Stadtgarten in Köln

Everything used to be better ;-) A great gem in the middle of Cologne in summer with delicious beer and cocktails. A great organic Christmas market in December. Unfortunately, in 2024 there will be more drinking and eating stalls than crafts. That's a shame because the many small stalls have always been so exciting. But the children's punch and the food were also convincing ;-)

Would I recommend anyone to go here? Probably not...not because it was terrible, but just because it was so absolutely average. The food is "meh" and quite expensive. Service top, nothing to complain about, but that corresponds to expectations. The ambience isn't particularly pretty, but it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable either. I can't think of anything why you should definitely go here.

Nice local Christmas market. Homey vibes

I was at the Christmas market. Confusing, but cozy and beautifully set up. But the prices were “old, pretty expensive”. Otherwise recommended.

Every year there is a very nice, manageable and cozy Christmas market in Cologne.

Of the Christmas markets we have visited so far, the mulled wine (white + red) tastes best here. It's not too sweet and well seasoned, but it's priced at €5.30. The stands are different than at the other markets - more alternative or small shops or companies.

Studio Colette particularly creative carnival hats and clothing, unique and special❤️

The beer garden of the Hellers Brewery is simply beautiful and cozy in summer.

Cozy gem with good food and service in a pleasant atmosphere. In summer with a great beer garden and music, in winter with a Christmas market. May it stay with us for a long time...

1 potato pancake €2.50, 1 mulled wine €5.30. You lose all the fun at the Christmas market

Very nice Christmas market in Cologne, not so touristy.

Best Christmas market in Cologne. Great but expensive mulled wine 😄

It's pretty, the food is okay but not outstanding. Service a bit overwhelmed

Great beer garden in summer and one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in winter. And concerts and and and...

We were there with a group of 10 people, Sunday at 6 p.m. Had reserved. There's a Christmas market outside at the moment and it was really busy. It was pleasant in the restaurant, well staffed but not full. The staff was very friendly, quick and always had an open ear if you wanted to reorder drinks. The food is very good and very varied. There is something for everyone. Lots of classic dishes, one of us ate kale with mettwurst, burgers and currywurst and lots of vegetarian dishes. Everything was appetizingly prepared and everyone enjoyed it.

Another great Christmas market, we had some gorgeous hot cocktails, potato pancakes, Grünkohl- all of it was absolutely beautiful ❤️ it's a really beautiful spot to sit and enjoy a drink.

Atmospheric, but also quite busy Christmas market. There is even a Punch and Judy show.

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere right next to the park. In summer you can eat outside for a long time and drink cocktails. Sometimes live music on the stage outside.

I was at the Christmas market here. Small individual stands with high quality products. Not to forget the usual dishes, varied and delicious. Highly recommended. I felt very comfortable.

Always lovely there for the Christmas market

It's average to say the least. Could be better but it's below par in my opinion.

Very beautiful, lovingly designed Christmas market

The restaurant was chosen by my sister when we visited her in Cologne. A simple but cozy atmosphere is inviting and the cellars are courteous and quick to help. The ordering process is beautifully modern and digital. I like that kind of thing. The drinks ordered right at the beginning took a short while to arrive, but not bad. The food, on the other hand, was available really quickly and the prices are really good for 2024. To some people they may seem high, but I find them to be absolutely adequate and almost low for the quality of the food, both in terms of taste and presentation. The food was excellent! There is no other way to express this. It was very, very tasty and beautifully prepared. It was delivered to everyone at the table almost at the same time. Perfect! The menu is clear, but I mean that in a positive way. Here you concentrate on what you do best. There is a large selection for vegans and vegetarians, but meat lovers are also not left out. The catch: Since we neither live in Cologne nor are we there regularly, I can't judge whether this is the standard situation, but the music was very loud. And I mean very loudly. So loud that normal conversation became virtually impossible towards the end of the evening. I'm hoarse now and it wasn't fun. When we arrived it was loud but not so loud that we could still have a fairly good conversation. Towards the end, as mentioned, impossible. I was really surprised that no one in charge noticed this. For this, and only for this, there is a star deduction. Otherwise the city garden would have truly earned the 5 stars.

We waited 40mins before we could even order any food and another 40mins until the food arrived. Staff was friendly but overwhelmed and food was ok - bread, brioche and sauce hollandaise were clearly industrial and the pancakes were tiny

€5.30 for a mulled wine, €4.90 for a sausage, €7 for 3 potato pancakes without anything, just perverted! There's another star for the ambience and the toilets, which are at least free.

Very tasty, great ambience and the staff was super friendly.

Sitting outside was ultra comfortable, although a bit chilly as the evening approached. The waitresses were smart, quick and funny. The food was delicious and we were able to continue eating indoors in the warmth without any problem.

