Slavia in Köln

And it tasted awful. We also suffered from severe stomach pains and nausea. Furthermore, the wait was extremely long. The waiter was very friendly!

We spent two days in this apartment, which is part of the same restaurant in Cologne. The rooms are acceptable, clean, and have everything you need. The restaurant food is very good, and the breakfast is too (not included). What I liked most was its central location, very close to the cathedral! The only downside I'd say is that there's a slight smell of food in the hallways and the room...

Great place to eat. Great service 👏 friendly staff

The atmosphere was very nice. One of the meals was very good too — the mixed grill and the schnitzel meat were both tasty. The service was also very nice. Unfortunately, the vegetables we got were really bad — they tasted expired and were almost inedible. They seemed like frozen vegetables that had gone off.

Not recommended because the food didn't taste good.

Nice restaurant on the Rhine promenade with a beer garden and a view of the Rhine. The food was good and the service was friendly.

Delicious Croatian restaurant. The portion sizes were decent. They even gave us a little something on the house. Very commendable. The currywurst is a minor complaint. If it's always like this, they should take it off the menu. It could definitely be improved. Otherwise, a very good place.

We love this restaurant!!! We celebrated our wedding there almost 2 years ago on December 1st, 2023 and also spent our wedding anniversary there last year! We are going there for another celebration now and want to book! I'm attaching pictures of our wedding and wedding anniversary! The service was fantastic, everyone was super friendly, our guests were wonderfully looked after, when we went to have our photos taken the food was very lavish (3 courses!) and very delicious, the decorations were as agreed, we had a fantastic celebration at the wedding as well as on our wedding anniversary!!! The price for everything including sparkling wine reception, 3-course menu, etc. was unbeatable, I can only recommend it to everyone!!! Thank you again today and we'll see you again soon 🥰✨

We stayed in Cologne for two nights and ate here both evenings. The food was delicious, and the menu offered something for every taste. The value for money was excellent, the staff was super friendly, and we felt very comfortable there, so we didn't look for another restaurant for our second evening. We'll definitely be back!

Everyone is complaining about the "high" prices in restaurants. About the "price explosion" due to VAT. Hmm... We had lunch at Slavia on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne. The food tasted good – and was enough to satisfy our hunger. And the prices there... We have no reason to complain about it. When we're back in Cologne – we have a place to go. ----- October 15, 2025 We came here again. Nothing has changed. The staff are always friendly and on the ball. The prices – for what's served – are perfectly reasonable. We will come back when we're back in Cologne.

I have a question: What kind of job does the chef have? The price was top-notch, but the preparation, taste, and execution were absolute rubbish. Inedible.

Great place for me, Great atmosphere and surroundings

We ate there today. My girlfriend had cevapcici and I had a "lumberjack steak." The cevapcici were reasonably good, but the so-called lumberjack steak unfortunately turned out to be a flop. In my opinion, they were two small, minute steaks with a very fatty crust. Not to mention the quality of the meat, it wasn't cooked very well either. Unfortunately, we probably won't be eating there again.

Highly recommended! Very friendly staff, fast and good service. A beautiful location on the Rhine and great food!😊

We'd previously been next door where we weren't served at all... and a table was forced on us... But here everything was perfect. Friendly service, delicious food, and good value for money. Highly recommended..👍

Restaurant beside Rhein river. Beautiful view.

The food was truly excellent. We would come back anytime. The portions were also generous. The price-performance ratio was perfectly fine. We were also served quickly and efficiently. The only thing I didn't like was that the waiter asked for a tip. This should have come from the customer, not the waiter—but never mind.

Men's shop, bad coffee and tea from Lidl. It's best to avoid this place.

Poor service and raw meat. One dish was brought out after the rest of the table had finished eating.

Very good view, but mediocre service and mediocre food.

I recommend it! The portions are very large! The menu is in all languages😊 very pleasant service!

The food was average: spaghetti with bolognese had too little meat and sauce was too bland. Crepe was too small as well. And it took terribly long for waiter to bring the bill.

Good food. A few bees while we ate. Be careful what you drink... 8.50 for a water and without warning, a robbery!!! Quick service and they demand a tip after the water was stolen...

Waited more than 30 minutes for my order, received no apology.

What a mistake!!!!! Never again. A worthless place. Even the fries weren't cooked. So hard, they brought me what they called a hamburger. It was a disgrace. I will never forget this awful place.

The food is okay, but don't expect gourmet fare...a lot. The staff sometimes seem to lose track of things. You'd expect something different from the menu, as described...pasta dishes in a greasy cream sauce...

