    (Translated by Google) Finally opened again. After "Et Fesch Hus" had closed several months, it is reopened since the 09.11.18. The new owners have pimped up the gastro area. Now everything makes a more modern and inviting impression. Quality and price continues to be right. In addition to the fish stall at the weekly market on the Sudermannplatz here is the best opportunity in the new town to buy fish. (Original) Endlich wieder geöffnet. Nachdem "Et Fesch Hus" mehrere Monate geschlossen hatte, ist es seit dem 09.11.18 wieder geöffnet. Die neuen Besitzer haben den Gastro- Bereich etwas aufgehübscht. Macht jetzt alles einen moderneren und einladenden Eindruck. Qualität und Preis stimmt weiterhin. Neben dem Fischstand beim Wochenmarkt auf dem Sudermannplatz ist hier die beste Gelegenheit in der Neustadt Fisch zu kaufen.

    Delicious seafood dinner! Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. At our table, we ordered the seafood soup, mussels, tuna steak, and spaghetti with shrimp. Everyone was super happy with their meal and our waitress was friendly and very accommodating of our lack of German. Highly recommend!

    Warm welcoming staff, even if they struggle to describe the wine they will try, involve everyone and have a laugh after from their unsuccessful attempts. Food is fresh, simple but delicious.

    Preparing fish and seafood can be tricky. The consistancy of the seafood meat is important; not too soft, not to plain, yet well cooked as well as taste good. Reefhouse proves why they might be the best in town!!! I was blown away by the dishes 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 On top of that, the service is kind and friendly. The interior is very simple yet cosy. I think one can also buy fresh fish because there is a fish display corner. It is a pricy place but it is worth every penny!!!! Definitely will go again 🤩

    Delicious fresh seafood dishes with an Italian flair! We tried the Tagliatelle with Lobster cream and the mixed grilled, both were tasty!

    Absolutely delicious! Run don’t walk to dinner at reefhouse!! We had the seafood platter for two. We asked to replace the tuna with grilled octopus and it was soooo good. The menu was only in German - but not to worry. The waitress brought the board to our table and translated the entire thing for us! Just fabulous service.

    Great!!! Seafood!!! We decide to have lunch at this restaurant and from the start to finish it was just a great time. I order for the Baby-Calamari “Aglio-Olio” and it was fresh and delicious then for the main dish I order Octopus " Aglio-Olio"' + Grillgemüse - I tell you what - if you like octopus order it!!! It was fresh and veggies was cooked on grill so great and add beautiful taste to octopus!!! We got limoncello as compliment from restaurant!!!

    Was there yesterday with my partner and we have the most amazing grilled fish dish. I loved the Grilled Tuna and shrimps!! For me as a big guy! I wanted to have an additional dish but sadly the kitchen was closing. Hospitality was just exquisite. (I assume the owner) was very polite and confident while recommending his food. The waitress also was very much friendly and also gave us a very nice complement that we never expect to have in a restaurant. (Little things matter sometimes 😀). I would definitely come back to Reefhous as I would recommend my circle and also everyone else to have such a delightful experience.

    (Translated by Google) Octopus rings bought for the visit, trying to prepare in the evening: Extremely disgusting smell, maximum inedible! Super rude on call, returning only on the same day possible! 1x and never again !!! (Original) Tintenfisch Ringe für den Besuch gekauft, am Abend versucht zuzubereiten: Extrem ekelhafter Geruch, maximal ungenießbar! Super unfreundlich bei Anruf, Zurückbringen nur am gleichen Tag möglich! 1x und nie wieder!!!

    Very tasteful, well cooked and fresh fishes in a nice restaurant. We enjoyed the mix dish and the soup. I highly recommend it. An improvement could be in the atmosphere. Instead of the loud discussions of the staff, the restaurant could provide some slow music that would perfectly fit with their wonderful wine.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad a tradition that is coming to an end! Where older women used to sell home-made fish specialties and were always ready for a chat, now the Mediterranean way of life has also arrived! Love the world open Cologne, but some tradition could stay calm! (Original) Schade wieder eine Tradition die zu Ende geht! Wo früher ältere Damen hausgemachte Fischspezialitäten verkauften und immer zu einem Plausch bereit waren, hat jetzt auch die mediterrane Lebensart Einzug gehalten !

