Tapeo Picus in Köln

Delicious tapas, attentive service, cozy atmosphere

Gigantic delicious tappas! Highly recommended.

The Mercadona tortilla is better... the potatoes are very hard... anyway

One of the top addresses for tapas in Cologne. Always happy to come here.

As always, very good food...we were happy 🥰

A bit noisy as it is quite full at peak times. But super tasty tapas! Absolute recommendation!

We have eaten here several times. There is a large selection of different sangrias and delicious tapas. It's always relatively full, so it's always better to make a reservation.

Were there for the first time today, but I have to say that we've already eaten some delicious tapas. So the dates arrived cold (the other tapas were all cold to lukewarm and therefore tough), the pimentos were very clear and the 3 small vegetarian balls were far too expensive for 6 euros. The other tapas were also very expensive.

Wow, that was delicious. Great food, nice staff, typically Spanish with lots of people around you. Great outdoor area. Reservations make sense.

We can't understand all the good reviews except for the service. The cocktails weren't good, the squid rings were bad and the breading was really sticky, the prawns in olive oil didn't taste like anything and the olive oil was heated too high so it had a bitter taste. The aioli is not homemade and is poorly bought. The rest was average. For a tapes bar that wants to be authentic, unfortunately there is far too little quality and taste and we cannot understand the reviews.

All of the dishes we chose were excellently seasoned and prepared. Friendly and attentive service. Simply delicious and great

Delicious tappas and a nice place to socialize!

The menu and quality have declined significantly in recent years. 5 years ago I would have given it 5 stars.

Nice authentic tapas bar. Very tasty food

Lol ordered crab meat and got small processed fish cake balls? The rest was quite ok.

Repeat offender, had another great evening. Service would get 10 stars, it couldn't be better. Tapas and sangria great. Thankful for places like this in Cologne. Top employees, very friendly and keep an overview. The employees behind the counter are just as friendly and very quick. The sangria, there are several variations, tastes very tasty and is made with fresh fruit. The tapas are very, very tasty and fresh. There's a lot going on and I thought the atmosphere was great. If you're looking for a quiet place, this isn't the right place for you.

Excelent Food And Service!! First time here and we will come back for sure 😊

Delicious tapas and damn good sangria. Highly recommended!

Very tasty selection of tapas, lots of Spanish-speaking employees and a cool atmosphere. I'd love to come back.

Spontaneously came here with 7 people on a Saturday without a reservation, everything was made possible so that we could get a table. Food and drinks came super quickly and the food was really delicious! Absolute recommendation - very, very nice and attentive staff!

Again and again and every visit is pure culinary pleasure, extremely friendly service, simply worth repeating!

The service was great - the staff were friendly, attentive and went out of their way to make our evening enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre in comparison. The dishes tasted okay, but there was nothing that particularly stood out or justified the price. I found the portion sizes particularly disappointing, as they simply weren't right in relation to the high price. All in all, a pleasant evening, but I would have liked better quality and more generous portions for the price.

My wife and I have been visiting this place for about 3-4 years, unfortunately today was the last time. It's more expensive, you get less and, worst of all, it has dropped very significantly, unfortunately we do not recommend it.

Unfortunately the price/performance ratio doesn't match. In the past, three tapas were enough to fill you up. Now not even 4 anymore. What a shame. Quality has also decreased. Service and service very nice

Pretty standard approximation of Spanish tapas that you will find in most cities. It was decent though but nothing special.

The food was very good and the service was mostly very attentive and friendly! We sat outside, which is reasonably quiet despite the location.

Good to very good tapas. Unfortunately, two of 13 different tapas were too dry. It was very crowded, but no problem with a reservation. Despite the rain, we were able to sit outside. Service is nice, nice to be primarily English speaking. With sangria, water and 4 tapas per person it was just over €40 p.p. issued.

Attentive and friendly service, lots of choice, dishes attractively presented. All good - gladly again.

Absolutely awesome, great food!

