Meer sehen in Köln

Super friendly atmosphere and very tasty food.

Very special, very tasty, incredibly friendly service!

Very, very tasty, great, friendly and attentive service ...and a really nice beer garden

Very nice Spanish wine and the veal on ciabatta is amazing 👏 🤩 👌

Delicious tuna, a great beer garden, and atmospheric decor. Plus, the friendly staff – it's perfect. I'd love to come back.

Yes, absolutely... It's like being on vacation...

This is a quaint tapas place that I visited with the research lab I interned with last summer. The entrance is quite conspicuous, so I was really surprised to see the spacious courtyard in the back. The natural plant growth and fairy lights were very cozy. There were lots of tapas options and they came out pretty quickly, which made for a good spot to visit with friends if your objective is to chat for a while. They also have an indoor seating area with a TV for rainy days.

Super delicious, fast and friendly service, a super nice owner, very professional and accommodating. Perfect with friends or colleagues. All the tapas are highly recommended, as is the wine. Simply trying everything from the menu is great fun.

We were able to celebrate our wedding at "Meer sehen" (Sea See) and are thrilled with Petra and her team. She decorated the beautiful courtyard with so much love and, together with all the staff, gave us a truly wonderful day. The food and service were outstanding, and everyone's warm hospitality contributed to a wonderful, unforgettable day! We couldn't have imagined anything better – thank you so much!

Sooooo: The reservation concept could be improved. You can only make reservations starting at 8:15 p.m. Otherwise, you're supposed to just show up and choose a free table. Your heart rate will rise if you arrive there by Uber around 6:30 p.m. and everything is booked...but we were then very relaxed and moved after a quarter of an hour. After that, everything went smoothly, even though we had to wait a long time for the food. But it was also packed and therefore quite warm and loud, which is why I'm so disappointed. The food was really delicious and the service very attentive and friendly. Overall, highly recommended for tapas 😋👍 You just have to snag a free table...😉

A very nice and stylish restaurant with a cozy beer garden in the heart of Ehrenfeld. Friendly service, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food.

Very cozy, very child-friendly, super friendly staff. Aquariums + screen/projector --> view of the ocean --> cool design, always something to watch. Our food wasn't that great this time, a bit too cold, everything wasn't quite as flavorful, but still acceptable. We'll be back next time ;)

Cozy beer garden in the back courtyard. Small but fine menu. Very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food, except for the baked fries with guacamole, which were basically dessert and were lightly seasoned. The garden is a lovely place to sit.

It's all very unpleasant. Even when making a reservation, you feel like a beggar, made to feel like you have to thank them for accepting your reservation "as an exception" for 8:15 p.m. instead of 8:30 p.m. If you arrive a little early, you're not allowed to sit at another available table until the reserved time, but are instead asked to "walk around the block a few more times" before that time. Likewise, you're not asked if you'd like to simply pass the time with a drink at the completely empty bar. While walking around the block, we found another beautiful restaurant where we immediately felt welcome. Shortly before 9:00 p.m., we received a call from the restaurant, but of course, we didn't answer it.

Tucked away in the back courtyard, it's quite charmingly done. The prices are high, but the food and wine are truly delicious. The only downside is the seating... so uncomfortable that it was impossible for me to stay there for long.

Unassuming from the outside, the interior is lovingly designed. A great courtyard with a wonderful atmosphere.

Simply a very nice beer garden to have a good time with friends....everyone is very nice❤️

Ambience is really sweet outside in summer. But unfortunately the food doesn't do the trick. The intern probably cooked there on the first day.

One of the shops I miss most about Ehrenfeld. Beautiful terrace, but also super cozy inside.

Such an authentic shop with a lot of heart. The food was incredibly tasty and all the employees were super friendly and attentive. We are totally convinced!!

Great restaurant with 5/5 stars for the ambience! The service was friendly. Reservations can be made in advance by telephone. The selection on the menu is very interesting, from classic Spanish tapas to fries, currywurst and schnitzel. We focused on typical Spanish dishes. The bacon-wrapped dates are great, as are the potatoes, the grilled vegetables and the goat cheese. The food was great and the prices were reasonable. I would like to try more dishes again. The Spanish tapas still have some room for improvement.

