Hänneschen und die Pfeffermühle in Köln

Always very hospitable and warm. Food hearty, delicious, very tasteful. Always enjoy coming here.

Very personal service. The food was good. First time to have lamb in Germany. Great local beer.

Super fun and yummy food. Great location

Meat was delicious, only the mushroom cream sauce was too thin. Salad could use a little more attention.

Very good food, nice service. Well organized, friendly, you feel very welcome.

You know a lot of restaurants in the front row at Heumarkt, but this restaurant simply offers outstanding quality at a top price.

Great local restaurant to discover delicious German flavors! Attentive staff!

Service was really good, food was really good. Owner told me to order less because it was soo much healthier said. Never had that before! Best service of koln so far! Good price. GOOD Food under €20!!!!!!!

the bratwurst with sauerkraut was incredible

Saturday evening well filled, still nice and attentive service, delicious gaff

Let me start by saying that I'm glad these comments exist and we can find such places. Even though it doesn't look very attractive from the outside, once you get inside, there is a feeling of a superior place. We ate dish number 16 in the chicken schnitzel and noddle section with mushroom sauce. The portions of both are huge. I remembered that there was no chicken among the schnitzel options on the menu, and when I told him, he made it accordingly. If you have a sensitivity to pork, you can also remove it from the sauce. Sinitze can be served with not just a single sauce option, but with any sauce you want, and it is very delicious. Dish number 16 is a masterpiece :) Don't worry about it being in the noodle section. Grilled chicken and mushrooms on top of a green Tagliette, with mozzarella on top, and of course they were blended with a wonderful sauce. The grilled taste was perfect, be sure to try it :)

Restaurant that doesn't fool you for being a tourist. Incredible service and very good food! German specialties. If you go there you are sure to be right! If I come back I will repeat 100%. Really a 10.

I asked the waiter for a table and he shouted sarcastic comments at me for 20 seconds like I was an idiot. All he had to do was say no. Never been treated so rudely in my life

Top restaurant! Great food and even better service with nice hosts. Full recommendation :)

Everything is great. Food selection and quality, service attentive, prices reasonable. Nothing to complain about, 100% recommendation!

Bottomless service, waited half an hour and didn't even get a card.

Very friendly staff, good price-performance ratio

We were guests in this restaurant, which is located directly on the Heumarkt, for the third time in just under a year, and on each of our three visits we were very satisfied with the food we received here, which we enjoyed every time. Overall, the menu offers a very nice selection of different dishes, including many grilled dishes, as well as several tarte flambées, schnitzel and pasta dishes. There are also some very interesting house specialties, which are not shown online. During our visits we have already tested several dishes and so far every meal has tasted really delicious. The various, tasty types of meat with clearly palatable grilled aromas have always been of very good quality and had optimal cooking points, and we also always found the fine side dishes and sauces to be really good and also fresh. The portions, which are attractively served to guests at the table, are generous in size, so that you will definitely feel full. The restaurant, which is also busy during the week, offers a nice, simple ambience with many traditional Cologne details, especially with reference to the adjacent puppet theater. When the weather is nice, you can also relax on the outdoor terrace along the Heumarkt. The service has been really friendly and attentive on all visits so far, and the food has always had a pleasantly short waiting time. Compared to surrounding breweries, we find the food here to be definitely better in terms of taste and quality, which is why we're a little annoyed that we didn't find this restaurant sooner. We can definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant and will happily come back a few more times ourselves.

Typical but little food. Good beer and good service

We had a delicious german meal consisting in currywurst with a kölsh beer. It was not too expensive and the server was nice. The chocolate souffle was also very good.

Nous avons très bien mangé dans ce restaurant. Les prix sont abordables et le service est de très bonne qualité et rapide en comparaison avec les autres restaurants de la place. Je recommande.

Perfect! Food very tasty and staff very accommodating! Always happy.

Top! Food was very good -> large portions at very fair prices! Highly recommended

Good home-style restaurant with a great menu, friendly service and delicious food. Reasonably priced.

Everything you could wish for! So absolute madness! Keep it up!

Very good! Tasty, fun & friendly.

Food super fresh and delicious Staff super friendly and accommodating Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back

Very good food, nice service and also sat in the sun 🤗. It couldn't be better 😀.

