restaurant [noa] in Köln

Attached you can see almost €70 on the table. No decorations, no effort, the food was just slapped on top. For the price you expect a little more than that. In the end, the eye eats with it ;) Unfortunately, the taste isn't good either. Been there for the first and last time.

a beautiful restaurant. Great atmosphere and very tasty food and drinks. Also a very courteous service. The vegan pistachio cake is a poem and out of this world! Please keep it up!

Delicious freshly made dishes, the mebu does not describe properly. It did exeed our expectations.

One of the best restaurants in town

We ate delicious tuna and homemade tiramisu for dessert

Modern ambience and trendy crowd combined with good cuisine. The location is good if you apparently want to have a drink or go dancing.

Last week we went to the restaurant Noa around 7:00 p.m. It was pretty full but they organized it well. Our food came quickly and everything was very tasty. The atmosphere was lively. We had a nice evening

On a beautiful Saturday evening we were looking for a nice restaurant in the Belgian Quarter. We wanted to sit outside! Actually impossible without a reservation! We were lucky! We ate a “starter variation”, fillet steak with vegetables, Wiener schnitzel with lentil salad. It was simply a pleasure!!! Thanks to the great service team! We'll be back

Overall, brunch at this cafe was great - the food was excellent, the prices were fair and the ambience was really nice. Unfortunately the service was a bit inattentive that day as the staff's family was visiting and thus probably drew attention to themselves. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall experience was very positive. The quality of the food and the cozy atmosphere definitely make it a place I will happily visit again!

Nice staff and delicious food. I'd love to come back.

Friendly and professional service mixed with great quality of food. Noa the owner is an amazing guy! Well done!

Service and food were really good, unfortunately a little cramped. But that's no reason not to go there!!

Food very tasty. Waiter nice. Steak was ordered medium, but a little too well done but not too dry. Still not medium.

This is really bad, never again, we are negatively surprised

While the food is good, it tries a little hard to be different. I don't need rolled oats in a green salad thank you!

Staff and owners are a force. We were warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. Not quite on the rings, but a lot of through traffic and a lot of looking. The food was good, served quickly and hot. Salad and schnitzel very tasty. The side dishes have a manageable selection. As a passionate schnitzel eater, especially the Viennese veal schnitzel, I miss the warm potato salad. Burgers, at least the two that were served to us, were pretty average.

First the good, I like the location and furnishings. Unfortunately the food doesn't taste particularly good. Very average steak and generally a boring menu with no love spicy dishes. The prices are okay for the location, but not justified for the quality on the plate. I was here 5 times and it wasn't convincing.

Extremely friendly and attentive staff without being intrusive. The baked potato always brings me to climax. A simple dish prepared to perfection. Each bite offered a harmonious balance of textures and flavors from fresh ingredients. A welcoming and warm atmosphere in the front area and somewhat spartan in the back area. I can highly recommend NOA to everyone and look forward to the next visit.

We happened to pass the Noa restaurant while exploring the Belgian quarter. Almost all the tables were reserved, but we were lucky 🍀 and there was such unusual, super fresh, delicious food. Totally nice service, time for a little chat - everything was just perfect 🤩

We had dinner there yesterday with 11 people. We were all thrilled. The food was all very tasty, especially the burgers. A completely different style, but still brilliant. The food came to everyone at the same time, great service. We will be back definitely.

You are always very well looked after here! Everything great! Attentive and courteous service & extremely friendly boss!

Incredibly delicious food with incredibly nice and good service! A clear recommendation - best with prior reservation.

Small, sweet Italian with super delicious food

The food doesn't taste particularly good. It's expensive and the portions are very small. The service was bad. We waited forever for the order to be taken even though there wasn't much going on. At the end you even had to queue up to pay!

