The Small Steakhouse in Köln

Very disappointing, it was our first time there and we ordered salmon fillet and cordon bleu. The cordon bleu came out of the deep fryer and was in there too long - the meat was so dry that you could hardly swallow it. The salmon fillet was also "fried to death" and just as dry. The only bright spot was the fresh vegetables. There are also some dusty, dirty corners in the restaurant.

As always, it was delicious in the small steakhouse. 🤩😋 The restaurant on the 1st floor above the dm in the high street seems rather inconspicuous, but is absolutely worth a visit. There is a great selection of food - even if you are a vegetarian in the steakhouse… My parents' steak and turkey schnitzel must have tasted excellent and my truffle pasta was simply divine, to die for... Always a pleasure - preferably at the window to watch the colorful hustle and bustle on the high streets...

There were three of us and we didn't order much. Our order was noted, but then the rosemary potatoes and pepper cream sauce were missing. But the entrecote beef steaks were delicious and just right, medium rare. Despite the air conditioning, it was quite warm in the restaurant.

Our favorite restaurant in Cologne

Very tasty food for a good price. I was very impressed with the service because I hadn't had such an attentive waiter in a long time - thank you very much and keep it that way!! :)

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was awesome, and the service by the staff was truly exceptional—friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout. The ambiance was pleasant and comfortable, making it a nice setting to enjoy a good meal. We had the king prawns to start, which were fresh and full of flavor. For the mains, we went with the rumsteaks and the entrecôte, both cooked perfectly medium rare—juicy, tender, and packed with taste. We finished with the strawberry cheesecake, which was the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. Every dish was spot on, and the overall experience was top-notch. Highly recommended!

...what kind of waiters are they? They're kind of grim. Just don't ask the wrong question...

very accommodating and responded to many special requests

We have rarely had such delicious fresh food. The meat was on point. Super recommended!

Food delicious as always. Service relaxed and friendly.

The steak is very good, but I advise you to make sure that the medium rare is not too raw.

Essen ist super lecker. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

The meat and service are very good, I definitely recommend it.

Seems to be a very popular steakhouse in the heart of Cologne. I had prawns for starters which were unexciting. A bit overcooked and served plain. The steak was a 300gr Rump that was served with a baked potato and salad. It was a good piece of meat. Cooked well to my liking (medium). I'd give the steak a 9. The salad wasn't good in my opinion. The dressing was aggressive and inedible. The baked potato was decent. It is exploding with butter and cream, and is dominantly sweet from the oven and butter. We didn't have desert. The service was quick, pleasant and to the point. We had local beer with our meal, which I personally liked (dry, bitter, light, German lager).

Wow, they grill the meat to perfection. Simply delicious and melt in your mouth

Good service! Tasty food and very friendly!

Very nice stuff and delicious food

Thank you for the delicious steak. Salads and burgers were great.

Very simple reservation system Extremely friendly welcome and service Starting with the crisp, fresh salad with tasty dressing, over a superbly cooked baked potato, for the perfect steak with excellent Pepper cream sauce, rounded off with a fine crème brûlée and finally the obligatory espresso! Spoiled guest...what more could you want?

One of the best food experiences in Cologne

Delicious dishes and very attentive, friendly waiters 🫶🏻

You can also visit spontaneously without a reservation. Something for everyone.

Good, honest quality! No frills and no false hype. Consistent quality

The Kleine Steakhaus in Cologne offers a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. A positive feature is that dogs are welcome, and a water bowl is provided upon request. The menu is concise, but the quality of the dishes leaves much to be desired: the 400g fillet steak tasted only average, and the pasta with prawns disappointed with poor ingredients and bland seasoning. Furthermore, the prices are unreasonable—a bottle of water for €7 seems overpriced. The central location on Schildergasse lacks charm. Overall, the value for money isn't right, so a return visit isn't planned.

Very nice ambiance and really well-prepared steak. Service is also very friendly!

The food wasn't bad for the price. The atmosphere was good and people seemed to flock there. However, the server's attitude was not friendly to the visitor. I didn't even ask about how the meat was cooked. The evaluation is average.

The food was very tasty, but your appetite disappears when a mouse is spotted in the restaurant. The waiter saw them, but simply let the guests sit even though the mouse was under the tables.

The food and the service was great. I had the Cordon Bleu and it was very tasty, including the side salad.

We had Bordeaux mushrooms as a starter. Super tasty! A steak (ribeye) and a cordon bleu for the main course. Both were cooked to perfection and the portions were fine. The side dishes (baked potatoes and the vegetable platter) were just as tasty and didn't skimp on the quantity either. The service was nice and very professional. Waiting times were moderate despite the high number of guests. We will definitely dine there again.

