Tio Pepe Bar & Restaurant in Bonn

We were totally thrilled and visited the Tio Pepe in Bonn twice in a very short space of time. The Spanish restaurant not only impresses with its extremely friendly staff, but also with culinary delicacies that are prepared with a lot of love and dedication and taste excellent. The furnishings are very nice and invite you to linger comfortably in the original Spanish ambience. For us, Tio Pepe in Bonn is the best Spanish restaurant in the city and is even one of the ten best restaurants in Bonn. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for your hospitality!

Super cozy atmosphere, great service, you feel very comfortable. Went there for a birthday and everything was very good. The different tapas offer a large selection, as a vegetarian I had many dishes/tapas that left me happy and full. The martini cocktails were perfectly mixed together. I'd love to come back :)

On the recommendation of a friend, we tried Tio Pepe in Bonn. The service was attentive, friendly, courteous and quick. The tapas were very tasty, the freshly tapped Peters Kölsch rounded everything off :) Tapas for 2 people with drinks cost us just under €90 and we went home full and satisfied.

Very tasty food, cozy restaurant, friendly and fast service

Very tasty tapas in a wonderful atmosphere with very friendly staff. Always beautiful.

The food was not good, the staff of the restaurant is rude and doesn't accept feedback. The place is well located but other than that I'm not recommending it and suggest the team takes a customer service course

Very tasty food and a great team.

Tio Pepe is my absolute favorite restaurant in Bonn! The Spanish dishes are authentic and always freshly prepared - you can simply taste the quality. The service is super friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting. If you're looking for real Spanish food, you should definitely stop by here. I can only warmly recommend it!

If you like tapas, this is the place for you. Grilled food is also available here.

The best restaurant if you are looking for tapas 😍 extraordinary home made sangria and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended 😃

An absolutely fantastic experience at Tio Pepe in Bonn! The authentic Spanish cuisine is simply delicious, especially the tapas are to die for. The service was super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. You really feel like you're in Spain! The homemade sangria is particularly recommended. We'll definitely be back! Muchas gracias, Tio Pepe!

AVOID! My friend made a reservation for 15 people here for her birthday. Overall, things were going well until a friend got a plate of grilled shrimp she said were not good (like rotten) and she asked the waiter to change them, the waiter came back and said that the chef said they were okay, she said no they are not. The chef/manager came to the table and served the shrimps on her face and said “they are okay, AND YOU ARE GONNA EAT THEM!”. My partner also got a big curly hair inside his tortilla and notified the waiter, he didn’t receive not even a sorry. He later notified the chef and this tortilla wasn’t charged after reminding it was not good. A friend baked a cake and we intended to have it at the restaurant, but the manager picked up all the plates and cutlery as soon as he realized we would have the cake after the food. We later kindly asked for plates again and the manager said he would not serve us anymore, not the plates, not the cutlery, not more drinks or food, he wanted us out. The manager then just stared at us for 10 minutes with a serious face expecting us to pay and leave. We felt absolutely horrible, how can someone ruin a birthday and treat their customers like a nuance? The rest of the food was barely okay, nothing like the Spanish original style. The experience we had is enough for all of us to never come back to this place again. They don’t deserve the people’s money. I’m still mind blown. If a customer kindly tells you that a shrimp is bitter and not good, the last thing you should do is serve it again and DEMAND them to eat it 🤯

The service was really bad. The owner treat us really bad when we told them the food had hair on it and the prawns were not good. We felt we were treated bad and the food wasn’t good.

Terrible service! I have seen some bad reviews that also mention this bald man, who might be the owner? He was really rude and ruined my friends birthday

Dry potato omelet, patatas bravas that were not patatas bravas, bad service. We found a hair on the plate and they didn't even apologize.

Very good Spanish restaurant in Bonn

The worst place I’ve been in Bonn! Very bad service. Zero customer driven. I don’t recommend it at all.

My favorite restaurant. Very tasty tapas, 3 types of sangria, and opposite Beethoven's baptismal church. Staff always very nice.

We had a surprisingly lovely evening, in the best sense of the word! We experienced pleasant hospitality, attentive service without intrusiveness and authentic cuisine, fresh and tasty! A perhaps lesser-known, beautiful piece of Spain in Bonn…

Very tasty food and friendly service. I deducted one star from the service because the last dish was served when the first dish had already been eaten. So it was not possible to enjoy things together.

