frau maher in Köln

Nice restaurant. Staff friendly and professional. Prices are unreasonably high for the quality of the food. Charging €26 for a handful of over-salted spaghetti carbonara is pretty outrageous. I won't be going there again.

Vegan options are very tasty. Portions may be a bit small.

Super good breakfast, friendly staff, and Mrs. Maher herself is very personable! ☺️

A Culinary Discovery: Frau Maher "Frau Maher" is a true insider tip that impresses all around! From the moment you enter, you immediately feel at home in the warm and inviting atmosphere. The team is extremely attentive and ensures that no wish is left unfulfilled. But the true highlight is the cuisine: The dishes are creative, flavorful, and of the highest quality. Each dish testifies to the passion and skill of the kitchen team. Whether classics or innovative creations – every palate is pampered here. The freshness of the ingredients and the loving presentation of the dishes are particularly noteworthy. "Frau Maher" is a place where you can sit back, enjoy, and experience an unforgettable evening. Highly recommended!

We have to deduct one star for the quality of the food. I had the Asian fillet salad and then the Mexican platter. I can't recommend either. We have to deduct another star because the wine prices are exorbitant. The selection only starts at around the mid-€40s. It's just not right. It's fitting that quite a few tables remained empty the night before the holiday.

We celebrated our wedding here and had a fantastic evening. The preparations were fantastic, the food was incredibly delicious, and the service was also excellent. Simply a fantastic restaurant.

We came here for a fancy dinner, and our expectations were exceeded. The service was fantastic, very friendly, and they gave us good advice. A great menu with many vegan dishes and responsibly sourced meats. The food was beautifully presented and very tasty, especially the burrata appetizer. A bit on the pricier side, but it was definitely worth it!

Food was very nice and service staff Ismail was so nice, friendly and helpful. Had an amazing evening. Thanks and keep going forward 👍.

Top-notch service, you can sit outside—so far, so good. It's a shame the currywurst is like a Meica supermarket. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind taste test. So why would you come back?

A very nice restaurant with an interesting menu. The price of main courses is now approaching €40, not to mention the wine. However, the quality and finesse aren't up there. However, it's not very busy in the evenings. Certainly recommended. 🙂

I really enjoyed the ambiance, and the service was very friendly and attentive. A nice selection of dishes, also great for brunch :) I'd love to come back.

We were there for breakfast on a Sunday. It was quite busy, but we were able to sit comfortably outside until we got a seat inside. The service is really good; despite the large crowd, the staff is attentive and friendly. I had eggs Benedict with bacon and herb curd. The food was outstanding, with a special mention for the brioche! For such good quality, I'm happy to pay the appropriate price. I'm already looking forward to the next breakfast here :)

Finally back in the Südstadt district! This restaurant had been recommended to us. We sat outside as requested – unlike many other restaurants, you can make reservations outside. And you can enjoy the evening as long as you like without having to make room for a second round of guests. A huge plus! The food, however, wasn't as convincing; in particular, the product quality of the individual menu items was not up to scratch and seemed to us to have been purchased cheaply rather than locally. For example, the ham on the appetizer plate was bland, the aioli wasn't homemade, and the olives lacked flavor. The taco was also a convenience product (like you'd expect from REWE), and the corn and beans for the chili sin carne clearly came from a can. At prices of €26 and more than €30 for a main course, I expect more quality and, for example, the chef to bake their own tacos. Apparently, things used to be different; we would give this otherwise lovely restaurant a second chance. However, the product performance should then correspond to the somewhat above-average price level. The service was friendly.

I was here last week and really enjoyed the food and service. Unfortunately, I didn't like the secret video recordings. I think it's okay to install surveillance cameras, but then you should A. put up a sign and B. install the cameras visibly so guests know they're being filmed!

