The Small Steakhouse in Köln

Great restaurants, located in the busy shopping streets of Cologne. The entrance was a little bit hidden, but once in, the atmosphere was really great, the stuff was very friendly, and the food was very good. Really good value for money, especially when you go for lunch.

The restaurant in the pedestrian zone seems very inconspicuous, we have walked past it so many times, but yesterday we ate there for the first time. The atmosphere up on the first floor is very nice and cozy, we sat in the second row to the window and could still look out wonderfully. The staff is very friendly and the food came to the table quickly and was very tasty, the meat was cooked to perfection. We'd love to come back.

Can't say anything better about Saturday. Awesome

We were walking on the pedestrian zone in Cologne and discovered it by chance. We come in just before half past four. Until then you can order from the lunch menu. We kindly asked if we could still order some if possible, which was answered in the affirmative. Three ordered one from the normal lunch menu. The drinks came very quickly. Shortly afterwards the salad. It was fresh with a dressing. A short time later the main course. We were surprised at how delicious everything was. My husband was thrilled with his steak. But everything else was also good. We would definitely go there again if we were in Cologne.

One of the Best burgers in Köln

We've eaten in other restaurants several times, unfortunately we can only give 1 star for the steaks, side dishes were ok... the only good thing was the nice waiters. Price/performance ratio isn't right, so we wouldn't come here to eat again.

Personally, the food always tastes great to me. The ambience on the first floor on the right wasn't really my thing, but the left side definitely was... We definitely always enjoy eating there

Top service. Even without a reservation, they made it possible for us to get a table after a short time. A great evening.

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Thanks for everything, great! Only the furnishings could be done a little differently, otherwise everything is great! Without exception.

Perfect service! We were there with 21 people. Everyone got their food hot at the same time. It's rare to find such good service. The drink replenishment was also great. Price-performance very good. Steak perfectly on point. We'll definitely go there again.

A really cozy restaurant with great food and nice staff.

The *Black Angus fillet steak* is a dream, highly recommended!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

We were here for the first time today and I've never had such a good schnitzel, it's just great. Please keep it up, very traditional.

Super cozy, super friendly and personable. Food super juicy and delicious. The Dubai cake also very good. We were thrilled. Keep it up 😊😊😊 Thank you very much for the taste experience

Steak was well fried, unfortunately a bit firm to the bite, but the meat wasn't the fault of the cook. Would come back at any time if I was in Cologne again, nice, very attentive service, prices absolutely okay

The food is great, the service didn't even say thank you for the tip, but it's very cozy in there.

Everything happened very quickly and tasted great. I just didn't think the "Dubai chocolate cake" tasted the same as Dubai chocolate. The rest was perfect.

Very tasty steaks, friendly service, highly recommended, the lunch menu

We had a wonderful evening in this restaurant! My son and I enjoyed the prawns as a starter - and best of all: our wish to have them without garlic was fulfilled without any problems. I really thought that was great! For the main course I had a delicious rump steak with baked potatoes, which was simply excellent. My husband chose the rack of lamb and was also thrilled. The atmosphere was inviting and the staff was super friendly. We would definitely like to come back! A big thank you for the great food and good service.

The food and service were perfect. The recommendation and explanations about the cooking point. No comment. Simply perfect. Especially since the chef had implemented it accordingly. Shortcoming, I clarified on site, cleanliness was, well, but the Chjef knows it and I think it has been remedied

Although there is no appointment, very nice and helpful, children are also welcome.

Great location, the food was super tasty. Greetings to Marcel, the best waiter in Cologne, thank you for the great hospitality.🤝👍

I was at the restaurant for my birthday. If you are looking for a steak house with quality and also centrally, then you have come to the right place! Service was very nice and polite as was the quality of the food. I'm honestly very happy with my colleagues. Thanks to the Lord for the amazing dessert :)

Steak to perfection! Service top unobtrusive, very nice! Everything clean. Lunch prices OK. Come back often!

