Slavia in Köln

Very friendly staff, great ambience and a good price-performance ratio, especially down on the Rhine

Very nice conditions and delicious food.

We just ate the Croatian platter for 2 people there. Super friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, everything was fresh. Top price-performance

My family and I were traveling in Cologne for the first time and decided to grab a bite to eat. This restaurant caught our eye because of its polite and unobtrusive staff and good selection of dishes. We weren't wrong. Great service, delicious food.

Nice food at a reasonable cost. Good selection on the menu. It's in a good location. Not far from the Cathedral. Good friendly and welcoming staffs. Food was Nice. Seating inside and outside.

Very nice service, Food, drinks all good.

Good evening, we spontaneously ate there once today and never again, the service was not friendly anymore, then the wrong drinks came, then the lamb chops smelled like an old goat, the lumberjack steak was the wrong meat, the shrimp pan only tasted of oil and was just together The starter was mushy, the gratinated goat cheese came with the main course and it wasn't gratinated but just tasted like old frying fat and for which I paid €84, not recommended and we ate all three even though we didn't even finish them, the plates were almost full I got a stomach ache and they didn't even ask if it was tasty or if something wasn't right. It's all about taking money out of people's pockets. We will definitely never eat there again!!!!! This has nothing to do with a Croatian restaurant!!!

we stayed one night in the hotel above the restaurant, we had evening meal and breakfast this morning, the staff were lovely we all enjoyed our food both meals only 2 criticisms , baked beans were stone cold at breakfast like someone had forgotten to heat them up!lol and im not sure if the restaurant owns the apartments above but we did check in inside the restaurant with a gentleman etc there is a lift to rooms and within 3 hours of us being there it stopped working! i have a dissability so 2 lots of steep steps is agony for me so wasnt impressed we told a staff member who was cutting through to restaurant at side of lift and he just shrugged his shoulders at us, the lift wasnt working this morning when cam down for breakfast eith so hubby had to carry cases down whilst i struggled down the stairs! apart from the the rooms were clean and tidy, we enjoyed our food and our waiter was lovely laughing and joking with us brits as our friends live in germany,so speak german but was obviously talking english then german, waiter thought was so funny!!

Wir wurden recht offensiv eingeladen, Platz zu nehmen. Der servierte frische Pfefferminztee wurde von meiner Frau zurückgegeben, da er mehr heißem Wasser glich. Die Rigatoni Bolognese meiner Tochter hatten mit dem gleichnamigen Gericht nichts gemeinsam und waren geschmacklich eine Vollkatastrophe, da sie scheinbar mit reichlich künstlicher Helferlein aromatisiert wurde. Mein (Singular) Spare Rib für immerhin 28,50€ war schon zu Tode vorgehabt und entsprechend trocken. Immerhin waren die Barbequesoße und die Pommes (Portion 5€) in Ordnung. Das Kinderschnitzel war ebenfalls ordentlich, der Beilagensalat lieblos und unterirdisch angemacht. Die Schinkenpizza meiner Gattin war leider nicht ausgebacken und daher im Kern verwässert. Alles in Allem eine herbe Enttäuschung, die ich ( zum allerersten Mal) auch nicht mit Trinkgelt honorierte.

Very friendly service staff, nice place, good for drinking and if you like overheated microwave food, you'll get your money's worth here. My dish… tagiatelle with shrimp - not edible.

Anyone who is in Cologne should definitely stay here and have a good time. The food is excellent and the service is excellent. Gladly again.

Unfortunately the food was mixed. Not a highlight.

My ice cream tastes like cheap ice cream and I can get it cheaper in Küppersteg and my order was forgotten and I got sprinkles, which I didn't want, and whipped cream, which I don't like

Scrambled eggs with bacon was great.

I have never seen such a rude waiter. When paying, the waiter is not very happy to receive cash. I do not recommend this restaurant

Very nice service, food was delicious and the price was completely right. Cocktails tasted good but not at all like alcohol, as if they had been very economical with the spirits in them. Toilets were pretty trashed, paper all over the floor, trash cans overflowing. Overall, a nice restaurant with small flaws.