Frau Maher in Cologne is breakfast bliss. Their fluffy blueberry pancakes burst with flavor, and the eggs Benedict are pure perfection—silky hollandaise, expertly poached eggs, and an unforgettable taste. A must-visit for a mega tasty morning! 🥞🍳🥓

It would be very tasty. Just a little too little but that's a personal opinion :)

Super nice shop with super delicious food! Service is very hard! 🥰

We had such delicious food and drinks at Frau Maher!! All dishes are prepared with attention and love. We received very friendly help from Stephan! Special attention is paid to dietary requirements. Well worth reserving a table!

What a wonderful find in Cologne's Südstadt! I am very pleased that we discovered Ms. Maher. The food was simply great - as a vegetarian, I really got my money's worth here. Every dish was prepared with love and tasted very good. I would particularly like to highlight the service: warm, attentive and authentically friendly - you immediately feel welcome and completely comfortable. The ambience is also designed with great attention to detail and radiates a special warmth. A real heartfelt restaurant! We will definitely be back – and not just once. Keep it up, dear Ms. Maher team!

First of all, the service staff was extremely polite and attentive. I found the ambience to be nicely decorated, but you sit too close to the person sitting next to you. Empty bottles were placed in a bag behind the counter extremely loudly. The scrambled eggs with bacon were great, but I didn't think the cheese plate was that good.

I have the feeling that as a customer you are there for the owner and the store is not customer-oriented. There were some very nice and not so nice people at the service. Unfortunately, none of the waiters knew what cakes were available. I should look for myself, but the cake, if it's not cut, doesn't explain itself. further inquiries were made, but no one was asked. I find the drinks prices in particular to be absolutely exorbitant and you didn't really feel welcome. You can make up your own mind. That's my opinion.

Bei traumhaftem Sommerwetter hatte ich nach einer schönen Location in der Kölner Südstadt geschaut wo ich entspannt Mittagessen konnte. Dabei bin ich auf "Frau Maher" gekommen. Dort hatte ich draußen einen kleinen Tisch im Schatten. Der Service war recht schnell, sowohl bei den Getränken als auch mit dem Bringen des Essen. Ich hatte einen Caesars Salat bestellt, der nach ca. 15 min. gebracht wurde. Vorher kam das Getränke (Spezi mit Eis + Zitrone) die mit 5,50 Euro für 300 ml doch recht teuer war. Der Salat kostete 17,00 Euro. Unterm Strich war es kein finanzielles Vergnügen, aber die Location war schön, der Service schnell und freundlich und daher kann man das mal machen.

Super nice location and delicious breakfast 🥞 We would love to come back!

I had an excellent breakfast at the Frau Maher restaurant in Cologne. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was extremely friendly and accommodating. However, parking options at Clodwigplatz are limited, which is why it is better to come by train. All in all, the restaurant is highly recommended!

Delicious lunch with fantastic lasagne and fine homemade cordon bleu including crispy rösti. Portions are official! Alcohol free Needle Gin Cocktail was also spot on. Very friendly service and quick cuisine despite peak lunch time. Shop and toilets very clean and nicely decorated. A completely well-rounded experience... That's how it has to be and that's what really makes you want it!

We were lucky and found a cozy place for an incredibly delicious breakfast - with a huge portion of avocado! 🥑🤤 The staff was very friendly, the service was quick and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great breakfast experience!

Really a very nice restaurant with nice drinks and good food. Interior is nice and the personnel very friendly. Next time I visit Köln I'll be eating there again.

Beautiful place! Good for brunch! Pancakes 10/10 Friendly staff. Coffee isn’t really good.

Very nice bistro with excellent food and extremely friendly service

Tolles Ambiente, hervorragender Service und unglaublich leckeres Essen! Die Gerichte sind mit viel Liebe zubereitet und perfekt abgeschmeckt. Absolut empfehlenswert – ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

We ate very well and the service was on a zack and very friendly. It was nice with you!

Definitely a culinary experience with creative and surprising flavor combinations. Staff very attentive and friendly. The only downside is the noise in the restaurant. Anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing evening might feel disturbed as the background noise is quite high. Conversations are often only possible with a raised voice, which takes away from the atmosphere

We were at Frau Maher's on New Year's Eve. There were 7 delicious courses of the finest quality. The service was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was very nice and we had a nice end to the year. Thank you! I'd love to come back.

