Restaurant Fährhaus in Köln

Wir hatten dort reserviert und wollten uns einen schönen Abend machen. Aber wir standen dann vor verschlossener Tür mit einem Hinweisschild: wegen einem technischen Defekt geschlossen. Sehr merkwürdig

wenn Lunch Angebot auf der Homepage steht, sollte es auch angeboten werden. Ich stand vor verschlossener Tür freitags

Top Lage mit Blick auf den Rhein. Essen (Salat) war lecker. Personal sehr freundlich.

Nach Neueröffnung nicht mehr das, was es mal war.

Wir haben gut gegessen: saisonales Menü mit ausgezeichnetem Spargel. Unser Gericht war etwas zu salzig. Guter Service und angenehmes Ambiente.

Wir haben eine super freundliche Bedienung angetroffen und hier sehr gut zu Mittag gegessen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung und die Lage direkt am Rhein außerordentlich schön. Immer wieder gerne!

Der Service war sehr gut. Das Essen war hervorragend. Dieses Lokal kann ich nur empfehlen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Die Speisen waren sehr lecker und appetitlich serviert, das Personal war sehr freundlich, und der Blick auf den Rhein ist immer grandios.

Schönes Ambiente. Gutes Angebot an Speisen und Getränken. Guter und freundlicher Service.

Tolles Restaurant direkt am Rhein. Nach vielen Jahren Mal wieder zum Mittagessen hier und total begeistert. So eine schöne Atmosphäre und Aussicht über den Rhein! Das Mittagsmenü mit Suppe, Auberginenröllchen und Kaffee war ausgesprochen lecker. Sehr zufrieden.

Die vorangegangenen Bewertungen werden dem Restaurant aktuell nicht gerecht. Okay, die Einrichtung ist geschmacklos. Aber das Essen war es nicht. Und unser Kellner war auch sehr freundlich. Ehrlich, es war so viel besser als ich es, nachdem ich die Bewertungen der letzten Monate gelesen hatte, erwartet habe. Kann man wirklich mal machen!

bediehnung ist freundlich. essen was essbar aber nicht top. guter durchschnitt. fisch war besser als fleisch.

Bisher haben wir immer sehr gut gegessen, aber heute: Dorade bestellt. Diese war trocken und kam mit einem süß sauer scharfen verkochten Sauerkraut und aufgewärmten Kartoffeln. Wer kommt denn auf so eine Idee? Sehr schade.

Wir haben hier im kleinen Kreis (9 Personen) eine Geburtstagsfeier veranstaltet. Das Geburtstagskind hatte sich das Fährhaus ausdrücklich gewünscht, da wir früher oft dort waren. Da wir vorher einige eher gemischte Bewertungen gelesen hatten, sind wir ohne große Erwartungen gekommen – wir wussten ja, dass die Lokalität alleine es schon wert ist - und wurden sehr positiv überrascht: Das Essen war köstlich, der Service freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr angenehm. Und der Blick auf den Rhein macht die Atmosphäre wirklich einzigartig. Für unsere Feier war es genau der richtige Ort - wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden sicher wieder kommen.

Sehr schön und das Essen war sehr lecker

Sind hier nach einem Spaziergang eingekehrt. Bei Waffeln und Schokolade haben wir es uns gut gehen lassen.

Sehr gutes Essen und toller Service. Nettes Ambiente und ruhig..Es ist alles sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Freundlicher Service, gute Qualität, Fisch frisch

Wir waren zum Mittagsmenü im Restaurant und es hat uns wirklich sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, frisch und geschmacklich top – und das zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Außerdem war die Kellnerin extrem freundlich, aufmerksam und herzlich. Insgesamt ein richtig angenehmer Mittag – klare Empfehlung!

Silvester : mit dem Gruß vom Chef-Koch waren es insgesamt 7 Gänge, alles fein und liebevoll zubereitet, außer vlt. Risotto, obwohl es eine reine Geschmackssache. Mit richtig guter Weinkarte rutschte man dann glückluch ins neue Jahr

Great location right on the Rhine, the food is very good, the service is friendly and excellent. Highly recommended.