Wir kommen seit 20 Jahren ins Slavia. Manchmal zu zweit, manchmal zu Zehnt, aus Frankfurt, mehrmals im Jahr Wir besuchen Köln ,den FC. Slavia hat uns bisher noch nicht enttäuscht. Von Fleisch bis Pizza, alle haben sich wohlwollend über das Essen in der Gruppe geäußert. Service ist auch sehr zuvorkommend. Manche machen andere Erfahrungen, ist halt so.

If you want to eat well in Cologne on one of the most beautiful and cozy terraces on the Rhine in that old city, you should go to Slavia. You won't regret it.

I ordered calamari fritti. Looked very good - but rarely had such bad food. My criticism was only laughed at smugly. Too bad. Seats on the edge of the Rhine are quite ok.

The service was super good. The food was ok

Very nice service, very happy with the food. I enjoyed Gypsy Schnitzel and liked it a lot. Goes well with Früh Kölsch beer 😉👍🏻

Nice restaurant right on the Rhine, price performance definitely justified. Would be happy to come back on your next visit and can only recommend it to everyone

Very nice to sit on the Rhine. We had burgers and schnitzel, well what can you say, it was ok but not really recommended. There is still room for improvement when it comes to eating

I confirm ´´the meat too small vegetables really not good ´´not like the photo on the menus ´the grilled fish on the other hand is good

Great staff and fantastic atmosphere

Malle ambience. The non-alcoholic wheat beer we ordered was not alcohol-free. The Angus burgers tasted like €5 burgers from the fast food joint next door, which you get after going out at 3am, apart from the overpowering aroma from the uncleaned grill. The fries were mostly soggy. All in all, unfortunately a tourist trap, too many different dishes on the menu.

Very good food and nice ambience right in the old town

While you enjoy a beautiful view of Köln, on the Rhine River Waterfront, you can take a break for lunch or dinner enjoying delights from the best of Croatian and International cuisine!!

Good food with friendly waiters sat in pleasant surroundings down by the Rhine.

Delicious food 2 evenings in a row, friendly staff (if it's good you'll come back), but they need to clean up the men who make music. Very irritating and they also ask for money when you are eating

Today, I had a wonderful experience at Slavia restaurant in Cologne, one of our favorite spots for dinner. After enjoying a lovely meal with a friend, I accidentally left my phone on the table and walked away. To my surprise, our receptionist noticed and went out of her way to return it to me, even following me for a few meters to make sure I got it back. I was truly touched by her thoughtfulness and excellent service. If you’re reading this, thank you so much for your kindness—you made my day! Slavia continues to be one of our top choices, and this experience just reinforced why.

Very nice atmosphere, beautiful on the Rhine, with a good view. Waiters are always friendly and everything is good. I've been eating at Slavia for 2-3 years now and often, but my last visit was the last straw for me. Food cold, noodles hard. Nothing special, I could do better at home, ordered 2 dishes and still didn't get full, the burger was still very good and tasty back then, unfortunately today you only get a frozen pattie that doesn't even taste like meat, mayo and bad vegetables on it, that's it Bread and it's good. And they charge €16-17 for that. I would love to get my money back because it was the worst meal I've had all year. I'm very disappointed with slavia, since I love the store I'll probably come by a few more times and try to order something different, but the people to my left and right were also disappointed with their food. Never order a burger there, grandma's doormat tastes better.

Food wasn't good, the Hanburger tasted like one from the snack bar around the corner. Beggars asking for money etc. during the meal are not recommended.

There were an incredible amount of onions in the Jägerschnitzel. The sauce was out of a package and the meat was of poor quality. The staff was quick and friendly.

The noodles were hardly seasoned! Little taste! And all of this for €17.90

You can sit comfortably here, the food is very tasty and the prices are great 👍 We would love to come back Philipp and Anna

Great service Delicious food Good location

I was there with my girlfriend and the food was very tasty. We had a pizza prosciutto and pasta with spinach and salmon. The food was very tasty but unfortunately you had to wait a long time… It takes 10 minutes until you order the food and at least another 20-30 minutes pass until the food arrives. Overall, however, it was satisfactory. We paid just under €40 for both dishes together with a cola and an Alster.