Very good cuisine. We were there with 5 guests. All the dishes were top notch. No Turi standard menus from the system kitchen. The prices were also ok.

A nice restaurant, especially the quality of the food was convincing, very tasty. Thank you!

Grosse Karte, ausgezeichnetes Essen, zuvorkommende Bedienung. Grosse Portionen, gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

It took a while at the beginning until we were served, but it was really busy and we were able to get the last seats at short notice. Food was excellent, service was very nice! Absolutely recommended

When we have visitors and are out in the old town, we usually go to eat at your place. The service is quick and everyone enjoys the dishes. But we have to criticize one thing: smell and hygiene from the back of the restaurant down to the toilets, including toilets. Something should be done urgently. We already had visitors and they didn't want to come to you anymore, even though the food was tasty.

Despite the full house, we managed to accommodate 7 people. Food was very good. And really reasonable and justified prices for the Heumarkt as a tourist magnet.

I always thought it was a tourist trap, but was proven wrong last night. Schnitzel, bratwurst and baked chicken were very tasty. Service is on point and friendly. Unfortunately forgot pictures. Absolute recommendation.

Great brewery in a great location, the service was very attentive and friendly. The burger was okay but not homemade and didn't justify the price. The fries and the rest were really very good.

Good food and friendly service in a great location Even though it was rush hour, we got a seat for four very quickly and were served very quickly. The selection of food is good and everyone will find something. The quality of the food was very good and so was the taste. Portions and prices were right here. Simply great for the location. We'd love to come back (our companions really come here often!)

The food was very tasty, the staff was friendly and attentive. The food came relatively quickly despite the store being well stocked.

I had lunch with my girlfriend at the Pfeffermühle today, we were so impressed by the friendly service and the delicious food! We go there often, mostly on Sundays, and no matter whether we ate casseroles, salad, schnitzel or burgers, everything tastes delicious and the staff is so friendly, thank you for that! I'm looking forward to next time. Kind regards, Anita

Four of us were spontaneously there on a Saturday evening. It was very crowded and at first we could only sit outside. When a table became available inside, we were immediately asked if we would like to sit inside, which we did. Although it was busy both inside and out throughout the evening, service was great and very quick for drinks. The food also came in a reasonable time and was super tasty. The price-performance ratio is also right here. Highly recommended!

I had read good reviews of this restaurant and I definitely wanted to go there when we were in Cologne. Unfortunately, I was not able to book online before leaving home. Calling wasn't really an option for me living in Canada. We took a chance and went for it. We were told it was full. We were so disappointed. We stood in the entrance of the restaurant and a few minutes later a waiter beckoned us to follow him and offered us a seat next to the bar. I think it's the most beautiful table in the restaurant. We were so happy and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and efficient, the food very good and the atmosphere very pleasant. This remains one of the most beautiful memories of our stay in Cologne.

An excellent place with amazing Schnitzel!

We've been there several times. Always combine it with a visit to the Hänneschen Theater. No matter what we ordered, everything was delicious!! Good price-performance ratio.

Quaint restaurant with super friendly service and delicious food. We will come back on our next visit to Cologne 👍🏻

The best bratwurst in Cologne, great beer, usually very busy, but it's worth it!

Delicious food! Friendly service! Nice location! And all that for a nice price. Definitely recommended.

Lovely pub food in the centre of cologne. Friendly staff and a cozy interior - we went twice!

We were there as a family with 2 children. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We'd love to come back. 👍

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, the experience was far beyond my expectations. The food was simply outstanding, and the staff was warm and attentive throughout our visit. We started with two of their soups, and each one was better than the last — rich in flavor and perfectly seasoned. For the main course, we ordered the beef fillet with mushroom sauce. The taste of the meat was indescribable — tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

The food was great & plentiful! Although there was a lot going on the day we were there and the service was a little overwhelmed, as we noticed from the mood when we asked something decent... We were only given a seat outside in the cold without a reservation, but we were still very satisfied and came We would be happy to come back when we are in Cologne again but this time with a reservation 😉

We stopped in to try the famous Kolsch beer and enjoyed sitting at a table overlooking the plaza and people watching. Although we weren't hungry, the menu looked appealing. Restrooms downstairs.

