Kulisse in Wesseling

Super nice location! We'd love to come back

I personally really enjoyed the ambiance, food, and service. We (20+ people) visited the "Kulisse" daily, which naturally put the team to the test. There were waits, of course...but who goes out for a leisurely meal and says "I don't have time?" They've also made provisions for the current season (summer). You can sit on a lovely terrace overlooking the Rhine, or a little closer to the bar under large umbrellas that protect you from the sun and rain. Oh no, wasps!!! They also make their presence known. Ask the friendly staff for a beer mat for your drink or a teaspoon of cranberries, and you'll be in peace.

We remember the setting from the previous restaurant. The food was always amazing. But now, unfortunately, I can't recommend it. I had a burger. It was topped with a ready-made meatball. My husband had a Jägerschnitzel, which didn't look freshly made either, and the sauce resembled an instant product. A real shame. And therefore too expensive. The service was nice. We come from further afield and were always impressed in the past, but now we're disappointed. The location is still beautiful. Please reconsider your food. We won't be coming back.

We've known this place for a long time and were regulars, but after the previous owner passed away, we came back and the atmosphere is just like it used to be 👍 nothing has changed. But the food is completely out of place. That doesn't make a nice offer and a pleasant atmosphere go away. The food is abysmal. Everything was completely disappointing. We won't be coming here again. A snack bar is better!

Had lunch today, firstly the lunch menu was not presented directly, secondly it was such a small portion that it could have been a starter, so we were very disappointed, and that at the prices, you can only come here for a beer. Otherwise, mega loyal

The ambiance is truly lovely, and the service is very friendly. The food was delicious, though it could have been a bit warmer...

We always eat there when we have the seminars at Renault 👌

Very good food and nice atmosphere, sat on the terrace in beautiful weather with a view of Father Rhine

I had to wait an hour and 30 minutes for my food. The waitress was incredibly unfriendly and rude. And I had a long hair in my salad.

A wonderful evening with exceptionally attentive staff. Sitting by the Rhine, enjoying delicious food. I'd gladly go back. The music took some getting used to; it was a jumble of different genres.

Beautiful presentation of dishes, delicious, the view of the Rhine is super. I liked it.

A beautiful beer garden above the Rhine. We took a break in this setting during a bike ride on the Rhine Cycle Path. We enjoyed the beautiful weather in the beer garden with a cool Kölsch beer. We didn't eat anything, but the food served to other tables looked very good.

The taste is superb. The ambiance invites you to linger. The staff is super friendly, even when it's full. Everyone has a good overview, and children are also catered for. Simply fantastic! We'd love to go back.

Simply amazing! Very delicious food! The service is very attentive despite being fully booked! A beautiful view, and there's a play area for the kids!

Fresh, delicious, superb The food was sensational Good value for money Thank you so much ☘️❣️❤️❤️🫶🫶

I arrived early for a concert by Kabelbrand as part of the "Rheinklang 669" festival. Two bands were scheduled to perform, with Kabelbrand being the second. However, contrary to prior agreement, the landlord only made room for one band and cut the second band's performance time so short that they left angrily. In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable and outrageous behavior toward artists who offer their services free of charge as part of a cultural program. I left, too. I cannot support such despicable behavior.

This is a restaurant with very friendly and attentive service. They have a children's menu and offer a children's special on certain days and at certain times. I highly recommend the fried blood sausage dish with caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, and roasted apple. They accept credit and debit cards.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and thanks to a special event, even live music. We'd love to come back!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! 10/10 in terms of taste – huge portions for a fair price, friendly and professional service, and the ambiance right on the Rhine is fantastic.

There were two of us, and we ate a lot for a good price (€70). The beers were deliciously fresh. The food (currywurst with fries) was truly a disaster. The sausage was only impressive because of its size, but the portion of fries was small and manageable. The curry sauce was completely overseasoned (far too salty, almost like it was laced with MSG). Both of our mouths were still burning two hours later. Here's a piece of well-intentioned advice: curry sauce with currywurst and fries doesn't belong with canned dried fried onions. Unfortunately, that's disappointing, but the Bruder Wirtschaft in Siegburg can make up for it a little with their Büble beer.

