    (Translated by Google) Hard to beat in insolence !! I've been to the Balthasar in Lindenthal many times, but after yesterday it was desinitive for the last time in my life. I had an appointment with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, we had an appointment to have a drink and talk and met at 7 p.m. A waiter assigned us a table outside in the evening sun and ordered two Kölsch. After we told the waitress nothing to eat and would like to have a few more drinks in the course of the evening, she informed us that this was not possible and that she would reassign the table in 10 minutes, but we (without table Pillows or similar) should be placed on a wall or should take a seat inside. The only strange thing was that out of 10 tables around us we ate at three and at all the others the guests only ordered drinks and no food. A lady even sat at one table all alone with a glass of wine and a book. Absolute indictment and no longer worth visiting the shop! The gastronomy was the industry that screamed the loudest because of the corona crisis, but Cafe Balthasar seems to be able to afford it !!! (Original) An Unverschämtheit kaum zu übertreffen!!!! Ich war schon oft im Balthasar in Lindenthal, aber nach gestern desinitiv das letzte Mal in meinem Leben. Verabredet war ich mit einem Freund den ich länger nicht gesehen habe, hatten uns verabredet um etwas zu trinken und zu erzählen und trafen uns um 19 Uhr. Von einer Kellner haben wir in der Abendsonne auch noch einen Tisch draußen zugewiesen bekommen und zwei Kölsch bestellt. Nachdem wir der Kellnerin auf Nachfrage mitgeteilt haben nichts zu essen sondern gerne noch ein paar weitere Getränke im Verlauf des Abends hätten, teilte sie uns mit das das nicht möglich sei und sie den Tisch in 10 Minuten anderweitig vergeben würde, wir uns aber (ohne Tisch Kissen o.ä.) auf eine Mauer setzten sollten oder drinnen Platz nehmen sollen. Seltsam war nur, dass von 10 Tischen um uns herum an drei gegessen wurde und an allen anderen die Gäste auch nur Getränke und kein Essen bestellt haben. An einem Tisch saß sogar eine Dame mit einem Glas Wein und einem Buch ganz alleine. Absolutes Armutszeugnis und kein Besuch mehr wert der Laden! Dabei war die Gastronomie doch die Branche die wegen der Coronakrise am lautesten geschrien hat, Cafe Balthasar scheint es sich aber erlauben zu können!!!

    The primary factor that makes guests enjoy a place is the service as your visit starts and end with it. The staff was a hit and miss (more a miss) that evening we went there. I've ordered the vegan Spaghetti Asian Bolognese, which sounded so promising. Turned out so bland! The two stars are for my friends meal, which was tasty - mussels and fries, and her wine (Grauburgunder).

    (Translated by Google) Breakfast is not worth it if you are hungry and expect to receive your food after ordering. Absolutely rude staff! If you want to have a tasty breakfast for your money you should go to: Where's Tom? You can get something for your money there !!! !!!!!!!Not recommended!!!!!!! (Original) Frühstücken lohnt sich nicht wenn man hungrig ist und erwartet sein Essen nach Bestellung auch zu erhalten.. Absolut unfreundliches Personal! Wer für sein Geld lecker frühstücken möchte sollte zu: Wo ist Tom gehen, dort bekommt man auch was für sein Geld!!! !!!!!!!Nicht empfehlenswert!!!!!!!

    Lovely cafe. I popped in for a coffee and a pancake, everyone spoke English and were extremely friendly and helpful. Pancake was tasty (the other food that was coming out also looked good) and the coffee hit the spot. If you're in the area, I recommend popping in.

    Tasty German/French/Fusion cuisine with friendly service. Looking forward to being able to eat there and not just have to bring it home to eat.

  • 5/5 Migèl S. 4 years ago on Google • 37 reviews
    A very lovely restaurant with excellent breakfast options. The restaurant has a very relaxed and modern setting. The staff and waiters are also very respectful. You can also sit outside on the porch which has infrared heating. I recommend this place for any occasion. Very pleased about the experience, many thanks to the staff!

    We were four students who wanted to have a brunch. We have never been treated like this by a waiter in our whole life. We have waited 20 minutes before the waiter deigned to take our order, then we wanted to have some tap water, he brought two glass of water for four people, he was not even able to bring us some water. After we finished we waited more than 40 minutes to pay the bill. This stupid waiter was walking just next to us without asking if we wanted to drink anything or if we wanted the bill. It's like if we never existed. I had to tell him that if the bill was not on our table in the next 5 minutes we would leave without paying. So suddenly, his colleague accepted to bring us the bill. Even if the food was ok and the price too, we will never go back to this restaurant. I am really disappointed by this experience, and this disrespectful waiter.