That doesn't even deserve a star. I could eat two plates and I was so hungry but I left half of it somewhere else. sorry but no one can eat that

If I could, I would only give half a star. I know a few Croatian restaurants, but this one has nothing in common with Croatia and Croatian cuisine. As I am Croatian myself, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We were very satisfied with everything and will go back on our next visit to Cologne

Literally the worst place I've ever eaten. The food was terrible and took 45 minutes to arrive. The server managed to interpret our asking where the food was as wanting to take it to go so we had to eat from a plastic container. Just don't go here.

We've now become regulars. Chilling on the Rhine, having delicious cocktails and eating snacks every now and then. I was very hungry yesterday. Ordered liver with rice and tarte flambée, shrimp and salmon. Top. Despite the crowded terrace. I love liver, but I'm demanding. But it was amazing. Buttery tender, could be crushed on the palate. Tarte flambée nice and thin, crispy and really great taste. Can't understand any criticism. Keep it up.

Where our visit started positive with a warm welcome from the employees, the rest turned out to be a wrong choice of restaurant. We orderd a snitzel and burger. The food was brought quite fast but didn't look special. After we finished I went inside to pay. After I got my receipt the waiter asked me to add a tip of 15%. For the food we got I didn't think it was worth it, so I said no thank you. I got a mad reaction from him and after a heavy sigh he turned around and didn't say anything. I would't recommend this place.

Great location, friendly, friendly service but unfortunately not good food. We had pizza, currywurst and salad - and all three dishes were below average. Curry sauce extended/watered down, salad with mustardy sauce, pizza worse than baked - at that moment you are annoyed that you didn't cook it yourself but paid 55 EUR.

Food wants to be the best. Arrogant waiters. Any other eatery will be better than this "restaurant".

The salad was a joke for the price

We sat outside, which is actually quite nice. However, we were seated by the waiter and then not served for what felt like an eternity (more than 15 minutes), even though there were enough service staff there. The drink advertised as Früh Kölsch didn't taste like the Früh company either (we had previously been to the Früh Brauhaus, so we had a direct comparison; it tasted significantly different here). Even when we wanted to pay we had to ask three times and it took more than 10 minutes for a waitress to put the bill on the table without comment.

Hidden costs, side dishes cost extra. So for a salmon and a baked potato you can quickly reach €30

Good location, pleasant ambience, relatively fast service. However, if you want Balkan kebabs, I do not recommend them at all, the worst I have ever eaten in my life... luckily I was starving.

Awful experience. After more than 1 hour and a half waiting, they came with a joke on a plate. Breakfast: 2 runny eggs, 1 spoon of baked beans, a tiny mini bacon, 3 small german sausages and bread.... not even toasted as supposed to be toast. For 13.5 euros. Wonder if I was a men I was treated the same??? Avoid the place.

Great weather, EM atmosphere in every street and a world-class spot on the promenade. Full hut and still super fast and friendly service. Plus a very tasty rump steak and a bifteki. Thumbs up, it wasn't the last time we were guests. Greetings, your DJ Tom 😎✌️

This is one of the restaurants on the banks of the Rhine overlooking the bridge. As a culture, beer in a glass is famous. We drank beer at night and watched the river and the bridge with keys. I am attaching the menu.

Was für eine Enttäuschung! Wir freuten uns auf leckere kroatische Küche, wurden aber enttäuscht und vor allem nicht satt. Wir hatten den Klassiker Grillteller bestellt. Ich habe schon bei vielen Kroaten gegessen aber so etwas unverschämtes habe ich noch nicht gesehen. Die Portion war winzig. Das man so kleine Hackröllchen überhaupt formen kann!!!! Alles war in Miniatur Ausgabe. Es gab noch nicht einmal Pommes dazu. Normalerweise ist eine Beilage selbstverständlich aber in dieser Touristenfalle muss man die extra zahlen. Hatte ich dann auch getan aber das wurde einem noch nicht einmal gesagt. So kamen die wenigen Fleischstücke ohne Beilage. Es war sowas von enttäuschend, dass ich nur jedem dringend empfehle hier nicht zu essen und diese Abzocke nicht mit zu machen!!!! Nie wieder!!