Were in the city garden for the first time. Everything to our satisfaction

We've been there several times with larger groups and everything went well. The food is delicious and there is also a good selection for vegetarians and vegans, would like more of it - it was so well received by the group 😍🌱

Very easy to do, but there are better places in Cologne

We sat outside was fine so far. Unfortunately the menu was missing a few pages. We didn't know this until we paid because there wasn't much food on the menu. It's a shame otherwise 1 star more

Have been there several times and have never been disappointed. The selection as well as the taste and quality of the food are usually top! Service was always very good on all of our visits. Due to the location you should just take the train, parking spaces are very rare. You can also book a small separate room for a private party (approx. 30 people) - clear recommendation

Wir saßen direkt neben der Tür zu einem Raum mit privater Gesellschaft. Aufgrund der Geräuschkulisse hätten wir uns gewünscht, dass die Tür gelegentlich mal geschlossen worden wäre. Ansonsten immer wieder ein schöner Aufenthalt im Stadtgarten.

Very strong smell of grease in the concert hall

Very nice old trees, meadow and a few benches. Not too big playground in the shade. Despite the proximity to the train station, pleasantly quiet.

Cool location with a great outdoor area.

A beautiful location in the green lung of Cologne. I was there most recently as part of the Digital

The park and restaurant always invite you to linger and relax.

Alles hervorragend, sehr zufrieden. Essen äußerst lecker.

Great location. Always changing events. One of the highlights of Cologne. It's nice that this exists.

I didn't know Green Room yet. What a great location. Roll-up roof, open air feeling, music was simply wonderful, ambience was wonderfully summery. I didn't eat, just drank 😃

It's nice to sit outside and the service is attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the food at the table was consistently poor and unloving. We had fish and chips, a starter platter and tarte flambée. There's a lot that could be improved. The drinks were nice and cold and tasty, but a bit too much expensive. If the food was better you would like to come back.

The beer garden in Cologne, nice service and good food. In the evening various live concerts during Jazz Week.

Very nice staff, great location, in the summer you can sit outside and enjoy a Kölsch with friends ☺️👍🏻 always a pleasure! Definitely make a reservation, even during the week!

Had an extensive brunch there, highly recommended!

The beer garden is really very nice but the live music was deafening noise, you couldn't even call it music but just an unpleasant noise. Headache and pressure in the ear

Real beer garden in Cologne. Of course you shouldn't expect fine cuisine here, but it tastes good, is sufficient and affordable.

The stay in the Stadtgarten Cologne was very pleasant from start to finish, not to mention the ambience. The service was always friendly and attentive! The drinks reached us in no time and the food didn't take long to arrive either. When we finished eating, we decided to order dessert. A tasty treat! 😋 I can recommend. 😁👍

Great service from the staff, beautiful venue was a great atmosphere for our party. Thanks

Good service, delicious fresh salad. For me, the ambience in the beer garden is unbeatable.

The Christmas market is always beautiful.

Great central beer garden and top event location with a large stage.

Sat on the terrace with lovely views View of the beautiful, green outdoor area. The food and service were fantastic! Thank you for this lovely evening

Located in the gardens of a night club. Wooden garden table and chair/ benches. The food is very brunch/ breakfast selection for lunch. The aubergine was good as was the fries Aperol sprits was good. Service was slow. Ambience is nice- in the gardens, even if it drizzles, the foliage of the trees allow protection.

I had a cocoa with cream (the cream was fresh!!) and a piece of apple 🍎 cake. I had never found such a fresh one with large recognizable pieces anywhere. A ratio of 90% apple and 10% dough. The service was very friendly and open to having fun. The price-performance ratio was completely fine!!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I wouldn't go there again to eat. But otherwise it was very nice.

Very nice beer garden, but unfortunately we were often overlooked by the service, even though it was becoming increasingly empty. Unfortunately, things didn't seem to be going any better around us. Still recommended!

Super friendly service with passion as a hostess.

A nice place to go especially in summer to have a beer / wine and some German food. The food selection is fair related to a „beer garden“, you can go from vegetarian salad through Flammkuchen, Burger (+veggie Burger) to Bratwurst, Currywurst and many others. They serve also Brunch on weekends. Always like to go there and service personnel is usually very friendly and helpful.

Very nice service and very good fries and especially sauces. I'm always happy when I make it here. The fries are so good that I haven't been able to try anything else yet.

Cozy spot under the trees in the middle of Cologne.

Schnelle freundliche Bedienung, Essen war gut und man musste nicht lange warten

Sat on the terrace today and was served by lovely Sophie. It was a celebration, thank you!

They were all very nice to me. Location and facilities are good. I have nothing to complain about.

A lot has changed for the better since then

We ate here for lunch on a Sunday. We dat outside and we liked it a lot. The atmosphere was really nice, especially during a sunny day, it is nice to sit in the green environment. The food was delicious and the princes were okay in our opinion. The location is also good as it is directly located next to a park, where we took a walk afterwards. There are several vegetarian and vegan options available. We definitely will be back again.

Everything used to be better - everything used to be good! Nice beer garden in Belgian! Things were cooler in the late nineties and early noughties! But maybe it's just a personal attitude to life!✌️🤔

You only pay for the ambience offered.