You should give yourself a try.

I've been eating here for years now and it's always been perfect!!!!!! Thank you

We have eaten at Tapeo (also at the old location) many times. So far we have always been satisfied. Price/performance was definitely right. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worse. The positive first: The atmosphere outside is nice. The service is friendly and attentive, even if it sometimes seems overwhelmed (but it should be mentioned negatively that the staff asks you to leave after the assigned 2-hour window - even if the first hour passed before the order was even taken ). The quality of the food has also declined significantly and, in our opinion, the price/performance ratio has become miserable. For example, we found €8.50 for 5 small frozen prawns with olive oil to be exorbitant. 4 half slices of bread with aioli (which was always available in larger portions on the house) are now priced at €5. In addition, the sangria tasted very watery and, according to the menu, cheaper ingredients were used than before. Conclusion: €40 per person for 2 sangria and 2 mediocre tapas didn't meet our price/performance feeling and we won't be coming back in the future!

Just great! Food, service, drinks…. perfect. Yummy!

Delicious tapas & cool drinks, friendly staff and what's great in summer: huge terrace!

Great place, especially in summer, to have a drink and something to eat with your friends!!!

Tapas I've learned is expensive snacks. Like, you want: 6 mushrooms? €4 4 meatballs? €4 15 mussels? €6 Not worth it imo.

We made a reservation for 8 p.m. and still had to stand in a long line and wait. Then why did we reserve?

For me the best tapas bar far and wide! The boss and his team always try to find a table for us, the staff is friendly and quick, both tapas and cocktails are simply delicious! It's also nice to sit on a large outdoor area in the summer and comfortably inside in the winter with nice music! Thank you for the many great evenings with you!

Delicious tapas are recommended

Very good sweet restaurant. Food was very tasty considering it was probably frozen food. You are welcome to take a look

Extremely nice, stress-resistant staff Delicious food and good prices Very clear recommendation

We were there with 8 adults and 2 small children from 5:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Lots of activity and yet very friendly, fast service. The tapas came to the table nicely together for each round. There were even small fresh fruit snacks for the children. And the tapas are simply delicious. 🤤 Thanks to the great team!

Very tastefully prepared tapas, quick and attentive service.

A good tapas bar. The service is quick and friendly. The tapas are very tasty.

Very tasty tapas! Nice place to sit outside. Would go here again. Unfortunately, the staff sometimes seems a bit unmotivated.

Tapeo has been the leading tapas bar in Cologne for years. Exceptional tapas, fantastic sangrias and delicious cocktails invite you to a relaxing evening in a cozy atmosphere. Please definitely try it out 🤗👍🏼

Good food big selection of sangrias many vegetarian options not much for vegans

Tapeo & Co. in Cologne is a very good place to enjoy delicious tapas and cocktails in a cozy atmosphere, with attentive and friendly service included

Nice place in the middle of Cologne to eat tapas. Everyone was super nice. (Waiters sometimes only speak English/Spanish, could be a problem for others). The food is great and there is enough vegetarian choice for a Spanish restaurant.

I've been a couple of times and unfortunately I think it's overrated. The quality-price ratio... the price of the tapas is exaggerated for the quantity that then arrives on the table. Yes, the taste is all right, authenticity not so much anymore. I would say that the waiters and cooks give their best but that does not mean that it is a good Spanish restaurant.

Tapas! What else? Right in the middle of the city with lots of space, great staff and even better food. The store has been on our list for a long time and what better way than to watch Germany versus Spain at the EM2024 in the restaurant. 😜 The tapas cost 6-9 euros per bowl. Perfect to share and enjoy. Everything from our order tasted good. There are also other specialties on the menu (paella for example), but we haven't tried them.

Super nice service and great food! We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to do something even though it was very busy. Always my pleasure!

A bit like an assembly line, but still very nice - tapes ok, no haute cuisine - nice place to sit

Very good selection of different tapas. The tapas were all really delicious! You can also sit outside there, great atmosphere.

