    Today is my first day in Cologne and I chose the restaurant to have dinner. However, I didn't know that they don't accept credit card nor have changes for my EUR 500 note. To my surprise, they were not seem to be upset or angry. They told me: Welcome to Germany. You are invited tonight! I can't be more amazed. The foods were very good and the service was extraordinary. Definitely will come back. I couldn't ask for a better first day in the city.

    A French tapas restaurant. It offers classic French cuisine dishes in a small portion. Best to visit this restaurant with a group of friends or family members. About 3 to 4 dishes per person. Plenty vegetarian and vegan choices. It offers a wide variety of wine and desserts, too. Very relaxed atmosphere with friendly waiters ready to deliver the foods for you. Highly recommended.

    Super friendly staff, especially since this place is buzzing and usually extremely popular and busy. We wanted to sit outside - they put us on the waitlist and offered us drinks. We only had to wait 10-15 minutes. Food: delicious and creative French tapas. They recommend three per person to start with. We had 5 each and were very happy with our choices :)

    French style tapas with a wide variety. Quality wise quite good, tasty oriental style bread. Prices are ok, mid range. Service is unfortunately somewhat slow because they are often understaffed. Ambience and hygience could do better. Somewhat messy and not that clean if you look carefully. But its acceptable. Recommended if you are going with friends.

    Don’t recommend going if you have an intolerance or allergy. Allergy card is wrong, and despite notifying staff of severe allergy, they brought food that contained gluten. This can actually be very dangerous. Staff was well intended, but overall not a good experience. Also, didn’t help that we saw a mouse in the restaurant. Won’t go again

    One of the best restaurants I have ever visited. The quality of the food is wonderful, although on the expensive side.

    Top place, one of my favorites in the Sudstadt. Excellent atmosphere, very cozy place. Love to sit outside in the winter, they have an excellent heating system and blankets as well. The wine is very nice and the snacks as well. Definitely recommend it!

    (Translated by Google) There were seven of us at lunchtime and we are still thrilled. Had various delicacies, everything tasted excellent. Sarah and Tobias spoiled us and the dessert rounded off a brilliant day here. Excellent! Keep it up 😀 (Original) Waren mittags zu Siebt vor Ort und sind noch immer begeistert. Hatten diverse Leckerchen, alles schmeckte hervorragend. Sarah und Tobias verwöhnten uns und der Nachtisch rundete einen genialen Tag hier ab. Vorzüglich! Weiter so 😀

    (Translated by Google) We went on a mulled wine hike yesterday and had our first stop at the Bagatelle. We liked the mulled wine best and the conditions were very nice. We will do another lap and definitely stop by again after Corona. We recommend! And thanks for the great offer. (Original) Wir haben gestern eine Glühweinwanderung gemacht und hatten unseren ersten Stop an der Bagatelle. Der Glühwein hat uns am Besten geschmeckt und die Bedingung war sehr nett. Wir werden nochmal eine Runde drehen und auch nach Corona definitiv nochmal vorbeischauen. Sehr zu empfehlen! Und danke für das tolle Angebot.

    Very nice menu. Friendly staff even though we arrived close to closing time . Had an assortment of tapas plates and they were all very good.

  • 4/5 Dheeraj V. 9 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    Great ambience and location. On the southern side of the city at an intersection. Beer is great and all the dishes we had tasted decent. Although the portions were on the smaller side.

  • 4/5 GC S. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Food is pretty good. The baked sheep's cheese was a highlight as were the lamb meatballs. I'd probably skip the hummus and the fish cakes next time. The wine was exceptional and worth coming back for in its own right (Petit ModAT'mour, based on which I'd happily sample the rest of their offerings). Charming Südstadt feel and lovely staff make for a fantastic evening to catch up with friends.

    Bagatelle is a fantastic French tapas restaurant that offers a unique and delicious dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a menu that features a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes that are expertly prepared. Whether you're in the mood for a light snack or a full meal, you'll find something to love at Bagatelle. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of France in an intimate and sophisticated setting

    My partner has wanted to revisit this Italian tapas restaurant for some time. It didn’t disappoint. Food was tasty and arrived in good portions. Wine is quite reasonably priced. Special mention for our happy waitress who looked after us cheerfully.

  • 5/5 Agon S. 3 years ago on Google
    The place at the moment is packed. Nevertheless, the staff is super friendly, smiley and helpful. The service is fast and professional. So is the food. An excellent place.

  • 4/5 Milena P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food was really delicious and we were actually satisfied with the tapas. Unfortunately a point deduction because the service was slightly unfriendly. We wanted to share the tapas and therefore an extra plate for each person. They just didn't do that, for whatever reason. But anyway we would go again :) (Original) Essen war wirklich lecker und wir waren tatsächlich durch die Tapas satt. Leider ein Punkt Abzug weil die Bedienung leicht unfreundlich war. Wir wollten uns die Tapas teilen und deswegen je Person einen extra Teller. Das haben sie einfach nicht gemacht, warum auch immer. Aber trotzdem würden wir wieder hingehen :)

    Beautiful outdoor space. Quick service and delicious tapas. The fried Camembert is worth it.