Very tasty food, also for vegans, no long waiting times and very friendly staff. We'd love to come back!

A very harmonious restaurant where everything was right for me. The food was fantastic, the service was very attentive and friendly.

So...we were there on Boxing Day and were able to enjoy a very excellent menu. Every course was really a blast...the service was very friendly and attentive...and the restaurant was also beautifully decorated for Christmas. All in all: great! 5 stars!

Not particularly! Portions very small, carelessly placed on old plates. Kind of reminded me of cafeteria food. Totally overpriced! There wasn't even a slice of bread. We went for a 3-course menu (approx. 5 cm pieces of dead bean with 1 scampi, approx. 80 grams of meat with raw potato gratin with carrots/celery vegetables, 1 tablespoon of chocolate mousse with a dollop of ice cream - without any decoration) for 80 €! went out hungry. Service wasn't unfriendly but not good either! Otherwise brewery atmosphere! Old dishes, cheap glasses, checkered napkins, no table biscuits or Christmas decorations on the tables! The place was completely overcrowded, almost dangerously full and correspondingly loud! Absolutely no recommendation! Far from “upscale”!

Sorry, but that was nothing. The restaurant was packed and the service was friendly but overwhelmed. The food tasted pretty good, but it has nothing to do with fine dining. It wasn't outstanding in any way! Neither in terms of taste nor in the way the dishes were prepared. It was reminiscent of a factory canteen! The plates are ancient and worn, cheap glasses, old cutlery and at Christmas there isn't even a tablecloth but checkered napkins. And then exorbitantly expensive! I don't understand the good reviews. Maybe they're good at breakfast, but they're definitely not good at dinner! Absolutely no recommendation.

A really highly recommended and very tasty Christmas menu in a cozy atmosphere! Absolutely recommended! Thank you!

Unfortunately, everything was done to get us out as quickly as possible. Not nice because I had always heard good things. Service was not optimal. Empty dishes were not cleared away, even when a new order was taken. LG

We were there for goose dinner on Tuesday and ordered a whole goose in advance. And it was phenomenal… The chef even told us the secret of the filling. And the service was wonderful too, we'll be back, thank you!

Since my office is nearby, I know “Frau Maher” primarily as a breakfast location or a place for a business lunch. Both are recommended in terms of the quality of the food and the speed and friendliness of the service. These always positive experiences were topped off with a family dinner. We had actually planned our annual goose dinner at "Frau Maher's". You have to pre-order these by phone a few days in advance. Unfortunately, the information that we wanted to eat "the whole goose" in the restaurant was lost when we made our online reservation. That was annoying at first! How great the situation was saved by the “Mrs. Maher team”. You could order "the best of the goose" (breast and leg) or goose legs Conift from the menu. The meat was tender and juicy. The potato dumplings were fluffy and the red cabbage melted in your mouth. Since then, Ms. Maher has been number one for our annual goose dinner. One of my sons spontaneously switched from goose to a fish dish (cod), which was also well received. The service was extremely friendly and attentive and gave us competent advice on our wine selection. The “whole goose” would have included soup as a starter. We were very happy that we didn't "have to" take these and instead opted for different starters. We were totally surprised when the bill came. Due to the oversight when booking, the price for both of our starters was significantly lower. But the biggest pleasant surprise came the day after. The owner of Ms. Maher wrote an email apologizing again for the oversight in the booking! There is so much complaining about Germany being a service desert. As someone who has visited restaurants in other countries, I can only say: I have never experienced such a positive example in gastronomy. Absolute recommendation for Ms. Maher! Thank you for a great evening. We'd love to come back!

I love this restaurant! It's incredibly delicious. (In December the Christmas goose is absolutely recommended! - on point!) but above all the atmosphere is very cozy and the service is courteous and friendly! If I didn't already, I would always come back ☺️🫶🏻

Breakfast was delicious, although the price was rather more expensive. Local smelled a little musty, but decorated very nicely for Christmas!

