Schavu in Köln

After renovation and reopening, this was the second time I've eaten there. Not disappointed this time either. Simply delicious. Keep it up.

New Year's Eve was great again. Great buffet that leaves nothing to be desired, great music and very friendly service. We always feel comfortable in the bistrorante

New Year's Eve 2024/2025 We were at the Bistrorant with a group of 10 people for the New Year's Eve celebration and had an all-round successful evening. The restaurant was lovingly decorated and the tables were beautifully set. We were greeted friendly. Dear Angelika immediately took care of our drinks and so we could start a lovely evening. We all really enjoyed the buffet and left nothing to be desired. Everything was very tastefully prepared and super tasty. We tried a lot of things, but unfortunately we couldn't do everything. The highlight was the fresh waffles with hot cakes and cream for dessert. Dear Jörg - We thank you and your team for this lovely evening. There's no better way to start the new year.

Great restaurant...we didn't know the Tester Raue restaurant was here and only found out about it from the host himself after the meal...we had a good meal, very tasty food, nice boss and great restaurant...keep it up again from them East Frisians 😊

Good food, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Thank you!

We had booked reservations for a Christmas dinner. Everything went smoothly and the staff was friendly and helpful. The food for all the karts was served so that we could all eat together. I would happily recommend this restaurant for you alone or in a group

Delicious potato pancake buffet at a reasonable price… very attentive service. An all-round successful evening. The schnitzel offered as an “alternative” was also very well received.

Very good food Monday schnitzel day Otherwise, potato pancakes in different variations.

There were 10 of us at the Holwigger Bistrorante on November 18th, 2024. Table reservation worked without any problems. The new seating was immediately noticeable. Very comfortable and visually very appealing. Very friendly reception. The first drinks chosen were served quickly. The selected dishes were served to all 10 people at the same time. The steaks chosen were 1a and medium to perfection. Schnitzel is also great. Fresh salads with a delicious dressing. The Holwigger Brocken is juicy and well fried. .........better than the Lommi! All in all, a perfect meal in a very nice atmosphere. We would love to come back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Nice restaurant, very nice host, food is great, Gaffel Kölsch is served, price/performance is really good!

It was a very nice evening Service very good, host too. I would like to come back. Dieter was there again. Everything is very...good...Dieter

Went to the Hollwigger Bistrorant for the first time today and we'll definitely be back. The food was simply delicious (cutlet, meatballs, schnitzel) and the service was super friendly and super fast. We are also looking forward to summer as we have already set our sights on the outdoor area.

I was recommended this restaurant by the Hotel Lorien that I was staying in for 2 nights before retuning to the UK. The starter a paprika soup with bread crumb coated mushroom was a delight. The salad was well balanced and just the right amount of dressing to refresh the palate. The main course, I chose was the 0.25 kg rump steak with pepper sauce and french fries. It was an absolute delight and the best steak I have had in years.

Very nice bistro with fair prices and delicious food.

Very cozy there, definitely invites you to linger, the food was also delicious and I was completely full, and it was also ok in terms of price 😊

Very tasty food, large portions, nice, unobtrusive service, cozy atmosphere, what more could you want... would love to come back!

We were at Hollwiger Essen on Friday October 4th. It was excellent, great service, very friendly. The food was perfect, very nicely prepared and tasted great. We can only recommend eating here.

Very tasty food, absolutely great value for money

Something between a pub and a restaurant, the name says it all. Not only is the menu generous, but also the portions. Used schnitzel Monday, was very tasty, we would love to come back. PS for the TV viewers... The meatball was really sensational😀

Visiting from Canada.. was recommended...What an amazing experience!! The food was SO good... the service was excellent!! our first schnitzel!! Bravo! Highly recommend!!! 👍👍❤️❤️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦🇨🇦

Yes, absolutely, very tasty and very friendly staff.

We really liked it, the food was delicious and the portions were very large. The service was very courteous and friendly. Simply top price for what was on the plate. We'll be back, there are a few more dishes we'd like to try.

We were there for the first time and definitely not the last time. Food was very tasty and so was the service Very friendly..!!

Thank you for the friendly hospitality. The bistro restaurant is highly recommended. Food and service perfect. Big portions for little money. You really have to take a look. LG from Alzey

Was there for a meeting. Everything, very well received, keep it up Dieter.Staff attentive9

Excellent meal, with a legendary waiter, who brightened our evening.

