Miguelitos in Köln

Great discovery in Cologne! We were thrilled, highly recommended!

Very, very good food with fair prices. We had ceviche, lomo salteado, ají de gallina and crema volteada. It was all delicious!

Very tasty and authentic food from Peru, including ceviche and chicha morada. Very friendly service and very relaxed atmosphere!

How can it be possible that we waited for a long time in front of the door on Sunday (supposedly open from 2 p.m.) and had to leave because the restaurant was simply closed? There was a woman standing next to us who came specifically to Bonn and also left. Not really serious.

Small place, with excellent Peruvian cuisine! It feels like they cook for you at home and the service is excellent. 100% recommended.

Excellent service, and delicious food...Exzellenter Service, leckeres Essen

Very good traditional Peruvian food, unfortunately hardly any vegetarian options, but still extremely tasty.

Authentic Peruvian cuisine! The ceviche and the sautéed loin are delicious! And the chicha morada is one of the best I have ever had. The prices are excellent. The place is small, run by its owner. It is worth visiting because the food is excellent.

The service and food was delicious, it reminded me of my Peruvian mother. Thank you!! 100% recommended

Real Peruvian restaurant. You feel like you are at home in Lima. After 10 years we finally found the best Peruvian restaurant in Germany A good reason to go to Cologne.

I highly recommend the food, it's delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Excellent seasoning and excellent service, Mrs. Alicia very kind and affectionate. He made us a delicious Creole soup that took away the cold! The purple chicha and the turned cream uhmmm

Peruvian restaurant with authentic cuisine. The dishes were great for the price and the nice owner served herself. The beef heart on a skewer was the best of all. Almost an insider tip!

Very good food and with quantity, all very good and very good service, I recommend the chicha morada to drink.

The food is very delicious, but the service is very delayed, 1 hour for the food to arrive

Since I moved to Cologne, Miguelitos has been my #1 restaurant in the city. The food tastes like you're visiting someone's home. The owners and waiters have always been very, very friendly. I order ceviche almost every time I come over and it never gets boring. At Miguelitos you not only get to know delicious food, but also a piece of Peru's culture.

If you like authentic Peruvian cuisine and otherwise have a relaxed lifestyle, this is the right place for you. It's just super delicious. Highly recommended.

The best Peruvian restaurant in Köln. The food is truly wonderful, and authentic, like home. The dishes are always delicious, fresh. The owner and staff are very friendly. Full full full recommended!!

The food is very delicious. Everything was fine. I will return

We spontaneously looked for something near the main train station. Everything in the immediate vicinity was completely overrun. It was Gamescom Friday night. Peruvian had its charm. As the pictures show, it looks like a snack bar. The guest room is correspondingly small, comparable to a kitchen-living room. Tables and chairs are very narrow. Five of us found space at the only large table in the room. The owner immediately came to us, asked if we were there for the first time and began to explain how things work in her restaurant. Although she speaks German very well, we could hardly follow her. The place was relatively full and a bit loud at the moment, with Peruvian music playing on the television in the background. I gave chase after she left and had it explained to me again. There are boards with the dishes to the left and right of the counter. An X marks dishes that are currently not available. In front of the counter behind which she cooks there is a self-service drinks fridge. I studied the signs and chose three dishes for myself and my children that we could freely move among ourselves so that we could try them all. I also used Peruvian lager for all drinks, dark and light, as well as Peruvian Cola, which was the only exception that didn't go over so well, but was fun. My impression was yellow jelly, others compared the taste to chewing gum. The food was very good. I don't have a favorite now. Something was reminiscent of potato pancakes with minced beef, another was reminiscent of shredded chicken, another was reminiscent of goulash and another had something like rump steak in strips. I had the impression that portion sizes and price are related. It would also be noteworthy that potatoes often seemed to be part of the vegetable side dish. In any case, the owner is very friendly. The preparation was quick because everything was freshly prepared. I will come back when I'm in Cologne again. Maybe next year. It would be desirable for the space to be enlarged. As for toilets, we didn't feel the need, but would be a mandatory addition if not available.

Very unpleasant service; I entered with my baby's stroller when the restaurant was EMPTY and before even saying "Good morning," the woman serving scolded me in a very bad way saying that I cannot enter with a baby stroller because the restaurant is small. Obviously we left. Very unpleasant experience

Very delicious food, helpful and attentive. I will definitely come to try more of their menu.

Excellent presentation, exquisite food!!

Excellent Lomo Saltado! There is no loss very rich.

