El Cielo Tapas in Köln

We were there with a larger group. The service was very friendly. The order slips didn't work out perfectly, but in the end all the tables were full of tapas and everyone enjoyed it. Unfortunately (due to my sitting position) I didn't see until too late that there were also daily specials on boards. Pulpo and lamb chops was my favorite. The red wine was excellent. The chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was average, I wouldn't order it again. Overall it was a very good experience!

I love this shop, the sangria is the best in Cologne. The tapas are extremely good and the waitresses are always very helpful and friendly and try to accommodate the guests' every wish. However, you should always make a reservation as it is usually very, very full.

Delicious food with a large selection on the menu. Service is nice. Location on the street not great, but at least places to sit outside. Overall a nice visit. Full points on the second visit. The food was very tasty and the tapas are also a decent size. You really get full for your money here and the service was simply fantastic. I would love to come back here!

The individual tapas were really good. But for a bowl like this with well-made but not many potato wedges €5.9.. That's the principle, the individual, really good dishes don't cost that much, but it's worth it to fill you up. Something else could be done to the facility. There doesn't have to be a torn cushion on the bench. Still, overall an interesting location in this area and you don't need to worry about crowds there. But because I can't give it a 5* for details. Nevertheless, I will definitely go there again.

Very tasty tapas, service very friendly and quick. I would love to come back and can highly recommend it.

Review deleted Unfortunately, reservations on weekends are only possible from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. or after 8 p.m.

I was at El Cielo for the second time today and will definitely go there more often. The food is really very tasty. Our young waiter was super friendly and very attentive. I can recommend the restaurant 100 percent.

Great staff, great service, delicious food and a very nice atmosphere. Only recommended!

Ambience: Very nice. Cozy. Eat: delicious. The price-performance ratio is expensive to ok. Service: The service is also good and attentive. Conclusion: We have been there several times and will come again. Have always been satisfied so far.

Really nice atmosphere. Very tasty food. If you want to eat good tapas in Cologne, this is the right place! Great service

Very nice and friendly staff, food great, we were very satisfied

Load the hammer! Super great atmosphere, with delicious tapas, wine and long drinks. Quite well attended even during the week :)

Das Essen war sehr lecker, die Bedienung sehr freundlich, leider keine Cola Zero mehr da und das Brot vor ab wurde vergessen. Leider hatten wir am Tisch hinter uns eine Gruppe Herren, die sehr laut waren . Da wir im Wintergarten gesessen haben , wurde es ziemlich frisch, da um 20:00 der Heizstrahler aus ging.

We had a cozy evening with very nice and courteous service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. It was fun... Thank you Justyna & Andrea

It's ok for Rath Heumar, otherwise there are only senior citizens' restaurants and farmers' taverns

Delicious tapas and very friendly service. Come again

We were here for the first time and absolutely loved it. There are delicious tapas, a very nice atmosphere, a bit more modern but authentically designed and a very friendly and attentive service. We can highly recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back.

There were four of us and we had little idea about tapas. Everything was explained very well to us and we were accompanied throughout the evening by our extremely attentive wait staff. The selection of tapas and starters and desserts was sensational. Everything is freshly and attractively prepared. El Cielo is an absolute recommendation. Thank you

Delicious food, friendly and competent service. Kamilia in particular helped us very nicely.

El Cielo is an absolute highlight for tapas lovers! The selection of tapas is diverse and every single dish is prepared fresh and with a lot of love. I particularly loved the patatas bravas and the gambas al ajillo – simply heavenly!

If you ask nicely, you can also get the best espresso martini at the bar. Everything is great.

Very nice, dedicated staff, the food is tasty and of good quality, everything freshly prepared. The atmosphere and furnishings are very cozy. Clear recommendation, I will come again.

The only restaurant in the area where you can have such a delicious meal so late in the evening, you've always been able to get a table spontaneously. Clear recommendation!

Very nice location, extremely friendly service and delicious tapas - what more could you expect to spend a nice evening with friends? There are certainly better tapas in Cologne, but the overall concept is just right here! Hence 5 stars

Both the food and the drinks were great. The service was outstanding, thank you, Kamilia. The great ambience inside rounded off the lovely evening.

Great Spaniard! Good tapas, delicious wine 😇

Well put together tapas and very friendly service!

