Tigermilch in Köln

A really nice Peruvian restaurant tucked away from the main Street. The dishes were very tasty and authentic. It’s really nice to find a place where food is prepared from scratch with a twist of flavours.

Unfortunately I can't agree with the good reviews. We had 5 dishes and we only really liked the ceviche. The beef was tough, the octopus was way too well cooked and the cassava fries were so dry that we could hardly get them down even with mayo and left more than half of them back. It's a shame, the pictures and reviews were promising. However, the ambience and service are good. Overall, I think the price-performance ratio is not right here.

The best Pisco Sours and Basil Smash I know 👌

Best bar/restaurant in all of Cologne!

Very nice staff, great evening, thank you very much! Jorge in particular was outstanding!!

Small, interesting dishes. Fine cocktails. I particularly liked the cassava fries with spicy sauce. Be sure to reserve on the weekend!

First visit and definitely not the last! Friendly service, good advice on the dishes, great food!!! Well coordinated, good quality, I'm very impressed. Any time again and clear recommendation. Be sure to reserve

Excellent food and super friendly staff. The prices are justified for the quality you get. I'll definitely come back.

Der Besuch im Tigermilch war alles in allem sehr gelungen. Der Service war schnell und sehr freundlich, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Die Bestellungen kamen sehr schnell und alles gleichzeitig. Das Ambiente einfach, aber durchaus gemütlich, passt zum Konzept. Das Essen war insgesamt gut, einige Gerichte waren wirklich richtig klasse und überraschend, anderen fehlte es an Pfiff und Würze.

This place is always super busy and after finally eating here I get the hype. All dishes we had here were delicious, a twist on traditional classics but retaining the general flavor profile. Lomo saltado was the standout for us, very different from the usual versions yet steak and mashed potatoes were perfectly prepared. Leche de tigre in the ceviche was too acidic, but fish tasted fresh. It’s a bustling place inside, loud and the tables quite crammed together, and I wouldn’t say it’s very charming. But would definitely come again for the food. Pisco sours were in my opinion too sweet.

I just have to say, great. I didn't have high expectations for last night. Trying out a new restaurant, Peruvian of course. But what we were served was simply great. The meat was juicy and tender to the point, the sophisticated sauces were all super tasty, the Manjok fries were crispy, the fish was a dream. In short, a meal that can be served in upscale restaurants without blushing. And at moderate prices. What made the evening so great was the young service team, nice, courteous and knew every dish. No question remained unanswered.

Phantastisch food, super delicious and lightweight. Something that you would not expect and you wouldn’t eat every day so that it stays special. One of our favorite places in Cologne. Definitely worth it and priced decently.

A “must visit” in Cologne. The food was incredibly good and so harmonious. The cocktails are also highly recommended. We will definitely come back!

The food was very tasty and special! Unfortunately we had reserved for the wrong day, but they still made a lot of effort to provide us with a place! If I visit Cologne again, I will definitely come back!

Unfortunately, it is heavily oversalted, difficult to digest and very expensive. Not a great experience.

A great restaurant with exceptional food to share and very attentive and friendly staff

Great food with great service! We'd love to come back. 😜

Dieses Restaurant ist der absolute Hammer. Mit ihrem Konzept und den peruanischen Speisen mit leicht asiatischem Einfluss hebt es sich von der Menge an Restaurants deutlich hervor. Das, was hier geboten wird, ist aus meiner Sicht schon fast Sterne Niveau. Für den Service reicht eine fünf Sterne Bewertung schon nicht, aber leider kann man da nicht mehr Stande vergeben. Vor allem mit Carlo und Philipp hatten wir unglaublich viel Spaß und tolle Ansprechpartner. Wer also das besondere sucht, ist hier genau richtig

Although as an experienced food critic I am rarely impressed, Tigermilch Kitchen pleasantly surprised me. Despite the initially somewhat cool reception, the cuisine here shows true skill. The ceviche is simply exquisite, the freshness of the ingredients incomparable. Each dish reflects the team's culinary talent. For true foodies, this restaurant in the Belgian Quarter is an absolute must - it stands out from the crowd. My recommendation: Be sure to reserve in advance before the crowds arrive. A small piece of Peru has found its place in the heart of Cologne and impresses with its authentic taste. ❤️