It was my second time here and I still don't get the hype about this place. The food is well presented but somehow is missing some taste. First time I had the tuna steak was very good, but the truffle pasta was lacking some taste. Also the food came very fast, and the food was very hot, but hot in the sense that it was heated and not freshly cooked. Therefore it's not worth the price which is a tad too much. Staff is friendly

Since we wanted to go to the nearby Theater am Bauturm that evening, we thought we could have something to eat here at Noa beforehand. It had been suggested to us several times by friends, the online menu looked relatively monotonous, but we still wanted to give it a chance. We went there. It was a beautiful day, it was possible to sit outside, but it was starting to get a bit cold, so we wanted to sit in the semi-indoor area, there were only the high tables otherwise we were offered the tables outside. Since I have problems with my hip, I wanted a chair with a backrest, so only the tables outside would work. We sat down. Shortly afterwards, 2 English-speaking gentlemen arrived, but they were then allowed to sit on the tables previously indicated as “reserved for groups of 5 or more”. I clearly heard that these two young men did not have a reservation. We then waited another 5 minutes for menu cards - then got up and left, apparently no one was interested. The gentleman who brought us to the table seemed uninterested and somewhat condescending right from the start. You felt uninvited and out of place. We know it differently from our Cologne. A pity.

One of my favorite restaurants in Cologne. I don't know how many of my friends and colleagues I've recommended this restaurant to, but I know they all loved it. No matter whether it's tuna steak, fillet or salad - everything tastes great and you feel like you're in good hands at all times. Always my pleasure.

Nice and welcoming place, with outdoor tables :) friendly staff and fast service. We ate very well and everything was taken care of in detail with generous portions. If you are in Cologne you absolutely must go there also because it is famous for a typical dish "the stuffed potato" which is abundant and super tasty. We'll see you soon (I hope)

Very nice, delicious food, of course a bit expensive but upscale

Service was very nice, there was a free dessert for our birthday child. The food was okay for the price

We liked everything. The dishes and the service are perfect. Good vibe! Hot recommend

Super delicious food, nice service. Unfortunately it is often very crowded and the seating is rather cramped.

Very good time had, great food and atmosphere

Great, friendy service, tasty food well presented. Breakfast is fabulous! We come every year when visiting from Luxembourg. We‘ll be back for sure…

Very pleasant restaurant with friendly service, the scrambled eggs are fantastic, as is the bread because it is fresh.

The service was super friendly and you can sit outside very nicely. However, the food overall was a bit bland, at least the asparagus salad and the truffle pasta. The baked potato is recommended. The wine was okay but didn't blow us away. For dessert there was a tiramisu which was again very tasty!

Absolutely recommended, everything perfect! The baked potatoes are particularly recommended.

Service was good. The food is rather average, the price is typical for the location and the seating inside is a bit cramped. All in all ok, but not necessarily a recommendation. I would come back and try it again.

Delicious food and attentive service! The Noa Restaurant offers a lively ambience in which you can feel comfortable. If you like Mediterranean and European cuisine, you should try Noa!

Very good restaurant, magnificent service and very well presented dishes. I recommend 100%

It is now one of my favorite restaurants. It's incredibly delicious!! and a very pleasant atmosphere there. The owner of the restaurant and the service staff are also very sweet and nice. Looking forward to next time!

Exciting location, good food. Unfortunately unbearable acoustics. A lot of activity and entertainment becomes very tiring. Good wine selection. We had four different dishes, all delicious. Friendly service, but unfortunately it doesn't make up for the acoustics.

Super friendly team, good service, modern cuisine. The food is usually served very quickly and the kitchen is modern. You can put together many of the dishes yourself on the menu. However, the whole thing is relatively expensive. Nevertheless, the shop is always full, so it's better to make a reservation. At least if you are more than 2.

Fantastic evening at noa. Great food, great atmosphere, very attentive, friendly service. Thanks to the team!

Very good food and friendly waitress!

[noa] has been an amazing experience every single time. Clean, delicious food with excellent service. There is a reason why this place is always busy!

