The food was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed our meal, however, sadly the service did not live up to the same expectations. We were waiting 15-20 minutes before someone came over to take our order. We then waited a further 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. This is to be expected in a busy restaurant but we were the only people inside. Upon payment we were quoted €122 for 4 meals and drinks. We were then (rather forcefully) asked why we were not leaving a tip. The server seemed rude and only interested in us leaving him a tip. Looking further at the menu we realised we had been overcharged by almost €20. We disputed this with the server and he showed us the receipt where we had been charged €18.90 for 3 coca colas. On the menu it stated a Coke costs €3.20. We left rather disappointed, which was a shame as the food was spot on.

One of the best pork knuckles ever! Tender tasty pork wrapped in crispy crackling, amazing flavours. If you can fit it in, the apple strudel with vanilla custard and ice cream is delicious. It's a great spot to eat down by the river. The service is great and the food is excellent. It also has a pretty good selection of beer and other drinks.

I felt insecure with the environment in this restaurant. A group of drunk men were shouting inside and harassing people. Ended up not eating anything there at all… Very bad frequented, i don’t recommend going there especially with family.

What is a customer? my girlfriend and I ordered 2 Käsespätzle and 2 glass of Rose'. Käsespätzle arrived immediately, the wine not (even after asking for the second time). Just when we have finished to eat the waiter who took the order realized that wine was not there. at this point I told him it's too late and we have asked to pay. After paying the wine magically appeared, we honestly thought that was offered (in my country when you make a mistake you try to make the customer happy) in that case the waiter told me "you must pay". this is just bad service, we won't step in again. 2 gasses of wine won't have changed their monthly income on the other side they've lost 2 customers.

Food overpriced . 9 euros plus for still water , Service takes forever. Do not go here. Much better food close by. Even chips were €6 plus

(Translated by Google) We were in the beer garden today, no sign of corona protection measures. Neither tables nor chairs are cleaned here. You don't really feel comfortable here. The waitresses are not exactly friendly. (Original) Wir waren heute im Biergarten, von Coronaschutzmaßnahmen keine Spur. Hier werden weder Tische noch Stühle gereinigt. Man fühlt sich hier nicht wirklich wohl. Die Bedienungen sind nicht gerade freundlich.

Stopped for a beer with my wheel chair bound girlfriend. I was there for about 25 minutes. Twice the staff approached our table trying to give us drinks we hadn't ordered. It all started to all feel a bit weird so I asked for the bill. The waitress stated that we had to ask her colleague. Weird, but we didnt say anything. Her colleague came to us and said "two more beer?", as if he didnt just hear us asking for the bill. I stated that I wanted to pay. He seemed to react poorly to this but gave us the bill. I pulled out my card to which he said "only euro". I started counting coins to which he, in a huff, said "fine, this way". I followed him to the desk, where another customer was paying by card. He then paused before typing the numbers into the card machine and said "Tip?". I pretended not to understand what he was asking as he repeated some variation of the phrase "tip" repeatedly over the next minute, before finally just typing in what was required. He huffed and puffed through this whole experience. I honestly dont know if they thought they could milk us because we're British tourists, or my girlfriend's disabiliy, but I would avoid like the plague.

I don’t usually write negative reviews because I worked in a restaurant and know it’s a tough business. However, if I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would. My wife is pregnant and was very hungry, so we decided to eat here. We ordered our food quickly. After waiting for over 45 minutes, we asked about our food order multiple times. They told us it would be out soon. Another 45 minutes passed and we still didn’t have our food, so we decided to leave. Upon trying to pay for our drinks with the host, it turns out our waiter never even put our food order into the system. Of course, they forced us to pay our drink bill and charged us the full amount. The only excuse from the waiter and staff was that it was “really busy today.” Do not eat here if you are hungry as they don’t have enough staff working to service the large number of tables they have put at the restaurant.