Very tasty food steak exactly as it should be and very friendly staff...the desserts are also highly recommended

Rather inconspicuously located in the pedestrian zone, but with a nice atmosphere inside. The background noise was already louder, but we were still able to enjoy our food. Steak to the point - the potato gratin is a delight. Prices completely reasonable. And if you need a lot of protein, choose the Tomahawk Steak!

Das Essen ist ja sehr lecker. Dabei war Salat. Der Personal ist korrekt und nett

This is the right place to eat delicious steak in cologne. Lovely ❤️💛. Near to Dom church and shopping street. This was the 4th time and no change! Quality is not a coincidence!!!

Had the steak with fries, it was lovely

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food.

We came across this steakhouse late in the evening while looking for a restaurant. The waiter didn't seem enthusiastic about accepting guests shortly before the kitchen closed. But we got our food and the waiter made the espresso before the machine was cleaned. To eat, the salad was fantastic. Crisp, fresh and an extremely delicious dressing. My cordon bleu was the best vegetable I've eaten in a restaurant in a long time. Unfortunately I had to neglect the fries. My husband's steak was on point, the sauce was incredibly tasty and the amount of fries was perfectly balanced. However, my husband was most pleased with the Peugeot spice mills. All in all, we are super satisfied and can only recommend this small steakhouse.

Black Angus 300g taken. Was quite good. Nothing to complain about. The waiter was very good. The manager, however, took a small salad, sat across from me and watched me while I ate. I have to say that I went there in sweatpants and a cap and looked like a bum. But a good restaurant doesn't recognize a good customer by their clothing. Tipped generously so you could learn for the future. Clothes don't make the man, dear GF! As you see so often 🙃

The quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired. You can only order a second drink with a lot of patience. The staff prefers to chat instead of paying attention to the guests

An all-round successful evening

Food and especially the service excellent

Nice restaurant, unfriendly service. Food is okay, drinks were not replenished. If it's supposed to happen quickly and nothing is expected then maybe

Good simple food at normal prices

This steakhouse still seems authentic, without the tourist crowding that you see in other places. You can even watch the chefs prepare it. The ambience is well-kept, the service is friendly and attentive and the food is very tasty. Here, for example, fresh vegetables are fried/steamed. We had rump steak and salmon and can recommend both.

The restaurant in the pedestrian zone appears very inconspicuous and is quickly overlooked. If it hadn't been recommended to us by friends, we would never have ended up there. The ambience up on the first floor is very nice and cozy. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious, the meat was cooked to perfection and of top quality. The restaurant is only recommended. We'd love to come back.

Enjoyed very tasty food here. Portions were sufficient and the service was very friendly. See you next time

Great and delicious food, location on the top floor in a shopping street, but it does not detract from the atmosphere. Friendly staff who asks for tip money, don't do it, you get more.

The Schnitzel Cordon Bleu was really well prepared, I am completely satisfied with both the taste and the price-performance ratio. However, the staff could have been a little friendlier. Although the dining area is quite comfortable, the toilets desperately need cleaning! ✨🌹

Surprisingly delicious food at a location you wouldn't immediately expect.

An inconspicuous entrance on Hohe Straße 73-75 in Cologne city center. But there is a relatively large restaurant on the first floor with lots of seating - also suitable for groups. Table can be reserved online. Very fast and good service (today by Samir). Rump steak 200 g (medium) with baked potatoes and a good, fresh salad with bread for a total of under 30 euros. It tasted very good. Gladly again!

Always worth a visit. Sometimes the food comes very quickly, but it's better than waiting too long. So great!

My carnivore heart beat faster with excitement. We were very satisfied. Thanks.

This was unexpected, went here because my husband used to went here a lot when we was younger, the service was good, we got nice table by the window, the meats were high quality, we would come here again for sure, as a tourist it would be hard for me to find the entrance, but worry not.. can just ask the locals

Excellent cuisine & service. Although centrally located on Hohestrasse in Cologne and on the 1st floor, it's an absolute tip for anyone who likes steak. Meat is prepared to perfection and tastes excellent.