Wow, Tigermilch Kitchen really blew me away! Okay, so the reception was a little cool at first, but guys, don't let that put you off. The kitchen is absolute madness! 😍👨🏼‍🍳✨ I really just wanted to play companion and not eat anything (diet, you know), but these flavors completely threw me off track. Every single dish was a blast! The ceviche? Heavenly! The fresh ingredients? A dream! Honestly, I couldn't stop trying. Diet? Forget! That was so worth it. If you're in the Belgian Quarter, you MUST go here. Give your palate the chance for this fireworks of flavors. Tigermilch Kitchen simply rocks! Absolute recommendation from me – you won’t regret it!

Absolutely super delicious food. Top service. Unfortunately on the day I was there it was only served outside. Which wasn't so pleasant. Due to renovation work on facades and garbage cans... (I would have liked to sit inside)

Food was really tasty, I thought it was a bit too expensive And I think it's a shame that it was only open outside...

Food was great. Only if there are 7 of you and everything comes at once then there is little space on the table :) .

My friend and I had the most incredible meal at Tigermilsch, made all the more enjoyable by amazing service. Perfect Pisco Sours to top it all off! Recommend wholeheartedly.

Was there on a warm summer evening. We sat outside and had something to eat. The food was delicious and the chef even came to the table for a chat. Drinks, food and service were great. Prices are also great. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Nice Cerviceria in Cologne. The food was prepared fresh and visually appealing. Tends to be a bit too unbalanced. One of the cevices tasted extremely sour. Nevertheless: overall tasty and recommended.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, everything was absolutely delicious!

It's a special shop - the quality of the food is high, the selection is small but fine, the service is friendly, the location is beautiful and the playlist is on point.

Very tasty food and attentive service. The four of us with two bottles of water and four Pisco Sours paid almost 200 euros including a tip, so it was a very expensive pleasure, for which I have to deduct a star for value for money.

Great restaurant, the food was impressive! We'll definitely be back :)

The food was really something special! The cocktails were great too! We are already looking forward to the next time!

The evening at Tigermilch was good overall, but unfortunately the price-performance ratio wasn't right for us. For example, two small pieces of meat for 15.90 euros, which when extrapolated to a main course costs around 50 euros, we found it very expensive. The yuca/cassava fries for €8.50 and mini dips for €1.90 each and a small salad with avocado for €10.90 were also quite expensive. The ceviche was good and the pisco sours were delicious. The friendly service and the nice seating outside were positive, but over €300 for four people (with two pisco sours each) for a Peruvian tapas evening was too much for us.

Der Service war freundlich und das Essen war hervorragend. Allerdings haben wir für meinen Geschmack zu lange auf das Essen gewartet und auch als wir fertig waren wurde uns nur noch wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Lag vielleicht daran, dass wir am Ende der Terrasse saßen. Würde den Laden trotzdem unbedingt weiterempfehlen, allein schon aus dem Grund, dass die Speisekarte einfach mal etwas anderes bietet.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening with fantastic service and excellent food! The many variations of ceviche were all great. Thank you very much, we will definitely be back!

Great food, worth it. Not cheap but very good. Two years later, great again.

Really cool Peruvian place! Dishes are more to share together, which I enjoy. Can be quite loud but I like it. Reserve in advance, it gets busy.

Very tasty Peruvian food, interpreted in a modern way. We really liked the selection of dishes and the principle of being able to share dishes! There were also some vegetarian options. The octopus dish was great, the cassava fries were a bit too dry/large but that's probably just the reason. The Peruvian white wine was also suitable and rounded off the evening. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer for service and drinks. Still absolutely recommended if you just want to try out a slightly different cuisine! We liked it a lot 😊

Really very good food with very competent service. The restaurant has cold and warm dishes and you can choose about 2-3 dishes per person, which are all served at the same time - also ideal for sharing. Unfortunately the hot dishes were already cold when they arrived, but that was okay For two people it cost around €100 with 6 dishes and a large bottle of water

Unfortunately, more appearance than reality. Price-performance ratio unbalanced. The individual, small dishes cost as much as main courses in normal middle-class restaurants. This raises the price level almost to fine dining, but the food can't keep up with that. There are numerous restaurants in Cologne that deliver significantly more quality, taste and inspiration. The name, location and style sells well on Instagram, but that’s it.