Like the combination of food. It was tasty, food was prepared fast and the beer was really nice 😊

I just came this place with my guests and I thought that we would have a nice time but unfortunately was very bad experience. The old woman who works in the toilets is extremely impolite and passively aggressive. My wife had stomach pain after having her meal (pork leg). I will never go back to this place and I honestly don’t recommend it.

Real good food atmosphere is real nice next to Rhein. But I really don't understand a restorant serving beer and other alcohols charging their customer for toilet. Do I have to pay 50c each time I go for toilet? Sorry, but this is a deal breaker for me.

Lot of choice of food and drink. We stopped here for a small dinner after spending a lot of the day snacking our way around the city. Service was good. They were showing sports on the TV's if that's your thing.

Might just be the worst service I’ve ever experienced. The restaurant was severely understaffed; it took ten minutes just to get a waiter’s attention to order, I never got the water I ordered, the food took forever, and it took 25 minutes of me asking waiters for the check before it came. Unless the restaurant employs more waiters, it’s not worth the decent food.

The food was very good and the service very quick but the waitress (man) was rude and not attentive. It seems he was annoyed with any question and he did not care about his job but he made sure to ask tip to everyone (kind of forcing people to do so). It is a pity as everything was good except the service.

Food was really tasty. Came quick. However waiter that was serving us was very rude and wasn't attentive. He then asked for a tip, which I kindly declined and then made a remark to his colleague in German while I was stood next to him.

Great experience! Lovely atmosphere and great food for a reasonable price. Nevertheless drinks were extremely expensive for the size and they don’t have tab water, which was a little disappointing

To my knowledge this is the best, nicest and most individual beer garden in Cologne. They have good food, too.

Good, sweet, fruity currywurst. Might be a bit spicy if you aren't used to mild-medium curry. Great view of the Rhine and waterfront. Good service.

We wanted authentic Cologne food and found it here. Very tasty food, I absolutely loved the desert, very friendly and warm atmosphere. Will definitely come again :-)

Very busy Sunday afternoon. However, the waiter came fairly quickly. The burgers were juicy and got lots of fries with the meal, well worth the money. The only thing I would say is the burgers could have been a bit warmer. Service was good lots of staff on. Atmosphere was nice to look out the river front.

Was visiting Cologne for the day from Amsterdam on 6 January on my first trip abroad with my partner. We were looking for somewhere to try currywurst on recommendation from my auntie, and stopped here before catching a train back. Lovely, and the roast potatoes were lovely too! We had some time so decided to try some appelstrudel which was also very good. Staff were friendly toward us and English was very good.

I highly recommend coming here especially on a nice evening! It sits direct on the Rhein River! You can sit out on the tables in front of the restaurant. The food is very good, we had Sauerbraten that came with red cabbage and dumplings, incredible!! The salad was also really good! The Kolsch bier is so tasty and a local treat! The service is awesome! The atomosphere is relaxed and fun. I would not miss this place to eat, because I was so happy to eat here!

The restaurant is nice enough, nothing fancy. It was very busy, but the staff managed well. Food was okay. The toilet was paid for patrons which has never happened to me before and left me a bit miffed. The lady collecting the fee was a bit condescending and did not speak English.

Food was great and a lot. But we waited over half an hour for service after the meal. Others got served or could pay but we were ignored.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Die Speisen ein Genuss zu humanen Preisen. Sehr empfehlenswert die sehr leckere Kartoffelsuppe. Speisekarte biete eine sehr gute Auswahl. Auch Speisen für den Hunger zwischendurch.

A great place to sit and spend an evening. The food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and good. There was quite a wait for the food but we weren't in a rush so it didn't bother us.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Leider manchmal sehr voll mit Wartezeiten

Very good food, options of dining inside and outside for the time being. Lots of history on the walls in form of pictures of many state leaders during meetings. Even Willy Brandt and Breshnev at a bad hair day

A lovely restaurant overlooking the rhine and about a 10 min walk from the cathedral. Good choice of food and drink. Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) bit expensive (Original) bischen teuer

(Translated by Google) Outstanding! Great service, great food at a great price-performance ratio! (Original) Hervorragend! Tolle Bedienung, tolles Essen in einem super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!!!

