    Very cheap and for a reason. Patatas Bravas cooked in last years oil (and not a tomato, garlic olive oil or Chili within 100 yards), olives drenched in brine, Iberico that never saw an acorn in its short life and bread nicely toasted (to avoid the stale accusation). Literally rubbish. Avoid.

    Absolutely fantastic Spanish restaurant in Cologne. Have visited here numerous times in the past, great food, fantastic flavours and lovely, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?

  • 4/5 Soha N. 1 year ago on Google • 82 reviews
    Friendly personal. Good tapes and great steak! Fish was delicious! The only thing I did not like was that side vegetables were like boiled and tasted really really bad. It would be way better if they just grill it instead!

  • 5/5 chav s. 4 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Nice little tapas restaurant. Restaurant is divided between 2 entrances but both seem cozy. The food selection is great with various options both with meat and vegan friendly. Food is well prepared and present. The aioli, on warm bread, can fill you up because it's delicious. Some of the chicken dishes left a little to be desired. The food was good and i can't say there was anything that made me say 'wow, i want to come back for more of this.' Also, we had to ask for our bill a few times only to be brought the wrong one. Overall, good food, pretty good service, clean, well decorated, and good atmosphere.

    (Translated by Google) Great steaks, delicious fish and great aioli. We like to be guests here, not only because they serve really good food. The team has been the same for decades and welcomes you in a warm Cologne style in a Spanish atmosphere. Highly recommended! A request, many things are going differently due to Corona, the guys fight their way through bravely despite the conditions, bring a little patience Anyone who has been here knows that they deserve it. (Original) Tolle Steaks, leckerer Fisch und großartige Aioli. Sind hier gerne zu Gast, nicht nur, weil wirklich gutes Essen serviert wird. Die Mannschaft ist seit Jahrzehnten gleich und empfängt in herzlich kölscher Art in spanischem Ambiente. Sehr empfehlenswert! Eine Bitte, durch Corona läuft vieles anders, die Jungs kämpfen sich trotz Auflagen tapfer durch, bringt ein bisschen Geduld mit 😉 Wer hier schon war, weiß, dass sie das verdienen.