I've been here several times now, highly recommended. Service is impeccable, everyone is friendly and very accommodating. The food was also excellent. I've had various dishes (currywurst, schnitzel, or pizza), and each time it's been delicious. Great prices too. Highly recommended.

Horrible service. Decent food. Asked for our bill three times.

A cozy restaurant on the Rhine, with a great atmosphere and extremely friendly service! We'll be back 😊

Very friendly and very good food

*Cozy Breakfast on the Rhine* The Slavia Restaurant offers a truly lovely breakfast experience right on the banks of the Rhine. The food was fresh and delicious – just the right way to start the day in a relaxed manner. The location is particularly pleasant. The outdoor seating is very comfortable, overlooking the Rhine, which adds to the special atmosphere. The breakfast is reasonably priced – not a bargain, but perfectly fine for the location and the service. The service was very friendly and attentive, which made the visit a pleasant experience overall. In conclusion: It's definitely worth a visit, especially if you value beautiful surroundings and friendly service.

Everything perfect, I can only recommend it

Great service, prices are typically high for the Rhine riverside, but lower than some of the restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Clean, delicious, excellent! Highly recommended!

The portion comes with one pancake that is old and dry, and the ice cream with it is bearable. The place is average, the service is good, but the food is terrible. I do not recommend it to anyone!

We originally had 17.6 euros for the meal, but the waiter brought the POS machine and entered 20 directly. When I pointed out that the price should be 17.6 euros, he told me that the rest was the service charge. He didn't ask if I wanted to tip, but took my tip directly.

The Slavia impresses with its beautiful location directly on the Rhine and attentive, friendly service that remained pleasantly unobtrusive. The wine was drinkable, even if it was on the high side. The Mediterranean appetizer with chili cheese was attractively presented with fresh salad, egg, and eggplant; the accompanying bread could have used a bit more flavor. The main course – chicken with mushrooms – was unfortunately not convincing: The meat was tough, the sauce had a somewhat unpleasant aftertaste, and there were only two or three mushrooms in it – more symbolic than anything else. The terrace on the Rhine is a definite plus, but the seating is quite narrow, making the atmosphere feel a bit cramped.

The food is delicious and the service is great!!

Great beer and food :) Must try Hahnchen !! So yummy!

It's not salty and it's delicious^^ It's really a lot for me

Breakfast is unloving and of low quality. Service is very slow. The restaurant is beautifully located.

A very nice place on the banks of the Rhine River, helpful and friendly staff in every respect. The food and drinks are delicious, we had an even better time with the attention of Gizem Hanım.

The waiters outside begged us to eat here, we were hungry so we gave it a shot. Once we were seated it’s like they forgot about us. Took forever to get our order taken and the food was low quality slop. Stay away.

The English breakfast was not great. The sausage had some weird sourness in it. Coffee wasn’t included so I ordered it. The cappuccino I got was an instant coffee and an instant creamer. Hideous to have it in a restaurant like that area.

Waited 15 minutes and left again, bad service

Sat and had dinner and drinks in the evening. Food was excellent and really reasonably priced compared to other resturants near by. Will be coming back!

I'm from Ukraine, everything was great, food, service, and prices

Our two cocktails were brought to the next table, even though there were only four tables (outside) occupied. The table setting was careless: a pitcher with cutlery and napkins in it, and two battered menus. They desperately need to improve their friendliness and concern for their guests. We don't need to experience that again. We went somewhere else for dinner, where we felt comfortable and welcome.

they are scammers! charged 10€ for a bottle of water. Pizza was an absolute nightmare as well. worst restaurant i visited in Cologne

A culinary highlight in Cologne! The Slavia restaurant completely impressed us! From the very first moment, we felt warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish – perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or a romantic dinner. The menu offers an excellent selection of traditional and modern Balkan dishes, lovingly prepared and perfectly flavored. I can especially recommend the [insert your favorite dish here, e.g., "Ćevapčići with ajvar and homemade fries"] – simply delicious! The vegetarian options are also creative and delicious. The service was first-class: attentive, friendly, and very professional. You can tell the passion they put into their work. The value for money is absolutely spot on – high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and fair prices. We will definitely be back and highly recommend the Slavia restaurant. A real insider tip in Cologne!

Top service and delicious food! The service at Slavia was exceptionally friendly and attentive – I've never felt so welcome! The food was also delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended!

We sat there for 10 minutes without being served. It wasn't busy, and we were noticed by several waiters, but ignored.