Great southern city restaurant. Had our company Christmas party there with DJ and flying buffet, very tasty

Good place for breakfast or dinner. Good food but not abundant and expensive for what they offer

Top in all respects! A little more expensive, but the food and drinks are worth it.

11/3/2024 After the concert in Phil, I was strolling through Cologne and happened to come across Ms. Maher. Warm welcome and even though I was solo and the place was pretty full, I was assigned a nice seat. Attentive advice on the choice of tea and everything else remained calm. I like the ambience and the cross-border clientele. Bread with spread came together with the dish we ordered, fish and chips, the breading was appetizing, the fish was quite watery and tasteless and the fish portion was clear, a shame. The decor and the tea and bread setting were well thought out. You can try different dishes, I will definitely come back.

The "vegan lasagne" was like a bad parody; just slices of smoked tofu with some chopped tomato in between. It tasted (surprise) overwhelmingly like smoked tofu, and nothing else. It also had the non-endearing bite of slices of smoked tofu. I've often had wonderful vegan lasagna at other places, but this one managed to serve a 24€ experience of reconsindering my life choices that brought me there. Otherwise: vegan tapas were ok. Friendly waiters, nice lighting.

Nice corner, and really tasty food for a reasonable price, so we liked it 👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋. And always happy 😃😃😃😃

War aufgrund diverser Empfehlungen dort und war total enttäuscht! Hab die teuerste und gleichzeitig schlechteste Lasagne gegessen. Alle Portionen waren Ultra klein, man geht hungrig rein und raus für pro Person 50 Euro. Service hat uns ignoriert-sind verdurstet-nie wieder.

Was there based on various recommendations and was totally disappointed! I ate the most expensive and worst lasagne at the same time. All portions were ultra small, you go in and out hungry for 50 euros per person. Service ignored us - we died of thirst - never again.

Culinary excellent. Very crowded in the evening. Reservation required. Practically challenged by the small space and small tables.

Nice rooms, very friendly service, but breakfast and coffee are of train station quality. Boring rolls, roast beef and salmon from the pack, scrambled eggs from the pack, garnished with a quarter of tomato, lettuce leaf and a few slices of pickles from the jar(!), plus horseradish sauce and herb remoulade from the bucket. My counterpart had fried eggs on a slice of cooked Aldi ham on bread (I think there was salad under the ham too). There was a stewed mini tomato next to it as a decoration. The coffee wasn't good. No, when you leave the restaurant your stomach tells you that there are no ambitious people working here who enjoy eating and drinking.

Very tasty, very friendly...my place for a nice breakfast on the weekend in Cologne!

I was able to take a very pleasant lunch break here. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was delicious!

Really great restaurant in Cologne, the food is incredibly delicious. You pay a little more, but you definitely get something for the price. I would love to go here and would love to come back.

Food is okay, but unfortunately the taste has deteriorated over the years. Unfortunately, the prices are now too high for the quality of the offer, equipment, location and service.

At the end of a great day, we had a cocktail here. I have never experienced such incredibly unfriendly staff. Unbelievable.

A restaurant where everything is really harmonious. The outstanding and creative chef creates flavor variations in a pleasant atmosphere. In addition to the delicious spare ribs, I am surprised Menu a vegan version of “Himmel & Ääd”. It looks like butwurst and tastes like it, but behind it are red beans and beetroot juice. So creative and taste-wise a dream. The menu is rounded off with the Limoncello Tiramisu, which is dusted with green tea. We are pampered by attentive and friendly service. Always worth a visit. The 3-course menu for €49 stimulates all your taste buds.

We were thrilled 😊 Portions were more than sufficient and very, very tasty. Service/operation very friendly and quick. We would love to come back 😊

I find the prices very expensive. Since when do you pay €5.50 for a dop espresso in Cologne? Service was nice. Overall the atmosphere was good. I found the prices very unfair

The Tel Aviv plate was super tasty. Very friendly staff, high quality food, great atmosphere. Kind regards Your DE Tetris removals and kitchen assembly team.

