Restaurant Zum Buchheimer Kreuz in Köln

Super friendly service with lots of humor and charm. The Cordon Bleu is always a delight!

We came to your restaurant today completely spontaneously. Despite the large number of guests, we were seated immediately. Everyone was super friendly and professional. The food was truly delicious and plentiful, and the prices were absolutely fair. We'll definitely be back!!!

Wonderful ambience, first-class service, and all the praise for the food! Recommended as a home! 🇷🇸🏡❤️ P.S greetings for the main assistant chef 🐒

The best food I ever eat and the place and atmosphere is like you at home Service and the owner of the restaurant is perfect It has a first class roasting. The chef is international and can cook all kinds of cuisine, professional. It has bowling music, perfect for gatherings and celebrations and everything.

Very friendly service, super delicious food. 5 stars are not enough

The food deserves 6 stars. You feel like you're back home, and the multilingual service is a great way to bring your family from the Balkans. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, great service, good prices, what more could you want?

I was there on Sunday, and even with the new owner, everything was just as great as before. Super friendly waiters, great food, super clean, highly recommended.

We spontaneously reserved a table with the now new owner. Very friendly staff and delicious food 👍 will definitely come back.

Highly recommended. Excellent food, quick service, and genuinely friendly staff. A very pleasant atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Four of us went out to eat today for my mother's birthday and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The food was delicious and the portions were really generous. The Buchheimer Kreuz is definitely worth recommending!

Yes, definitely. Four of us were with you today. Everything was great. The nice waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much. We felt very comfortable.

Great atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, friendly service and a good atmosphere with good music.

Very friendly staff Food was very tasty

After more than 20 years, I visited Zum Buchheimer Kreuz again – now under new management – ​​and we were completely thrilled! We were there for a family meal with three generations, and there was something for every taste. Whether it was goat cheese as a starter, a grilled platter, or zander fillet – everything was fresh, lovingly prepared, and absolutely delicious. What was particularly nice was that even special requests (such as a combination of starter and main course) were easily accommodated and met with a smile. The service was attentive, warm, and always present, without being intrusive. Even our younger guests were treated with kindness and made to feel at home. Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere where you feel welcome and want to linger. A great restaurant for all generations – we will definitely be back!

I just had one of the best schnitzels and fries of my life! The schnitzel was crispy and juicy, perfectly cooked. The fries were golden brown and crispy, just the way I like them. The service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend this restaurant! An absolute must for all schnitzel lovers!

Great restaurant! Simply delicious, great prices, and a lovely atmosphere! Very friendly service!

We were here for the first time today. We were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and cozy atmosphere. The server was very friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic. Large portions for a fair price. The steak was highly recommended. The cevapcici was super juicy and perfectly seasoned. The pljeskavica was amazing, filled with delicious cheese. We'll definitely be back. We wish the young, new team all the best.

The goulash noodles and the veal schnitzel are absolutely not recommended. Salad was also rather poor.

Seit Dezember habe ich das Restaurant übernommen und freue mich darauf, viele neue Gäste begrüßen zu dürfen. Ich lade Sie herzlich ein, unsere Küche und unseren Service selbst kennenzulernen. Ihr Feedback ist uns wichtig – nur gemeinsam können wir noch besser werden. Willkommen

The food was very tasty. Always my pleasure.

We absolutely loved the Restaurant zum Buchheimer Kreuz! The food was excellent – ​​freshly prepared, tasty and lovingly prepared. The atmosphere was particularly nice: the service was incredibly courteous, friendly and warm - you immediately felt welcome. You are also in good hands here with children, the staff was very child-friendly and attentive. All in all a successful visit – we will definitely be back!

Thank you for your kindness, everything was very tasty and fresh.

Very tasty, we will come again. 😊

The food and salad were super fresh and really tasty. Keep it up, guys! We'd love to come.

Everything was great, we'll definitely be back!

Great evening at the bowling alley! The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable and would love to come back!

A fantastic experience! The food was not only incredibly delicious, but also beautifully presented. We'd especially like to highlight Rade's service – he was extremely friendly, attentive, and made the evening even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we felt completely at ease. We'll definitely be back!