Great fillet steak here, place was empty when we ate so atmosphere as such but nice staff and good food.

Very tasty food and friendly staff.

Delicious food, perfect potatos

Great steak, since we stopped by spontaneously we were really surprised at how good it was! Definitely the best baked potatoes!

A great restaurant, unfortunately a bit hidden with a small entrance and then on the 1st floor. Very good steaks and with really numerous variations and side dishes. There were four of us and we had four different dishes, which were all served together and tasted very good. Great salads as a side dish and very friendly and fast service. We'd love to come back because everything was great.

Really delicious burger, but the bowl portion was unfortunately very sparse. But: very friendly and patient service staff!

Food very tasty, friendly staff. Gladly again 😊👍🏻

The food and service were great. I didn't like the atmosphere that much! But it's a matter of taste 🤷

Absolutely unreal. And very reasonably priced

Very nice welcome and friendly, friendly service. We had two burger menus with curly fries and a side salad. The taste of the meat and the quantity was good, only the sauce from the salad takes some getting used to. But we would come again and can recommend the small steakhouse.

I was there last night with my girlfriend and the waiter was very rude. He told us to order very quickly, and even though I speak German well, he acted like he didn't understand me. After he brought the food, I talked to my girlfriend. I was just there, and when he saw that we weren't eating, he said loudly: (People here have to eat) An old gentleman with glasses. Very rude and with bad behavior. I'm a waiter too, but I'm always friendly, not racist!

I was there last night with my boyfriend and the waiter was very rude. He told us that we should order very quickly and even though I speak German well, he pretended not to understand me. After he brought the food, I talked to my boyfriend. I was doing it, and when he saw that we were not eating, he loudly said: (People here must eat) an old guy with glasses. Very rude and bad manners. I am also a waiter, but I am always kind, not racist

The service conveys the feeling that they think they are the best, but it wasn't that good. Tough, don't ask how “well done” your meat should be. And very stuffy inside, no terrace! Relatively expensive.

Very great ambience steak restaurant with great food and great service. Really enjoyed our dinner here👍

It was very, very tasty with friendly service in a nice atmosphere! Gladly again :)

When we entered the restaurant the waiting staff were just chatting sitting down at tables right as you entered. No one said anything to us and we were eventually told to just pick a table. I ordered chimichurri with my flank steak and it was horrific. I'm annoyed I didn't take a picture. It was a brown mess and tasted extremely old. I complained and they said they use many herbs and it is always brown. Chimichurri is a lovely dressing with a vibrant green colour normally and should taste like it looks, vibrant and full of herbs. This one sadly tasted like it looked. They did remove it from the bill which was nice of them. During our time eating there was a waiter standing in a chair in the middle of the restaurant adjusting how low the lights were hanging. This simply isn't acceptable, do it before opening. Steak was cooked fine and our waitress was good. If you are going on a date, the interior is extremely tired and worn and the food doesn't make up for it so keep that in mind. Avoid this place. There are many other steak restaurants.

Inconspicuously located from the outside in the pedestrian zone, after taking the elevator (or stairs) you will find an excellent steakhouse. Quality is excellent, service is quick, reservations are helpful.

A very nice, cozy restaurant, which also offers people like me, with more pounds on the ribs and wider hips, very comfortable seats that invite you to linger for a long time. The service is courteous, friendly and yet not too intrusive. The food is quite okay for the quality and size of the portions. The central location directly in the Hohe Straße pedestrian zone really invites you to come here after a beautiful day in Cologne. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Very friendly and professional service. The dishes are also very well prepared. The restaurant is a bit cramped due to the location.

Was here for lunch. Grill plate tasted perfect. Very, very positively surprised, as it looks very inconspicuous from the outside. Place to be!

Great food at very fair prices. Waiters super nice and attentive. Only recommended!