Good restaurant in the southern part of the city. Delicious food, friendly service.

Great location, friendly staff, completely overpriced for poor quality

Creative and exciting compositions, first-class products. The very friendly staff showed competence and flexibility, especially when there was a cloudburst. We'll be back soon.

Always good. Absolutely recommended! Whether breakfast, lunch or evening. Something for everyone. Also a large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly service. Of course everything has its price.

Went to “Frau Maher” again and felt very comfortable there again! Nice ambience, good lively atmosphere, attentive service, delicious food...recommended!

Very tasty breakfast, nice atmosphere outside and inside, friendly staff 😊

The staff, the food, the service - everything about it was simply perfect, so we ate there twice during our stay in Cologne. Even the changing facilities for babies were so lovingly designed, as were the toilets. The nice waiter Camilo served us very friendly and courteously and answered all of our questions about breakfast (Cafe Nuss Nuss - btw it is highly recommended, as is everything there!)

Food and service were good so far. Unfortunately, the prices don't do justice to the portions. We had a cheaper and better breakfast in Cologne. Still absolutely fine.

We had breakfast there around lunchtime. Everything was great, in keeping with the spirit of the times. Everything was delicious, drinks and food. - Only the beer garden chairs outside are a bit uncomfortable, but if you're lucky you can get other seating options.

The beautiful corner house with the terrace in front is so tempting and inviting that I couldn't resist and sat down for a petit déjeuner parisien - I didn't regret it! Spent a comfortable hour here with my companion. When I come back to Cologne, I know where I will definitely stop again: with Ms. Mahér! Thank you Madame!

Food: special menu, no alternatives, small portions. You can and can expect more in terms of taste and appearance Drinks: Sparkling water for 6.??€ in a carafe. When asked about a sealed bottle, there was no explanation, but the explanation was that the water was filtered in an "extra large filter system" and not with "Britta". The latest trend in Cologne is to sell tap water there too. Service: somewhat forgotten. Set up from the left side - almost got cutlery and later a plate. Conclusion: there are much better shops in Cologne

Am heutigen Samstag hatten wir 1x ALLES KÄSE, ALLESKÖNNER und 3x Milchkaffee. Die Portion war ordentlich groß und sehr lecker. Wir haben draußen gesessen, konnten uns prima unterhalten und hatten ein abwechslungsreiches Seh-Programm rundherum. Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder. Preise sind schon etwas höher. 😉 Viel Freude beim Ausprobieren!

All in all, the food was delicious, but somehow it didn't really convince any of us. One condition was quite annoyed and showed it. All in all not bad but not more than a solid 4 stars

great food, attentive, friendly service and relaxed location! Great!

Nice café, you can sit outside (shade or sun) but of course also inside. Service was quick and nice, we were happy with the food! (Currywurst and drink approx. 16-18€ per person) unfortunately not that big of a vegetarian selection

Great location. The food was tasty.

Solid, but just too expensive for what it is... Cappuccino from the vending machine 4.20 euros or mint tea 5 euros?? This is not a good price/performance ratio. Breakfast plates large and delicious. Service was nice but also a bit slow.

Been here 4-5 times so far and today I ordered lasagne for the first time and, as usual, I wanted parmesan with it, which is free everywhere in the world. Afterwards I saw on the bill that they charged 1.50 for parmesan and I've never experienced that before. Parmesan is something as simple as olive oil and should always be included in the prices.

That was really really nice! Very tasty breakfast, very nice service and a wonderful ambience. Great!!

Cozy interior, fast service with a good overview - without being hectic. We spent several hours here with 8 people after breakfast. There was also a lovely seating area outside with flower boxes and trees, looked very inviting!

Nice location, good cuisine and very nice service.

Attentive staff, delicious food, super nice decor, everything organic. Price-performance ratio is very good. When I asked if I could light a candle for my birthday, I received a very loving surprise. The boss and two waiters came to the table with a dessert including a candle and sang a birthday song. Prosecco with raspberries included! A (regular) guest then asked me if he should take a souvenir photo of me. Incredibly nice atmosphere! I can warmly recommend the restaurant.