Very good food, excellent service, reasonable prices

Food was okay, waiter was an absolute disaster, totally unfriendly, listless and derogatory. Mayflies on the move. No recommendation

The main course was very tasty, the side dishes unfortunately not so much. Nice, cozy atmosphere, but a lot of very annoying fruit flies…

Once at the carnival in Cologne there was a challenge with my best friend 🫶, it takes a good foundation 😏 We had a really good meal here and the service was very attentive. We had a wonderful evening together!

Nice waiters, tasty food and good prices. Come back in 2 weeks. In the middle of the pedestrian zone

Highly recommended. Centrally located in the city center and quite inconspicuous as the restaurant is on the 1st floor. But it's really worth a visit, super tasty steak and very nice service. Fair prices. I will definitely come back.

A nice place, the 200g steak was tasty, but not a fan of a boiled potato with sour cream, as a side dish. A bit expensive as well.

Fresh, nice, great service, always happy.

Very tasty steaks, I especially liked the lamb!

Nice little inconspicuous restaurant, very nice accommodating service, meat was great. Vegetables top. Fresh salad.

Always nice and friendly today very unfriendly and my mezzo mix tastes more like water than mezzo mix. The bread was only brought after he asked, apparently he had forgotten it and the waiter then corrected him on how to ask for bread Maybe the waiter was having a bad day

Very tasty food, fast service and pleasant atmosphere.

Short and sweet. A good steakhouse. I had a grill plate that evening. The meat was fried to a perfect medium rare and tasted really good to me. The staff is friendly and helpful. You visit guests regularly and you don't feel neglected. The restaurant is no longer the newest, but everything is very well maintained. If you want a delicious steak, this is definitely the right place for you.

Very tasty, best rump steak 😋 great service

Ordered steak-Spieβ medium rare and it was cooked as i wanted. Very soft and tender. Great combo with baked potato filled with cream. And what a better way to accompany with a Lagavulin 16. Excellent service and fast. Atmosphere as it should be for a proper steak.

Nice steakhouse right in the city center. The service was very friendly and the food was good.👍

When we visit Cologne we like to be here. A little more expensive, but food is good

It's that time again for a few clear words in the restaurant industry! The first impression is always clear and simple. A friendly welcome, a clean table and a menu card. Everything was good so far. After I ordered, I could observe how some waiters were just standing around, like, "I don't have anything to do, I could just take a quick look at my cell phone." Hello?!? That's completely dubious people! You can do this during your break! Your guests want to have a nice evening with you and be pampered. So do your job well. Sorry guys, I went a little off topic. I ordered a “Mixed Grill for €27.90” as you can see in the photo. The portion was very manageable. The beef steak tasted great, nice and juicy. I only specifically requested the herb butter, which should actually always be put on the table with a steak. I also liked the turkey steak or rather a piece of turkey fillet and then a minced steak should please my taste buds and what do my eyes see on my plate?!! Now hold on to your hats: “A Burger Patty”! A bland and unseasoned normal patty is declared as a "steak" and the waiter knows that it has been served for a long time. I found THAT very bold of management to fleece the paying customer's wallet. Then I ask myself, how much did my cola cost if I paid a total of €33.10? A little over €5? Or were those the fries instead of the dry baked potatoes, or the pieces of herb butter that were already packed together from the fridge? There's something wrong with you if you're trying to rip me off. Then make a proper invoice where I can understand everything I'm paying and not a scrapbook that just has a number on it with a little scribble. From now on I will find out what my order looks like before I order it. I'm curious how patient the waiters can be on my next visit. This time I was really very disappointed with the little steak house!! I hope it gets better...

Good steak house, excellent food

Everything was top and definitely recommended!

We just found everything great here! Service, ambience and food are simply great! Very nice and competent service. Thank you, thank you ❤️

Extremely basic place with below average food. Soup was served almost cold and burger was simple and not tasty. Table was dirty and radler goes in 0.25 glass...

Attentive staff, very friendly, we recommend!!!

Very nice restaurant and delicious food

Excellent food in a modern atmosphere

Very tasty, very very friendly staff and prices are also great 🤙🏽💪🏽

This restaurant should not be missed in Cologne!

Really unfriendly chief staffing

Everything was just right, so a clear recommendation

Was very satisfied and would like to come back

Always great... nice service and delicious food. We'll be back.

Sorry but customer service is really bad first forgot the starter salad and then give stupid answers for once!!!!!

The food was very good. The service was very attentive. The price-performance ratio is good

Absolutely top class. Very good food with a lot of choice and very good service. What more could you want? Oh yes, the location is of course great, in the middle of the pedestrian zone. Only recommended.