We've known this restaurant for decades. First time with the new owner and...I'm disappointed. What's on the menu should also be on the plate. Minced meat with feta cheese! Unfortunately, the feta cheese turned out to be cow's milk cottage cheese. The minced meat wasn't cooked properly, but the cheese was a match, partly out. That's clear. Compared to feta cheese, it doesn't tolerate heat well. The rice was swimming in a runny paprika sauce. If you don't like dry rice, it's delicious. Service nice, friendly, fast, and attentive. Ambience - no major changes. A bit cleaner and brighter. The dark, old curtains are gone, freshly painted, fresh flowers. My almost 90-year-old grandfather was happy that it wasn't noisy. There's a small buffet with salad - that's also new. Prices and dishes (many schnitzel variations) are the same as at other Croatian restaurants. Menu in German (with errors), Croatian, Italian, and German. I don't understand the menu concept. My husband was happy with his grilled platter. Bottom line: because of the tranquility and proximity to Grandpa, we'll come back and try something different. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Delicious food and friendly staff 😃

From start to finish everything was excellent! The food was incredibly tasty and the quality really impressed me. The service was attentive, warm and very professional. Here you feel completely at home as a guest. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

A really nice restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food was excellent, everything fresh and tastefully prepared. I was particularly impressed by the friendly and attentive service - you immediately feel welcome. I'd love to come here again!

I had a steak here for dinner and it was one of the best I've tried in Cologne so far. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavor. The side dishes were also fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

Everything was great, everything was delicious

Everything was delicious, and we received excellent service. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it and would gladly return!

The food is good, but nothing special. The salad is from a bag or can, nothing fresh. The staff is young and very nice. The price-performance ratio is okay.

Food for 5*... Ali 'gazda' Nidza... Ko visoko leti nisko pada.

The food was once again delicious and plentiful. The staff was friendly and accommodating...

We had a delicious meal here. When asked about the service, which was incredibly good and courteous, we asked in the kitchen, then offered some delicious, healthy dishes (not just fries) and asked about any wishes that could have been realized. All dishes were delicious and freshly prepared. The portions are generous > good value for money. There is a salad bar so you can put together your own side salads. The atmosphere is very cozy. The washrooms are in the basement, clean, renovated and welcoming. There is a large space for celebrations. A few days later I came to lunch. Everything was great here too! See you soon!

From food to service, everything was super good 👍 And also very fond of children 😊 That's how it has to be 1A+

Food and service at a high level, the waiter very pleasant, I will gladly come back again.

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be, everything from the deep fryer and fried for far too long. All ready-made products, nothing breaded myself. I had Wiener Schnitzel. I'm pretty disappointed, it wasn't worth the money. It would have tasted better at the snack bar around the corner. So I will no longer be a guest there and I absolutely cannot recommend it. It's a shame it used to be good...

Super friendly and fast service from the charming Leyla and the food was also great ✌️ We would love to come back 😊

First visit with the new tenant: very friendly, very tasty, we are completely satisfied 👍

Class ! Best food, always fresh!

I haven't eaten better in a long time, the service is fantastic. The atmosphere is at a high level. A big salute to the chef

Class in Croatian/Yugoslavian style for more than 30 years. Nice staff and delicious food. Been there again after 4 years and everything is still TOP!!! So, with the new operators it tastes very tasty and they are really nice.

We were there today, reserved the bowling alley, what can I say, staff food service everything a 10/10. we'd love to come back. Would recommend it to everyone.

Friendly staff and delicious food. I recommend.

The food was so salty that you couldn't eat it. Never again!

My girlfriend and I called and reserved a table for Boxing Day. When we got there we were told that there was only a three-course Christmas menu. We were really looking forward to Croatian food and then left disappointed. I think we should have been informed that there was only a menu that day. It's a shame and not very fair.

Food was great. 10 out of 10 points. Service super friendly. I really liked it 10 out of 10 👍👍👍

A great restaurant to spend a cozy evening. Really great and attentive service, the food was really good and you can tell that the chef knows his craft and enjoys it.

Hatten am 1 Weihnachtstag um 18:00 einen Tisch für 2 bestellt.Am Telefon sagte man uns das wir Glück gehabt hätten überhaupt noch einen Tisch zu bekommen.Letztendlich war das Restaurant höchstens zu 60-70 Prozent ausgelastet.Aber egal wir freuten uns auf kroatisches Essen.Pustekuchen!! - Es gab nur 4 Menues allesamt mit einer Rindfleischsuppe 1 Hauptgericht und 1 Nachspeise für 48 EUR.Wie gesagt nichts kroatisches in einem Balkan Restaurant.Ich hatte mich für Rumpsteak (mit Spiegelei?) entschieden.Kein Salat oder Gemüse als Beilage.Meine Frau bestellte Zanderfilet mit Reibekuchenkruste - na ja.Haben für das Geld schon deutlich besser gegessen!

