Café de Paris Cologne in Köln

Very good food (fish soup & basil pasta), attentive service, nice atmosphere. Priced a little higher.

Excelent service and food. The best brulee i've ever tryed. Top. Recomending .

Now a classic in the heart (Häz) of Cologne (Kölle). There is always something to see here. The food and wine are good. As a France fan, I only definitely know the Nicoise salad differently. The creme brulee is great!

We only had one drink and unfortunately had to wait a long time. The waitress was very friendly, but everything was a bit poorly organized. I also find it very strange these days to find a lady in the toilet with “little plates”. This is service and has no place in a restaurant...

The selection of vegetarian spreads and toppings was varied and tasted really good. However, the quality of the rolls was rather mediocre and unfortunately there weren't enough rolls to really enjoy the many spreads and toppings. The selection of drinks was also disappointing, not very diverse and unsatisfactory in taste. However, the staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. The toilet area was clean and looked well maintained, however there was a lack of good ventilation which resulted in an unpleasant smell.

Very tasty, as always ☺️🤌🏼 Friendly staff.

A little expensive but very tasty exceptional food. We were there for breakfast and everyone enjoyed it. Is still recommended.

Top service and very good food. The salad with tuna fillet and the shrimp are highly recommended. The waitress was very attentive and knows her job.

Super nice cafe One of the hottest cafes in Cologne

Lots going on, but somehow very interesting.

Staff not blessed with warmth, food and drinks a bit too expensive, but great interior design and ambience. My dish was the CroqueCologne - surprisingly quite large and relatively tasty.

Delicious food. Great selection of red wines.

A really cute restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. I always enjoy coming back here when I'm in Cologne.

Monday morning: Waitress - late 30s/early 40s - welcomed me and my daughter taciturn and grumpy Food: ordered a small breakfast. The decorative cress came with an inedible white substance. I spoke to another waitress: it was paper from the packaging. No accommodation; she took the cress and just left. Ambience: great Pay: I mentioned the situation with the cress. The waitress described above then said that it was only cotton wool that the cress grew in. No goodwill, nothing! Therefore no tip. As I was leaving, the unfriendly waitress ironically shouted after me with malice and contempt: bye, have a nice week. Never again! Unfortunately, this café is also unfriendly for children!

One of the best restaurant visits I've had in a long time. Price-performance ratio really matches here. There were four of us and we were looked after all evening by an extremely friendly and attentive waitress. We ate starters, main courses and desserts. Of course also a few delicious wines. All in all it was a perfect evening. Thanks for that.

The location is beautiful and always busy, so waiting times are long.

Stylish and high-quality furnishings. Surprisingly quiet and slightly cool air-conditioned Fast and professional service. Unfortunately no initiative was shown when not all the ingredients were available. Delicious and special.

The Café de Paris is located in the middle of Cologne city center. The location is still known to long-established Cologne residents as 4Cani. An illustrious crowd meets in the Café de Paris. The atmosphere is very stylish and yet cozy. The map is extensive but not overloaded. From oysters to champagne to citizens and a small salad: there is a dish to suit every budget. It's fun to put a little effort into your outfit to do justice to the stylish ambience.

Salad for 17.90, mini portion and unspectacular if you were used to the chicken salad from 4cani! If you want bread with your salad you can get it for 2.50! Never again

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food

Very small portions and nothing special

Our favorite hotspot in Cologne! ☕🍰 Great coffee, delicious snacks and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing or for a meeting. The team is always friendly, and every now and then you even meet a celebrity or two! 🥐✨ Absolutely recommended!

Food was good. Cashew pesto could have been a little more seasoned. The fries are very good. Prices a bit high. Ambience outside is a bit loud, but that doesn't bother everyone. Reservation is better.

@Champagne.koeln Thanks for the lovely afternoon. Greetings Pietro 🌹

Overpriced! Food was served lukewarm and bland. There are other, much better restaurants in Cologne.

Very tasty food, friendly staff. Always my pleasure.

Super nice restaurant, friendly staff and the food tastes very good.