Super tasty, exceptional food. Service very nice. We'd love to come back ;)

Very tasty food and cocktails! Every dish tastes different and it never gets boring.

Very tasty food and cocktails but a little bit too expensive. Service was great!

We had a great stay and delicious Pisco Sour here. The service was really so great and attentive!

We waited 1 hour and 15 mins for the food to arrive - we asked about it twice and both waitresses said they would check but no-one got back to us. The dishes are the house's own interpretation of the original Peruvian dishes, which they resemble very little. The food is tasty but if you are looking for traditional Peruvian food this is not the place to find it.

Nice service and delicious food that you can't find on every corner. Good selection to try out.

Super friendly service who is happy to explain the concept and the individual dishes. I would describe the menu as Peruvian-fusion cuisine; you can definitely see Asian and Arabic components. The portions are medium-sized, the prices are high, and there is also some outside seating on the sidewalk.

What a pleasant surprise to discover this Peruvian fusion restaurant in Cologne, recommended by a friend. We tried three cold and three warm dishes, and my favorites were the "Ceviche Classico" and the "Aji de Gallina." You must start the dinner with a Pisco - both the traditional and the basil varieties are excellent. I will definitely be back!

Tigermilch ist für mich immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Bei der überschaubaren Speisekarte überzeugt jedes Gericht mit hoher Qualität. Meine Favoriten sind die Rinderherzspieße und das Cevice classico. Auch die cocktails sind überragend, vollste Empfehlung. Service ebenso sehr freundlich, schöne location!

An extraordinary taste experience, wow! In our opinion, definitely worth a visit.

Peruvian-Asian fusion cuisine in tapas style to share and try. That's exactly how you should do it, just order as much as possible and try everything. Everything was extremely tasty, Yuca fries on the side to fill me up, I was completely full and happy at the end. I would order every dish again, but Ceviche Clásico, Tiradito (raw tuna with ginger, radish and grape) and Corvina a la Chorrillana (eaglefish with a kind of broccoli and miso) were the absolute highlights. If I had to find a point of criticism it would be the open wine. I would especially like the Sauvignon Blanc to have one with more punch compared to the very spicy food, but it was still delicious. The service was very friendly and also responded helpfully to questions about dietary restrictions.

Just one detail, if you want to go without a reservation they will not attend to you, even if there were table spaces. You need a reservation and it doesn't matter if it is for one person.

Great place. Super friendly service. Food is excellent. A pleasure to be at Tigermilch!

I was there for the first time today. The food was tasty, but didn't really taste authentically Peruvian. Ambiance very minimal and contemporary, but didn't remind me of the restaurants in Peru. It was nice, but next time I would probably go somewhere else.

War schon irgendwie spezial die Location,aber Essen war gut,genau so wie Bedienung.Preis Leistung ok,glaube aber das ein mal mir genügt

Fantastic food, extraordinary creations, great spices and delicious Pisco variations. Something completely different and an absolute recommendation!

For my birthday, I reserved a table in the bar area for six people at the front - a week and a half in advance and with the note that I just wanted a drink. Two hours before my reservation begins, I receive a call saying that my table has been reassigned because I don't plan on eating anything. It should be emphasized that I was presented with a fait accompli and no attempt was made to clarify this with me beforehand, because I would certainly have agreed to eat something in order to keep the table. So on this, my birthday evening, I'm almost without a table. Thanks for nothing! That is not how it works! Please organize yourself better and call at a time when you can still look for an alternative or simply communicate this on your homepage!

The ceviche was amazing. I liked the cold dishes better than the hot ones. Quite pricey. Good service.

