher auf die Karte gucken können? - daraufhin war meine Antwort: Es war eine Überraschung! - Der Kellner daraufhin: Ja für mich auch jetzt. SCHWEIGEMINUTE Dies war der erste und letzte Besuch ;)

Many thanks!! We liked it very much in your house. My favorite: the pear praline (Original) Knapp an Zeit und ohne eine Reservierung haben wir uns für die Hanse Stube spontan entschieden.

(Translated by Google) WOW HAMMER After the change in the management of the hanse Stuben kitchen team, eating in the hanse parlors is really fun again! the "new" chef joschua tepner came back after a few years in the kitchen team of hanse Stuben. In the time of his absence, he discovered that the hanse stube is a very special address to enjoy in Cologne. thank god, he remembered his good times as a team partner of tobias cook in the hanse parlors and tended to pick up there again. my biggest praise => for me personally, the menu in the hanse parlors is no longer necessary! I define the number of steps and joschua tepner and his team conjure something for me. With the new approach to menu development and food preparation under joschua tepner, hanse stuben will again become a topic for enjoyable dining at a high level far beyond cologne. CLASS (Original) WOW HAMMMER nach dem wechsel bei der leitung des hanse stuben küchenteams macht das essen in den hanse stuben wieder richtig spass ! der „neue“ küchenchef joschua tepner ist nach ein paar jahren wieder zurück gekommen in das küchenteam der hanse stuben. in der zeit seiner abwesenheit konnte er feststellen, dass die hanse stube eine ganz besondere adresse zum geniessen in köln ist. gott sei dank hat er sich an seine guten zeiten als teampartner von tobias koch in den hanse stuben erinnert und dort tendenziell wieder angeknüpft. mein grösstes lob => für mich persönlich ist die speisekarte in den hanse stuben nicht mehr notwendig ! ich definiere die zahl der gänge und joschua tepner und sein team zaubern mir etwas. mit dem neuen ansatz der menue-entwicklung und speisenzubereitung unter joschua tepner werden die hanse stuben auch weit über köln hinaus wieder ein thema für genussvolles speisen mit niveau werden.

It lost its way I think. Menu is not executed well and I even got a dirty spoon.

(Translated by Google) The menu is varied and the staff are more than good and concerned. (Original) Die Speisekarte ist abwechslungsreich und die Angestellten sind mehr als gut und besorgt.

Great lunch

Not for my taste

Had a wonderful evening here. Staff were very courteous. Food was delicious and sumptuous. Slightly on expensive side but I fully recommend this place.

The restaurant is definitively a place to go for special celebrations. The decor and the staff are wonderful, I really loved the attention and care to every detail by the personnel. The food was of the highest quality, however the execution of the dishes wasn’t at the expected level unfortunately, would not go again for the food

Incredible. Such a delicious and creative meal in a gorgeous space, with attentive staff and a wonderful atmosphere.

Great food, location and service. Comfortable environment.

It’s sooooo delicious !!!!! Worth every €!!! The chef is a magician!!!

What can I say than OMG. From beginning until the end it was the experience! Wow wow! A huge thanks to your all team. It was my pleasure to be in your place.

(Translated by Google) Top address in Cologne. Always my pleasure. (Original) Top Adresse in Köln. Immer wieder gerne.

Since years we used to come, unfortunately the kitchen chef changed and the food was not at all to our expectations. Overcooked, oversalted and simply not ok. In contrast to the deterioration of the food quality the prises even raised further, so overall: lovely place but not a good price food content equation. Let's hope the best for the future

Truly excellent food but waited two hours for main course to arrive.

Good place to have a good meal with friends , would visit again . highly recommended ..

Wonderful dining experience, we had the signature menu, beautiful presentation and all delicious. The artichoke cream soup and the pigeon were particularly unforgettable.

Fancy restaurant with elegant atmosphere and amazing food and beverage selection.

Very delicious food. Hanse Stube enabled us to have a great evening with excellent eye for details. Creative food experience.

Great place! An excellent example of what a real restaurant can offer for a dining experience

Great place. Might want to consider your dress code. Went there in sweatpants, and I didn't fit in.

Impeccable meal and service, with a price tag to match.

(Translated by Google) The local is easy to reach! The convenient transport connections make a jaunt quickly possible, I haven't been so impressed with an inn in a long time.

The court was brought up to speed. (Original) Das Local ist prima leicht zu erreichen! Die günstige Verkehrsanbindung macht eine Spritztour dorthin schnell machbar.Ich war schon lange nicht mehr so beeindruckt von einem Gasthaus.

Das Gericht wurde ungemein flott gebracht.

The service is excruciating slow for the price. Water and wine were not refilled quickly, always had to ask for them to be filled. Coats were not returned when we left the restaurant. Food was mediocre for the price.

Was alright

(Translated by Google) Peace, noble ambience, professional and friendly service - we have enjoyed lunch or dinner here for many years. The menu offers fine German and French cuisine. Today there was a veal tartare with vintage sardine and mustard fruit. Everything fit perfectly. The turbot to the celery puree was fortunately juicy but not as glassy as it is often cooked today. The dessert with caramel ice cream wonderful. Everything great - go there and enjoy! , (Original) Ruhe, edles Ambiente, professioneller und freundlicher Service - seit vielen Jahren geniessen wir hier gerne Mittag- oder Abendessen. Die Karte bietet gehobene deutsche und französische Küche. Heute gab es ein Kalbstartar mit Jahrgangssardine und Senffrüchten. Passte alles hervorragend. Der Steinbutt zum Selleriepüree war zum Glück saftig aber nicht so glasig wie es heute gern mal gekocht wird. Die Nachspeise mit Karamelleis wunderbar. Alles top - hingehen und geniessen! .