Bad business practice! I wanted to reserve a table for 10 people for the beginning of November this year. The website shows that this can only be done by email and not via the online booking portal. No sooner said than done. When I didn't get any response to my email after more than two weeks, I called to make a reservation by phone. I was then told that it would be best to do this by email... When I objected that I had already done this, they took my contact details and told me that the boss in charge (only he seems to make such reservations to be able to) will contact me as soon as possible! Now almost a week has passed and nothing has happened... Chapeau, I hope for you that this was an exception and not the rule! We'd rather eat somewhere else now as this kind of behavior really doesn't make you want to eat more!!!

I was invited by my colleague because he had already stopped by the café with friends. We sat outside, which was very pleasant, the street is partly closed to drivers. Service was very friendly, not intrusive, just great. The food not only looks good, it is very tasty and worth the price. The dessert was a dream “Lavercake with pistachio ice cream”. I can only recommend it. I, we would like to come back. Keep it up!

Its very nice cafe. I like to go there wth everyone that they come to the Germany Outside is also so cook i think its so nice in summer Oyster is also cool i think u have to order it

Uns war nicht bewusst, dass es sich um das ehemalige „4Cani“ handelt…, hui, was waren wir lange nicht mehr da… Wir wurden sehr positiv überrascht! Erst mal zu „unserer“ Servicekraft: Unfassbar freundliche, aufmerksame Person (wir wissen nicht, wie sie heißt…, sie kommt aus Paraguay). Sie versteht wirklich ihren Job, sowohl menschlich, wie auch fachlich! Und nun zum Genuss: Von den Austern, über den „Gambas Pil Pil“, dem „Tuna-Tataki“ bis zum Kalbsfilet, dem Black Angus Steak und den Trüffelpommes ein absoluter Genuss! Und dann zum Schluss, eine Crème Brûlée, wie wir sie noch nie gesehen haben (auf einem flachen Teller serviert mit mega viel Zuckerkruste) - Hammer!!! Wir haben nicht damit gerechnet, an diesem Abend so gut zu essen, nachdem wir in unseren ursprünglich ausgewählten französischen Restaurants keinen Tisch mehr bekommen haben. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! Danke, für den perfekten Abend!

We weren't aware that it was the former "4Cani"... wow, it's been a long time since we were there... We were very positively surprised! First of all, about “our” service person: incredibly friendly, attentive person (we don’t know what her name is… she comes from Paraguay). She really understands her job, both personally and professionally! And now for the enjoyment: From the oysters to the “Gambas Pil Pil”, the “Tuna-Tataki” to the veal fillet, the Black Angus steak and the truffle fries, an absolute pleasure! And then finally, a crème brûlée like we've never seen before (served on a flat plate with a huge amount of sugar crust) - awesome!!! We didn't expect to eat so well that evening after failing to get a table at our originally chosen French restaurants. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for the perfect evening!

An absolutely horrible dining experience. Took so long to be seated even after the server seated two people who walked into the store after we did and completely ignored the sign that said “wait here to be seated.” He said he “simply forgot” before we got seated. We had to wait a long time for someone to take our orders but the rude lady immediately pointed out that I could not have my reusable water bottle on the table and that I had to put it on the chair next to me so it was not visible (?). I have never had such an experience from all the restaurants I’ve dined in. We had to wait an insane amount of time to get our food (that was very simple to make). Over 45 minutes. When the food came, it was very average and simple. The egg was far too runny for sunny side up and felt underdone. The price was extremely overpriced. Paying 30 euro for a coke and two breakfasts (pictured below). All of which could be made with a fraction of the selling price. What put insult to the injury was when we asked to pay and the waitress said yes and then proceeded to go outside, play smiling faces with a baby in a stroller and go to rearrange cutlery. We waited another 10-15 minutes before getting up and going to her to pay there and she said “so you want to pay?!?!” She begrudgingly put the amount into the machine so we could pay and leave. Not coming back, the value for money, disregard for the customer and terrible service is appalling. But of course, I, the paying customer, is being unprofessional by having my water bottle on the table. They can feel free to be as irresponsible and rude as they please.

My regular restaurant in Cologne - I love this place. There is really good food, great waiters and a lovely atmosphere in Cologne's best location. The following recommendations: - Be sure to try the prawns as a starter. Can also be easily shared. - Main courses are all extremely tasty. Pasta is also good, but not as good as the other main courses - I would therefore advise against pasta and go for the other great dishes :) I would like to give extra praise to the waiters again! They are all really nice and attentive - you just feel right at home.