It is a small but cozy restaurant, the lady who I guess is the owner of, made us feel very welcome. The food was better than expected tasting Peru in every bite 🥰

The food was very authentic, the owner was very nice. We had to wait a bit, but everything was freshly prepared. Definitely recommended! 😊

Anyone who reads my reviews of restaurants will quickly realize that I always try to be fair. Why am I writing this? Because I really want to be fair here too. This review is still really negative. Service: Unfriendly! No real attention is paid to the customer. You order and then you are left to your own devices. In addition, you are not greeted politely when you enter the store. The first exchange takes place in a rather rude tone when it is pointed out that it is taking longer, even though the store was almost empty. We waited 30 minutes for the drinks. The food didn't come at the same time and only after 1.5 hours for 2 people. I didn't order a second drink (pisco sour) because the waiting time would have been too long. Ambiance: Old, not renovated, not really attractively decorated. Loud TV with tinny sound. Food: The ceviche was good. The rest was really unappealing. Kept very simple. It lacked complexity. The Pisco Sour at the next table was much better prepared. Prices: Unfortunately, the prices are high for the entire package. Alternative: I would suggest a visit to Tigermilch as a better alternative in Cologne. Prices are similar and the food is much tastier. From pisco sour to ceviche.

My companion and I ate here for the first time today. We chose the “Seco de Carne” dish. The service was very, very nice and sweet. There was also interesting Peruvian beer. Simply a lovely experience. We look forward to the next time!

Very bad and unfriendly service. Food was good three years ago but now it's not really edible. That has nothing to do with Peruvian cuisine anymore. When entering the restaurant, as a Spanish-speaking German, you are greeted with an unfriendly: "que quiere". In German: “what do you want”. The table wasn't clean and we waited a long time for the food. Because food costs as much as in an upscale restaurant, you get worse service than in fast food restaurants. And the food is a disappointment.

We arrived 20 minutes after opening and the waiter just said, "We won't be opening for half an hour." FANTASTIC! Authentically Peruvian!!! We ended up going somewhere else because we didn't feel like waiting, but the feeling was amazing! Keep it up!

Pequeño restaurante familiar con un trato muy agradable y con una deliciosa comida. Sabores puros y tradicionales. Platos generosos. El ceviche mixto y el lomo saltado estaban deliciosos.

Too expensive for the food’s quality they offer.

Potato cake with beef was phenomenal. The beef with rice was a little tough.

Great atmosphere, food was great and the service was very friendly.

The best Peruvian rest in Cologne!!! The Tacu tacu is highly recommended

Very good food and friendly environment! Recommend!

Amazing food and very kind staff! We had the ají de gallina and anticuchos to share and they were very delicious and filling. Overall great experience, just remember cash only!

I absolutely cannot agree with the reviews, maybe today was a bad day, I can't explain it any other way. We were in the restaurant for 3 hours, you can only feel sorry for the two older women who basically have to do everything themselves. That's why it takes so long. Tamales were good. The fish in the ceviche was of poor quality, press crab meat, 2 medium prawns, a clam, fish and 2 more mussels, appetizer sized plate for €29, nothing in terms of taste and nothing in quality either, I suspect a cost of goods of €5. The other dish was Lomo Saltado, which I couldn't eat, my wife ate it and vomited 250m after leaving the restaurant. I'm sorry for the bad review but for €150 including drinks, I can order 3 menus at Caruso Pastabar which is a Michelin Guide recommended restaurant. I have never been so disappointed with the price/performance.

The food was really great, very delicious!! I really enjoyed the flavor and variety of Peruvian dishes. 🇵🇪 And the dessert, flipped cream, reminded me of my childhood. The problems here are the following: The first problem is the schedule they manage, they are very spontaneous and disorganized. On two occasions I went to the restaurant, and it was closed even though they did not give notice in any way (neither on social networks nor in the same location). Second, you can only pay in cash. The third problem, and what most outraged and disappointed me, is the treatment they give to the customer. The last time I went, the lady who served me was very arrogant. Although the food is good there and I have highly recommended it before, since my last visit, I no longer recommend it. It's a shame that there is such bad service, and being compatriots.

I have waited for 45 mins to get my food. As I had to catch the train, my husband got it as take away. I even would not pay for it… Now I am travelling to the airport while getting starving!!!

The food is always freshly prepared and always very, very tasty. However, this also takes time. We often wait sometimes almost 2 hours for the food. The waiting time is also the only negative point. Otherwise everything was great!

Extremely delicious food, freshly prepared every time. So it can take a while before it's on the table at peak times, but that's just how it is when the food is freshly cooked. Really extremely tasty and absolutely recommended!

Visiting Köln again from Berlin and we went to eat Peruvian delicacies at Miguelitos: Sea duo, stuffed potatoes, tacu tacu and anticuchos, with their respective purple chicha and then beers. Very rich everything and thanks for the kindness! We stayed at Miguelitos, it was much nicer there again! A small restaurant and recommended, for example papa rellena and anticuchos. Everything was delicious and the portions were appropriate. We'll be back!