The service was good. We were greeted warmly and got our food quickly. The ambience was also great. Had a great seat by the window. We had turkey steak with vegetables and grilled potatoes with salad. The steak and vegetables were very tasty. The salad wasn't quite to my taste but OK. Unfortunately, I hardly had any grilled potatoes on my plate. It was already wrapped and very mealy. Add a huge portion of sour cream on top. The chili cheeseburger was quite good. You'll definitely get full and the price is right.

I thought the food was very good and the window seat was also very nice. I also really enjoyed the fries.

Great little steakhouse. We had garlic mushrooms to start. For mains I had the lamb cutlets and my boyfriend had the 400g rump steak. Food was amazing, only slight issue was my boyfriend asked for his steak to be cooked medium, and it was more on the rare side. Cocktails were also lovely.

A nice steakhouse. However, I have eaten better fillet. Service was very good

Went here a few days ago. Ordered a ribeye, got a rump. Mushroom sauce was still had lumps of uncooked roux, condiments where served in McDonald's style sachets. Fries are cheap frozen supermarket fries which where hard and dry. The only thing I liked where the serving staff who where great.

The burger and the goulash were very good. Unfortunately the burger bun wasn't on the grill and was therefore very dry.

We ate here for the first time today with our 8 year old daughter. Great ambience, extremely friendly service, very good price-performance ratio, super tasty steak and baked potato. What impressed us was the children's menu. Tasty dishes are offered for €6.90. Our daughter chose a schnitzel with fries. The portion was equivalent to an adult portion and it was super tasty. We'll definitely be back ✨

As every year when we are in Cologne over Christmas, we visit the small steakhouse. Not easy to find if you're a stranger (it's on the first floor of the shopping street and you don't look up that often) but the view of the people at the rear is all the better. In my opinion, price/performance is very good. We have never been disappointed. The waiters are very friendly and the food comes to the table very quickly, even though the restaurant was always full when we visited.

Ate here with a friend. Arrived without a reservation and was told until what time a spot was available. We both had the schnitzel (turkey or pork variant). After ordering, a simple, but delicious salad and a bread basket soon arrived on the table, as well as our ordered drinks. This came standard with the main course. Food was very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Location perhaps less convenient, because if we hadn't looked it up, I think we would have walked past it. Located in the shopping street on the 1st floor. There are stairs and an elevator.

I've been eating steak here regularly since 1985 and I hope I'll stay loyal to you for many years to come. A big thank you to Mr. Viscovic and his team

Good steak but bad service. The older waiter with glasses stopped smiling the moment we asked for the lunch menu. If you're reluctant to sell lunch menu, stop promoting it then. There was an accident with spilled drink on the table and he grumbled as he came to clean it up, and never even bother to ask if we want to order another drink, which isn't smart for a waiter, first he forgot to upsell, and second it is just plain service after you see the customer has no more drink on the table. We have had it with the service by then, so we didn't bother to order anything else. He only smile when it's about time to present the bill and he had the gall to ask for tip. Wow. We certainly will not come back. Plenty other places serves great steaks in town.

We had dinner here 9 years ago and yesterday we had a delicious meal again. I had tried the flank steak and it was cooked perfectly. Everyone else was happy too and we had a great time. I would also like to emphasize that there is even a lunch menu on Saturdays with discounted menu offers.

Small restaurant in the main street of Cologne, adequate service. We ordered the mixed grill 3 times and it was excellent! The service doesn't ask how you want it prepared, but it is wonderfully tender the way they prepare it as standard. They are generous with the portions, we couldn't finish the main course. Top restaurant on a busy Sunday evening!

Really delicious and good experience. Enjoyed the steak and atmosphere.

Hello everyone. I like to go to the small steakhouse often. The location is great, the food is great and the service is great. So all in all a highly recommended restaurant.

Lovely food, nice surroundings and friendly wait staff - recommended 👌

Small but fine steakhouse. Delicious.

Were yesterday December 14th. on a little men's tour. I got a nice recommendation for this restaurant beforehand. What can I say, it was worth it. The food and service were just great... Maybe again next time when we start our men's culture trip from the Moselle towards Cologne..☺️

We were visiting Cologne, wanted some delicious food and found the perfect restaurant. Delicious!

A little hidden restaurant on the first floor, but in the middle of the old town on Hohe Straße. Good quality, quick service. We ordered a Martini Rosso without ice. I wouldn't have guessed that it would be warm. But I didn't think that was so bad. The food was good, steak with champions. But I was missing something. In any case, I thought it was good value for money. Overall recommended.

Very tasty food, reasonable portions, attentive and very friendly waiter

You can enter without a reservation, the tastes are good, the service is fast.

Delicious food, great service. The only thing that bothers me is the constantly slamming entrance door.

Very cozy, fast, friendly service, steak very good, special requests carried out exactly

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.

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.

One of the Best burgers in Köln

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.

A really cozy restaurant with great food and nice staff.

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.

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.