Simply very good, and cozy a must👍😋

Very nice staff and the food was very good 👍

There were two of us in the beer garden, which was well attended. We ordered Fuhrmann Pfanne and Himmel&Äd and they were both really delicious, well seasoned and very tasty. Angelika, who has been providing service for many years, is very friendly, quick and passionate about it. We can highly recommend this Bistrorante

At the end of May I celebrated my birthday in the beer garden with around 26 guests. In advance there was a creative offer for the cold and warm finger food buffet, which could even be served in “stages” if desired. It was delicious and beautifully presented! In addition, a wonderful, friendly and courteous service at all times...my guests and I were thrilled. Thank you very much for a great evening! We always enjoyed eating with you before/after and will be happy to come back in the future ☺️ Greetings, Dagmar

Tim Rauhe on the outside, unfortunately a catastrophe on the inside... I cannot rate my stay here yesterday, Wednesday, August 7th, 2024, any other way. The otherwise mostly “positive” reviews here also make me more than questionable. Wondering where they really come from...?! But back to the beginning... Yesterday, Wednesday, my friend just wanted to try Bistrorant because of the positive reporting on RTL. No sooner said than done, we reserved online for the evening at 7 p.m. When we arrived, there was a sign on the front door indicating that the entrance was via the beer garden. In the beer garden we met Jörg, the owner, straight away: “Table for two?” We said: “We have reserved”, then picked a table here or there. Already then I noticed his harsh manner. Ordered two Kölsch, which came quite quickly. When I was “transporting” it from the tray to the table, I almost had Jörg’s elbow in my face. Food was then eaten quickly. Based on the report, I ordered 2 meatballs and fries for myself. My friend had a schnitzel with paprika sauce and fries. Both dishes came very quickly. At first glance I saw that my meatballs were not what they had advertised. On the contrary. As you can clearly see in the pictures, they were meatballs that you can buy ready-made in any discount store. They were also served with sweet mustard. “My friend’s” schnitzels also looked like industrial meat that had been briefly put through the deep fryer. No roasted aromas, just warmed up. The fries “so la la”: without the praised bacon salt. When Jörg asked whether we enjoyed it, I answered honestly that the food didn't really appeal to me. I got the stupid answer that the others would always like it. As the process continued, we were ignored for further Kölsch orders. We only got something when we asked. When I went to the toilet I was able to take a look into the kitchen and realized that there was only a “one man show” here. Bartender, cook and waitress in one person. There was also a lot of rubbish all around. A shopping cart with cardboard, dirty floors, tables that were carelessly wiped down but not re-prepared. Outdated events on the posters. Paid and left quickly. Unfortunately no reason to come here again.

Friendly atmosphere, pleasant service, good quality food. Parking in the (busy) neighborhood.

My friend and I have eaten there several times, both before the "Raue visit" and after. The service is always friendly and attentive, and we have never had to wait long for our orders. We were almost always satisfied with the dishes, but the soups deserve special praise. The design of the restaurant is a matter of taste, for me personally it is a little too colorful and busy. The outdoor area could be more inviting and comfortable, but that's just a minor criticism.

Great bistro, price quality was great, as was the service. Always my pleasure!

Very tasty food, nice service and owner. We'd love to come back.

Highly recommended, nice and friendly service, delicious food, would love to come back.

Went to Cologne for one night (Peter Maffay concert) and wanted to drink a Kölsch shortly before midnight. We discovered the corner restaurant by chance and were warmly welcomed by the landlady and the guests present. Thank you and best regards

Admittedly, without the report on TV we would have continued driving past, but luckily we were curious! The service was very good and the boss also took great care of his guests. Asked several times if everything was OK. Yes, and that was it! The food was really very good, absolutely recommended! We will go there more often in the future!

Very beautiful and super delicious Everything fitted Good food selection You can feel freshness It's all ok

The location is ok. The food was great, the sauce tasted like it was made from the gravy - delicious! Fries good, chicken breast on point, a few herbs on it, the eye is there too. It takes a while, but it's worth it! There was also a little surprise. Prices are great! Clear recommendation

My son was visiting me in Holweide and we visited the “beer garden” and ate here. After the TV report, I really wanted to try the "Ade-style meatballs": the taste was delicious, interesting - I would order them again! We had a VERY nice evening here in the beer garden with delicious food, in such a lovely, relaxed *atmosphere*! And THANK YOU for it.

After the show aired, we were excited to see what awaited us and were pleasantly surprised. Jörg is truly incredible! Many thanks also to the kitchen. Gladly again when we are in the area.

Thank you for the great evening with you, great 👏👍💪🏻🤗 LG Sandra and René🍻

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed. The Kölsch wasn't really cold and tasted stale! The fries were soft, the fried potatoes weren't fried enough. The children's schnitzel was good, heaven and earth snacks were nicely prepared and tasted good, but unfortunately they were cold. The service was quite good. We sat outside and the smell of the garbage cans reached the table. All in all, we wouldn't come back.

We were here for the first time today - but definitely not the last time: cozy atmosphere, very nice service and extremely delicious food! The TV show with Raue inspired us to do this - and it was a great tip 🥰

Great food, nice atmosphere, would love to come again! We felt very comfortable!