The beer garden is truly beautiful, but the food is absolutely abysmal, and the prices are outrageous. Three small potato pancakes with tasteless applesauce for just under 15 euros, and a carelessly thrown-together cheeseburger for 15 euros, too—no ​​one really needs that. It's a shame how the food at the "Kulisse" has deteriorated so much in recent years. Since the "long-standing" chef left, the "Kulisse" unfortunately falls into the "to be avoided" category. It wasn't the first time the food was so disappointing, but yesterday was certainly the last time for me.

I really enjoyed the food here. The location is fantastic – the view of the Rhine is simply breathtaking! Next time, I'd like the portion to be a bit larger, since pasta isn't that expensive. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the friendly service and the delicious food!

I really liked the atmosphere and the food, cozy and comfortable for quiet communication both for two and with a company.

We stopped at this establishment with our group of travelers (46 people), having booked before arrival so we could have a coffee and a piece of regional cake. We were indeed expected, but what a shame when they asked us for the bill.... Beware: a coffee and a piece of cake for €14/person is a disgrace.

We celebrated our wedding there and are very happy with it. The owner offers very fair prices for events and accommodates all requests. The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. We highly recommend it.

Truly a highlight in Wesseling. Everything was great.🥰I'd love to come back.

We were there on Mother's Day and were looking forward to a nice brunch. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Instead of offering a buffet - as is usual in many restaurants - the food was brought directly to the table. There were, among other things, scrambled eggs and cold cuts, but nothing really special. Reordered food simply wasn't delivered. The service seemed very uncoordinated. We ordered water three times and had to remind the staff again each time. We apologized ourselves, but a short time later we were forgotten again. The staff was rarely available and overall seemed overwhelmed. In addition, almost all of the plates had noticeable flaws. After three hours, a plate of potatoes and meat finally arrived - there was no vegetarian alternative. The portions were also very different in size. I would only come back if there was a buffet again. The restaurant used to be much better run. All in all, the will was probably there - but that alone is not enough. Especially not on Mother's Day!

Laut Internetangabe durchgehend geöffnet , auch die Küche bis 23.00 Uhr.Obwohl Lokal offen war wurden wir nicht bedient. Es sei erst ab 17.00 Uhr offen. Dafür 30 km umsonst gefahren.

The shop is nice, the staff is nice, the food is good. I don't think the price/performance ratio is quite optimal. Seems quite expensive to me.

Good service! Asparagus is absolutely delicious! Good view of the Rhine. Inconspicuous from the outside, beautiful on the inside

Great service and excellent food at reasonable prices, would be happy again...

Sehr schlechter Service Kellner Katastrophe Und das Essen Schon Klasse. Besser gegessen Chef war sehr nett bei der Beschwerde Aber wir werden nicht mehr hin gehen

Thank you for the organization and also the flexible possibility of expanding the space. The service was super attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty, thank you!

You can really spend a lovely evening there.

With a back yard overseeing the Rhine, this place literally owns a license to printing horeca money. Food is typical for the area, Flammkuchen, Reibekuchen, Schnitzel, etc. During our recent visit, we found the service competent and polite. The back yard could be better kept though.

Very tasty food and great cake! Friendly, courteous service.

When someone welcomes you like that, it's impossible not to come back. Staff, atmosphere, food, all 10 Highly recommended

Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm. Side dishes didn't seem to be included either. The decor is pretty worn. Otherwise, it was quite nice.

We were here for lunch after a training session, and it was fantastic! Despite the busy place, we were served quickly and very politely and courteously! The food was delicious; everyone enjoyed it. I particularly like the potato soup, which was probably the tastiest potato soup of my life! Thank you for 3 days of great lunches, and thank you for the wonderful atmosphere and the fantastic service 👍🏽

Good, home-style cooking with a modern twist. Large portions, service that ranged from attentive to very attentive. I also appreciated the lack of that typical restaurant smell.

