👍👍 That was a delicious Saturday evening with 3x3 combination. 3 course surprise for three people. I saved 10 euros per person because we were served better dishes. The wine from Bordeaux between two seas was a delicious drop. I want to go there again ... 😊 People often mention service, Essen, good, Service, restaurant, delicious, great, sehr, nice, lecker,

    That place has some issues. Service is friendly in general, but somewhat erratic. We waited quite a while for our table but also for the first sip of wine… we had been 15 min. early for our reservation, but waited 30 min. until seated. The whole restaurant is slightly overheated and quite outdated. Tablecloth are outworn and pitted, table and ceiling lamps are full of stains and washed-up. The furniture had better days. The bathrooms need maintenance. Food was hit and miss. Some dishes quite oversalted. Poultry was dry. Fish was good and a point (they got that one right). All the side dishes were nothing to call home about. The sauces for meat and fish were exactly the same, except that one came with tarragon the other with chive. The mashed potatoes actually had a skin… It felt like time-travelling to the 90ies. Wines overpriced, the choices on their list were general wholesale items, so that wasn’t difficult to determine. No idea when or why they earned a Bib Gourmand, guess those people from Michelin should revisit. It definitely wasn’t good value for money, hence the two stars.

    Creative and delicious cuisines, perfect and professional service, lovely and private atmosphere. I've visited here twice; once for lunch and the other time for dinner. Both experiences were delightful and satisfying. This place simply deserves the price and 'Bib Gourmand' from Michelin.

    We came here to celebrate a birthday and spend a nice evening. We found the bistro via the Michelin guide. The service was amazing and absolutely unpretentious, the meals were extraordinary and the location is beautiful. You can feel that they do love what they are doing. A lovely place.

    Well I have to say we were slightly underwhelmed. Although they have an impressive track record of mentions in the Michelin guide, our visit was most ordinary. It might be due to our stopping by on a Monday night in the middle of July, but on slow nights such as these it is more important than ever to take care of your guests. Our hostess, which seemed to be running the restaurant, was very friendly and nice, but also very whimsical and a bit preoccupied with friends and other visitors. We were not in a hurry, but felt like we were not her priority at times. They were low on wine and the selection and knowledge was sub par. Food prices were a bit high for the main courses, but otherwise quite fair. The food itself is honest, French- inspired cooking. Plenty of salt, butter and flavour. Very tasty and fulfilling but not so creative. I expected more. Also some other German and middle eastern influences and we quite enjoyed or appetizers of hummus, salami, bread and a nice complimentary veal terrine. All in all, an enjoyable visit, let down by high expectations, some neglect in service and pricey main dishes. But the food and atmosphere is really good.

    Great food! This is among the few places we spent more than 3 hours. Absolutely delicious plates, worth the star. Atmosphere is so great - we felt like home. Thank you!

    A very nice restaurant with plenty of good ambiance and service with a personal approach! The food was great, not excellent. Still very recommendable.

  • 5/5 Rudolf van der B. 13 years ago on Google • 98 reviews
    Small with only 4 tables, but this is the restaurant my wife and I remember as our best culinary experience. The pheasant is something we still talk about. The wine was poured liberally, but fortunately the restaurant can organise an London cab.

  • 4/5 Vesna P. 3 years ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Uncomplicated bistro with a comprehensive French menu in a nice neighborhood away from the crowds. We were there on a hot summer evening, so dividing attention between the terrace and the restaurant was sometimes a stretch. Nevertheless, the staff was friendly.

    As with most, if not all, French restaurants that I've been to in several different countries, this place doesn't disappoint. The ambience, decoration and staff are all lovely. The service is excellent. And the food is obviously fabulous and delicious. There are enough wine options to satisfy most people but don't expect a whole book of options from around the world. Just make sure you book because you haven't got a chance of getting in without a reservation. Also make sure you have a German debit card or cash to pay as no credit cards or international debit cards are accepted.

    (Translated by Google) The inn is really enormously stylishly furnished. Not a cheap decoration, but the color was very nicely coordinated. The workforce was straightforward, neat and friendly. I found the bid particularly appealing. As far as I'm concerned, my husband and I have long since had the whole menu ordered up and down. The court was brought up to speed. (Original) Das Gasthaus ist wirklich enorm stilvoll möbliert. Keine billige Deko, sondern es war farblich sehr vieles ungemein hübsch auf einander abgestimmt.Die Belegschaft hat geradlinig, gepflegt und freundlich gearbeitet.Ich fand das Gebot besonders ansprechend.Was mich angeht glaube, mein Mann und ich, haben mittlerweile längst einmal die ganze Karte rauf und runter bestellt. Das Gericht wurde ungemein hurtig gebracht.

    (Translated by Google) A very fantastic restaurant! Great, cozy ambience, very attentive, personable but unobtrusive service and excellent food at fair prices. We had the 3 course surprise menu - it was to die for !! Great address in Cologne, definitely recommendable. (Original) Ein ganz fantastisches Restaurant! Tolles, gemütliches Ambiente, sehr aufmerksamer, sympathischer aber unaufdringlicher Service und ein exzellentes Essen zu fairen Preisen. Wir hatten das 3-Gänge Überraschungsmenü - es war ein Traum!!

    Great place with a great team! I just came for a glass of wine in the evening sun. The wine list is really good (I highly recommend a glass or two of Chablis) and the food looked delicious too. I will definitely come back for dinner.

    (Translated by Google) Capricorn supplied us with 6 courses of the current menu at home. It was delivered in a pot (soup) and in porcelain bowls / plates => top, almost without packaging waste. Every single dish has completely convinced our guests and us. Great taste, really no run-of-the-mill food. And everything is fresh. For the quality, the food was absolutely worth the price. We are happy to come to the restaurant after the lockdown. (Original) Capricorn hat uns zu Hause mit 6 Gängen der aktuellen Karte beliefert. Geliefert wurde im Topf (Suppe) und in Porzellan Schalen / Tellern => Top, quasi ohne Verpackungsmüll. Jedes einzelne Gericht hat unsere Gäste und uns voll überzeugt. Toller Geschmack, wirklich kein 08/15 Essen. Und alles frisch. Für die Qualität war das Essen seinen Preis absolut wert. Gerne kommen wir nach dem Lockdown auch mal in das Lokal.

    My partner and I enjoyed the food in this place. Everything was made with love and fine details. However the service was not very perfect. We enjoyed a lot the atmosphere, cosy and well illuminated with a lot of flower bunches.

    (Translated by Google) A really charming "hostess". The menu is always well-balanced, the quality of the ingredients is immaculate and the preparation is good. The five stars I like to forgive because of the cordial nature of the "lady of the house". (Original) Eine wirklich äußerst charmante "Gastgeberin".

    (Translated by Google) Enjoyable evening. Reservation just worked, the service was very friendly and the food came quickly despite the high occupancy. Great wine, excellent steak. In another dish, my companion praised the chanterelles. Nice toilets. The benches could offer a little more space, but the outdoor spaces are unbeatable. (Original) Angenehmer Abend. Reservierung hat einfach funktioniert, die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und das Essen kam schnell trotz hoher Auslastung. Wein super, Steak hervorragend. In einer anderen Speise lobte meine Begleitung die Pfifferlinge. Nette WCs. Die Bänke könnten ein wenig mehr Platz bieten, dafür sind die Plätze im Außenbereich unschlagbar.