It was delicious and the host and staff are very attentive and friendly!

Very nice restaurant with a normal audience. Prices are reasonable, the food is plentiful and really good. Large menu leaves little to be desired. Extremely nice service and junior manager.

Garden chairs and red faux leather chairs invite you to linger in the outdoor area. The savoy cabbage vegetables we ate were delicious and the fried potatoes weren't swimming in oil but were deliciously crispy and fried.

We ate here for the first time today. Tim Raue, the restaurant rescuer, made us curious. It was a nice dinner. Very well thought out menu. On Tuesdays we had the grilled knuckle with perfect golden brown fried potatoes and sauerkraut, as well as the Himmel & äd, Which was really nicely prepared and very tasty. First of all, a few prawns 🍤, also delicious, perfectly fried and seasoned. We're really looking forward to our next visit 🤭😋 then we'll try the meatballs too. Service was also top notch, competent and quick. Definitely wish the hollwigger bistrorat much success 🍀👍 and see you soon! Regina & Uwe from Ensen Westhoven

Everything great ! Only recommended :)

I only drank beer that was crisp and fresh. Condition was very nice. Unfortunately, the ambience is not the same. It's not a beer garden but a beer tent garden

It is a restaurant with a bistro. We actually wanted to eat a sauerbraten because the reviews were very positive, but unfortunately this dish wasn't available at the start of the European Championships and the alternative dishes tasted like ready-made products.

The food is always good and the price-performance ratio is right. There are small changes to the map. Jörg is always very nice and welcomes his guests.

Yes, the chops are great. Pleasant atmosphere. Local has a beer garden.

Good food and nice attentive service. Everything to our satisfaction.

We were able to enjoy really delicious food here. That was first class. The landlord and the waitress were very nice and absolutely attentive. Completed with a very cozy atmosphere, we felt really comfortable.

Very friendly staff in a nice restaurant, we liked the food delicious and freshly prepared.

We came here for a quiet birthday meal. Everything was perfect, except for the difficulty with parking. Quick, friendly service, well-kept beer, and delicious food at an inexpensive price.

I can recommend this to you, I won't regret it

Small menu with very tasty dishes and daily changing specials. There were four of us and everyone was very satisfied. There was also a delicious gaff. The service was great and the prices were absolutely right. We would love to come back 👍🏻

Every now and then you discover a feel-good place like this 😊 Kitchen and service top, price-performance MEGA! And rolled home as a ball 🤭

The food was very tasty. There were eight of us there, everyone got their food at the same time. And we had a very nice, attentive waiter (a young man with dark hair). He always made sure there were enough drinks and always asked if anything was missing. We had a man with walking difficulties with us and he even helped him get into the taxi afterwards. Really great. We will be back definitely.

Our guests stayed in a hotel there and we were looking for a place to have a meal together. Here we could put two tables together and immediately feel comfortable with a Kölsch. Great Cologne corner pub with real flair! Wouldn't have expected it in this area 😜 I can recommend it! Food top!

Top service, nice staff and very good home-style food. Absolute recommendation from me.

We had a big celebration in the Bistrorant Hollwigger and were completely satisfied! The staff is very friendly and competent, the food was extremely delicious and varied, the location is cozy and has lots of loving details and much more. Here the customer is still king, thank you very much!

Nice restaurant good service. Very friendly service.

Dec. 2023 we were there for Christmas on December 25th, 2023 with a menu and then a few more times and the food was very good, no comparison to my previous review. We have become regular customers! We are already looking forward to the next time for the knuckle dinner.

I've been eating there for years and always face the same problem. What should I eat? Everything just tastes really good 👍 But whether I'm eating or just having a beer, I always feel good. The beer garden invites you to end the day in a cozy atmosphere in summer and it is very cozy inside in winter. Jörg and his staff are super friendly, very approachable, always in a good mood and no wish remains unfulfilled. Simply great and a 100 percent recommendation 👍

We spontaneously stopped by with work colleagues for the Monday Schnitzel campaign day. A really cozy shop with very attentive service and the food is highly recommended 👍🏼 You definitely have new regulars, keep it up

FC pub with a feel-good character. Class will be delicious Gaffel great kitchen great chef!

Small but nice menu. Everything was very tasty and friendly service.

Excellent welcome. We are French and they did everything to make us feel comfortable. The meal was very good. I recommend.

Great development that the restaurant has taken. Keep it up! 👏👏👏

Took a very long time and it was quite expensive

Kann ich mit ruhigen Gewissen empfehlen. Passt

Top Essen - Schnitzel frisch geklopft und gebraten - ein Träumchen! Immer und sehr gerne wieder - vielen Dank! 🤩

Schöner Reit Stall im guten Zustand und netter Atmosphäre

Schönes Ambiente, freundlicher Service, sehr leckeres Essen.