A cute little restaurant on a side street in Ehrenfeld. The food is always excellent and the service is attentive and very loving. You can just feel good. If possible, you might want to make a reservation in advance to get a table.

Very nice restaurant, with a menu for all tastes, whether vegetarian or with meat and fish. All very tasty.

Great ambience, delicious food, friendly and attentive service. We always like to come and see the sea

One star deduction, unfortunately I didn't like the ambience, otherwise the food was great and the service was good.

Very cozy, delicious food and an extremely nice boss.

Unglaublich- Ein Kellner mit Tshirt "Intifada bis zum Sieg" - warum nicht direkt ein Hakenkreuz an den Laden hängen? #KeinPlatzFürRassismusUndAntisimitusmus.

It was very extensive and tasty, we will be back

I recently revisited this Mediterranean restaurant, and I must say the experience has improved compared to before! The menu now offers an even wider variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, from the savory kebabs to the rich, creamy hummus. The ingredients tasted more authentic than ever, and you could really tell each dish was prepared with extra care. The ambiance has remained warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff have stepped up their game too—attentive and friendly, making sure we felt welcome throughout the meal. While a few dishes still could use a bit more seasoning, the overall experience was much more satisfying this time around. I’ll definitely be coming back—solid 4-star experience!

Super tasty tapas. There are also a few skin dishes that are constantly changing. We have always eaten very well. The service is great.

Unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to test the quality of the food or the ambience. Since it would have been important for us to clarify something there before a birthday dinner with friends, we tried to contact the restaurant in advance by phone and email. Since no one was available or responded despite multiple requests for brief feedback, we chose another restaurant. We will certainly not choose this restaurant in the future because of this attitude.

Nice beer garden, delicious antipasti. Nice service. Definitely worth a visit. We'd love to come back

Two days ago I went to see the sea again with friends. It's always a successful short vacation. We like a delicious selection of tapas with delicious drinks best. Highly recommended!

Always great. I like everything on the menu, but our favorite is the currywurst 🥰. The service is really good and courteous. The boss especially loves what she does. And you can taste and feel it.

From the food (quite bland and unspectacular), to the drinks, to the ambience and service...completely average with a lot of room for improvement. The courtyard is nice but the interior seems a bit characterless and is definitely too dark for eating.

I love seeing the sea. It's worth coming here with several people so that you can order and try a lot. The service is friendly and quick, and there is a large selection for vegetarians.

Always happy again, especially in the “beer garden” at the back. 🙂

It was my first time today. Love the food and friendly staff. It's worth every penny. The yard is BEAUTIFUL.

A great place to stay, whether inside or outside... it's just beautiful, great cuisine and very friendly staff! We are also happy to come with a dog!

Simply the best in Ehrenfeld, incredible schnitzel and everything.

One hour wait after ordering. Never again.

Very cozy little “beer garden” in the middle of Ehrenfeld. Small menu with very tasty tapas and unusual dips. We like coming here. Employees are always very friendly and helpful. No reservation possible in the beer garden season: First come - first serve, so either be there early or have some time to wait.

Very nice restaurant with a great outdoor area in the backyard. Delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Food below average and service leaves a lot to be desired.

Seen from the street, you wouldn't think there would be such a nice courtyard. The food, simply delicious. We'd love to come back when we're in Cologne again

The location is very nice, unfortunately the waitress didn't manage to bring us anything to eat in just under 2 hours. Therefore, I cannot recommend the restaurant and will not come back.

*Schockmoment* Wir waren mit einer Gruppe Freunden in diesem Laden und mussten mit Entsetzen feststellen dass hier offen zum Mord an Juden aufgerufen wird. Ich muß dazu sagen das wir selbst jüdisch sind. Der Kellner trug ein "Intifada bis zum Sieg " T Shirt! Kein Frieden für Palästina oder Free all Hostages, sondern ein Shirt mit der Aussage das alle Juden getötet werden sollen. Darauf angesprochen tat er unwissend und sprach vom Recht auf Widerstand etc. Wir haben den Laden natürlich entsetzt verlassen.