New ownership, new possibilities :) There is huge potential for this romantic (old school) German Restaurant. With Mediterranean management and domestic environment one can expect good quality food and culinary surprises. It is new start for management with traditional local heritage at the same time. New owner is welcoming everyone who comes :) I would encourage all to go and see for themselves. I like this place ❤️

I'd prefer 0 stars, as there was nothing to rate. I spontaneously wanted to come in for dinner shortly before 9:00 a.m., and according to the website, the food was served until 11:00 p.m. First, they said it was too late. They pointed me to the website, then they said it was an order from the chef, and then they said there was no chef on site. Another couple had a similar experience.

We were invited there for a training session at Nissan. Good food, fast service, friendly staff. Even a parking space in front of the door.

The price/performance ratio isn't right. We were there for brunch on a Sunday. I'm happy to pay €26 for a good breakfast, but there simply wasn't much choice here. Furthermore, the drinks were only refilled sporadically. Many of our table didn't get the only "special" item, namely salmon, because there wasn't enough of it and they didn't refill it. I actually went home hungry. The drinks were also expensive. However, the other guests' a la carte dishes looked good on their plates. Nice atmosphere and service. But I won't go there again, and neither will my companion.

The coffee was very, very strong, a furry sensation on the tongue. We had to dilute it with at least 40% water and milk to make it drinkable. In the first round, a light hair was baked into the scrambled eggs. The fresh salad was still quite edible. All the other dishes were really not worth the €25. There was also store-bought muesli, milk, and sliced ​​fruit, but only flat plates. No desserts, little ready-made chocolate spreads. No orange juice. The atmosphere was nice, though. Especially if you can sit outside by the Rhine. No recommendations for Sunday brunch.

Very cozy restaurant, delicious food and very friendly service!

We had a family brunch there. For ~25€ per person I expected a lot more! There was only plain baguette and plain buns, no croissants, no pancakes, no different kinds of bread or buns whatsoever. The whole brunch area wasn't labeled at all. So if you have any allergies or can't/won't eat certain things, you are on your own. Overall, there are very limited options for vegetarians! Some of the vegetarian food was in contact with meat or fish also. The vegetables and some of the fruits were obviously not cut on the same day, there was mould on some of the tomatoes. Some plates went empty soon and they got only replaces after some uf asked them to, several times. The coffe was extremely sour! There weren't any plant based milk options as well. The changing table was under a not functioning lamp in a dark and cold hallway. The childrens toiletseat was broken. The interior was quite nice and the space to sit was generous. The view outside is very nice and the service staff was very friendly.

Beautiful restaurant, great decor with a stunning view of the Rhine. The service is super friendly. The food, however, could have been a bit more substantial. It wasn't bad, but for the price, I would have expected a bit more flavor. The tomato sauce definitely needs some improvement.

The taste of the food is okay, but I find the prices for the rather simply prepared dishes a bit ambitious. The service is friendly and the atmosphere can be described as appealing and cozy.

Beautiful food, beautiful wine! And top service!! Thanks

Very nice beer garden with a great view. But you can also sit comfortably inside and eat well.

It used to be really nice here. The new tenant has somehow made it less nice, both in terms of the menu and the value for money. What a shame!!!!

A quick stop at lunchtime that was worth it. We only ate a little something, but it was pretty good. There was baked sheep's cheese with fresh herbs and bread and a tarte flambée. Everything was very tasty and freshly prepared.

lunch with collegue was sunny we sat outside on the terrace next to the Rhein very friendly and quick waitress good pasta value for money and anytime again

Super nice location and excellent staff.

The drink prices are just too high.

Cozy inn that has benefited from the change in ownership. The chef knows his craft. The service is hardworking and friendly.

Fine restaurant, good food and very nice people. Good terras with view on the Rhine.

Great restaurant and very friendly staff! The prices are a little more expensive but the portions are relatively large and the view and location are great!

Friendly staff and good service

Food = good to very good But toilets like in the train station, please improve, then 4-5 stars.