Sehr gemütlich Kinderfreundlich Sehr leckeres Essen Preis Leistung vollkommen in Ordnung

Wunderschöne Restaurant. Ich habe schon ein Abendessen gehabt und es war wirklich lecker. Das Essen ist fantastisch und die Preise sind sehr erschwinglich. Das Personal ist freundlich. So, ich gerne diese Platz Empfehle.

Wir waren das erste mal dort und werde noch oft wiederkehren . Sehr netter Service , das Essen mundet , ist mit Liebe zum Detail zubereitet und sehr kinderfreundlich 👍🏼 wärmste Empfehlung .

Goede service, gemoedelijke sfeer. Eten is rijkelijk en goed. Hebben schweinebraten met uiensausje, lekkere witkoolsalade en gebakken aardappelen gegeten. De moeite waard. Niet vet van de A3

Die Parksituation ist Ortsgegeben sehr speziell. Deshalb wäre es schön für das Fahrrad eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen.

Super leckeres Essen, sehr gemütlich wie drinnen und draußen. Am Wochenende sogar Fußball live gucken. Besser geht's nicht.

Sehr schöner laden. Super Ambiente und tolles Essen

Solide, lecker, Ambiente innen schön, aussen mit Luft nach oben. Keine Kartenzahlung (heutzutage m. E. nach ein no -go) super freundlich.

Ich esse zwar immer das gleiche, "Schnitzel- Wiener Art" aber bin mega begeistert das nie auch nur 1g fett am fleisch ist.💞echt mega lecker und ich kann einen Besuch jedem empfehlen der es so mager wie ich liebt 🌺

Hatte ein kleines Klassentreffen dort. Im Biergarten, gemütlich, gute Stühle. Sehr nette Bedienung, super Service und das Essen war ausgesprochen gut. Ich kenne dieses Haus noch als schavu. Hab für nächste Woche wieder einen Tisch bestellt. 😉 Leute hab leider vergessen die Sternchen zu vergeben. Natürlich volle Sternchen 😂😂

Nicht nur ausgezeichnete Hausmannskost, aber auch manche Gerichte aus Sterneküche!! unbedingt ausprobieren

Ich kann die guten Rezensionen leider absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Wir waren als geschlossene Gesellschaft dort, und es war im Verhältnis unverschämt teuer, das Essen leider sehr schlecht, das Geschirr dreckig und der Service mehr schlecht als recht. Einen Latte Macchiato zu machen hielt der Wirt bzw. Inhaber für zuviel Aufwand. Nie wieder. Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Antwort. Natürlich gab es ungeplant mehr Gäste. Jedoch bedeutet dies meines Erachtens nicht, dass man unfreundlich werden muss. Vor allem nicht bei einem solchen Anlass. Ich hatte den Latte Macchiato übrigens gar nicht bestellt. Aber die Begründung, dass es nicht im Preis inbegriffen war, wäre doch absolut in Ordnung gewesen. Wenn man das auch so sagen würde und nicht: "ne, dann wollen ja alle anderen auch einen haben.". Und das Geschirr sollten Sie bei Gelegenheit auch Mal überprüfen. Es war keinesfalls in einem Zustand, in dem man es Gästen anbieten sollte. Der hohe Preis ist schon nachvollziehbar, da der Unterhalt hier Ingesamt viel kostet. Aber Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit sollten in einem Lokal gerade dann Priorität haben.

Sehr freundliches Personal, Roller Chef ! Top Küche sehr lecker tolles Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen. Komme gerne wieder !

Leckeres Essen, netter Wirt und die Bedienung sehr freundlich (ein junger Mann ,wohl der Sohn vom Koch) Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen auch gerne wieder.

Gutes Essen, Preis/ Leistung passt, sehr freundliches Personal

Gemütliche Veedels Kneipe ;o) ...mit wechselnden Veranstaltungen.

Schon bei der ansage verpflichtet zum Essen würde ich dort keinen Fuß reinsetzen.Ein nicht zukommender Gastronome.

Top Lokalität, sehr nettes Personal... Komme wieder!Danke....LG Rainer

Wir waren das erste Mal in diesem Lokal und wurden äußerst positiv überrascht. Die Reservierung und auch die Änderungen waren problemlos und schnell erledigt. Die Speisekarte ist gutbürgerlich und nicht übermäßig umfangreich. Aber das was draufsteht wird von der Küche sehr schmackhaft und frisch zubereitet. Suppen, Salate, Hauptspeisen und Dessert - Alles zu empfehlen. Und der Auftritt einer Rock'n'Roll Band aus Köln rundete den Abend perfekt ab. Ich hoffe, hier mehr solcher kulinarsich wie auch musikalisch interessanten Abende erleben zu können.

Essen immer top. Brunch top und Frühstück auch toll

Freundlicher VorOrtStandard! Gerne wieder!