Very nice place, nice service, good food. What more could you want (sea)?

Super nice service, food was fantastic and sitting outside was really pleasant with the last rays of sunshine.

Helpful staff. Nice vibes. Good wine list

The beer garden is a must in summer!! My friends and I received super-friendly and quick service today in the beautiful, almost secret garden. (The service is great!!) Seeing the Sea must be visited at least once by every Cologne resident. Really deserves 5 stars!!

Very nice beer garden, excellent service, very good food, fair prices!

Nowhere else in Cologne will you receive such friendly and attentive service. You feel very welcome. The food is super tasty and fairly priced. And the backyard beer garden is simply an oasis.

Unfortunately there is a lot of draft inside from the inner courtyard.

See the Sea offers a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that is perfect for a cozy evening. Despite initially appearing empty, the beer garden surprises with a lively atmosphere. The staff are super nice and make you feel welcome straight away. Prices are decent and represent good value for money, especially considering the quality and taste of the tapas on offer. A visit is definitely worth it, don't be put off by the initially empty restaurant - most guests sit in the beer garden.

We ended up at “See the Sea” by chance and were immediately impressed. The beer garden is very nice, the food is delicious and the team is great! We felt very comfortable and it certainly wasn't the last time we were there.

...another wonderful evening, delicious food & drink, super friendly service, not too far away. THANKS to the entire team 💖 GLADLY AGAIN ANYTIME

Nice little restaurant with delicious food and a changing daily menu.

Simply great. Super delicious food, very attentive service, chic beer garden. Price/performance top, only recommended

Unfortunately, the potato and cucumber salad was ice cold instead of lukewarm... Nice ambience.

Super friendly service. The tapas were ok.

Although the restaurant is very dark and doesn't seem particularly clean, we go out to eat and look at the sea every now and then. The food is generally very tasty, but the bread is so stingy, which I can't understand. The lady with the blonde long hair is very nice and friendly. She always greets you so warmly that you immediately feel welcome. Thanks for that🙏🙏The other lady with the braid, well...I don't feel comfortable when she serves us because she seems dominant and latently annoyed. Somehow I don't like their closeness and their style, so I don't go to the restaurant that often...And mind you, I'm not talking about the person here, just the behavior! Well-intentioned feedback! It's a shame...Otherwise many thanks to the kitchen, it's so delicious - thank you for your effort!🙏🙏🙏We're happy!🥰

Simply delicious treats, super nice service - always happy

Food was great atmosphere too. Really recommend the tuna.

Very tasty food. Great service and always worth a visit

Food is good, ambience is great, service could be better.

Essen war sehr lecker und die Preise passen zur Qualität. Sehr freunlicher Service.

Super netter Service, so dass wir uns sofort wohl fühl(t)en. Regelmäßig wechselde Tagesgerichte, mit Liebe zubereitete Speisen. Preis-Leistung gehen völlig in Ordnung. Wir können es nicht erwarten auch mal im Biergarten zu verweilen. Tolles Team, wir sagen herzlichen Dank.

Mega liebes, zuvor kommendes, freundliches, Personal. Egal wie voll der Laden auch sein möge. Ich mag Euer Essen... Getränke gut gekühlt. Alles wie es sein muss. Einfach so weiter machen. Danke für diesen wunderbaren Ort. 😊

Hinter einem eher unscheinbaren Eingang zur Straße öffnet sich im "Meer sehen" nach dem Betreten eine kleine Oase in Ehrenfeld. Das Interieur ist mit Liebe zum Thema ausgesucht und arrangiert worden, die Bedienung freundlich und höflich zuvorkommend, die Speisenauswahl breit gefächert, hier ist für Alle etwas dabei. Ein kleiner Biergarten im Hinterhof rundet das Besuchserlebnis ab, einfach gemütlich.

Ein richtig gutes Restaurant. Total lecker.

super leckeres essen und total schnelle und nette bedienung!