The food was good, the service was very good. In principle, you can recommend it if you get a correct invoice at the end. That wasn't the case. We received a receipt - not an invoice - without a TSE signature. Hence deducting a few stars.

The food is very good and the prices are okay. The service was also very nice.

Very well eaten, super friendly staff

Very good food and incredibly friendly, attentive service staff. Highly recommended!!

A cozy little restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was excellent and the price-performance ratio was reasonable. I can only recommend it.

Hello, I was in a small steakhouse today. I ate penne with salmon for 14.90 euros. Not recommended, unfortunately the salmon died twice, the second time it was fried to death. Unfortunately there is no price match. The toilets very dirty!!! And the photos that are posted don't quite correspond to reality. No longer worth a visit!

Very good, inconspicuous restaurant from the outside with excellent service. We ate there with a larger group and were served very quickly and, above all, in a friendly manner. The food was ready quite quickly, was of good quality and everyone was satisfied. In addition, the prices for food and drinks were fair. I recommend this steakhouse without reservation.

Excellent steak would visit again. I did visit again the next night but Google didn't ask me to review for some reason so adding it to this one. Went again the following night and had the 400g Huftsteak, it was amazing with nothing left on my plate at the end. Would definitely recommend this place

Fast service, friendly! The food: GREAT!!!

Great place where you'll love to come back. Thank you for the great hospitality 😊

Food delicious, staff attentive, atmosphere pleasant - what more could you want?!

Was there today (yesterday) for the first time. I ordered a 400 gram sirloin steak with fries. Was delicious. You didn't have to wait long either. Service was also very good. I'd love to come back!!👍

Food was delicious. The boss didn't like that we wanted to pay separately. Because of a mistake, he behaved rudely and conspicuously talked to his colleague about our table and pointed to the table. The sales of 6 people are outrageous.

Were there during the Cologne Pride weekend 2024. Eating went like this. Service above all else. This was a visit once and never again

Very nice restaurant. I ate a very well prepared steak. The service was great. Very accommodating without being intrusive. We will be back.

One of the best steaks I've eaten and the service was very, very good. Super nice and attentive! Facility is okay. Definitely coming back again!

We received a great welcome, the orders were delivered quickly, the food was delicious.

It was absolutely one of the best steakhouse experiences of mine in Cologne. I have to mention that portions are pretty big. Chef deserves 5 star! Also service is fast enough. It’s a place I’d recommend highly if you are craving for a tasty meat!

Very good food. Nice service. We were satisfied and would like to come back. 😋

As always, very good. Thanks to the nice weather we still got space

I have just left restaurant. I ordered filetsteak which was moderate. More important problem, there is minimum one mouse inside. While i was eating it was moving between tables. I informed chef immediately. Their reaction is pity; “There are lots of mouses in Cologne. They are coming from contruction. Doors are open.” For me it is not acceptable. Even i said there should be mother and father or others they accepted mouses in the restaurant as normal. Never recommend.

Very good steak restaurant with good value for money. A little hidden on Hohe Straße, but always worth a visit!

Top food, something for everyone, family friendly.

Super delicious food. It's always worth a visit.

They gotta fix the male bathroom a little bit but it is still a very nice place to get food

Very friendly and attentive service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere and the prices are also great. I'd love to come back.

Very nice service! Very quick and excellent food! If we are in Cologne again, this would be our first port of call when it comes to food. Thank you.

The waiter was really on the ball when I asked about gluten-free options. Excellent! We were also able to take leftovers with us. :-)

The food was, as always, very good. The steak was cooked to perfection and the pork medallions were very tender. The vegetables that came with it were also very good. The service was very friendly and very quick. Here you can enjoy good food in a pleasant atmosphere.

Snails are so tasty and the creamy mushroom soup is great as well

I haven't eaten steak before I went to this restaurant, but at the Little Steakhouse I had the best steak I've ever eaten. Since then, the restaurant has been visited on every day trip to Cologne. Tip: the lunch menu is great and very cheap for the quality you get. The service is always nice and courteous. Definitely recommended!