Good breakfast. Super nice atmosphere👍🏻 Very nice service 👌

Nice cafe. But it could be a little cheaper

A great brasserie with a great and unusual menu.. The portions are large and correspond to the price performance. The atmosphere is very appealing and the service was friendly. Tip: Be sure to try fish soup

The service is not acceptable for this price-performance ratio. The location is extremely attractive, in one of the most sought-after districts of Cologne. The ambience also stands out, the food and coffee are prepared almost perfectly. However, the guests are guided to their seats without a word and have to wait quite a long time for the menus (which, by the way, are also handed out without a word). The waitress comes after 20 minutes and looks at you without saying a word. You are not wished “bon appetit”. A no go in gastronomy! After the guests pay the bill, the employees don't even say goodbye. I don't think you have to be a verbal acrobat, but the basics of communication are still part of it. You can build on that, right? Unfortunately, this is very weak and not justifiable to customers.

We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking through the city. We wanted to grab something to eat and it looked nice. It was a big menu, but everything tasted fresh. We ordered 'Sommer Bowl' with tofu, the 'Cheeseburger Monaco' and a steak (children's portion). It was all delicious and the waitress was very friendly. Our son enjoyed his steak, which was cooked perfectly.

A waiter in this place was insulting and swearing at LGBTQ people by saying ‘disgusting faggots (geys) were walking for pride around here’. So rude and disturbing! Not humanistic. I never go there again.

Nice atmosphere and really good location. But the service on the day we went there was a bit faulty. I order the lava cake and after waiting for more than 20 min, a Creme Brule arrived. So I mentioned it wasn't my order and had to wait 20 more minutes for the correct one to reach the table. It happened again with something else we requested, among other small details. I found the food to be a bit pricy, but the place and the staff was nice!

Very nice restaurant, friendly service and excellent apple tart with the drink. 🙂👍

Nice Cafe with decent breakfast and good coffee options. A little expensive, but the service makes up for it!

There are better things in life!

We ate at Café de Paris with nine people. I really liked the ambience until the light went out at 7pm. It was too dark in our corner, but that's the only criticism. Starting with the service, which was really top. We never had to wait long to order and the drinks came quickly. We also received professional feedback on our questions about individual dishes. But most importantly, of course, the food was perfect. The portion size is definitely sufficient and everything was prepared to perfection. In my opinion, the slightly higher price level is justified. I can only recommend Café de Paris!

Had a very good impression at first, however, after we were shown to a table, we were ignored for a long time and also had to wait an unusually long time for our drinks, even though there wasn't much going on and the three waiters we could see were just milling around stood. We then decided not to eat there.

Absolutely not recomended. A bald waiter was insulting LGBTQ people by saying 'Last week disgusting faggots were on the street around here walking for pride.' This place has to review its policies. Very disturbing.

A nice little stop for lunch, friendly and accommodating staff. Salad a great choice with a glass of white wine. A little pricy but a good experience overall.

A bald waiter was insulting LGBTQ people saying 'last week disgusting faggots were walking here for pride'. I will never go this place again.

Perfect service excellent food!!!

Very nice cafe and a very nice interior.

Waiter a bit crazy but overall a good shop

We do not recommend the Ruhr area

We ate there for the first time yesterday. We are very excited 😊 The service is top and fast. The service is also super, very friendly. The food is just a dream and incredibly delicious and I can only recommend it. And you don't have to wait long for your food. We had Benedicte which was great and simply delicious, and Florentine just as delicious 😋 For drinks we had Paris Chocolat Macchiato Simply to recommend. We didn't reserve a table but we were lucky and got a seat. Better reserve a table :) We'll definitely be back 😊

The three of us had breakfast here. The food was okay, but overall a very negative impression was experienced due to the impossible business policies and the obviously toxic work environment that employees are exposed to by management. Example of this: Unfortunately, no glass of water was served with the espresso. When we asked, the waitress told us that the management would expressly forbid this and that she would otherwise get into trouble. The otherwise really nice woman was obviously completely intimidated by her superiors. Apart from that: Anyone who calls themselves "Café de Paris" should at least be able to serve decent coffee. We definitely won't come back.