I have never been treated so unkindly in a restaurant! Maybe the service staff should be trained on how to talk to guests

Unfriendliest employee in the world. I was in such a good mood and she took all my mood away. I just wanted a place and something to eat but she told me go somewhere else. Never again

The food came very quickly, but unfortunately most of it was cold. The tables are so incredibly narrow that you can hardly move. Unfortunately very un-relaxed

We were here with 9 people and it was wonderful. The service was very friendly and was available promptly. The drinks came quickly and so did the food. We can recommend all dishes 100%. We also tried almost everything. The only thing we didn't really like was the Crema Catalana because the icing was very solid. Down in the basement you could also take a look into the kitchen.

Nice restaurant with good standard tapas. Unfortunately, the dining room smells a bit too much like the kitchen.

The attention is worth emphasizing. Many young Argentinians, with very good vibes and the attention that makes you want to return. The food 10/10. What a pleasure to drink Spanish beer! The atmosphere is very nice and the space is very spacious. The bathroom is halfway away (be careful if you've had a little too much to drink), but the rest. Flawless. I have to go back!

Very tasty tapas, at reasonable prices. The sangria could have been a little stronger. The service was very good. All in all very recommendable.

Far too expensive for a real dinner, and the restaurant itself was very loud. Service hardly ever comes to the table and barely understands German. The food was otherwise quite good, just really expensive for the small quantities. We were a larger group and things were forgotten or mixed up.

Very tasty tapas, delicious sangria, unfortunately 3 tapas were not delivered when we ordered but we were able to come to an agreement with the boss. I will gladly come again

The atmosphere is pleasant and the waiters are quite friendly. Unfortunately, this is below average. Unfortunately there are better tapas shops in Cologne and the surrounding area. The calamari only tastes like fat, the prawns taste like nothing. The Boquerones are quite good. Unfortunately, taste, quantity and price are not in proportion. The first and unfortunately last time. :/

Service can be a bit faster if you have them for a drink

Typical Spanish tapas shop. The staff was super friendly and the cooking was incredibly quick without neglecting the quality. A good selection of tapas with a fair price-performance ratio.

Very tasty and also a very nice restaurant, the deduction of the stars is only due to the fact that it is incredibly loud, which makes a cozy meal impossible. But the food is really good!

I come here often already all 3 years that I live in CGN. It’s definitely a spot where I always go with my visitors as well. The service is beyond.. The food and drinks as well. The BEST.

A great spot to enjoy Spanisch food, the waiters were really nice and the food arrived really fast.

Food was very good, prices are reasonable for Cologne. The service staff were very attentive and extremely friendly. All in all recommended.

My friends and I were thoroughly impressed by this restaurant—its staff, ambiance, and, especially, the exquisite food served. Every dish was exceptionally delicious, and we are eagerly looking forward to our next visit!

Great location, nice waiters. They could also “occupy” the table for longer. At the end there was a schnapps on the house. Gladly again and again.

Was there for the first time Price-performance ratio is okay The service staff were friendly and accommodating

Haven't been there for a long time and still good quality Spanish tapas. The shop is actually always full and this time we were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The cocktails are a must. If you like sangria you should try one of several variations here.

Nothing special. Mediocre tapas. Most of the staff don't speak German.

We are thrilled!!! We spontaneously got a table and were thrilled from the start. The employees were super friendly and nice (there was definitely a well-rehearsed team at work here who also left a great impression with each other). The food was very tasty. Share and eat your way through, there is definitely something for everyone. We would love to come back here.

I was there for the first time recently. The atmosphere was pleasant, although every single seat in the store and on the terrace was occupied😄 loud, but not disturbing.. Delicious tapas, good service and a varied drinks menu. Always happy☺️

We were there in a large group. The food is really good! So it's incredibly close to the atmosphere in Spain! Every single tapa dish was delicious. I recommend choosing around 3-5 depending on the tapas. The price-performance ratio is given. The employees are very friendly. And in summer there are a large number of places outside. A reservation is advisable.