Very attentive, friendly service, super delicious food, always worth a visit

We ordered the grill plate and Jägerschnitzel for dinner. There was coffee and ginger ale to drink. The food was very tasty and we were served quickly. The waiters were very good and competent. Price performance is also right, I found it definitely fair.

I had a great experience and the staff is very polite. There were many vegetarian options, I went with the seasonal vegetables pan and fries and it was delicious.

Super tasty and large schnitzel. Service very friendly Always go back

Wow, amazing. Only regret is not coming back a second time. One of the best bolognese I’ve ever had.

At first I really thought it was a tourist shop right on the Heumarkt. However, I was won over by the nice service and good food (the portions were also decent) And the price is great in terms of performance 😇

Excellent food, super friendly staff, reasonable prices, a clear 5 star rating from me.

Food was delicious, prices were a bit high (due to the location), staff was slightly overwhelmed (at least that evening).

I was here for the first time today and I have to say it was very good food and, above all, hot and tasty. Keep it up. And I will come more often 😚😚

Located right on the Heumarkt, one of the best mushroom schnitzels I've ever eaten, large portion, fast and friendly service, even when it's busy. Always my pleasure!

Very, very tasty.... with a top price/performance ratio.... the service is worth highlighting....*****

The food was delicious and still really hot when it arrived at the table. Not a long wait. The service was very nice and accommodating. Gladly again at any time. Absolutely recommended.

Great restaurant with good home cooking. Very generous portions and super tasty. The staff is very friendly. No long waiting times. Great price. A visit is worth it 😊

The tastiest lamb I have ever eaten

It was just an all around great experience at this restaurant! Great ambience and super nice service, fast, courteous! The food was really really tasty 🤩 we would come again!

We are just sitting here in the restaurant after the meal... simply brilliant, very friendly and the price-performance ratio is right... We love the Hännesche ❤️

The waiters were very friendly and tried to provide a table for our larger group despite being busy. I enjoyed the food very much. One point of criticism is that the dishes are not particularly cheap, but that is probably not surprising in Cologne. Toilets could be cleaner and more intact. Overall, definitely recommended.

Outrageously delicious! We'd love to come back! THANKS

The vegetarian offering could be expanded somewhat. There was some of it outside, but ultimately the offering was rather poor. We then had a delicious vegetable pan where the beef strips were simply replaced with fries.

Very well-rounded experiences. Price/performance ratio is extremely good and the staff are really good and friendly...even when it gets stressful ☺️

Had dinner there yesterday with 9 people after our Hänneschen visit. Had reserved in advance and sat outside sat. The food was very tasty, great service, even though it was extremely busy, the service didn't let itself be disturbed. Always a smile on your face. Prices were perfectly fine, not overpriced what you actually assume when you eat in the old town. It wasn't the last time there. Thumbs up

Delicious home cooking with large portions. Not a long waiting time and nice service.. Gladly again.

We were a small group at the table outside. The staff was understaffed. Our waiter was very nice and quite stressed. The food tasted very good and was prepared to perfection. Very tender lamb, large portion. I can only recommend 😉👍

The food was very good. Fast and correct service. Recommended place in the heart of the city.

Wonderful atmosphere and service. The tagliatelle dish in particular is the culmination of God's greatest gift to this planet. One bite will transcend your soul into the afterlife. No meal on this mortal Earth can live up to this dish. The creamy, mushroom sauce is sweet nectar delivered by angels, and the combination of the pasta with the chicken was crafted by the hands of immortals. Please try this dish, it changed my life, it will change yours too.

Today we went to Hänneschen and the Pfeffermühle for the first time. The interior is comfortably furnished and the food tasted very good. Unfortunately, I cannot report any positive feedback about the service staff. At first they wanted to refuse us to dine indoors, even though there were still seats available. They said we should please sit outside because it would be quicker there. After a long back and forth, we were finally allowed to take a seat inside. Unfortunately, the service staff were very overwhelmed and our food order was simply forgotten until the waiters noticed it themselves. Afterwards our food was served very quickly after we were given a salad in advance as compensation. Luckily, as guests we can decide for ourselves where we spend our money, so we ate there for the first and last time today.

It was so beautiful again in Hänneschen. Belongs to Cologne.