This place was a great find! We felt like at home. The atmosphere was very homely and the owner was welcoming and friendly. The vegetarian options were finished but the owner came to meet us by offering us a vegetarian alternative not on the menu. The food was delicious and the portions were generous, among other things at reasonable prices. Highly recommended! We will be back for sure, thanks.

One of the best restaurants in Colonia, if you like Peruvian food this is the place. Excellent dishes, abundant and very good price, and the best thing is the attention of the Ladies. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!

Terrible attention and service, I do not recommend it

Very tasty and authentic food from Peru! It's worth taking a look here! 100% recommended :-)

Never been to Peru, now I absolutely have to go there! Delicious.

Great Peruvian restaurant with very good and authentic cuisine! Always happy to visit!

Delicious. Small but nice. Erlige kitchen.

Very authentic Peruvian restaurant. Definitely a recommendation!

We tried Miguelito’s on our first night in Cologne and was not disappointed. The food was amazing and so tasty. The seafood rice and seco de carne was well priced for the flavours and portions we received. It was a perfect home cooked meal after travelling for a long time. The staff and service was incredible! Could not recommend more.

Small, inconspicuous shop right opposite the University of Music and Dance in Cologne. The ambience corresponds to a snack bar, the food on offer corresponds to a good middle class restaurant, very tasty, definitely recommended.

The food is super tasty & you can also ask for things that aren't on the menu board (like chicha morada or fried yuca). Super recommended!

one of the best food spots in town :-)

Very tasty real Peruvian food!! The owner is really nice and the heart of the business! Thanks ! The only thing missing is a toilet.

The food was really good but unfortunately the staff ignored us for 40 minutes and we had to wait 30 minutes. Also, we couldn't pay with a credit card. The truth is that we felt discriminated against.

Ein wahrer Geheimtipp! Das Essen ist eine Geschmacksexplosion, die Wirtin und die Köchinnen unfassbar nett und wirklich gut! Wer hätte gedacht, dass dieses kleine Lokal ein Highlight in unserem Köln-Besuch ist und einem für einen kurzen Moment vermittelt, die Welt zu bereisen und zu bestaunen!

A culinary gem with Peruvian cuisine that is far too little known to us. Very tasty food, very friendly service, also very nice guests all around. Highly recommended is the ceviche, a type of fish salad, raw like sashimi, with lime, onions and chili. But also the beef with bean paste and rice... delicious! There are also Peruvian lemonades and beers. We will definitely come back when we are in Cologne again!

A real insider tip! The food is a taste explosion, the landlady and cooks are incredibly nice and really good! Who would have thought that this little restaurant would be a highlight of our visit to Cologne and allow us to travel and marvel at the world for a brief moment!

Very good restaurant offering a fine selection of traditional Peruvian dishes. The service is very friendly and pleasant. We particularly like the anticuchos and the chicha morada drink !

Super tasty and very authentic Peruvian food. Chicha morada as a drink with everything is a must. It's a shame that the place is a little cramped, but the food and friendly service more than make up for it.

Sehr schöne authentische atmosphäre, warmherziges personal, unglaublich gutes essen, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

👌🏻Delicious food 👌🏻Good presentation of dishes. 👌🏻 Good attention. 👎🏻Long waiting time (1 hour 27 minutes). 👎🏻It's a bit expensive (my opinion).

Great service and fast delivery and only Peruvian food.

First time trying such a tasty restaurant in Cologne. The attention and food have been 10! The flavor of the food was simply incredible, eating there was like eating at my grandmother's house. I will repeat without a doubt :)

Very cute little restaurant near the old town. Delicious food...friendly staff...and reasonable prices. Unfortunately, toilets are opposite in the music school

I spontaneously went to Miguelitos today and am thrilled. The food was really delicious and the service was very friendly. However, the menu is very clear if you don't like coriander...

The food is good, reminiscent of a typical menu restaurant in Peru. The service is bad, it took them 1 hour to serve us the food. There were no windows.

Only to recommend👌🏽 we love it💖

Super delicious food, friendly service.

High quality, a little long wait but worth it.

Arrival 6:20 p.m., first drink received after 30 minutes. At 6:50 p.m. 1 starter and 2 menus were ordered. Starter at 7:20 p.m., first menu came around 8 p.m. Second menu 8:30 p.m. The food was top class and the prices were appropriate for the market. Negatively, the extremely unusual waiting time is to be criticized. A pity.

Delicious! Cozy, familiar. Any time :)

We went for dinner on February 14 and were served by the owner, Mrs. Alicia, who is charming. The place is cozy and with background music. As a starter we ordered a very delicious fish ceviche but a little spicy for my taste. Main dish: aji de gallina and a delicious lomo saltado, all very tasty and with that touch of home. RECOMMENDED! **Tip: bring cash.