There were two of us on Saturday evening. Food is not cheap, but very tasty. Unfortunately the service staff didn't pay any attention to us. We had to actively speak to the waiter to order. And then unfortunately it always took forever until we got our order. Sometimes we waited half an hour for a drink! And the store wasn't fully staffed. The same thing when we asked for the bill. Even when the drinks were empty, this was completely ignored. Unfortunately very poor performance for the price-performance ratio.

Disaster and very outrageous in form, I have never seen such behavior before I went to the store with my girlfriend and waited there. Nobody served us or gave us a seat. 5 minutes later there was a free table and we sat down. Then a little man came and told us that he had to clean the table first (we were already sitting) and after he finally cleaned the table he told us very rudely that we were leaving the table should…never again Now I know why I was last in this café two years ago Never again

The coffee was delicious 😋, we didn't eat.

I haven't had a better crème brûlée than there, not even in Paris. Salmon fried to perfection, extremely intense and juicy, I'm happy to drive 60 km there👌

Attentive service and very good food.

A place where the waiters feel superior to the customers. Food was mediocre

Nice atmosphere. Beautiful covered outside patio. Good wine . Unfortunately the service was a bit inattentive, hence the star deduction. See you next time :-) The breakfast can be highly recommended.

Bedienung fragt laufend, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Hätte gerne in Ruhe gegessen und gelesen. Daraus habe ich gelernt...

Delicious food and drinks, friendly service 👍. In a higher price segment.

The food was fine but overpriced. I enjoyed my eggs and croissant but it was nothing special. My friend did not enjoy his Croque sandwich at all. You’re paying more for an upscale atmosphere. The service was friendly but quite slow.

I was very disappointed. Service was totally overwhelmed, endless waiting times, expensive, unjustified price. Coffee in the saucer, dirty dishes are not taken away. If nothing fits and you pay too much for it, the first impression is the end of it.

I asked for a toilet 2€/person. Unfortunately very unfriendly and inhumane.

Very loud, the waitress is very stupid, the food is so middling

Good location - nice to sit and have a drink, but the food is too expensive and not tasty enough for the price. The staff is very friendly.

We were there for breakfast on a Saturday. Had reserved a table. It was super tasty and absolutely beautiful. We liked it very much. The next time we are in Cologne, we would go there again 🥰

Long waiting time in front of the door, we also had to wait a long time in the store for the card, order placement, order and invoice. Really a shame. The ambience is TOP

Great location and very friendly service. The coffee is okay and the cake is okay too. You can do it if you are nearby if you want to enjoy the location. We haven't tried the main courses yet.

We went for brunch on Monday morning. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service was polite and attentive! The dishes were brought very quickly and they were very tasty. Especially Lillet - he was incredible. We recommend you try it. Queues are also very frequent, because the restaurant is usually full. We also once spontaneously decided to visit a restaurant on Saturday. Fortunately, we waited only 10 minutes and got a table on the terrace. Therefore, it is better to reserve a place so as not to wait at the entrance without a reservation. Thank you for our wonderful brunch We will definitely be back!

Very nice service. Ver very professional lady.

Very catastrophic. First of all, very bad service, not only that you have to queue outside for ages until someone comes out to serve you. Specially it is a Willi important store without perfect performance, it is to be expected that in such a store the performance of Cuattro Cani can be achieved when it sells itself so expensively. You should, if you're going to go for it, then you should do it right. So in summary, bad, catastrophic, lazy and by far the worst reception service for a store like this in all of Cologne. Therefore not worth further recommendation😊

The rating probably won't be of much use, there were two of us there today and wanted to eat and drink something on the terrace. Waiter only came with the menu after 20 minutes, after we had to ask him several times. Afterwards we were no longer noticed. After another 20 minutes we left. We like to go to Café de Paris, we like to eat the creme brulee and the espresso is great. Unfortunately the service on 07/06/24 was a disaster.

Very nice restaurant on Ehrenstr. I can only recommend it for a quick stop while shopping.

pretentious, yet lacking quality french food and trying to appeal to more customers by adding dishes from the Basque and Belgium which are not all french, but still market as a french restaurant (as if people are ignorant). Also service is bad, from waiters take a long time to ask you what you want, even when the place was not full, to charging you for little things they asked you if you want (as if the waiters are trying to pull as much money as they can!!) to include a tip/service on the bill. I happily paid my bill, as their behavior was intentional and not an error or mistake and there was no point to even raise the concern with the manager, it is a systematic approach (and they are pretentious!) to "pull" as much as possible from customers thinking that this is a fancy place and people wouldn't mind, however, this is just a cafe and not one of the top you can find. I will definitely never go back and I feel responsible to provide an honest review being someone who has traveled all over Europe.