Some of the best tappas I've ever tasted! Every dish is different, well seasoned, great sauces, a variety of breads, and the waiters are very accommodating

Actually a nice and cozy restaurant. Unfortunately you don't really feel welcome. We felt like we should eat and drink quickly and then please leave. At some point the bill was placed on the table without a word. The tapas were average. We definitely won't come back.

They made everything possible so that we could stay there without a reservation. Very tasty food, great atmosphere, very friendly and nice staff

Location looks nice, our service was spanish and speaks spanish and english. The dissapointing point was the food. First the Sangria was okay, but cost 6,90 per serving. The food was horrific. The bread seemed old, it was cold and a bit hard. On top of that you pay the bread and the dip extra, which is normally for free when ordering Tapas in spain. ( 2,50 for bread and 2,50 for dip, making 5€ in total!) The tapas.... so overall it tasted like procecced warmed up food. The meat balls were nothing like spanish meat balls, but more like german "Frikadelle". Fried sea food was soggy (not crispy) and even the olives were obviously not fresh, but provably from the glass. Per tapas you pay about 6-7€ and you really get nothing for that money, neither in taste nor the amount. For me clearly not recommendable.

Great, delicious tapas, extremely good, unfortunately also expensive. In terms of taste, I can do it again at any time, as long as money doesn't play a big role.

Always lovely evenings at Tapeo&Co. Delicious tapas, you can hardly decide with the delicious selection. And very tasty paella, preferably with meat and fish. But don't forget to pre-order. Plus a delicious sangria. Perfect evening!

Large selection of delicious tapas, cozy atmosphere, very friendly, attentive service, even though the shop was busy and busy.

Nice tapas restaurant with a huge selection of tapas. Everyone will find something here. Very fast service with top quality.

Very cozy and small tapas bar. The service right down to the food was really perfect. Proud prices, but that's no longer objectionable these days. The quality of the food is excellent and the service is also excellent. All in all great. However, you should reserve in advance, even for just 2 people.

Delicious tapas and plenty of choice. In a group, everyone can order what they are familiar with and try new things. You feel like you're in Spain.

The sangria selection is really great, there is a whole menu and everyone tastes really delicious. The Tapeo team is also warm and super nice, we felt totally at home. But I wouldn't recommend it for eating, the portions are really tiny and unfortunately they arrive at the table barely lukewarm after 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the taste is also rather mass-produced. But for drinking sangria with a bit of bread and olives, tiptop!

We were there at 10 p.m. and were asked to go out again because they were already available, even though there were people eating inside and they were supposed to be open until 12 p.m. Very embarrassing for us and very rude.....

The place for Tapas in Cologne. Ambiente and food on point! Especially worth a visit during summertime!

I can't quite share the good reviews here. The atmosphere is ok, the tapas taste good - but it's definitely not a "five star kitchen"! Unfortunately, the prices for the sangria and tapas are way too overpriced. If you're hungry, you shouldn't go here - it will be expensive!

All dishes were very tasty. The service was nice, attentive and we were served quickly.

Fast, friendly service Tapas fresh, hot and delicious

Top service! Tables were rearranged for us, service with drinks and food was extremely quick. Extremely delicious! Absolutely to suggest!

Delicious Spanish tapas, incredibly fast service and outstanding sangrias.

You feel like you're in Spain, the price is right, the quality, the taste, the selection... we'll definitely be back. Toilets are down the stairs, I don't know if there is one on the ground floor.

Good place to eat delicious tapas! - large selection of tapas - good quality, really tasty - Reservations make sense! - On weekends you only have the table for 2 hours - Price-performance is okay, but it shouldn't be more expensive - We really enjoyed the lemonades!

Very nice service and great food. The sangria selection alone is outstanding. We always like to come back.

Delicious tapas, delicious sangria, friendly service, lively atmosphere - it was a very nice evening.