We were very satisfied and definitely not the last time here.

We were there again after a year and have to say it was great! The food was very, very tasty, the service was classic and the staff was relaxed and nice! Our big dog was also treated nicely! Except for the furniture, which is a bit old, the rest is not bad! The food came very quickly and was good We'll be back soon :)

Attention: New owners have dusted everything off and made it more modern - the ambience and also the food

The food was delicious, in our case steak with onions.

Ordered: Jägerschnitzel, fried potatoes, salad, still water. Food and drink arrived in under 30 minutes! Is this a fast food restaurant, I was wondering? Schnitzel, sauce, fried potatoes: none of it fresh. Not refined either. Too bad! Salad was way too sour. I'm happy to wait a little longer if the quality and taste are right, like before (I haven't been there for a while).

Was there today with my girls. Everything very good. The food was top service too. Everything wonderful. Therefore 5 stars ❤️ Definitely coming back.

Food was super delicious, but we waited 40 minutes for our dessert and it was still frozen and you have to get up to pay otherwise you won't be noticed. Not once was anyone asked if you wanted to drink. You had to announce yourself and then you were forgotten.

Was here again today for the first time since the reopening (the previous customer was a customer for more than 40 years). It has been very well renovated and redesigned. The atmosphere is now even friendlier and, above all, brighter (for senior guests). The access to the bowling alley and the toilets also makes a very good impression. Food and drinks very good. It would be nice if a stronger beer like Pils or Budweiser was offered, it doesn't have to be on tap. Prices fair. Staff friendly, attentive and helpful. Also highly recommended for celebrations. Will come back regularly.

We eat everything homemade and very, very tasty. Meat juicy and tender. We have absolutely nothing to complain about. The boss serves himself and is very approachable and very friendly. I hope the word gets around that you can get really tasty food for your money here. Keep it up.

Super friendly after reopening, delicious food and solution-oriented.... Thank you! Best regards

From the starter to the dessert everything was excellent. We had the grill plate, pljeskavica, liver and a steak. Everything was fried to perfection! The owner Rade and the service team are very quick, courteous and extremely friendly. The ambience is modern and very cozy, so it invites you to linger for a longer period of time. I can recommend the restaurant without reservation and wish the new owners a good start!

The ambience is the same as before, not much has changed. Service very quick and polite. But the food is worse than the previous owner. Everything is just convenience. The salad is quite coarse, just straight from the bag, the salad dressing is also ready from the bottle. Schnitzel was ok, yes and fries you can't go wrong. Nothing garnished, it just lay carelessly on the plate. And people said they wanted to be better than their predecessor. Fine dining. Well, you have to change almost everything. I also get that at the chip shop on the corner. And I pay less.

We had dinner at Buchheimer Kreuz today for an unfortunately sad occasion. The food tasted very good and the service was also very good! We'll definitely be back!

Warm and pleasant atmosphere Friendly staff and fine food.

Great food and very friendly staff. Very nice atmosphere

We had a wonderful evening in this great restaurant! The food was simply delicious and exceeded our expectations. Everything was super clean, which gave us a good feeling. The staff was extremely polite and quick which made the service really pleasant. We would particularly like to emphasize the child-friendliness - our child was treated warmly and had a lot of fun! In addition, all of our wishes were fulfilled, which made the evening perfect. We'll definitely be back! 😊🍽️✨ Until the next Martin 🍸 Thank you for the great experience!

After the renovation, the restaurant looks great. New energy is felt. Food is 50% better. Portions are huge, Balkan. Friendly and dedicated staff. All praise for the kitchen, really without any complaints. According to some of the reviews here, a small amount of rice...well, large amounts of rice are eaten in Chinese restaurants. For us in the Balkans, meat and beer are important, and there is more than enough of that here. Brandy is the bomb!!! Just keep it up. I have reserved a place for my family and me for Friday, and Asian food works for people with special needs to eat large amounts of rice. Sports greeting.

Great place, tasty food, good service

The hosts are friendly, the food is delicious, the portions are large...we recommend! We'll be back...