Dinner was ok so far, not top-notch gastronomy but what do you expect from schnitzel, fries and the like. Btw fries: Unfortunately these thin muddy fries and therefore not very tasty. You can do better! Staff are very young and partly inexperienced, so things can go wrong. Billing wasn't quite right either. But they tried to be friendly. Depending on the table, the view is very nice, and it's also nice for children to watch ships. All in all, you can definitely go here.

Great food, right on the Rhine and really friendly, fun team 👍 What more could you want? So when we're in the area again, we'll definitely stop by again 🤗

Great restaurant, we had a great breakfast/brunch today. A great start to Sunday. Very nice and friendly staff. Highly recommended…

They were very accommodating and friendly. Food was ok.

Nice place, nice food, but burning gardenweed while having guest eating was a bit... Meh. Overall a good experience.

Celebrated my wife's birthday there, service was very nice and courteous, the quality of the food was at a very high level. Ambience, mild summer evening with a view of the Rhine, what more could you want.

We've been there 3 times now...it's fine to sit and drink...but we were all disappointed with the food 3 times

Views of the Rhine from some tables. However, these tables mostly lack sun protection. Otherwise more of a normal beer garden or restaurant atmosphere. The service is friendly. However, the price-performance ratio is not right. Tarte flambée, salads, etc. are significantly overpriced, but the quality is rather unremarkable. The prices quoted are reminiscent of the region's tourist hotspots.

Nice atmosphere Otherwise you had to wait 1 hour for food Other guests even canceled their orders

Arrived here as a walk-in and they still had room. The service is very good. I suspect it was the owner/manager, who was very attentive. Immediately arrived with a high chair. He also had a nice box with drawing pencils and two drawing books for the children. There is a nice play area for children with a slide, some toys and a play kitchen. The food was very good. We (2 adults) had the snitzels Wiener art and mushrooms. Not very big, but we got two of them. The kids had fresh salmon and chicken nuggets. The salmon tasted good, but was a bit dry. Fresh gnocchi was served with the salmon in tomato basil sauce. The nuggets are freshly made from very tender chicken meat and are wonderfully crispy. The portions are more than sufficient. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Very nice service and a nice view, but €10.50 for a piece of frozen cheesecake with cream leaves a bad aftertaste that you've been ripped off here. I didn't have the card given to me, I just asked about the selection of cakes... For this reason, unfortunately no recommendation.

Delicious food, Very nice waitresses and a unique view of the Rhine while eating. Came from the direction of Cologne by bike. After Cologne, the “Kulisse” was the first restaurant/beer garden. I was warmly welcomed for lunch in cycling clothes and well fed. In front of the restaurant there is an air pump station and a machine with bicycle tires. In terms of price, it may not be what you plan on your bike tour, but it's not terribly expensive either.

Wir haben Lasagne und ein Zigeuner Schnitzel ,eine Flasche Wasser. Das ganze war unserer Meinung nach viel zu teuer und die Qualität war nicht gut. Die Bedienung war freundlich.

Really great location with a sun terrace. The lava cake is highly recommended for dessert!

It's a very nice restaurant and very big. I think the price was expensive, the food tasted okay. If you pass by by bike it's really nice for a lunch break or to get drinks, but I still think eating is too expensive.

Beautiful little restaurant with a sun terrace, a wonderful view of the Rhine and delicious food.

Lunch is just too expensive. With two people, we paid 52 € for 2 rhubarb spritzers, 1 non-alcoholic beer, water and 2 schnitzels without salad, that's a lot 😳

It's a shame it wasn't brunch, it was breakfast. Everything was put on the table that had absolutely nothing to do with brunch. Not to mention the price is outrageous!!! On the internet and on the phone it was described as a buffet and the price was also incorrect. We had to get dishes ourselves from the set table in the restaurant because we had asked to eat outside. We were the first guests so I didn't think it was that great, that's not appropriate. Especially since there was nothing to do yet or even then it wasn't appropriate. It's about the principle We were very disappointed, it was a shame, I felt sorry for my son on his birthday. Please update on the internet Paint your page and write that there is breakfast and delete brunch. I'm or are really pissed off paying 179.00 euros for what? Incredible M. Hammerman

Unbeatable location with beer garden on the Rhine. New tenant, new card. There will also be staff. Homemade bread with great alioli. Homemade pasta. Tarte. You should test it.