Great flavor on all the dishes! We had the Salat Tagliata, the schnitzel, and the Kanzler Filet, all cooked perfectly with great flavor! Fast, friendly service, will come again!

I do not recommend that place. The weiter was rude and not interested about us. Cannot use their tablets to place our order… kitchen was closed before 10pm and there was not gin and tonic in bar!

Good food👌 I got schnitzel with mushroom sauce which I recommend.

(Translated by Google) Food very tasty. Service was ok too. (Original) Essen sehr lecker. Service war auch in Ordnung.

Really enjoyed this place. Good beer and great food, and inexpensive as well. Stayed overnight right down the road prior to heading to Oktoberfest. Would definitely recommend sitting outside if possible, great views of the Rhine while you enjoy good company

Average food and we experienced moody, forgetful staff. I had a classic flammenkuchen. It was very greasy and salty. A big step towards cardiovascular disease! The restaurant has an amusing theme for people interested in politics. Prices are quite reasonable.

Super Lage und einfach leckeres Essen. Die Speisekarte ist auf Grund Corona etwas reduziert, trotzdem eine gute Auswahl dabei. Wir hatten Schnitzel, Currywurst und Käsespätzle. Alles sehr lecker. Das Personal ist typisch Kölsch. Ein bisschen flappsig hier und da, aber trotzdem sehr sehr nett.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, extremely long waiting times and unfriendly wait staff, so I prefer to go to another restaurant with friendly staff (Original) Leider extrem lange Wartezeiten und unfreundliche Bedienungenda gehe ich lieber in ein anderes Lokal mit freundlichen Mitarbeitern

Perfect located to the Rhine. Waiters are friendly and fast.

The Ibaiama pork was glorious, tender with plenty of flavour, and the steak was juicy and flavourful while being crispy on the outside. Pan fried potato accompanying the dishes were perfect and full of flavour. Draught beer was very nice too. The servers were a bit absent when we were ordering but overall service was good.

Delicious and large portions. Nice place by the river.

Decent food and beer. Service was quick and friendly. Portions were enormous, nobody at my table finished their plate!

Nice place with excellent staff

I was in Cologne on my own for one night and decided to grab dinner here. The outside area has a great view over the river and there was a band playing right next to the tables so there was a great atmosphere. The staff were nice, and very patient while I practiced my German on them (even helped me get the right pronunciation of some words). Food was good value and yummy, and I got to try some of the famous Kölsch. Perfect for a solo traveller on a budget.

The last time I visited the Ex-Vertretung must have been years ago. I was back in Cologne so I wanted to give it a try again. The food is still great, good service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Fun place in Martinswinkel near the Rhine. Nice outdoor seating area, good for enjoying a cold kölsch and people watching. I can recommend the schnitzel. And the strongest Irish coffee I’ve ever had

Found this whilst looking for a riverside restaurant. Splendid atmosphere including a group of OAP buskers! Good enough for us to go back the following evening. Just a great way to spend a hot summer evening.

Nice location friendly service is good

Good food, friendly efficient service, reasonable prices. The goulash soup is good and tasty, I recommend you try.

Interesting place, great food & good beer !

The place is nothing special. They could play some music instead of listening to a tv somewhere. I ordered a classic flammkuchen. The bacon was extremely salty and the quality of the ingredients left a lot of room for improvement. The cheese and sour cream were very greasy.

Food is good, good portions, not expensive, but don’t come here for good service. Waiter greeted us grumpy, before we sat down and saw the menu he asked what we wanted to order. We told him we we’re here to lunch and that we were gonna look in the menu. His answer was again grumpy “well there they are” and walks away. When we wanted to pay he told us “cash only”, cash we didn’t have for a full menu. He walked away and said he’ll be back. He comes back, says “follow me” walks 2meters and there is no trouble at all paying by card 😳😱 wt*?! We were gobsmacked of what just happened. Utterly strange