The food was delicious and the waiters were polite and attentive. The price/performance ratio was right, and the location on the Rhine was, of course, fantastic. What's really unacceptable, however, are the restrooms; they should be checked more often and perhaps cleaned!

Great servers, great pizza, good beer. It's fun here.

I can only rave about Slavia. My wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was simply excellent value for money! The meat was tender and delicious. The fries were fresh and crispy. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

In one word, super!!! The staff is excellent, I can single out the guy Matin made an evening for my children. The teenagers were happy!!!!

Nice terrace on the Rhine to enjoy your half liter, we ordered an anti pasta but that was not Italian, more Slavic with pickled vegetables, onion, jalapeño, olives, dried tomatoes in oil etc., no meat or the like, far below standard.

Despite previous reviews, the food was highly recommended, especially the cevapcici!

It's a great place. We have a Turkish friend named Hasan. He is a very helpful and wonderful person. He helped us a lot for everything. The atmosphere is great. You should definitely go. The food is delicious. I recommend you to try the Weiss beer instead of Kölsh.

You order a ‘black angus burger’ and get a regular cheap hamburger… also fries are dry.

I had tomato and pork knuckle soup with sauerkraut, all delicious in a quiet, well-served atmosphere. Includes a drink and coffee for ~€25/person. Recommended.

First of all: the location on the Rhine is, of course, great, and our servers were really nice. Our dog got water and our son something to draw. (Okay, we had to sharpen all the pencils ourselves, but it was still a nice gesture.) Unfortunately, I wasn't at all satisfied with the food. I had a pizza that I really didn't like. Because there was way too much cheese on it, it was really greasy. Some people like that. I don't. The base and, strangely enough, the crust were totally soft and simply tasteless. The base tasted almost like a wrap and felt like one, too. A chicken soup arrived in less than three minutes and wasn't homemade. It was the run-of-the-mill soup from the wholesaler that you're used to. I think it's a bit cheeky to pay €6.50 for that. My wife's chicken schnitzel was a deep-fried schnitzel. Yes, it's quite tasty if you make it yourself, but not for a lot of money in a restaurant. Despite the great location, I can't recommend the restaurant.

The mojito was a complete disappointment! The staff barely spoke German. There were no food recommendations; it felt like a tourist trap.

When my friends' food arrived, I realized the waiter had forgotten my order. But he was friendly afterward, and my food arrived quickly.

Very good food and delicious drinks! The restaurant next to it wasn't that nice, which is why we went to this place. Best decision!

Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem Espresso Martini - der war sehr lecker mit super Location. Auch Essen kann man gut wir kamen auf Grund der Gastfreundschaft am gleichen Tag sogar noch einmal am Mittag

Very good espresso martini, good service and food. Price performance for the location and location

I'm still sitting here writing the review while my plate is picked up and I'm asked if everything is okay. 😅 But apart from the fun fact, I was very satisfied with my food and would like to order something else. I can recommend 👍

The food was modest. The salad plate was unimaginative and way too expensive. The meat dish was loveless and the price-performance ratio wasn't right here either. Won't be coming here again.

Una cálida experiencia gastronómica amigable. Cenamos aquí dos veces mientras que en Colonia y tuvimos una gran experiencia en ambas ocasiones. Comida 1 Tenía las empanadas caseras rellenas de queso de cabra, arroz y Ajvar que era precioso. El Ajvar era increíble, tan sabroso. Mi esposa tenía una pizza que dijo que también era muy bueno. La segunda visita fue una ensalada César con pollo y estaba muy bueno. Pollo muy bien cocinado, aderezo casero y la porción era enorme. El personal es encantador, muy hablador y educado y todo el ambiente es reconfortante y cálido. Las porciones eran muy buenas y creo que el costo era razonable para la ubicación y la comida de buena calidad. En general disfrutamos lo suficiente para visitar de nuevo, si te gusta la comida estilo Croacia esto podría ser un ganador para usted.

No, unfortunately not recommended. The food doesn't taste good at all, and the portion is far too small. Staff very unfriendly after ordering food.

Shrimp starter was really good and the portion size was also fair

I ordered a prosciutto pizza and they brought me some pizza with ham, the burger was disgusting, I don't recommend it, the waiter was nice, nothing to complain about, but the food was terrible

Unfortunately, the service was quite unfriendly and disorganized; the quality of the food could have been better for the price.

The service was very good and super friendly. Despite there being a lot of guests, everything went very quickly. Unfortunately the quality of the food leaves something to be desired. There was a lot of (not so good) cheese on the Funghi pizza but mushrooms just walked past it. Unfortunately not recommended

Food really isn't anything special. We had an antipasti starter platter, a hamburger and a stuffed minced steak, the quality of the ingredients was rather poor, the preparation was ok. The restaurant is aimed at tourists who want something quick to eat, but the quality is not particularly good given the relatively low prices for the location.