Gemütlicher Innenraum und eigentlich schöne Terasse mit Blick auf den Rhein. Im oberen Teil allerdings das Ambiente einer Müllkippe, weil überall etwas rumliegt. Die Speisekarten waren total verdreckt. Bedienung ist freundlich und war ok. Essen hat geschmeckt, ist allerdings Stangenware. Was überhaupt nicht geht, sind die Preise. Burger für 19 00€ und Schnitzel über 20,00€ für Ware von der Stange geht echt nicht. Für den Preis kann man bei allem Verständnis bessere Qualität erwarten.

The location is beautiful, especially in the outdoor area, some places directly on the Rhine. The young ladies in service were friendly and quick, and there wasn't too much going on. The somewhat outdated charm of the past now seems much friendlier. Personally, I just find the pricing very ambitious. Over 20 for a pork schnitzel with fries, without salad (!) is unparalleled in comparable locations throughout the area. With salad it costs just under 30, - and the other prices are also above average. In another good Wesselinger tavern you can get a good 10 euros cheaper with comparable quality and ambience, as can many restaurants in Cologne and Bonn. In fact the pricing is stopping me from visiting again, it's just good for the prices but nothing special.

You come in here and immediately feel at home. Very nice atmosphere, the service was super friendly and the food. Yes, the food was simply amazing. The starter plate for two easily passes as a main course for two. Absolute recommendation.

Had lunch with a friend yesterday and we would love to come back ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Large bottle of water 8.50 without the price being stated in the menu. This is the absolute highest price so far.

We can't understand all the negative reviews. We were there on a Saturday evening and were greeted and served very quickly and warmly. The food was great, the service too and the location is very nice. We'll definitely be back!

An meiner gestrigen Betriebsfeier war ein Kellner mit einer Brille anwesend. War mit Abstand einer der besten den ich je gesehen habe, der Humor der dort geboten worden ist, war sensationell. Außerdem gab es dort eine Möglichkeit, in 2 separaten Räumen die Europa Meisterschaft zu verfolgen. Von mir eine klare Weiterempfehlung

I was there with my two visitors in May 2022 due to its promising location with a nice view. Unfortunately, I regretted this decision. The woman who worked there as a service personnel was very unfriendly. She was straightforward rude. This was an unpleasant experience for us. An absolute no-go.

All in all very nice. The service was very friendly. The food was okay too. Only the furniture is a bit old.

Very tasty food and friendly staff. That's fun

Just had something to drink, food - schnitzel with fries - at the next table didn't look good and was there within a very short time.. 4 wines about 28€

Great beer garden, nice staff, family atmosphere, good steaks. I always enjoy coming here. Goose breast is also fantastic in Advent!

Brunch, super great selection. Friendly staff. Simply delicious and nice atmosphere.

Cozy restaurant on the banks of the Rhine

Very nice beer garden right on the Rhine, delicious food and fast and friendly service

We were very excited today. The food was really very good. The schnitzel and fried potatoes were the best we've had in a long time, like they were homemade. But the salad also tasted good. The menu is very good, you will find a good and sufficient selection of dishes here. Both the service staff and the new owner were very friendly. The wait for the food was reasonable. We had a nice table in the beer garden with a view of the Rhine. The furniture is well-kept and comfortable. We'd love to come back.

The food was delicious as ever and the service was friendly. And of course the ambience is, as we know, unique.

We were there with a group for brunch. The food is brought to the table and not as a buffet. The selection of food served was not large. There was one bottle of orange juice for 11 people, the additional glass ordered had to be paid for separately. The cappuccino was also charged extra, as was every reorder. So that came to €40 per person. The service was very attentive, but one waitress is not enough for the entire restaurant. The ambience is great, the view of the Rhine is very beautiful. However, that doesn't make up for the negative points, so none of our group goes there anymore.

A very nice restaurant where you can eat like at mom's. The service is great and everything was just great. We will definitely come back more often.

The waitress is outdated and completely sleazy, very friendly, but everything takes forever