Really nice banana pancakes with nut-nougat sauce! This plus two coffees and scrambled eggs with bacon and toast was just €31, a really good deal!

Very simply beautiful and recommended

It's okay. Rather big with many seats and a the corresponding flare. Prices are pretty high for average selection, so prive value not the best. But fine in total. Service is friendly. Big outdoor area and you might find a spot, without reservation, which is rare in Südstadt Cafés...

Unfortunately far too expensive. But the people of Südstadt have it...

Generally very overpriced. The menu only shows numbers and when asked which currency, the euro was stated. Serves well, burgers rather average.

Really good food, especially the portion of asparagus, in a great atmosphere. Thanks to Tova (hopefully spelled correctly) for the super friendly and attentive service - that was a pleasure.

Seit Jahren verwenden wir zu Hause überwiegend hochwertige, bzw. Bio-Lebensmittel und mit diesem Anspruch habe ich mir für meinen „Geburtstagsdinner“ ein passendes Restaurant gesucht - und gefunden! Warum viel Geld ausgeben für Speisen, die zwar gut schmecken, bei denen aber die Qualität der verwendeten Zutaten einfach nicht stimmt ..!? Zugegeben habe ich bei der Reservierung erwähnt, dass es sich um einen Geburtstag handelt, aber dennoch sind zwei Gläser Prosecco zur Begrüßung, keine Selbstverständlichkeit! Das war sehr aufmerksam! Der zugewiesene Platz war ideal, das Geschirr war schön anzusehen, und die Portionen waren absolut ausreichend. Überhaupt war das Ambiente sehr gemütlich und die Akustik trotz vieler Gäste erträglich. Der Service war überaus aufmerksam und dennoch nicht aufdringlich! Die Gerichte (Calamaretti, Papardelle, Auberginenbällchen) waren kreativ zusammengestellt, geschmacklich fein abgestimmt und auch sehr appetitlich angerichtet. (Lediglich die Oliven waren ziemlich langweilig und da wäre definitiv mehr drin gewesen!) Desserts waren wirklich aufwändig dekoriert und ebenfalls sehr lecker! Zusammengefasst war es ein sehr gelungener Abend und ein wunderbares Essen. Der Preis absolut angemessen und als sehr zufriedene Gäste kommen wir gerne wieder!

We passed the lovely restaurant/café on a lovely walk through Cologne and settled in there. It was in the afternoon and we treated ourselves to a delicious piece of cake and really good coffee. The service was very nice and the location was well attended. There seems to be delicious food there even at later hours. You'll just have to try it out soon. But it's also worth it for cake and coffee.

Very good, but prices are clearly too high.

+ large selection of both drinks and food + Delicious coffee + Seating available outside + Very friendly owner, great service from her + Pancakes are recommended - Despite a reservation, we had to wait about 15 minutes for the table - The rest of the service staff was a bit slow, some of the orders were forgotten - Cake could have been fresher - Portions too small for the price

We celebrated my wife's birthday here with friends in the evening (but it wasn't our first time here). We were greeted with prosecco 🥂 The menu is clear, but I can recommend every dish. We felt very comfortable with Ms. Maher (the best one) and would love to come back.

A great restaurant with a very good menu! Fresh produce, well prepared!

It doesn't go without a lot of information: Frau Maher cannot be left out of her visit to the city of Cologne. It's basically my favorite place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even just tea. Ich mag sehr!!!

Breakfast: 1.5 slices of Gouda 5 euros, 2 teaspoons of jam 3 euros, 1 baked roll 1 euro, butter 2 euros, 1 latte macchiato 3.80 euros, 1 latte (served in a cappuccino cup) 3.80 euros, 1 Strammer Max and Moriz 13 euros (1 slice of bread with cooked ham and 3 fried eggs). Table not really usable for breakfast as it is very small. Service was very nice and attentive. I like to eat breakfast a lot and have no problem spending money for a good performance. But this price-performance ratio is not worth visiting again for me.