We ate here for 2 days in a row, top service, incredibly delicious food, everything beautifully presented, great wine advice, great hosts, thank you very much for your hospitality, see you soon in Innsbruck, Damir and Irena 🙏👊

kind staff, quick service. nice plating and good food. nothing to complain ♥️

Simply good food and very pleasant service. I also liked the shop. We had the schnitzel which was excellent, a tarte flambée with pulled cheese was also great. Of the mixed starters, I particularly liked the meaty versions. The vegetable side dish and puree were also rich and still super crunchy, which I really like. The execution and taste of the desserts are very well done. We had the baklava and the chocolate thing, I thought both were great. I wish you many nice gestures, great evenings and endless wealth that your efforts will be rewarded See you soon, thank you

Beautiful restaurant. Incredibly delicious food!!! The staff is very warm. Definitely give it a try if you don't already love it. <3

Good food, good atmosphere, staff are nice!

We ate very tasty. The service was very friendly. We will definitely come by again.

Good ambience and interesting, modern cuisine. Very friendly service too. We had a lovely evening here!

This is very popular restaurant in the heart of Köln. It's important to reserve a place in advance or you will have to wait.. It's very good located, you can park your car on the street. There are also tables outside of the restaurant which is very nice in the warmest evenings and more quiet than inside. Nice food and good drinks. Very nice service.

Billal is the best, food and wine were TOP

Delicious breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious food, nice waiters & great atmosphere!!!

Liked so much we went back the next night to do it all again. Well presented, beautiful food. Interesting and creative flavour combinations Good wine list. Fantastic service. Wildly buzzy, understated style , noisy and located right in the middle of the Belgian quarter.

Very tasty food, good service. Unfortunately we chose the high stools which were very uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was nice. We'd love to come back.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. We will come back in any case

The food arrived within 5 minutes of the order being placed, almost suspiciously fast. It tasted okay, the breading on the schnitzel wasn't light and fluffy and the truffle pasta neither tasted intense nor was it properly seasoned. I wouldn't order the pistachio cake again, the cream left my mouth feeling oily and the cake wasn't great either. But the staff was attentive and friendly. The ambience was okay, if you like a lifestyle restaurant then this is the place for you and for what you get it is relatively expensive.

Tight seating. Very loud. Food quite ok. But too expensive for that.

I have been very satisfied several times at the noa in the Belgian Quarter in Cologne. Very tasty food, good atmosphere, world's best owner (thoughtful, friendly, fast), beautiful location.

Unfortunately very loud and uncomfortable to sit

Hip restaurant, centrally located. Atmosphere was busy and loud, the restaurant was otherwise nice. Service was hectic but good and the food was tasty but a bit basic. Food came super quickly, but doesn't do justice to the price. Was ok but wouldn't come back.

Staff extremely friendly. Food and drinks also very good

There is really good food here at a fair price from nice people. Good menu with a large selection. But don't expect fries or nuggets for the kids ;) there is better here. The tuna steak was particularly good.

Sehr gemüütlich-rustikale Einrichtung. Speisekarte übersichtlich ,dafür alles frisch. Leider hoher Geräuschpegel. Essen sehr 😋 lecker .Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Freundliche Bedienung,aber falsches Essen gebracht. Kann ja mal vorkommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Modernes Restaurant mit kreativer Küche. Eine Reservierung würde ich empfehlen. Die Karte ist übersichtlich, es gibt viele vegetarische und vegane Alternativen. Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Preise sind vergleichsweise hoch. Das Ambiente war für mich nicht so ideal. Es war vergleichsweise voll und eng. Ein paar weniger Tische würden dem Raum gut tun. Das Team war freundlich und professionell. Bezahlung klappte problemlos mit Kreditkarte.