Nothing for locals / okay for tourists.

Very unfriendly and bad service. Waiters are also somewhat racist, people with different skin colors are served slower than others or not at all. I was very uncomfortable and ignored. The waiter was aggressive and arrogant. I wouldn't recommend eating here. Luckily, there are many other places where you feel more comfortable and safe. It's just sad to experience something like that in a city like Cologne. The poor employees may also be taken advantage of by the owner because they treat their guests so inhumanely and behave in an uncivilized manner.

The best cafe with excellent food,beer and wine in cologne Germany.

There were 2 tables occupied in the restaurant. Three waitresses didn't even bother to bring us the menu. We waited, waited, waited... We had to get up before we could order. Congratulations to those who gave a high score for the ability to order and eat 👎

Perfect local for all occasions.

Food was very tasty! Fresh and skillfully prepared. One point deducted from the service because it was really busy and stressful. Was. Understand when there is a lot going on, but do everything with decency, courtesy and respect. We'd love to come back!

Very tasty breakfast for two people (vegetarian version)

Great service, great ambience and the milk coffee and scrambled eggs for breakfast were also really tasty. It wasn't the last time there 🤗. Everything is top notch 💐

We spontaneously came for breakfast on Sunday morning without a reservation. They still found a nice place for us (5 people). But it would probably be better to reserve. The service was great! The food was original and very tasty. I would like to highlight the service. The ladies were really accommodating. I would come back at any time.

I always enjoy it here. The food is always very delicious.

After the European Championship game we were guests in your restaurant. After waiting five minutes in front of the entrance as ordered and not being picked up (as stated on the sign), we went out on our own and looked for a place. After a while, an extremely friendly, polite brown-haired woman served us young lady, we ordered the food, it took almost 45 minutes until we had it, unfortunately the starter we ordered never arrived. The food was very tasty - nothing to complain about. When I wanted to pay the bill with the card, the young server three asked me What amount she should enter, in the meantime my companion gave her a tip of 5 euros. Suddenly she made such a face, literally THROPPED my card on the table in front of me and ran away without saying a word. Never experienced anything like that! We and the next table were flabbergasted! Employees like that should be fired immediately, they ruin the whole business! It's a shame...

Messy and the hostess not very cheerful and wanted to do everything herself. Staff was nice. Never again

Super delicious breakfast, good location in the middle of Ehrenstrasse

What a café should be like according to our taste..... ❤️

Had a visitor from Switzerland. We wanted to end the evening with a drink. We passed the busy cafe. There were a few tables still available, both inside and outside. As requested, we stood at the sign and waited. It should be that way too. But after waiting about 5 minutes. Although two cellars passed directly in front of us several times, we were ignored. Schade had told the visitor how cool it is in Cologne. That wasn't the Cologne style that we usually know. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food.

This is my favorite cafe in Cologne. It was perfect as always

Ambience is really good. We had dinner in the evening and there was nothing missing. It's not exactly the cheapest restaurant but it's money really well spent. The vegetarian pasta with burrata was particularly “trés bien”

Great food and atmosphere. But the service wasn't so good. We asked for the waiter after finishing our breakfast to order some thing else several times. But they didn't respond.

Ambiance is very nice both inside and outside. The service is super friendly and fast. It's always crowded there and without a reservation you have to wait a lot. The prices are enormously increased but so is the quality of the food or drinks. It gave us a lot.

Very elegant, nice cafe with a nice offering. The food and drinks were great and the decor was really cozy! The prices are very high, but so is the quality of the food, so this is acceptable. Overall, really recommended!!

High-end establishment but very qualitative, we tried a wide variety of dishes and everything was very good, I understand better how Anthony Modeste had 3 seasons with more than 15 goals here

It seemed to us that we were in everyday outfits and without a Ferrari we weren't smart enough to be served. After waiting 20 minutes, we left and drank our nasty Aperol Spritz somewhere else. It's a shame, we really liked it there.