A fantastic restaurant experience, especially the service – always smiling and very attentive. A big thank you to the lovely colleague! :)

Lots of character, great location right on the Rhine. We were particularly impressed by the exceptionally friendly service, and the food was quite good too. The wide selection of mezze is highly recommended; vegetarians will find plenty of options. We had a lovely lunch :)

Because of Corona we couldn't go there for a long time, but it's still worth a visit today. The menu, especially in the starters section, has been expanded to include Greek specialties. The waitresses were friendly and attentive, the wines were selected. The view from the terrace of the Rhine and the Cologne skyline is priceless. Corona has been over for a while now, but we still really enjoy being here. Everything is just right, especially the service is warm, regardless of whether you are a regular customer or are here for the first time.

Excellent value for money! The current goose offer with a glass of wine is very reasonably priced, even by Cologne standards. The goose breast was amazing: it practically fell apart on its own – what a delicious meal! The family also had appetizers (octopus rings, baked cheese) as well as steak, Wiener Schnitzel, and a sensational chocolate mousse. Sure, it's not cheap, but worth every penny! Super friendly staff, too! What a lovely evening! In the end, we were just as happy as our bread dip 😊

A wonderful restaurant on the Cologne Riviera Food is ALWAYS fresh and cooked to perfection. The wine recommendations are also excellent. The service team is outstanding and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Great view, very good food, the service is excellent.

The food was very good quality! The atmosphere was quite nice. The service could have been a bit more attentive.

Super friendly staff, excellent value for money

Always a beautiful location on the Rhine. Friendly service and delicious food. A tip: Wiener schnitzel with warm potato and cucumber salad.

Very nice restaurant, right by the river. Great view and atmosphere. Very good food.

Last night, I enjoyed wonderfully delicious entrecôte and veal liver. Very well prepared, as it should be. Good service, good value for money, and a lovely ambiance with a fantastic view.

Very nice location directly on the Rhine, the Mediterranean appetizers were fresh and tasty.

The food was delicious 😃 The waiter was very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely.

Great location, but it's getting old, the food is so-so, and it always smells a bit musty and greasy.

Fine dining, lovely ambiance. It was very tasty, but the portions were more than manageable for the rather high price.

Great food, helpful staff, good atmosphere and a panoramic view of the Rhein.

Nice restaurant, great location, good food and friendly service.

You sit with a fantastic view of the Rhine, the food is delicious and the service is very friendly.

We were served such a delicious meal right before the kitchen closed. We weren't expecting that at all. Okay, the price is a bit high, so you'd expect something solid. But it tasted absolutely wonderful. 😋🍻

Always cycled past, which is a shame. I loved the atmosphere. Ordered just a small bite, which was completely satisfactory. I'd happily return!

Very tasty and you can enjoy the day comfortably on the shore

Very tasty, very friendly and great view

Very good recommendation, we tried many different starters, it is only designed for 2 people, well done

You want really good food and a beautiful view? This is the place! Special recommendations: Vitello Tonnato to start and Steak with Chanterelles. But come hungry 😉

Yes, but my souvlaki was dry and much too coarse.

I ate veal liver. The food was great, but the portion was more than modest for the price. It didn't help that you could look directly onto the Rhine from the window.

Time and time again, I've been pleasantly surprised by how good the food is. I can recommend it to everyone.

Great location, but unfortunately the food leaves something to be desired. The wait for food is very long, and the food itself is nothing special.

A perfect stay! Thank you so much

The location and ambiance are first-class, and the evening atmosphere is perfect. Unfortunately, the piece of Wiener Schnitzel (veal) was even thinner than the parking disc from the car... The side dishes were okay, but the schnitzel was more breading than meat...

Top restaurant with a fantastic view of the Rhine with a view of Cologne 👌

We were there with a larger group. Nice service, great location and good, tasty selection of mezedes, happy to be back soon!

The reservation worked best and quickest. We waited about 60 minutes for the food even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. Some of the food was not served as ordered. Changes would have been possible with a further waiting period, so we did not accept the offer. The entire meal (schnitzel, entrecote, lamb, fish, gratin, potatoes, fries) was more lukewarm than hot. Overall the service seemed overwhelmed. Price-performance ratio wasn't right.