Cevapcici was very dry. Service was ok.

Great location, good food and delicious cocktails at fair prices! Service friendly and unobtrusive! Gladly again!

We felt comfortable from the first moment. Very attentive and friendly staff who fulfill every wish (even the unspoken ones). The menu offers a wide range where everyone can find something. The dishes are lovingly and attractively prepared, rich and very tasty. The price-performance ratio is right. We can only recommend Slavia and will definitely be happy to be a guest there again on our next visit to the city.

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

ATTENTION TRAP! SCAM! Only Kurds work in this “Croatian” shop. It wouldn't be objectionable, but we were promised a meal that would fill us up for an extra €45, but we got the normal portion. We were given a bill and when paying we were told the bill was wrong and we were charged an extra meter of beer.

Super bad service - food is ok. Took them 45 min to bring one pesto pasta.

The food was okay, we ordered a plate for 6 people but it was for a maximum of 4 people and at the end we were charged an extra meter of beer

I didn't find the food tasty at all and money was paid which shouldn't be 0 stars if it was possible Has nothing to do with a Croatian shop

Tourist stronghold, but very good food (grilled plates), friendly, humorous service and a nice ambience close to the Rhine. Recommended! 👍

While strolling around I felt like having a snack and a glass of wine, I stopped by and at first thought Slavia was a tourist shop with a tractor in front of the door. But then… table on the Rhine, delicious rosé, extremely friendly service. A lot of food for little money. Very positively surprised. Good home cooking.

Service is great, food was tasty

Good food, great location, amazing beer and fun times. Service was a bit all over the place but it makes sense considering how busy it was. Would definetely come back.

À fuir horrible nourriture surgelé et accueil très mauvais. Il a fallut attendre pour payer et réclamer à 3 reprises l’addition.

Today we went to Rhein Zeit Restaurant Essen with friends. The waiter came to us after 15 minutes without greeting us and simply asked what we would like to order. After we ordered cocktails and food, the drinks arrived incorrectly and the food arrived after more than half an hour. When we approached the waiter about it and asked if he could bring the correct cocktails, he said "ok, ok" and never came back. I'm writing this while still sitting in the restaurant and all I can say is: the service here is really bad.

A beautiful location with a view of the Rhine. Food was good, I'd love to come back

Sorry, but that was nothing. We happened to be there and were really hungry. You could have guessed it. Aggressive guest advertising like on Malle on the promenade. Extremely tight seating. Everything hop hop and fast fast. It takes a while until the order is placed. Then the starter comes together with the main course. When asked about this, the answer was: Yes, yes, thank you, no problem. Pizza not baked properly. Grill plate dry. Unfortunately just not good. The main thing is that the store is full and the occupancy of guests changes quickly. Issues raised are ignored with a smile, but then eyebrows are raised when there is no tip. Always happy to go to Cologne, but unfortunately not here anymore.

Not great, but okay. Already suitable for a snack on a pub crawl.

It wasn't tasty, the service brought the wrong things and you never have to wait a long time again in your life

Unfortunately not recommended. The burger was dry, the lamb chop only had a fatty edge, and you had to let the service know 3 times for something to be brought out. First and last time.

We were there on Lord's Day, which was probably not their best day. For 17.90 pleskavica is not a gift, what came was a pretty bland looking plate with a pleskavica that almost certainly came from the frozen department and 2 heaps of rice. The whole thing garnished with a hair in the Pleskavica. And it was so salty. Hallelujah.

We ordered a mixed salad, the meat was dried out, bad

Although the location is beautifully located on the Main with a large terrace, the seating is extremely tight in order to accommodate as many guests as possible, which means that you constantly have traffic behind you while you eat. The audience consists mainly of large groups of men who meet to party and drink, or alternatively large stag parties. A few moments after I received the menu, I was asked for my order. Because I didn't order immediately, I had to wait a really long time to place my order. I chose a tarte flambée with salmon and shrimp. You can see in the pictures what tarte flambée with salmon and shrimp means here. The tarte flambée wooden board has seen better days. My conclusion: Here you need a decent alcohol level in order to no longer notice a lot of things. Not a feel-good place.👎🏻

A nice location, friendly staff. Taste good, but not outstanding. The Cola Zero was served without ice and without lemon. The drinks also only came after the food had been served and at 30 degrees...The cocktail S** on the beach tasted quite boring. The knives are very blunt so I had to eat the pizza with my hands. The dessert I ordered at the beginning was forgotten. The visit was nice, but we wouldn't come here again.