Wir sind begeistert! Der Service war ausnahmslos fantastisch (witzig, zuvorkommend,aufmerksam) und die Tapas sehr lecker. Die Aufbereitung der einzelnen Tapas hat uns sehr gut gefallen und das Ambiente im Biergarten bei Kerzenlicht war äußerst schön. Wir kommen gerne wieder, vielen Dank!

Tolle Tapasbar, mit guter Küche und entspannte Athmosphäre. Der Biergarten ist sehr grün und gemütlich.

Wärmstens zu empfehlen! Im Meer sehen kann man zu fairen Preisen bestens essen und trinken. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und zügig. Außerdem gibt es einen wunderschönen Außenbereich, der im Sommer allerdings meist belegt ist. Also lohnt es sich etwas früher zu kommen.

Eines der besten lokale in Ehrenfeld!

Gutes Tapas, guter Vibe und richtig netter Service.

Absolut empfehlenswert: super freundlicher Service, große Auswahl an Tapas, Preis-Leistung völlig in Ordnung. Sowohl drinnen als auch draußen fühlt man sich sehr wohl.

Einfach gut! Super leckere Speisen starke Getränke und ein süßer Innenhof zeichnen "Meer sehen" aus. Der Service ist aus meiner Sicht überragend. Sehr aufmerksam, immer freundlich und mit Spaß bei der Sache. Immer wieder gerne.

It's fantastic, easy going place, great tapas, great wine, interesting but simple interior, intelligent yet easy staff, all tasty, atmosphere very local, not too loud, nice garden in the back - I'll be coming back!

Super nette Bedienung ich fand die Portionen etwas klein für die Preise

Zauberhafter Innenhof, leckeres Essen und netter Service. Schöner Ort.

Delicious food, nice Biergarten, kind staff.

Sehr lecker Tapas und gute Portionen.

Toller Service und sehr gutes Essen

Eine nette Location mit über Beamer laufenden Bildern vom Leben im Meer. Innen recht eng mit mehreren höheren Tischen u Barhockern. Ausgesprochen nette Bedienung. Tapas waren überwiegend lecker.

Gemütlich dort. Vor allem der Außenbereich! Leider sind die Speisen dort nur mittelmäßig.

Weiterhin lässig, entspannt und super freundlich und lecker!

Super lecker, unvergleichliches Ambiente und toller Service! Eines der besten Restaurants in Köln, sehr zu empfehlen!

Fein lecker entspannt… Dankeschön

Super schöner Innenhof, viele Schattenplätze, mega gemütlich! Sehr netter Service, leckeres Essen in Tapas Varianten.

unglaublich schönes Ambiente, Tapas und Wein/Bier und sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienungen. Von aussen pfui von innen hui - top!

De super tapas avec un service très sympa !

Schöner Biergarten, im Restaurant viele Sitzmöglichkeiten sowie draußen. Service super freundlich. Meine 90 jährige Mutter war total begeistert.

Ich hätte ihn übersehen und bin daher doppelt so froh meinen Abend dort verbracht zu haben. Danke. Es war super lecker. Und die Petra ist ein wahrer Schatz. Ich komme wieder

Gut gefülltes Restaurant mit sehr zuvorkommenden Bedienungen. Das Publikum ist gut durchmischt, teils alternativ. Die Qualität des Essen ist gut. Die angebotenen Speisen auf der Menükarte sind belanglos zusammengewürfelt und nicht sinnvoll ausgewählt. Cocktails sind nicht die Stärke des Restaurants (1 Stern Abzug Essen). Die Idee vom das "Meer sehen" ist sehr gut, leider ist sie völlig ungenügend umgesetzt (2 Sterne Abzug Ambiente). Daher wirkt der Raum eher wie eine Low-Budget Fisch-Kantine in der man lieber kürzer als länger verweilen möchte.

Einfach nur super !!!! Essen top, Bedienung top

habe kein meer gesehen. schade.

Mega lecker und gemütlich. Ich komme hier seit 20 Jahren hin und bin immer wieder begeistert.