Food very tasty and unusual. The dishes are small and you are advised to order 2-3 per person. A dish costs between €12-18 Service not really attentive, resulting in longer waiting times when ordering.

The service was great but the food was really extremely salty. In general I was very disappointed by the lack of balance in the taste, too salty, too spicy. One always comes through too strongly and is not in harmony with one another. A pity :( I wouldn't recommend the place for a long, cozy evening because it is really, really loud. Sometimes people have difficulty understanding each other. Therefore only 3 stars. Service was super nice and attentive, thank you ❤️

One of the best restaurants in Cologne with some cool dishes that are only available here. Could also be included in the Michelin Guide 👌

Great food, especially something different than what you usually make. Tastes great! Service terrific. Super attentive and friendly, even on Saturday evening when the restaurant is full.

You can eat exceptionally well here at higher prices. We definitely loved it and it was a feast for our taste buds. When the store is full, it gets quite loud. Please note: If you make a reservation between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., you will unfortunately only be given a time slot of 2 hours.

excellent cuisine, magnificently orchestrated flavor combinations, the only drawback is a fairly noisy room, but this is more than compensated for by the attentive staff and the incredibly good food - the prices are quite appropriate for the quality of the food

Decent authentic Peruvian with some innovation and novelty. Tad pricey but still good food. Ceviche is small but very authentic. Reservations highly recommend; booked out on a Friday night. Food highlights: octopus with Parmesan mousse, beef heart skewers Food to skip: lomo Saltado - pricy for 2 slices of steak, potato mash

Ich liebe das Essen dort. Ich war zwar noch nicht oft dort, da ich oft spontan essen gehe und es kurzfristig leider oft ausgebucht ist, aber was ich bis jetzt dort gegessen habe, fand ich mega lecker! Und auch der Pisco Sour ist ein Traum! Auch der Service ist top! Leider ist der Speiseraum selbst recht groß und wenn er ganz voll ist, ist es schon ein ziemlicher Lärmpegel. Aber wenn damit zurecht kommt und einfach gutes Essen und gute Gesellschaft schätzt, dann kann man trotzdem und auf jeden Fall das leckere Essen und die leckeren Drinks genießen.

Been back for the first time in years and still cool. But unfortunately the food was lukewarm and admittedly it wasn't brought to our table straight away. It would have been freshly prepared for us, but we didn't want to wait again because we had already waited a bit long (almost 1 hour) when it wasn't at full capacity. Plus, we didn't want to let the food go to waste. Unfortunately everything was a bit too salty. And we like salt :) We'll still be back - if only because of the very good Pisco sour. And all the employees are very nice!

Wir können die so vielen guten Kommentare leider nicht verstehen. Ein sog. "Sharing-Konzept" macht sicherlich Sinn, wenn man eine Küche präsentieren will, die eine der besten der Welt, aber nicht sehr verbreitet in Deutschland ist. Dann sollte man aber authentisch bleiben und sich nicht bei Kritik "von der klassischen peruanischen Küche" distanzieren. Denn dann ist jegliche Beschreibung der Gerichte auf der Karte irreführend. Die Hauptzutat beim Ceviche ist nunmal Limette und nicht Grapefruitsaft, das wunderbare Zusammenspiel von Limette und Salz ist nun mal substanziell, da führt kein Weg dran vorbei. und wenn man sich schon nennt, also Leche de Trigre - Tigermilch, dann sollte man wenigstens dieses authentisch anbieten - wenn es auch als Willkommen als Gruß von der Küche wäre - als Anregung. ...und Lomo Saltado, das Nationalgericht, heißt übersetzt springende Lende (Lomo/Lende vom Rind), weil es im Saft mit den Zutaten kurz flambiert in der Pfanne, seinen urtümlichen Geschmack erhält - 2 Scheibchen Rumpsteak auf Butter-Kartoffelpürree mit einem Hauch von Soße, die auch noch mit Kumin überwürzt ist, das hat nichts mit Peru zu tun - da kann man noch so viel "fusionieren". Sorry, aber die Lokalität ist wirklich nicht zu empfehlen, schon gar nicht für das Preis-Leistungs-Geschmack-Verhältnis