  • 3/5 Li C. 1 year ago on Google
    Just normal, not as good as my friends say. And the portion of each food is very small. It takes long to get my food. Oh yes, they forgot my chocolate mousse.

  • 4/5 Enrique S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Service: was okay Food: good but a little too long waiting time (Saturday evening) No plates were served with the bagatelles. Since I shared the food with my girlfriend for two, this was very cumbersome and therefore annoying. (Original) Bedienung: war in Ordnung Essen: gut jedoch etwas zu lange Wartezeit (Sa. Abend) Zu den Bagatellen wurden keine Teller serviert. Da ich mit meiner Freundin zu zweit die Speisen geteilt habe, war dies sehr umständlich und somit störend.

  • 3/5 Aleksandra W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very tasty and well-priced. Awesome French tapas. The service however... pretty bad. The restaurant was half empty and yet we waited for a long time to be approached by the staff. When a waitress finally dropped menus on our table, she immediately run away. We were not explained how to order until 10 minutes later. We didn't receive everything that we ordered and had to cancel our last dish (we were 2 and ordered 9 dishes).

  • 5/5 Michael C. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants in my home town. Prices are reasonable but the food is fantastic. It can get quite busy so get there early if you can but a delicious place to eat and relax, especially in the summer.

  • 5/5 Josue L. 5 years ago on Google
    It has become one of my favourite restaurants. Has a chilled vibe and staff is helpful and friendly. You can show up without a reservation, but expect to wait for 10-15 min. Food is amazing and is served very fast. It is important to mention that they don't take credit cards such as visa or MasterCard, so make sure to take some cash. Even though the latter can be an inconvenient, you will definitely have a great experience.

    Bagetelle is great. Whenever someones visits we try to get a table here because you have to share the experience. Food is small and "easy" (to eat), but delicious and amazing. The feeling is very much Cologne-Südstadt. You will not regret your visit I promise <3

  • 5/5 Heinz M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great, french small plates, and it was all delicious. It's very busy but whilst we were waiting for a table we had a few Kölsch. The service was excellent and we really enjoyed our evening.

  • 5/5 Jonathan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent French tapas in the Südstadt of Cologne. The food is awesome, and the ambiance is great. I really loved the decoration and the high diversity of dishes offered. Of course, as every tapas restaurant, it's a bit more pricy than other places but it worth it. The only downside, if we can call it like that, is that the restaurant is victim of its own success : it's super crowded even though there is a huge amount of tables.

  • 5/5 Tania 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing restaurant! They have really good food, at a fair price and people working there are so friendly and nice! I love the location as well, was great! ☺️ definitely coming back 🙏🏽

  • 3/5 Lau K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Sometimes top sometimes flop, depending on how the waitresses are in the mood. In addition, you have to wait 1 hour for some bagatelles .... In addition, the owner / operator doesn't really know what he wants. At one point it is announced that no more mulled wine should be sold, but then nothing happens. It goes on happily ... Somehow that is inconsistent (Original) Mal top mal flop, je nachdem wie die Bedienungen gerade Lust und Laune haben. Zudem wartet man auf manche Bagatellen durchaus mal 1 Stunde....Zudem weiß der Besitzer / Betreiber nicht so recht, was er will. Einmal wird groß verkündet, dass kein Glühwein mehr verkauft werden soll, aber es passiert dann nix. Es wird fröhlich weitergemacht... Irgendwie ist das inkonsequent

    Lovely food as always. Casual lunch and dinner in a relaxed, lively location. Slightly slow service, but considering the number of people coming and going not a big deal.

  • 4/5 Volha S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is actually nice and good. The food is not traditional but very tasty. Only once I felt bad after eating.

    (Translated by Google) My girlfriend and I wanted to dine there at 5:00 p.m. during the week and were not allowed to sit next to each other in the empty restaurant due to pending reservations three hours later. Explanation of the unfriendly waitress: the subsequent effort to disinfect the place. No service orientation and apparently no desire to adhere to hygienic standards. (Original) Meine Freundin und ich wollten unter der Woche um 17:00 Uhr dort speisen und durften im leeren Restaurant nicht nebeneinander sitzen, aufgrund anstehender Reservierungen drei Stunden später. Begründung der unfreundlichen Kellnerin: der anschließende Aufwand den Platz zu desinfizieren. Keine Serviceorientierung und scheinbar auch keine Lust sich an hygienische Standards zu halten.

  • 1/5 Tina 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The waitress that evening was irritable and rude. Eating out isn't fun like that. I have to agree with previous speakers that the staff urgently needs training in terms of service. Certainly the worst bagatelle in Cologne.