The food was not worth the 1.5 hour wait and bad service. Good: -Ceviche -Chicha morada Bad: -1.5 hour wait after we had ordered and a constant : "it's coming" for 45 min. -a pisco that was offered to us because "they had made one extra one"(and that we thought it was free, but subsequently charged at €11. When asked about it, they responded that "no one that offers anything gives it for free." -the desinteresed service. Overall a very bad experience.

Super delicious food, fresh and prepared live.

Everything is perfect from the service to the food, everything is a 10/10!!!!!

Super delicious food! You have the feeling you are sitting in the living room with friends. We can only recommend it!

Some of the best food I've ever had! Absolute must if you are in Cologne! Very nice ladies who cook with love. Recommend the Tacu tacu

Very tasty food and very warm owner! We will be back definitely!

Incredibly good food. Very nice service. Cozy, simple feel. Like a phenomenally good neighborhood restaurant in Peru. Be sure to go before word gets around. Clear recommendation

Very delicious food and very generous portion. Very friendly service too

By far the best ceviche! Definitely coming back :)

That was super tasty and very nice staff!👌🏾

We had the sea food fried rice (Chaufa de Maricos) and another item which I sadly could not remember the name. They are both amazing! I ended up wanting to eat more despite being full. The waitress was super friendly as well, so this was a very good experience! She even gave us a free snack to go and say it’s a surprise 😂 One thing I want to add though: you have to be patient with this place. It’s small with only 2 cooks that we saw, therefore the food would take some time to prepare. When we went in at 14.30, there were 4-5 people just ordering before us and we got the food almost 45 mins later. Despite somewhat a long wait, we were so pleased and happy with the place and will definitely go back!

Very tasty food, you just have to bring a little more time

La comida es muy deliciosa y a buen precio, una pena que el servicio es pésimo.

Das Essen war himmlisch. Man hat sich in Lokal so gefühlt, als man einfach in Peru wäre: einfach und herzlich. Die Kellnerin musste mit vielen Sonderwünschen von anderen Gästen kämpfen. Sie ist trotzdem cool geblieben. Jederzeit wieder.

La señora que atiende de mal humor, la mesa al costado de la ventana estabil y las sillas ni que decir …

Das Essen im Miguelitos ist sehr lecker und authentisch peruanisch 🇵🇪 Ich habe mich gefühlt wie in einem kleinen Restaurant in Lima 😀 Die Preise sind angemessen, die Portionen sind gut und auch die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich komme gerne wieder und kann das Miguelitos mit 5⭐ weiterempfehlen. Edit 2024: Das Miguelitos ist immer noch eine Empfehlung wert. Leckeres und authentisches peruanisches Essen 🇵🇪

Das Essen war wirklich lecker, die Bedienung (ältere Dame) war sehr nett und freundlich. Als es um das Zahlen ging kam leider eine junge korpulente Dame unfreundlich daher. Da hat man gemerkt, für sie ist der Gast nicht wichtig, sondern das Geld!!! Deswegen nur 2 Sterne beim Service und leider kein Trinkgeld. An der Atmosphäre könnte man noch arbeiten!

La comida deliciosa, el servicio exelente Lo recomiendo por si visitan Colonia o viven en Colonia

Leider kann man nicht mit 6 Sternen bewerten :) 100% zu empfehlen, echtes peruanisches Essen. Die warte Zeit kann ja ein bisschen lange Zeit, es lohnt sich aber.

La señora Alicia es un amor de persona, y todo su cariño se ve reflejado en su deliciosa comida! Se siente como en casa! Sehr Empfehlenswert! ✨

[GEHEIMTIPP] Super gutes Restaurant Köstliches essen !! Das beste Peruanische Restaurant weit und breit Top Service, Top Essen Wir werden noch so viele male wiederkommen😊

Eines der besten, die ich in Deutschland gekostet habe, ausgezeichnete Qualität und authentische Aromen. Ich habe einen Reis mit Huhn bestellt 🤯. SCHMECKIG. Frau Alicia ist ein Schatz. Die Wartezeit war akzeptabel. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen 😍

Son las 2 de la tarde, se supone que abre a la 1. Llegamos y está cerrado, no es festivo, no es lunes o martes que cierran. Que actualicen los horarios y no hagan ir a sus clientes hasta ahi para nada.

Das Essen schmeckt wirklich gut, das einzige was stört, ist die extreme Wartezeit!!! Man muss wirklich viel Zeit in Anspruch nehmen! Und es ist schlecht belüftet, ma riecht danach extrem nach „Restaurant, fett, Grill“!

Excelencia en comida peruana, en verdad lo recomiendo mucho, la cocina es auténtica y casera peruana, todo es muy fresco. Yo no vivo en Köln vivo en Múnich pero cada que viajo a esta ciudad pasó oblgatoriamente a Miguelitös, la señora Alicia es muy amable te hace sentir en tu casa, sin duda uno de los mejores restaurantes peruanos en Europa.