Hair can be found on the main course and side dish. When you ask the staff about it, they answer like “yes, what should I do now?”. Not recommendable.

The service is too slow for me.

I've been there twice now. And I have to say, great restaurant, really good food, and really great prices because it's right on the Rhine. Very fast service, always friendly staff. You can sit outside as well as inside. Can only recommend it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 would love to come back. 😍👍

Very quiet location for the old town. Food fantastic! Will go there more often!!!

There was dried milk on the cappucino cup, which must have been stuck to the cup for a long time because the dried milk couldn't even be scraped off with a nail, as well as a few drops of dried coffee and should I drink from the cup? ?? NEVER!!!

Great location, good service, top food and drinks

Had lunch here with family. Meals were good taste but small portion. We had 3 dishes with pasta, 2 of them with chicken and 1 with beef. The amount of meat in every portion was ridiciously low, not even 50g of meat there. Also, pasta with chicken supposed to have broccoli, and there was only one small piece of broccoli. Plus + for heating system, it was cold and rainy outside but heaters kept us warm 👍.

The breakfast was not justified for the price. Pure, ready-made food with no taste. There are far better spots for just under €30 for 2 people. However, the service was good.

Food wasn't good. Service totally overwhelmed. Chairs and tables are so close together that smokers smoke all around you. As regular customers we are really disappointed.

We ate well and the prices were in line with the place. One piece of advice might be to tidy up the place a little. Overall I would stay here again!!

Top food Delicious drinks Great service and the service is very prompt Can only be recommended

Nothing special. Moderate choice of dishes. Actually more of a shawarma shop packaged as a restaurant with prices to match.

Not recommended because the food didn't taste good.

Service was very pushy and the food was too salty. Salty enough for my taste but too salty for my family. It's also pretty cold locally.

We ordered different schnitzels. The quality of all of them was very poor, the sauces were even inedible. Based on the otherwise often good reviews, I assume that the other dishes taste better. Maybe you could concentrate more on this and make the map a little smaller.

Unfortunately, our schnitzel was finished from start to finish, the turkey schnitzel was simply horrible and the sauces were pure bags of products. I wouldn't go here to eat, if only to drink and relax. To address the owner's answer: Yes, it was the Slavia restaurant

Hungry from the journey, we sat down here to get something to eat, from there you have a pretty good view. That's it for the positive point. Unfriendly conditions, bad service, no fresh salad, 0815 frozen meat, tastes like a fast food restaurant from a swimming pool. A friendly farewell was also too much to ask. I cannot recommend consumption here.

Was there with a friend at the weekend. Food very good and the staff extremely accommodating. When I'm back in Cologne, my path will definitely take me there again.

Best service and best Aperol on the Rhine! Again and again!

A group of six of us attended this week. A mixture of languages spoken in our group. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, food and drinks were very good. Comfortable seating inside, lots more outside (which we didn’t utilise). No complaints at all.

We only drank cocktails here. They were all super tasty. But the food at the neighboring tables looked good. Nice waiters, we didn't have to wait long. Great view of the Rhine and the Hohenzollern Bridge.

The food was super class. Definitely 5 stars. Rump steak special and minced steak. The ambience at this time is nice in the evening under the baby grill so that it stays cozy at this time 03/2024 The service was also attentive and courteous, but when we wanted to know which crystals (sugar, salt, dish soap... 🤷‍♂️) were left in the last glass of wine spritzer, everyone was speechless. Us too... Maybe it would be possible if you ordered the drinks from the neighboring restaurant? Because the food was really great.

Great service, everyone was on their toes, always friendly - the food and the size of the portions were also really perfect. We really enjoyed being here as a group. All requests were addressed and always implemented immediately.
