    A lovely traditional German pub/restaurant with a limited but delicious selection of national cuisine. The guy who served us is super friendly, even though he doesn't speak English well enough we managed to communicate. Keep in mind no card payment, had to walk 10 mins to the nearest bank ATM to withdraw. There is a euronet ATM 2 mins always but it's crazy expensive, not worth it.

    (Translated by Google) Great Schnitzel !! Not so hot schnitzel for years ... and therefore 6 in 7 days ;-) Jupp is a great guy! Can be reached in 10 minutes from the cathedral. 1 min from Hansaring (S / Tram). As a business traveler and guest at MotelOne, it was evening relaxation for us! Tip top shop! @Jupp: next time the evaluation will cost a schnitzel with chanterelles ;-) (Original) Spitzen Schnitzel !! Seit Jahren nicht mehr so geile Schnitzel gefuttert .... und deshalb gleich 6 innerhalb von 7 Tagen ;-) Jupp ist ein prima Typ! In 10 min vom Dom zu erreichen. 1 min vom Hansaring (S/Tram). Als Dienstreisender und Gast im MotelOne war es für uns die abendliche Entspannung ! Tip Top Laden! @Jupp: die Bewertung kostet beim nächsten Mal ein Schnitzel mit Pfifferlingen ;-)

    Me and my family ate here. The Wienerschintzels were really dry and quite tasteless. And they charged us 11,20 EUR (!!) for a large bottle of still water. We ordered one without asking the price upfront and where literally shocked when we received the bill.

    Typical german place if you want to have authentic food. I really enjoyed their wine and they had a really good Jägerschnitzel. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. You get something for your money here. Would come back again!

    Perfect spot for one night in Köln. Service was excellent. Staff are more than willing to navigate the small language barrier for English speakers and are good sports about you having a try at German. Schnitzel was delicious and beers were decent and refilled promptly. We were warned that we would have to wait for food, as every seat in the restaurant was full, this said food came out within 30mins.

    (Translated by Google) Accidentally visited then often stayed seated. At first we looked for something nearby. After the first evening it became our dinner place. The hosts are super friendly and will provide you with everything you need in no time. Are also very inclined to chat. The prices are more than fair for the portions and when you hear your schnitzel tapped fresh in the kitchen, you are simply happy;). Anytime for any occasion. (Original) Aus versehen besucht dann des öfteren sitzengeblieben. Zuerst haben wir irgend was in der Nähe gesucht. Nach dem ersten Abend ist es dann zu unserem Abendessensplatz geworden. Die Wirtsleute sind super freundlich und versorgen einen in kürzester Zeit mit allem, was gewünscht wird. Sind auch zu einem Schwätzchen sehr geneigt. Die Preise sind zu den Portionen mehr als fair und wenn Du dein Schnitzel in der Küche frisch geklopft hörst, bist Du einfach glücklich ;). Jederzeit zu jedem Anlass wieder.

  • 5/5 Sandra V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) From our point of view, a meeting in the restaurant is absolutely recommendable. The tables from the restaurant were cleaned perfectly and the armchairs were extremely comfortable. The waiters are always very nice and authentic. I enjoy that every time I visit, as it has never happened to us that a dish did not come warm to the table. The selection of drinks also leaves nothing to be desired. (Original) Aus unserer Sicht ist ein Treff in den Lokal rundweg zu empfehlen.Die Tische vom Lokal wurden perfekt geputzt und die Sesseln waren überaus bequem.Die Kellner sind jedes Mal zutiefst nett und überaus verbindlich. Das macht mir bei jedem Besuch voll viel Freude.Hier ist es uns noch nie passiert, dass ein Gericht nicht warm auf den Tisch gekommen ist. Die Auswahl der Getränke lässt ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen.