Wir waren abends unter der Woche im Tigermilch. Wir haben uns zu zweit eine Auswahl an Speisen geteilt, die von extrem unterschiedlicher Qualität waren. Der Fisch und Pulpo waren top, die Rinderherzen allerdings nicht. Ganz schlimm waren die Maniokpommes, die so trocken waren, dass wir sie nicht mal aufgegessen haben. Die Cocktails waren dagegen wieder top, wir mussten nur leider sehr lange darauf warten. Hier kommen wir zum nächsten Problem: Wir haben es gerade mal geschafft 2x Getränke zu bestellen, wobei die zweite Runde erst an den Tisch kam, als wir schon fertig waren. Alles in allem keine runde Sache. Das Beste an dem Abend war der wirklich sehr nette Service!

In my opinion the best service in Cologne. Food is also a total taste explosion and we don't need to talk about the Pisco Sour... respect!

"My visit to Tiger Milch was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant, located near Brussels Square in Cologne, offers first-class Peruvian cuisine. The service was outstanding - attentive, friendly and professional. The creativity that went into every dish made the meal a real treat for the palate. The atmosphere on site was equally remarkable - welcoming, stylish and perfect for social evenings. Overall, I can fully recommend Tiger Milch and look forward to returning again soon!"

Special dishes with friendly service in a pleasant atmosphere. A nice concept is that you can easily share the different aisles. It would have been a little better if all six courses we ordered hadn't come at once, otherwise a very nice visit. When the guest room is full it can get a bit noisy.

A nice restaurant with very good food, friendly service!

Very interesting and great food. Drinks are also very pleasant. It's a nice place to celebrate something or have a wondeful time with friends :)

Best Pisco sour in town! Food is a dream! Service to make you feel good! Love you ❤️

Food took more than an hour, was not worth the wait. Under seasoned and over seasoned at the same time.

My review: RECOMMENDATION....( +75 / 100 )

Great service, absolutely recommended. But unfortunately I didn't see myself in Peru at all when I was eating. I was actually looking forward to a few kitchen comebacks. Everyone interprets it differently

MEGA!! The food and drinks are amazing! The service also leaves nothing to be desired. A little more expensive. But it's absolutely worth it. We had a delicious and very cozy evening with you. Thank you, Team Tigermilk! Addendum (January 2024): I've been here several times now and can only confirm my review: service and food are always excellent!

Very tasty restaurant. We were here on business and tried everything on the menu. Each dish tasted different and each one was special.

Absolute recommendation for a special evening! Something different and really tasty!

Very tasty food & friendly and attentive service. Happy to come back!

Super tasty, the service was great! It wasn't our first time there, but we'll be back :-) I recommend the Basil Smash

Culinary super exciting cuisine. An absolute refreshment because the dishes are very creative and surprising. Definitely try it out, it's worth the money! And the piscos are also the finest 👌

We’ve ordered a lot of dishes (almost the entire menu actually), the food is very good but expensive. The ceviche wasn’t the best, but was good. They have a vegan dessert, which is excellent and they also have vegan and vegetarian options. It was worth it. One observation for the atmosphere: the acoustic inside is awful, we have to speak super loud to hear each other.

The ambience is simple and suitable for the theme. Overall, the topic could be implemented more creatively. Unfortunately the prawn breading for my main course was too salty. The food creations are interesting, but they are not a treat for the palate. It is very unfortunate that the mango chili sauce with the fried chips is too spicy, so that the chili flavor lingers too much. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Overall, unfortunately an average restaurant.

One of the best I've been to in koln.. great flavor and variety of choices

Reserved for 9:15 p.m. - 11:15 p.m., unfortunately arrived a little late at 9:30 p.m., was shown to the table as a greeting and was promptly informed as we walked past that the kitchen had already been closed. Bravo. You heroes. This is how gastronomy works in DE. Not.

If you want to take a trip to Peru and have a new culinary experience, this is the right place for you! Great service, food was great and the atmosphere was nice too.