Very nice restaurant and the ambience was super good. It's a shame that the staff and the menu have unfortunately made the restaurant somewhat questionable. Waiter very confused, forgets orders and who ordered what, unfortunately the menu contains more starters than main courses and no desserts. In addition, the waiting time was far too long and there was no slaz and pepper with the food.

The ferry house is located directly on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne-Rodenkirchen. We visited the restaurant on Easter Sunday without a reservation. The reception and placement were nice and quick. Because there was nothing on the main menu to our liking, we opted for a potpourri of starters. The waiting time was absolutely fine, the quality of the food was between very good and room for improvement. For example, a dressing for the farmer's salad or vinegar and oil would be mandatory in my opinion. If the carpaccio with the halloumi consists of woody slices, it doesn't taste particularly good either. The service makes an effort but even more could be done. For example, simply offer a spoon if the starters are to be eaten by two people. Or you can also implement your own offers directly. With two juice spritzers and two cappuccinos, the final price on the lid is €70.00...that's not cheap. Take a look for yourself when you're there. All in all, I rate the experience four stars.

I like the restaurant very much

Very tasty food in a lovely atmosphere with a view of the Rhine and friendly service.

Service very good, food good, good wine selection. Be careful: we'll be back 😉👍

Food, service and ambience very good! However, there is no parking space anywhere...

Very tasty food and friendly, attentive staff.

Favorite restaurant in Rodenkirchen :-)

We were just there and the food was more expensive and wasn't great either. But I don't think it's the food's fault, it's the chef's fault that he didn't have such a good experience cooking the things. It doesn't have to be again, there's better food and better ambience.

The food was delicious. However, the portions were a bit small.

Hello everyone, we had dinner this evening and we were thrilled.

With a view of the Rhine, you can watch the hustle and bustle on the banks in the rustic interior or on the terrace outside while enjoying Greek and German delicacies. We were particularly impressed by the rich meze in both quantity and selection. Yummy. The service is also good.

Price/performance is not justified at all. The best part was the bread with olive oil and the music. Definitely not recommended.

Very nice restaurant with good food and drinks. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Reservations and reception were easy and friendly! Extensive menu (tapas-like varied starters, main dishes with a maritime focus, but also local and regional selections), as well as an extensive menu of high-quality drinks. Four of us each chose a 3-course menu with different dishes, accompanied by an aperitif, Kölsch, excellent wines (with prior advice) and then espresso and digestif. All food and drinks more than satisfied us in terms of quality and quantity. The staff is attentive at all times but not intrusive, provides good advice and is always open to individual requests. Great service! The ambience of the dining room (slightly cold) could perhaps be readjusted, but that may also have been due to the dark, rainy January evening outside. Things certainly look different in summer on the outdoor terrace directly on the Rhine. We will come back! From our point of view is

Very attentive and extremely friendly service. Excellent food and good ambience in the restaurant. We had a very nice evening there.

Recommended, very attentive service

Staff very friendly. Everything was very tasty. Merry Christmas

In my opinion, the restaurant only lives from the view. For the price the food is nothing special. And the ambience doesn't give you the feeling of being in a good restaurant

There were four of us and we had different starters, main courses and desserts. Everything was very tasty and attractively prepared. The service was very friendly and attentive.

Tried it yesterday on a recommendation and didn't regret it. Great atmosphere, nice service, the food was delicious.... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice atmosphere, good food, but in the end something was missing everywhere. Be it the attention of the staff, that the steak was not fried as requested, or that requests were simply forgotten. Definitely not the best for the price, but it has a good foundation.

Very tasty, good service, great view.

Very nice location on the Rhine with a great view of the Rhine and Cologne. The food was very solid. :-)

It was awful. The food was very expensive. 12 tortellini for €18.90 and then not even homemade - finished product and the coq au vin cold, the puree limp. Disaster. Staff ok. But nothing more.