Seven of us came spontaneously and got a spot straight away on a sunny afternoon. The waiters were super attentive, the food was a 10/10, all the dishes were really delicious. Absolutely recommended :)!

Sat outside with friends. All tables were occupied, staff were always very friendly and service was quick. Really great. Now about the food, there's nothing to complain about even if you're in a tourist hotspot. The quality of all the food was good. Greetings to the kitchen 👍

We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad bij Hänneschen und die Pfeffermühle in Keulen. Het grote terras is een ideale plek om te genieten van het mooie weer. Het vriendelijke personeel zorgde voor een vlotte bediening, ondanks de drukte op het terras. Toen we aankwamen, was het erg druk vanwege het mooie weer, maar we konden binnen even wachten tot er een tafeltje op het terras vrij kwam. Het eten was heerlijk en de locatie in de binnenstad van Keulen is prachtig. Wij zijn zeer tevreden en komen zeker nog eens terug!

Service was very nice, quick and great attention. The food was fresh, delicious, good quality and quantity. Handcraft beer is also recommended!

Wanted to go to the restaurant on a hot day. Were turned away because it wasn't supposed to be occupied inside. We should please take a seat outside. There was just one table free in the shade and it was very warm. But the table was completely crooked. That wasn't nice. The people who came after us were allowed in after all. (2 minutes later) A bit outrageous and incomprehensible. The food was good so far. Except: I had a salad plate that wasn't exactly enough for me to be very hungry. I know that better and different for the price. I also ordered fries, which only came after I asked twice. Staff seemed overwhelmed and annoyed. When I asked for the second time (when we had almost finished the meal/salad), the only answer I got was from the first waiter: "Oh, I forgot the fries again." Unfortunately no excuse - nothing. Too bad. I didn't feel comfortable there. “Welcome Guests” looks different to me. Unfortunately not again.

Super nice service, I'm happy to give it 5*.

a nice restaurant. Nice and quick service and very good food. The steak was perfect and the tarte flambée was very plentiful. We'd love to come back!

Happy to come back every time you visit Cologne!

Outside as usual. Nothing special

Food was just ok. This area is filled with tourism and it felt like the restaurants know they don't have to work very hard to make their money. Our server was great. Unlike most in the region he was attentive and quick. He also told us about the theater.

Good service is very quick and the food is very tasty. It is better to see customers who eat something and not just drink

Very tasty soups, good portions, probably cooked by my mother, everything was very tasty :D

Traditional German food. Fantastic schnitzel.

We ate there for the first time at the beginning of August. The dishes were very tasty and were at the table very quickly. Even though it was busy (Saturdays), the waiters were friendly. In terms of price performance, I found it to be completely okay. I can't complain, we'll be back soon :)

Very nice location and delicious food. Clear further recommendation.

It was a beautiful Sunday, the store was super full. The waiters and waitresses do a great job. Simply great. The kölsch came quickly and despite the hustle and bustle, the food was at the table quickly. Super tasty and super good. Kudos to the kitchen and the nice, courteous staff. Repetition factor is very high!!!!👌👍👍

Nice location where the daily menu also includes Cologne cuisine. But don't worry, there's a translation 😉 The food was very tasty, I only deducted one star because the fried potatoes were only lukewarm. There is also a point deduction for service because neither ketchup nor mayonnaise was offered with the fries and bratwurst, but at the neighboring table they were 🤔 You have to like the hustle and bustle at the Heimarkt, otherwise a table inside might be more appropriate. However, I wasn't inside, so I can't rate the ambience. It's okay for outside. Definitely worth a visit🥳

We had a dinner that didn't look too bad at first... But then a worm (huge and alive) came crawling out of my flesh... In the end I didn't pay for it, but I won't recommend the restaurant to anyone.. . A worm in food is simply unacceptable!

Delicious burger and very nice service!!! 😊

Met up with an old colleague here. Super nice service, great ambience and very tasty food.

Food really good, service extremely unfriendly except for Shajam. After waiting for 30 minutes, we were assigned a table, which unfortunately was occupied by a regular guest. Afterwards it was repeatedly made clear to us and also told that we were actually not wanted.

The schnitzel tastes really good and the portion is large. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. It's nice to sit outside :)