    Taste is ok. But service is slow

  • 5/5 adrian t. 4 years ago on Google
    We've eaten here twice so far and both meals have been excellent. The USP is, of course, the freshness of the ingredients. But also the service is very good, the prices are reasonable, and the portion size is Germanic! I've also bought wet (fresh) fish here and that was excellent too. Definitely in my top five food outlets in Cologne.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a very random selection, a calm place during the wonderful madness of the 11/11 carnival. I did not expect an Italian menu, or a staff that spoke Italian and English better than German, and that was the first happy surprise. My husband and I shared and enjoyed a Tuna Tartar appetizer, Fresh and FABULOUS. For our main dishes we had Risotto de Mar and Grilled Octopus. It was one of the best meals we’ve ever had, (and we are over 60 and world travelers who eat out often). We sent a tip and our thanks to the kitchen, and the Chef came out to our table, so we could thank him in person. For dessert we shared Strawberry Panacotta (perfect) and a magnificent Zabaglione made with Marcella (vs a harsher cognac). The service was lovely. The bar good. This is a meal that will remain as a happy memory.

  • 4/5 Ralf T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. You will not get enough of the side dishes, as they are tasty and fresh but are really sparingly put on. The fish is fresh and is served abundantly - there are two reasonably sized salmon steaks for € 12. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a mixture of a fish stall and a traditional restaurant. Good food with drinks for 3 people for 50 € + 5 € tip. The one star of five stars is missing because it is a price compromise. But that shouldn't put anyone off trying it - we'll go there again (Original) Das preis-leistungsverhältnis ist absolut in ordnung. Man wird von den beilagen nicht satt, da diese zwar schmackhaft und frisch sind aber wirklich sparsam aufgelegt werden. Der fisch ist frisch und wird reichlich serviert - für 12€ gibt es zwei angemessen große lachssteaks. Die atmosphäre erinnert an eine mischung aus fischbude und gutbürgerlicher gaststätte. Gutes essen mit getränken für 3 personen für 50€ + 5€ trinkgeld. Der eine stern von fünf sternen fehlt weil es eben doch ein preis-kompromiss ist. Aber das sollte niemanden abschrecken es einmal zu versuchen - wir gehen da nochmal hin

  • 5/5 Kai S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious food, large portions and friendly service. We had the fish plate for 2 people. 3 different fish, gambas, babycalamari and 2 squid rings. Together with 2 drinks for 37 €. A toilet directly in the restaurant there was not really, but you could easily in pub 2 houses further. (Original) Sehr leckeres Essen, große Portionen und freundlicher Service. Wir hatten die Fischplatte für 2 Personen. 3 verschiedene Fische, gambas, babycalamari und 2 Tintenfischringe. Zusammen mit 2 getränkem für 37€. Eine Toilette direkt im Restaurant gab es tatsächlich nicht, dafür konnte man problemlos in Kneipe 2 Häuser weiter gehen.

    (Translated by Google) Yesterday I treated myself to the seafood risotto to go for lunch. The seafood was taken fresh from the counter before my eyes and processed within 10 minutes. The staff was very attentive and friendly. When I got home the food was still hot and to be honest I was a little surprised by the variety of seafood. It was quite salty but by no means over-salty, it didn't taste too fishy and above all it was deliciously juicy! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture. 🦐🦑🐙🐟🐚🦪 Conclusion: delicious! Price-performance ratio: € 13.90 for a decent, hot and colorful portion - good! (Original) Gestern habe ich mir zu Mittag das Meeresfrüchte Risotto to go gegönnt. Die Meeresfrüchte wurden vor meinen Augen frisch aus der Theke geholt und innerhalb von 10 Min verarbeitet. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Als ich zu Hause ankam, war das Essen noch heiß und ehrlich gesagt war ich ein wenig überrascht, von den vielen unterschiedlichen Meeresfrüchten. Es war recht salzig aber auf keinen Fall versalzen, es schmeckte nicht zuu fischig und vor allem war es lecker saftig! Leider habe ich vergessen ein Foto zu machen. 🦐🦑🐙🐟🐚🦪 Fazit: Lecker! Preisleistungsverhältnis: 13,90€ für eine ordentliche, heiße und bunte Portion - gut!