“elcielo is a real experience! The dishes are not only incredibly tasty, but also really creatively prepared - you don't know whether you should eat them or admire them. The tapas in particular are absolutely amazing, the best I've ever eaten! The team is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable straight away. You can tell how much love and passion is in every detail. If you want to experience something really special, you've come to the right place. I can only recommend it!”

Super good food, good quality and very tasty, perfect service... would be happy to come back

We were guests with several friends. In a rustic atmosphere, we feasted our way through the beautiful menu, from bread with aijoli to rabbit tapas. There is something for every taste. Everyone enjoyed it very much. I only gave the ambience 4 stars because it was a bit loud. The service was very friendly, quick and attentive. 👍

The food is really delicious and the service is also very good. The food comes very quickly and is beautifully prepared. Worth a visit

Beautiful, very tasty, very attentive staff, just a little quieter acoustics would be great.

We received wonderful service. The attention of the staff and the taste of the products were very good. The prices are excellent. I've lived on the next street for years. We visited this place by chance this evening. I'm glad we went. Thank you, everything was great!

Feel-good atmosphere with delicious variety

Very cozy restaurant with incredibly tasty tapas and very good service. Is it possible to buy vouchers?

A great restaurant in Rath. The staff was very friendly. Gladly again.

It's just a pleasure to eat there, especially you get friendly service and you get small Spanish delicacies and you feel like you're on vacation. I can only recommend this Spanish restaurant.

Hey, spontaneously there on Saturday. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The tapas are a dream. Will definitely come back. Please keep it up, thank you very much.

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The service was excellent. Salads and more vegetables would be desirable on the menu. At least a side salad would have been good. Super delicious desserts. A bit expensive, we paid just under 40 euros per person. Without ordering alcoholic drinks. 0.2 Cola 2.80 euros or soda/iced tea 3.90 euros is quite a bit. For example starter plate 10.90 euros. For that reason and for the missing salad/vegetables, 1 star deducted.

Tasty, good value for money. Unfortunately, the salmon tartare contains significantly more avocado than salmon. However, the remaining dishes were top. The background noise is sometimes very stressful. Service was friendly and attentive. All in all, a great evening with little room for improvement.

We can only recommend this tapas bar! Great food and service very attentive and super friendly! You don't have to go into the city for great food and ambience!

Very, very tasty and really great and friendly staff can only be recommended.

Very nice, cozy atmosphere. Not loud at all, the service staff was always polite, nice and respectful. We tried everything and it was really tasty! The Pulpo is highly recommended. Will definitely come back to try the desserts. There was no room left in my stomach for that today.

We were here with a large group including children. The premises are OK. Maybe a little tight. The food is quite simple. Some portions are quite small. The bread portions are also puny, which increases sales. The taste is ok. The drinks are only available in small glasses, which increases sales when there is plenty of garlic because there are no large glasses. The surprise came with the billing. They billed for various portions of bread and at least 5 more portions of tappas. Nobody ordered or ate them. They weren't on any notice either. The waitress brought a small bottle of water which no one had ordered. The bottle was then simply left with the children. Even the children told her that they didn't order the bottle. The bottle was also on the bill, but as a large bottle. In summary: too expensive, medium quality, bad service and wrong invoice. Despite the group size of 20, we were asked to pay before the end of opening hours so that they could finally arrive on time. That doesn't speak for service and customer loyalty either. This one experience was enough for everyone.

The food was very good. Appetizingly prepared, very good selection. The only drawback for me was that there weren't enough questions about drinks. Otherwise, nice staff, everything was clean and very good food. I will definitely go there again 👍

Der Empfang war freundlich und uns wurde nach ein paar Minuten Wartezeit ein Tisch zugewiesen. Dazu gab es dann gleich ein paar Bleistifte sowie einen Bestellzettel. Hierauf sind die einzelnen Bestellnummern der Speisekarte aufgeführt. Man muss nur noch die Anzahl der gewünschten Portionen eintragen. Die Getränke wurden schnell gebracht. Ich hätte den Wein gerne vorher getestet, doch da hatte die Bedienung bereits die Gläser aus der Flasche gefüllt. Die Speisen kamen nach einer angemessenen Wartezeit. Sowohl optisch als auch geschmacklich konnten alle Gerichte überzeugen. Auch die Menge der einzelnen Portionen war ausreichend. Den Preis für die einzelnen Portionen habe ich als angemessen empfunden. Leider ist es in diesem Restaurant extrem laut. Dieses liegt zum einen an der Unterhaltung der Gäste, aber unter anderem auch an der Bedienung, welche ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste mit dem Geschirr und Besteck klappert. Man kann Geschirr auch leise zusammenstellen und Besteck leise in ein Fach legen. Das muss man nicht werfen.