Wir haben zur Taufe unserer Tochter hier gefeiert und hatten ein hervorragendes Essen. Was wir besonders erwähnen möchten, ist die Herzlichkeit und uneingeschränkte Professionalität des Services. Die Dame ist jederzeit auf unsere Bedürfnisse eingegangen und auch Kinder sind hier sehr willkommen. Wo man woanders Angst hat aufgrund lauter Geräusche negativ aufzufallen, konnte man sich hier sicher sein, verständnisvoll und liebenswürdig behandelt zu werden. Hier macht jemand ihren Job mit Hingabe und mag die Arbeit mit Menschen. Danke, dass Sie diesen Tag für uns und unsere Tochter besonders gemacht haben.

Good food, good service but quite expensive. Steak was great but dressing up a plate with garnish and such would be the least you could expect for 35 euros (the meat was great though, no doubt about that!). Because of the popularity of this place it is quite busy and I would recommend to make a reservation. We did have to ask twice if our drinks were coming, but given the amount of people it is totally understandble that the staff was not able to keep up with everything. All in all a 4/5.

Although the interior isn't much to go by, and all the tables are quite small and cramped next to each other, also the music was quite loud, I couldn't recommend their menu enough! They have a great fusion of European dishes like pasta, schnitzel, and flammkuchen. We ordered the schnitzel with truffel mashed potatoes and it was excellent. Best mashed potatoes I have had in a while! But you can expect all the food, including the desserts to be quality food. On top of that, the portions were huge. You will definitely feel full afterwards.

Das Essen und der Service waren sehr gut. Die Tische stehen sehr eng beieinander, so dass man kaum die Chance hat dazwischen durch zu kommen, wenn man nicht schlank ist .

Eine sehr schöne, mit Charme und Indentität, Personal vermittelt Kompetenz und Freude beim Gast und die Speisen sind frisch und geschmacklich spitze. Sonderwünsche sind auch kein Problem und werden prompt erfüllt.

Essen ist sehr gut und das Personal ist auch super freundlich. Ich persönlich finde die Stühle etwas unbequem

In diesem tollen Restaurant erwartet dich nicht nur erstklassiges Essen, sondern auch ein herausragender Service! Wir besuchen es gerne und kommen regelmäßig zurück.

Ist immer sehr voll im Noa, Reservierung zu empfehlen. Der Service ist super freundlich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Das Essen ist von einer hervorragenden Qualität, die Portionsgrößen für den Preis absolut in Ordnung.

Sehr leckeres Essen zu angemessenen Preisen.

Gepflegt und Qualitativ gut Essen gehen? Wir gehen fast nie nach Köln und wissen auch nicht wer angesagt ist. Also einfach in Google in der Nähe des Zielortes geschaut und dann Rezensionen gelesen. Das Nou war mit 4.6 ja sehr gut 👍 bewertet. Und zu Recht. Ein ganz patententer und freundlicher Service der immer da war ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Das Essen aus frischen Zutaten und sehr gut abgeschmeckt und auch heiß auf dem Tisch. Lediglich das Tiramisu war schwach. Fertigware....? Insgesamt aber sehr angenehm und aus unserer Sicht ein sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Nous avons passé une bonne soirée dans ce restaurant Noa. La cuisine est originale et délicieuse. Le service est détendu, souriant et très serviable. L’arrière salle un peu bruyante mais conviviale. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Essen und Service waren ausgezeichnet, allerdings waren die Sanitärraume vom Geruch her fast unbetretbar. Ob das immer so ist oder einmalig, kann ich noch nicht sagen, deswegen vorerst nur ein kleiner Abzug beim Ambiente.

Sehr leckeres Frühstück, serviert von einer lockeren, aber sehr höflichen und aufmerksamen Servicekraft. Leider gab es keinen großen Pott Kaffee. Aber das ist mein Problem und keinen Abzug wert.

Wir waren vor unserem Zirkus Bouffon Besuch im Restaurant noa in der Maastrichter Straße essen. Ein einfaches Ambiente aber ein sehr freundliches Personal haben uns empfangen. Gut, dass wir reserviert haben, denn ohne hätten wir keinen Tisch bekommen. Das Essen war super. Wir hatten vier Speisen quer Beet. Über Nudeln, Flammkuchen und Fleisch bis hin zu 3 Dips mit Brot als Vorspeise. Sehr, sehr lecker. Kann ich nur empfehlen...........