Cocktails are delicious, but the food is also not authentic, Its characteristic cuisine makes me miss the original Peruvian cuisine, Cebiche Clásico is delicious, tastes like cebiche bought on the street in Lima, on hand. Waiting an hour for food (2 people) is too much.

Ich hatte ein herausragendes Geburtstagsessen. Jede Speise ist mit viel Aufwand und Fingerspitzengefühl zubereitet. Die Kombinationen der Geschmäcker und verschiedenen Konsistenzen hat jedes Gericht einzigartig gemacht. Wir kommen beim nächsten Köln Besuch wieder!

Frisches Essen, freundliche und schnelle Bedienung, mittelmäßige Ambiente. Super leckeres Essen, das neue Geschmacksknospen weckt.

We had 2 ceviches (original & tuna) the Italian eggplant dish and fries, all really nice and would definitely recommend!!

Sehr leckeres Essen, teils traditionell peruanisch aber auch gerne mal mit Fusion Flair. Service war auch top, obwohl der Laden oftmals voll ist. Reservieren lohnt sich!

Sehr leckere Speisen, etwas hochpreisiger. Der Pisco ist sehr empfehlenswert. Das Team kennt sich gut mit Allergenen auf der Karte aus!

Eher etwas für den Sommer aber entführt in einer anderen Welt

Ein Lokal mit einem lockerem Ambiente aber ohne richtigem Flair. Die Bedienung war freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber bzgl. der Getränke nicht immer ganz aufmerksam. Zu Fünft habe wir verschiedene Gerichte bestellt, sowohl kalte, als auch warme. Geschmacklich waren die Gerichte interessant bis gut, aber da die Gerichte rel. klein waren, sind die Preise leider um so höher. Somit muss ich konstatieren, dass das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis absolut nicht stimmt und im Rahmen des spärlichem Ambiente das Restaurant viel zu teuer ist.

Food is amazing. So good we ordered around 6 dishes! Restaurant is quite bare so doesn’t create an atmosphere that you want to be in for long.

Kann mich zu 100% der Bewertung andere anschließen. Es war nur ok, mehr nicht. Das Ambiente ist nicht unbedingt besonders. Peruanisches Restaurant, na ja. Der Laden irgendwie kühl, soll hip wirken, sieht auf der Homepage besser aus. Die Gemütlichkeit fehlt mir absolut und dann diese abgerockten unbequemen Stühlen. Das Essen war ebenfalls nur ok, die Erwartungen waren groß, wurden aber nicht erfüllt. Hervorheben kann ich aber wie es angerichtet wurde, sehr schön fürs Auge. Die Portionen sind klein geraten, die Preise dafür aber ganz schön hoch, da man zum Sattessen mind. zwei Gerichte braucht. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und höflich Und nicht wundern, die Wartezeit bis das Essen kommt liegt locker bei 40 min.oder mehr.

Service war freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war hervorragend, komme gerne wieder!

Es war … ok. Das Ambiente ist ganz nett, aber auch nicht unbedingt besonders, ein Hauch von Peru - ansonsten einfach kühl, klassisch, hip. Die Gemütlichkeit fehlt mir persönlich… Das Essen war ebenfalls ok, die aufgrund der vielen guten Bewertungen erwartete Geschmacksexplosion blieb jedoch aus. Angerichtet wurde allerdings alles sehr appetitlich. Die Maniokpommes waren knusprig, aber relativ trocken und die Saucen ein wenig langweilig. Unterirdisch (sorry!) fand ich diesen seltsamen Süßkartoffel-Brot-Muffin (?), einfach zäh, trocken und den Geschmack der Süßkartoffel suchte ich vergeblich. Die Portionen sind relativ klein geraten, die Preise dafür aber ganz schön saftig. Die Chips, die es am Anfang zur Begrüßung gibt, sind lecker, leider bekamen wir sie aber erst auf Nachfrage. Unser Kellner war irgendwie immer auf dem Sprung. Das Personal war aber grundsätzlich sehr freundlich, vor allem das aus der Küche! Vielleicht lag es am Tag …
