bRauns essen & trinken - Köln

Bar & grill

👍👍 Update: Been there again, beautifully decorated for Christmas. Solid Slavic cuisine! After a few slight failures when it came to restaurants (see profile), we went to bRauns. Recommended by a neighbor 😊 So the bRauns is somehow a mix of a pub and a restaurant. The menu wasn't that huge, but the foo...

👍👍 Big recommendations for this restaurant and bar. Very friendly, nice environment, excellent food. Currywurst is really nice and a bit different as it is served with a salad.

Rosenrot

European restaurant

😐 We were four this evening. Positive is the friendliness of the service and the atmosphere. I had ordered the price most expensive dish of the card; the rump steak. Unfortunately, I am not convinced as to the taste of the meat. Too little character, too much superfluous fat. As a substitute side d...

😐 Die ersten drei Bestellungen waren super, die letzten beiden waren leider eine Enttäuschung. Sucuk Pizza mit nochmal extra Sucuk bestellt weil für unseren Geschmack immer zu wenig drauf war (3,50€ extra gezahlt), trotzdem war genauso wenig Sucuk drauf wie sonst auch. Boden zu trocken, kaum Käse drau...

TapaVinho im Fertig

Restaurant

🫤 Compared to the early days of this house, when the press was almost overwhelming, it has diminished considerably over time. Clear plus point: great staff. Everything else is normal, average, carelessly done and not worth mentioning. Given the competition in the immediate area, something should be do...

👍 So to be honest this just wasn't very special to me it didn't stand out in lots of ways. The food was ok and the atmosphere was quiet because there weren't many people there when I visited. The service was really good though. This one girl she gave me her number was extremely friendly and she basica...