Wir waren zum frühstücken hier! Sehr netter aufmerksamer Service! Gutes Frühstück! Können wir weiter empfehlen :)

Ausgefallene und leckere Gerichte, sehr netter Service und nette Location. Preis Leistung ist in Ordnung. Ich kann es empfehlen und komme gerne wieder!

Das Essen ist sehr gut. Doppeldaumen hoch dafür. Ein paar Punkte weniger wegen der extrem hohen Lautstärke.

Alles super, Essen toll, Service freundlich und on-point. Zu Stoßzeiten etwas beengt und etwas höherer Geräuschpegel, aber das ist für eine Lokalität dieser Art normal

Wir waren mit einer Freundin zur Fastenzeit (Ramadan) dort und haben Trüffelpasta bestellt, was auch sehr schnell ankam. Allerdings war es zu früh fürs Fastenbrechen, weshalb wir gewartet haben. Die Mitarbeiter haben sich auch ein paar mal umgedreht und nach 5 Minuten kam auch schon ein Kellner rüber und hat gefragt ob etwas nicht stimmt. Wir haben die Situation geschildert und die haben uns direkt das Essen weggenommen und gefragt, wann wir unser Fasten brechen. Eine halbe Stunde später kamen eine Kellnerin und der Koch persönlich mit zwei kleinen Schüsseln Linsensuppe, einer Schale mit Datteln( Muslime brechen meist ihr Fasten mit Datteln) und zwei Gläsern Wassern zurück. Kurz danach kam auch unser Hauptgericht aufgewärmt zurück. Diese Aktion werden wir nie vergessen! Zu dem waren die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich jedesmal wenn ich dort war! (Die beste Trüffelpasta die ich je gegessen habe.)

Wir waren zu dritt da und alle drei total begeistert. Sehr leckerer Pistazien Kuchen😍

Kühl und irgendwie nicht besondere einladend. Zumindest im hinteren Bereich. Service war relativ langsam und der Ingwertee war recht fad.

Tolles Lokal , ausgefallene Kombinationen an Zutaten. Sehr herzliches und aufmerksames Personal. 1a

Das Essen war total lecker, Bedingungen sehr aufmerksam 👍

Positive Überraschung, tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, hier wird spürbar mit Leidenschaft gekocht. Service natürlich, freundlich und professionell.

Sehr gute Küche und total freundliches Personal! Hier gibt es eines der besten Thunfischsteaks im Sesammantel. Meine Beilagenempfehlung: Trüffelkartoffelpürree.

Freundlicher Service, sehr gutes Essen. Das Ambiente / Interieur ist Geschmackssache. Auch die Lautstärke ist hoch und vergleichbar mit einem Brauhaus oder Kantine. Die Preisstruktur finde ich persönlich leider ein wenig zu "hoch". Trotzdem empfehle ich das Restaurant noa gerne weiter.

Thank you for the great evening. wonderful food, great atmosphere, a great wine selection and equally great service. see you soon!

Vibrant place, filled with people as of 6pm. Cozy atmosphere. The food was good & tasty, even a bit fatty (burger bun was rather a buttered/baked slice bread). We can recommend the salad with goat cheese & pumpkin.

Sehr freundliches Personal, man hat das Gefühl als würde ihnen die Arbeit richtig Spaß machen. Essen war mega lecker, viel Auswahl auch für mich als Vegetarier. Klare Weiterempfehlung!

Das Restaurant ist hübsch und der Service freundlich. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt meiner Meinung nach nicht ganz. Die Speisen sind nicht überragend und der Geschmack ist auch eher normal als etwas besonderes. Wenn es voll ist ist es auch leider sehr sehr laut und auch eng.

Ausgefallene und leckere Gerichte, sehr netter Service und nette Location. Preis Leistung ist in Ordnung. Ich kann es empfehlen und komme gerne wieder!
