A decent dinner but you need to be patient since the service is slow: Restaurant TeaBox (13. October 2021)
The TeaBox is another case of places you’d not walk in from the outside but most likely will enjoy when you’re there. The place is super simple but functional and, therefore, nice. The service is definitely way too slow though – you definitely need to be patient to get your food. Not sure it depended […]
Delicious Peruvian dishes in a semi-appealing atmosphere: Restaurant Miguelitos (12. October 2021)
Sometimes the outside can be deceiving – if you just walk by, you probably wouldn’t have entered Miguelitos as the place is super small and not really all too inviting in terms of interior design. However, if you have spent some time googling and figure out that the place has a rating of 4.6 on […]
Great food and wine pairing with a cool head waiter: Restaurant Hanse Stube @ Excelsior Hotel Ernst (1. September 2021)
I love meeting friends I haven’t seen in years and this was one of these occasions and he picked a lovely restaurant. Although it started with a few ‘complications’ like me running late from Frankfurt so we only were able to order around 9.15pm where they would usually not serve a five course tasting menu […]
A lovely place with a food sharing concept: Restaurant HENNE. Weinbar (25. August 2021)
It’s funny how things sometimes coincide – my friend picked a restaurant and my research reconfirmed it right away. Great minds think alike, and I must say that it is a place definitely worth visiting. The concept is kind of a shary concept so you would actually order a few plates to share so we […]
Delicious Asian food bargain but overstrained service personnel: Restaurant Nam (24. August 2021)
It is not easy to find a restaurant on a Thursday evening in Cologne without booking a table in advance. Luckily, the Nam still had availability – only inside, but at least. I went for the “Goi Cuon (fresh summer rolls, filled with prawns, pork roll, rice noodles, salad, herbs) and home-made peanut tamarind dip” […]
Very basic food and far from friendly service: Restaurant Papa Joe’s Biersalon Klimperkasten (23. August 2021)
Sometimes you just want something really simple and then a typical German place like the “Restaurant Papa Joe’s Biersalon Klimperkasten” is just perfect. The “three little pork meat escalopes with delicious German potato salad” (EUR 15.50) were delivered rather quickly and were absolutely okay. The potato salad is to be forgotten but the pork meat […]
Simple food but great place for a quick lunch grab: Restaurant Sticky Fingers (23. August 2021)
If you are looking for something quick and where you get all dirty fingers, the Sticky Fingers is perfect. It’s somewhat more of a counter and order place and not really a restaurant in the classical sense but still somehow. I ordered the “Sticky Cheeseburger (cheddar, ice berg salad, red onions, tomato)” (EUR 12.30) with […]
A wanna-be tapas bar with ambiguous pricing: Restaurant Meister Gerhard (18. August 2021)
The Meister Gerhard is a place which wants to see that your either recovered from Covid, tested or fully vaccinated. And frankly, that’s good this way. Especially since you’re relatively close to other people when you’re inside. The place is German but tries to come across as a tapas bar – and doesn’t fully succeed […]