Today we had dinner in the ferry house with three people. The location is really unique, located directly on the Rhine with a view of the panorama of Cologne. BUT: The prices are quite reasonable (large apple spritzer 6.80 euros), probably due to the good location and Rodenkirchen. And the service staff was so listless and unfriendly that even a "thank you" for the tip was no longer possible...

Service and food absolutely perfect, special requests were also fulfilled in a very friendly manner! We particularly recommend the sea bream fillet on tomato as a starter, not dry and excellently seasoned. Various main courses were all very tasty, the liver was simply sensational! Some portion sizes could be a little larger, but overall everything was great!

Great location right on the Rhine. Courteous service. Surprising variations of the dishes with a Mediterranean Italian and Greek base. Where can you find fava...

We just had a delicious meal there. The two of us shared four starters. Plenty of bread was provided. Very nice and attentive waitress! Great view of the Rhine!

Great service! Very tasty food and a really nice location!!!

Disappointment across the board. After several years of abstinence, we visited the Fährhaus for dinner. We first ordered an aperitif and a wine and a Kölsch for the main course. The pasta with chanterelles was rather average with a watery sauce and had to be seasoned with salt and pepper. The pork chop priced at €28 was a surprise (see photo). A mini piece of meat, 1 cm thick, completely fried and bone dry with 2 bacon beans and a dollop of potato gratin. After a quick taste test, the dish went back to the kitchen. The drinks with the main course were now completely forgotten. The bill only came after I remembered. No apologies, no “booze” on the house. Luckily, there are many good restaurants in Rodenkirchen with good service and reasonable prices. We won't bother the ferry house again in the next few years.

The starters could easily be seen as being similar to tappas. There were also some vegetarian items there. The main courses were rather manageable. The staff was nice even when an order went missing (:

View of the Rhine. A beautiful location even in heavy thunderstorms.

Food good and service friendly 😊

Very good food and very nice service, it was great again, thank you very much! 😀

Beautiful at the River Rhine with a view on the river and Collogne. Tasty food and great Greek wines. Nice service. Beautifully located on the Rhine with a view of Cologne. Delicious 😋 food and excellent Greek wines. Very nice service.

The Fährhaus is a nice restaurant in a top location. The staff was extremely friendly and we even got a table quickly without a reservation. However, food isn't really my thing. The bruschetta was more of a cheap small pizza and the linguine, although tasty, had an excessive amount of oil. Overall, in my opinion, the price-performance ratio is not right.

It was very tasty and the ambience on the Rhine is very nice

A Perfect Restaurant very friendly Service Perfekt sightseeing on the Rhine

Expensive and unfriendly staff sums it up. Even the view of the Rhine doesn't help. Definitely the last visit.

Really cozy restaurant with a beautiful view of the river. Delicious menu card and attentive staff.

Great view of the Rhine. Parking difficult. Service totally dull, no smile, not a friendly word. The food was way too expensive, corn-fed chicken was eaten with two side dishes. The side dishes were much too small, two forks each. Overall the dish was ok, but you can't justify paying €28 for it with the view. There are better alternatives.

Amazing authentic place you feel you are in New Orleans but they speak German. I love it. The only thing I do not like is that you must have cash. They don't take cards. I really do not like that detail. But what can we do. Cannot have all in life right? 😆

A great restaurant with a special feel-good atmosphere. Food, drinks, service are perfect...

As always, very good. Sitting right on the Rhine and eating good food is great. There is also a lot on offer for vegetarians

In short: The food, which is unfortunately really overpriced in terms of price-performance ratio, is okay, but the portions don't really fill you up without a starter (and dessert). On the clear cheese plate that we took as a starter, two of the high-priced types of cheese listed were missing or had been replaced by lower-quality cheese. That for €8.50... At around 5:00 p.m., no mousse au chocolat could be served because it wasn't ready yet (original sound: "Maybe it won't be liquid anymore at 6:00 p.m.). The friendly one The waitress, who seemed helpless, tried to sell us the crème brûlée, which was, as expected, average and very sweet for €8. Conclusion: On a completely rainy day of the week, it was nice to sit on the covered and warmed terrace. The prices would have been justified for the ambience and the location, but unfortunately not for the food. We might try again after 6 p.m.