Nice garden restaurant centrally located at the West train station, friendly and fast service, good food

Man sitzt auf der Terrasse sehr schön im Grünen, das Essen war gut und die Bedienung freundlich.

Great corner with a great view, I had the breakfast burger which I thought was absolutely amazing. Definitely come back!

It was very nice outside in the beer garden, the service was friendly, the food was delicious and all in a beautiful setting in the middle of the city.

Ambiente, Essen, Getränke, Bedienung alles war top!! Ganz besonderes Lob gilt der netten Lady, die die reservierten Tische am Anfang zeigt. Sie ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit! Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

beer garden mix; some with self-service, some with table service. Under trees with and without canopy. Typical student beer garden. Recommended.

Nice beer garden and a nice Christmas market at Christmas time. - What is always very annoying, however, is that there appears to be a practice room for the musicians in the basement, which is unfortunately very poorly soundproofed. Therefore, from time to time you have to endure a terrible roar.

Good food, good service, can be recommended

Sehr guter Service. Schöne Biergartenathmosphäre. Ansprechende Speisekarte.

Absolutely disgusting place, incompetent service, who asks for a tip at the end even though you waited 15-20 minutes for drinks...

An oasis in the middle of Ehrenfeld. The restaurant of the same name is located in a city garden, which also offers a great spot for eating and public viewing at EM2024 with several screens. In my opinion the selection of food was very small but well mixed. My pulled pork was lukewarm and rather too salty when served. Fries were served without the desired sauce. In keeping with the service that day, which unfortunately seemed to be overwhelmed. Drinks ordered and served 15-20 minutes later. You ask for a glass with your drink and it takes about 15 minutes. To get it. But despite obvious stress, they were very friendly and lasting. The ambience is the perfect spot for long and beautiful summer evenings! Highly Recommended

Sitting under the trees in the beer garden on a hot summer day, what more could you want? Good service would be nice and was delivered. There is also a good price-performance ratio. A menu with something for everyone, except my sausage salad ;-) In short: a relaxed lunchtime in a pleasant environment.

Very friendly staff - wonderfully fast and good food, even when it's full to capacity, wonderful ambience - always worth a visit ✌️

A pleasant location that I visited for the company summer party. The somewhat separate, covered outdoor area was nicely decorated.

The beer garden is often closed For drinks only self service Only 0.3 Koelsch, unfortunately no 0.2 more and these at exorbitant prices Last year the experience was much better and we stayed here very regularly. We decided to try other establishments this year. A pity

Great location for the European Championships, very nice beer garden

Es war alles gut, Reservierung, Tisch, Essen und Service.

Great beer garden in summer with broadcasts of major sporting events such as the World Cup or European Championships. It's fun here and it's very green!

Nice, quiet park in the middle of the city. Barbecue forbidden,

The ambience and food is good, but every time you wait at the entrance to be served, the staff completely ignores you. You are invisible. The waiters chat, drink and sometimes stand around, but no one serves you. Unfortunately, probably the last time. A pity.

An institution for decades. The food was tasty and beautifully presented. We had a lovely service staff and the sun was shining. Always my pleasure.

Very cool and very loud, always full shop… the burgers weren't that great… starters were great

One of the few beautiful beer gardens in Cologne. But the prices are quite high for self-service.

Es war super - wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!

The outdoor area of ​​the restaurant is cozy under the trees, where you can be served. Everyone will find something on the menu. The vegan spinach dumplings were delicious!

Ambience is great. The meal was okay. Wine and spirits are not recommended. Unfortunately our Aperol and the service didn't work at all. We complained about the Aperol Spritz because it wasn't drinkable and it was the cheapest alcohol. It was about the same level as if you were buying the cheapest Prosecco in a discount store for €0.99 and the Aperol copy for €1.15. The waitress arrogantly said that they wouldn't actually exchange a drink just because someone didn't like it. When I suggested to her that it was already clear that they were mixing cheap discount booze together here and that I didn't have exquisite demands, but simply didn't want cheap booze for the money, she seriously said that in a beer garden that's just what you get Drinks can't expect such quality. Baaaaaaaam. She didn't say. Unfortunately yes. She then acted as if I was a spoiled snob for whom it just wasn't exquisite enough. So if that's the case, please don't charge the same prices as in a cocktail bar or take the drinks off the menu. Apart from the fact that such statements are not possible at all. Or please write on your card: Beer is good here, we are a beer garden. Unfortunately, you can't expect much from us when it comes to the rest. We're just a beer garden. We paid €75 for 3 people. You can also expect normal standards. As I said, the food was okay.

Very good food, large vegetarian selection, friendly service and green outdoor space

Very prompt and attentive service. The food was great.

Actually a very nice place but after I ate the asparagus bowl yesterday I got a nice case of food poisoning. I assume the salad wasn't that good anymore, as it tasted like these ready-made mixes anyway. My companion ordered something cooked - if at all I won't eat anything raw there anymore...

Nice atmosphere but unfortunately the service is very poor and you are too often ignored as a guest. .

It was very nice, cozy and delicious. I'd love to come back 😊

Always great, see you next time