Very good food not too expensive

Poor service. The waitress dropped the meat and served us the meat again after a few seconds, the same piece that fell down with all the sauce. Really disgusting. We asked them to bring new meat, which strangely enough took longer than 20 minutes because new meat was finally prepared after discussion with the guest. In addition, the full water bottle was simply removed from the table. It's a real shame that you're treated like that as a guest.

We celebrated my friend's birthday, it was a wonderful evening. Both the food and the staff are a 10/10. It was sooo great and delicious. Thanks to our waitress, unfortunately we forgot her name :(

It was sooooo good. Tapas fantastic. Dessert very tasty, espresso hot. The place was completely full, but the service was still excellent. Absolute recommendation.

Hello "Cielo Tapas" We really enjoyed our visit and may come back more often. Your staff is very nice and accommodating and we really enjoyed your warm atmosphere. We ate our way through almost everything on offer and we liked the meatballs in tomato sauce best, although we're usually not a fan of this dish. The slight hint of cinnamon in the meat went wonderfully with the spicy-sour sauce. Unfortunately, we couldn't find such a flavor explosion everywhere; some dishes were underseasoned. We hope we can try more recipes and new dishes with these intense flavors next time. So there is still some room for improvement up to 5 stars. Best regards and see you next time

Went there for the first time and ate with family. There was nothing that wasn't "TOP". Tapas and side dishes absolutely delicious. 👌👌👌

Both the food and the staff were great. The food came quickly and was always fresh and tasted great. The great ambience made the beautiful evening perfect.

I like this restaurant. Very delicious. The shrimp 🍤 was particularly delicious.

Enjoy your meal. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. I like going there.

Very tasty tapas, friendly staff, absolute recommendation. The next day only the colleagues suffer from the Knobi flag...

Just great! Highly recommended, service, food and ambience simply great. We would love to come back!!!!

We had a really nice evening at El Cielo. We'd love to come back ☺️

We were guests at a company event and I regret not living nearby. It was a great evening, good service, delicious food and delicious wine. Thumbs 👍.

Nice tapas restaurant with an authentic atmosphere El Cielo Restaurant offers a welcoming and cozy environment, perfect for a relaxing evening. The selection of tapas is varied and covers the typical classics. We particularly liked the prawns in garlic oil and the crispy patatas bravas - freshly prepared and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the wine list also offers suitable accompaniments to the dishes. A good place to enjoy authentic tapas in a pleasant atmosphere. We'll definitely come back when we're in the mood for Spanish cuisine!

We were there last night in a larger group and for me it was the first visit to El Cielo but definitely not the last! I haven't eaten tapas this well in Cologne for a long time! Everything I tried from the many dishes was extremely tasty and the service was friendly and very competent. All in all it was a great evening in a cozy atmosphere - thank you very much for that!

The tapas restaurant impresses with its authentic ambience and an excellent selection of dishes. The tapas were fresh, flavorful and perfectly portioned. The friendly staff ensured everything ran smoothly. The drinks menu also rounded off the experience. A wonderful place for a convivial evening with delicious food.

Very nice tapas bar with delicious tapas and great drinks. I'd love to come back.

Very friendly service, we ate our way through the tapas. Espresso with Spanish brandy, milkmaid, cream and cane sugar with churros at the end was super tasty.

Great location, amazing food and excellent service. Would recommend and would definitely go again!!

Four of us were here on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very busy. We ordered the tapas from top to bottom. Everything was plentiful and tasty, but I found it lacking in sophistication. The service staff is quick and friendly.

a great place. With Spanish style food, it's very similar! and great service from waiters, I recommend it!! a great place. With Spanish style food, it's very similar! and great service from waiters, I recommend it!!