Arrived around 19h40 order 2 entries -tomate mozzarella and fried shrimps,Tomate Mozza was fine nothing special but fine, Shrimps looked like they went directly to a frier and ZERO seasoning, Salad was served a side and it was the only tasting thing until the end of the meal. Yeah it gets worst, if we waited a bit for the entries we were served our food at around 21h20 so our 4years Baby waited 1h40 to eat his food has you can see the photos we waited all that to be served that thing they call food?? Imagine pay 70 Euros to eat a pizza that look like that, (Pizza Dough was really bad and the Cheese is really cheap quality, really far from a Mozzarella) and a sausage like that. IS EMBARRASSING WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN YOUR KITCHEN.

The food tasted like it had been stored and microwaved for three days, and the service was really unfriendly and made you wait over 20 minutes, even though the occupancy was very low. The waiter showed no interest in the customers and that should change. A star; I would like to give minus stars if that were possible. Apart from that there was a reasonably nice view of the Rhine; But given the outrageous prices, it wasn't worth getting a meal like that.

The restaurant thrives on its location and the friendly staff. Unfortunately, the fun stops when the food is served. Everything was swimming in oil and the meat had a lot of fat. At least the drinks were normal.

Too expensive for this food, not cooked properly, fried doesn't taste good, staff very rude. It's really bad, there are mice running around.

Ambiente encantador, café hermoso. Personal servicial. Limpio. Tenía que sentarse dentro, ya que no quería sentarse entre los fumadores

I had the grilled dish. The meat was drier than ever, the rice undercooked. Considering they beg you to eat here, it's a complete disappointment.

We ate there and it wasn't tasty at all so I definitely don't recommend it. The rice wasn't even cooked through and the meat was completely dry. I don't recommend it!!

Very good, reserved service, you don't feel pressured, very friendly, eat very well and the long waiting time tells me that it's a good meal

Bring time. After waiting for 20 minutes, we left the restaurant because we weren't served.

The food is recommended as are the cocktails. The staff is very friendly and a great location. The only negative thing is that the path (the stairs) to the toilet is very narrow… but the toilet was also very clean!

55 minutes waiting time for food, then the wrong order was brought to the table. The food didn't really taste good either. Asked for the bill, waited 18 minutes for the bill. The shop isn't full, on the contrary, we're sitting outside with 10 other guests! Not recommended!

Seats outside with a view of the Rhine, located in the pedestrian area of ​​the old town. Friendly service, extensive menu, food not more than ok.

Lack of communication between servers, too much waiting, the price of breakfast is expensive and without drinks included....long live French gastronomy...really a shame...

There is no coordination between teams. Long waiting times. Coffee with milk really doesn't taste good. Tip: You should learn a little from French restaurants.

We haven't eaten so badly in a long time. The food was not freshly prepared, rather prepared the day before and then just warmed up. Meat was ten and very dry. Devju rice tasted like nothing. When we got back to the hotel, we both had stomach aches and had to go to the toilet several times. Service is clever. They are already waiting outside and chatting to people and this is how you are lured into the restaurant.

Everything is very slow and the waiters forget the order

Stopped in for an English breakfast and a pastry, the staff were so lovely and helpful Talab was especially helpful, he gave us all sorts of advice of what to see and where to go. Definitely worth a visit. The breakfast was lovely and the coffee was beautiful! Lovely spot looking at the river and bridge! An absolute must

Aqui é um local onde fomos acolhidos com carinho, educação e compreensão. A comida do restaurante é excelente. E o apartamento é muito bem localizado, muito perto da Catedral. Precisamos ir ao hospital e eles nos ajudaram muito. Pessoas excelentes!

DO NOT EAT HERE! Portion you can eat in one bite. Pancake worth 0,5 euro to make. Don't waste your money.

Bad tourist food and water Aperol total disaster... best to pass by...

Oh well. Meat quality is not good. Pizza is lame. Children's menu Hamburger much too big for a child. The hack is toe and not homemade. 50€. Service is nice. Location is good. View is great. Just have a drink here!!

Everything was wonderful best food Best service. I wish you good business

...like many times before, it was a great evening... good food, delicious cocktails and very friendly staff... thank you very much 😀

Waiter very friendly Food good price performance ratio! Always my pleasure

Service was quite grumpy. The goulash soup is average and the prices are quite high. Plus point is the heated outdoor area.