Unfortunately the food was no longer comparable to the previous owner. Smaller portions of overcooked rice, breaded schnitzel on a grill plate, the meat from the skewer was dry. The salad doesn't work at all, it wasn't even washed properly, it had a side dish with feet, as a response to a complaint, that can happen sometimes. We won't eat there again.

The tomato soup was very tasty, the rump steak was excellently grilled and for dessert a chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream and forest berries rounded off the whole evening, I'll definitely be back! We enjoyed the evening in a beautiful setting with the sounds of Croatian music

Endlich kann man hier wieder sehr gut essen. Es gibt einen neuen Pächter, der das Lokal schön aufgehübscht hat. Entsprechend gibt es auch eine neue Speisekarte, die schön aufgemacht ist und vielversprechende Gerichte hat. Da vor 2 Tagen erst die Wiedereröffnung war haben wir erst einmal dort gegessen, aber das war schon sehr gut. Somit kann es durchaus sein das dieses Restaurant, wie früher schon mal, wieder unser Stammlokal werden wird.

Very nice service and good food

Today we were the first guests at the reopening. In the renovated guest room we were served very friendly and well by one of the new owners. I ate a grill plate with my wife, which was not only huge, but also tasted really good! A table has already been booked for our next visit and if the quality of the food is maintained, then the restaurant will become a real magnet for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine.

Pleasant, tasty and very nice service.

We had ordered grilled plates, there was neither a skewer nor a piece of liver on the plate. The salad consisted of lettuce leaves without any vinegar, oil, or added dressing. I recommend everyone to avoid this restaurant and eat somewhere else.

Even though Google said it was supposed to be open, the store was closed. Things like that are bad.

Unfortunately the food was very simple. Unfortunately, price/performance is not right. The tomato soup tasted like cream sauce. The turkey steaks were dry and gristly. It tasted like cafeteria food. Unfortunately the wine wasn't good either. As nice as the ambience is, you can certainly eat better somewhere else for the money.

Our family has been eating here for generations and I hope that this restaurant will stay with us for a long time so that my children can continue to run it.

I've been there before, good food, very nice service. Good Balkan cuisine. Recommended!!

The food was very good, the service was very attentive at the beginning, unfortunately the waitress suddenly disappeared and we were left stranded afterwards, other guests had the same fate.

Very inconspicuous from the outside, but with a nice atmosphere inside. Highly recommended the food and the waiter was very accommodating. However, one star less in terms of service because the bill was incorrect. More food was bonked than was distorted. Nevertheless, a nice successful evening.

We enjoy eating out as a family and have been regular guests for years. Unfortunately the restaurant is closing next year. Very big regret

Kind. Enjoy your meal. Inexpensive

Super tasty as always, highly recommended.👍😊😋😋😋

Always very tasty! The atmosphere is just like it used to be, but fancy micki wouldn't fit at all! We'd love to come back.

great restaurant - always happy.

Great food Very nice friendly staff

Great food, friendly service, very family friendly

Seit ich klein bin kommen wir schon hier her. Also 35 Jahre. Sehr gemütlich, leckeres Essen und freundlicher Service. Wir kommen immer wieder.

Super Küche, freundlicher Service echt schade das wir aus Bayern kommen sonst würden wir immer hier her kommen! 😊

Die Qualität von Fleisch und Beilagen war super. Leider sind die Gerichte doch sehr eingedeutscht. Dieser typische kroatische Geschmack fehlt leider. Im Prinzip hatte ich eine gute Frikadelle. Ambiente ist etwas altbacken und in die Jahre gekommen. Richtung Toilette könnte auch mal ordentlich geputzt werden. Alles in allem war es ok, mehr aber leider nicht.

Der Geschmack des Essens war zwar sehr gut, ABER wie haben über knapp zwei Std auf unser Essen warten müssen. Auf Nachfrage war der Kellner sehr sehr unfreundlich und sagte nur u.a. „Sie können ja woanders essen gehen“. Und das gleiche ist letztes Jahr meiner Schwester auch passiert sie soll doch nach nach ihren Essen googeln. Sowas unfreundliches und freches habe ich noch nie erlebt. Und an diesem Tag Rag ging es nicht nur uns so, auch andere Gäste, welche sich beschwert haben, wurden so angemotzt und sehr sehr unfreundlich behandelt auf jeden Fall hat uns das Restaurant ein letztes Mal gesehen. Und 10 stammkunden verloren.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, ausgezeichnetes kroatisches Essen, sättigende Portionen und das zu fairen Preisen. Ein echter Geheimtipp!