Meeting friends at this restaurant was a complete success. Gastronomy is alive here. The food is fantastic!!! The service was great, fast and friendly, despite all the tables being full. Unfortunately, due to the full occupancy, it was a little noisy overall, but the shortcoming was more than compensated for by the great food. Bottom line: Absolutely recommended and would happily come back. Thanks for the great evening.

Went back on September 26, 2024 and wasn't disappointed. The service is great, the food is super tasty. You can't eat as much as you want to try. Always happy! Stay the way you are, because that's great! Thank you for a successful evening.

All wishes were fulfilled. Very tasty, the staff was super nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Food great! Operation is exactly the same! Can only be recommended! I'm looking forward to my next visit

A very nice atmosphere, good service, good food, what more could a person want when he goes to a restaurant, everything is optimal.

Always great, the paella is a dream 😍😍

Great food, good prices and pleasant service

Last night we fell in love with El Cielo Tapas. 🥰 The cozy atmosphere, combined with the excellent food 👌 and the friendly staff, made the evening an unforgettable experience. 👍 An insider tip for everyone who values ​​a special atmosphere and good food.

The food was okay. The orders were shouted across the hall. Hectic running back and forth by the service staff. The boss is snapping. A quiet dinner is out of the question. When we told the boss this, we got a snippy response.

We spent our wedding anniversary there and it was a wonderful evening in a dignified setting. Mega nice and courteous staff. The menu is varied and, as we are used to in Spain, ordering the tapas is done via a list where you tick which tapas you want. The journey out of the Eifel was more than worth it! Anyone looking for good tapas will definitely go home satisfied and full. We are thrilled with the quality and selection. We will definitely come back and then with the whole family

Everything perfect! Food super delicious! Service nice! Nice atmosphere!

The food fresh and delicious. Since we sat outside, I can't really rate the ambience. Otherwise recommended.

Very pleasant atmosphere, extremely tasty food and great service. Praise to the tall blonde waitress. Praise also to the kitchen. Gladly again.

Nice restaurant with friendly service. Tapas very tasty

Sehr leckere Tapas, sehr freundliches Personal. Da der Laden beliebt ist, muss man manchmal etwas warten, aber man ist ja auch nicht „auf der Flucht“ 😉 Vielleicht etwas teuer… Auf jeden Fall einen Tisch reservieren!

We were a party of 5. Everything was delicious 😋😋 We will be back 👍🏾👍🏾

We had dinner here today. The service was very good, the tapas were very tasty and the ambience was also very good.

Very nice staff, great tapas, great sangria. Unfortunately, the paella couldn't quite keep up with the tapas.

Nettes Ambiente, sehr guter Service, leckeres Essen. Die Tapas waren hervorragend, das Estrella lecker und der Nachtisch perfekt.

We stopped by later in the evening (just before the kitchen closed), but we were still greeted and served in a very friendly manner. The food was very tasty and the way to order tapas was new: You receive a list of all the tapas on offer and simply indicate the number you would like to order. We liked everything from the service to the food to the ambience. Since we were only there for a short time, we will definitely come back for a long evening!

You couldn't receive guests in a more unfriendly and incompetent way - embarrassing!

Good mood while watching the European Championships

Perfect evening! The service was super nice, great selection of tapas. Everything perfectly prepared and very tasty. The Papas Arugadas are like those in the Canary Islands. We will be back...

I know a lot of tapas bars but this one surprised me positively and is now one of my new favorites. Simply delicious tapas.

Absolutely suitable for spending a nice evening with delicious food. The service is great. Friendly staff and always close by so you don't miss anything. The food was delicious, some of it just wasn't to my liking, but I can still recommend the restaurant.

Great restaurant. The tapas are very tasty and a good selection. Nice atmosphere and nice staff. Even when the store is full.

If you like tapas, you're in heaven

Very tasty dishes The service team is very experienced and nice

Very tasty, clean, friendly, inexpensive! I like to give 5 stars!

Nice little restaurant with a terrace. The tapas are highly recommended, the dessert is not bad but could be improved. The service is very attentive and friendly. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant.

Beautiful location, very tasty tapas (great selection) and extremely friendly service. What more could you want?😃

Good tapas, nice service and good beer! The best conditions for a relaxed evening with friends. Recommended!!!

Very good catering without any problems for 40 people. Food on point. Authentic cuisine and very courteous service. Always my pleasure.