  • 5/5 Sylke H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Well organized in Corona times, as well as otherwise ... uncomplicated table reservation also possible on the same day at short notice. Fast, friendly service staff. Sensational, saucy breakfast variations and scrambling variations. We are here often. (Original) Gut organisiert in Corona Zeiten, als auch sonst...unkomplizierte Tischreservierung auch am selben Tag kurzfristig mgl. Schnelles, freundliches Service Personal. Sensationelle, keckere Frühstückvaristionen und Rühreivariationen. Wir sind hier öfters.

    (Translated by Google) We used to go to Balthasar often and with pleasure. Unfortunately, that changed in the post-corona period - the staff is rude or almost rude, the quality of the food is noticeably decreasing, so that one can no longer speak of a balanced price-performance ratio ... for that Disinfecting hands as well as a bit of bread with the meal (it used to be part of it) you are asked to go to the cash register - everything is kind of lousy, as the Cologne native says ... (Original) Früher waren wir oft und gerne im Balthasar. Leider hat sich das in der Post-Corona-Zeit geändert - das Personal agiert unfreundlich bzw. fast unverschämt, die Qualität des Essens nimmt zusehends ab, so dass man nicht mehr von einem ausgewogenen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sprechen kann... für das Desinfizieren von Händen sowie für ein bisschen Brot zum Essen (früher gehörte es einfach dazu) wird man zur Kasse gebeten - alles irgendwie läppsch, wie der Kölner sagt...

    (Translated by Google) At the recommendation of friends, we made reservations for your brunch and were so enthusiastic that we had breakfast with you the last time we visited Cologne. Everything we ordered was always tasty, fresh (especially the freshly squeezed orange juice <3) and lovingly presented. The service is also extremely friendly and very straightforward, especially when it comes to special requests or changes. We will be back definitely. (Original) Auf Empfehlung von Freunden haben wir bei Ihnen zum Brunch reserviert und waren so begeistert, dass wir beim letzten Köln-Besuch wieder bei Ihnen gefrühstückt haben. Alles was wir bestellt haben, war immer lecker, frisch (vor allem der frisch gepresste Orangensaft <3) und liebevoll angerichtet. Auch der Service ist überaus freundlich und sehr unkompliziert, vor allem wenn es um Extrawünsche oder Änderungen ging. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

    (Translated by Google) The Balthasar has been a permanent bank in Sülz for many years. Very tasty fresh menu, the schnitzel is awesome. The large aquarium through the back is a real pleasure for children and lets parents eat in peace ... Good selection of drinks. You can also sit outside in front of Balthasar, if the weather permits. Card payment possible. The mostly young staff could sometimes be a little more attentive. It's too loud from the kitchen (only sometimes), and sitting nearby can be a nuisance. All small things, overall a clear recommendation. (Original) Das Balthasar ist seit vielen Jahren eine feste Bank in Sülz. Sehr leckere frische Karte, das Schnitzel ist eine Wucht. Das große Aquarium hinten durch ist für Kinder eine helle Freude, und lässt die Eltern in Ruhe essen... Gute Getränkeauswahl. Man kann auch super vorm Balthasar draußen sitzen, wenn das Wetter es zulässt. Kartenzahlung möglich. Das zumeist junge Personal könnte manchmal etwas aufmerksamer sein. Aus der Küche ist es (nur manchmal) zu laut, und wenn man dort in der Nähe sitzt, kann es stören. Alles Kleinigkeiten, insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung.

  • 5/5 pumukl e. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great, great service. Selection of steaks could be better (no beef fillet). However, the Rib-Eye 300g was also very impressive. Lekka Kölsch. Nice location for families and small groups. The decor is nice, with a huge aquarium at the back. Price: Not cheap, but moderate ... well. Sparbrötchen go somewhere else. (Original) Super, super Service. Auswahl an Steaks könntw besser sein (kein Rinder-Filet). Das Rib-Eye 300g war jedoch auch sehr beeindruckend. Lekka Kölsch. Nette Lokation für Familien und Kleingruppen. Einrichtung nett, nach hinten mit riesigem Aquarium. Preis: Nicht billig, aber moderat ... naja. Sparbrötchen gehen halt woanders hin.