Wir gehen öfter ins Tio Pepe, weil man draußen sehr schön sitzt und weil die Tapas lecker sind. Leider wurden wir bei unserem letzten Besuch sehr enttäuscht- der Service, besonders die weibliche Bedienung, war sehr unfreundlich und überhaupt nicht herzlich oder entgegenkommend. So schnell werden wir nicht wieder zu Tio Pepe gehen!

Very good tapas, nice service, we were very satisfied

Good food, very friendly service.

Service friendly, good location, food tasty and prices okay. We will be back!

Very good service, delicious tapas!!! A bit of Spanish lightness in the middle of Bonn.

Open your eyes, right in the middle of our beautiful Bonn Brüdergasse, there is the best Spaniard. Soooo delicious tapas, great wine and great service. Thank you for the wonderful time.

The food was extremely authentic if you know Spanish cuisine and love Mediterranean food. A variety of small delicacies ensure a special taste experience. The ambience is of course good average in terms of construction and environment.

Popped in for a drink, ended up 8 people having a fabulous meal, which was fabulous. We shared 12 tapas between us, with bread olives (which were superb). Very friendly staff. Highly recommended by all of us.

We went here for dinner with a smaller group and we all loved it. Great atmosphere and very tasty tapas and steaks

I had dinner at this restaurant, and ordered a combination of various Tapas plates. The food was great, I liked it very much. Specially, fried Calamari. Besides, the cocktails were very well-made and exactly as I was expecting. The staff were also very nice and friendly, which in general made my time there very enjoyable.

Yesterday we were guests there with 9 people and it was just great. The service is special because it is very multicultural and that is what makes it so charming. A great example of a great time together. The quality of the food was also absolutely convincing and rounded everything off. Thank you to the team and see you soon.

Very tasty tapas, friendly service, what more could you want? Definitely highly recommended.

Best waiter in the world Excellent steaks and tapas

Desaconselhável. Fui com uma colega de trabalho, também estrangeira. Pedimos algumas tapas, conforme anunciado pela casa. Não são ruins, mas jamais poderiam ter uma avaliação boa. Problema. Mau atendimento. Um garçon (espanhol) fazendo o possível para ser agradável, mas um outro, aparentemente o dono ou gerente, desde a nossa chegada, com mau humor e falta de atenção. Mas o problema foi mesmo ao pedir a conta e pagar. Novamente, toda a atenção do garçom, até que entra em cena o “dono”. Grosseiro, começa por não aceitar nenhum cartão, DÉBITO em moeda local, Euros, ou crédito. Somente cash. Isso, quase aos gritos. Como éramos duas pessoas, pedimos então a conta dividida em duas partes, com pagamento em dinheiro. Novamente, negativo. Para dividir a conta é necessário avisar ao chegar. Ou seja, a casa deveria ter avisos de que não aceita cartões e que contas repartidas devem ser avisadas antes de sermos servidos. Para finalizar, fomos destratados, pagamos em dinheiro e saímos com uma só conta. Isso após calorosa discussão e quase vias de fato. Em tempo: o dono ou algo parecido é imigrante, sem interessar de onde. Aviso: se não quiserem estragar a sua noite, não optem pelo “Tio Pepe”. Há muitos restaurantes vizinhos, mas infelizmente caímos nesse. Quase agredidos fisicamente.

Finally a Spanish restaurant with really authentic food like in Spain. We had contact with various employees and everyone was very attentive and friendly. The food was ALL very good, the Spanish wines available were well selected. Muchas gracias por todo! 😉👍👍👍

Food, service, perfect, you really get something for the money. Very friendly and personal!

Very great restaurant in the heart of Bonn. The service was very good and attentive. Tapas were super tasty. The next time we visit Bonn... we'll be guests again!

Absolutely not recommended! Were there with 4 people on Saturday at 6 p.m. First we had to wait 15 minutes, the restaurant was full (understandable on the weekend in sunny weather). Meanwhile, other guests (who arrived after us) were all seated at tables beforehand. After I objectively expressed our displeasure, we were insulted and rudely expelled from the house (bald man, around 50 years old, probably boss)! Apparently this restaurant doesn't need well-paying guests! Unbelievable, shameful, never again! 1 star is clearly too much!

Absolut nicht zu empfehlen! Waren mit 4 Pers.am Sa.um 18 Uhr vor Ort. Zunächst durften wir 15min.warten, das Restaurant war voll (verständlich am Wochenende bei sonnigem Wetter). Während dessen wurden jedoch weitere Gäste (die nach uns erschienen) alle zuvor an Tische gesetzt (ohne Reservierung). Nachdem ich sachlich unseren Unmut vortrug, wurden wir beleidigt und unfreundlich des Hauses verwiesen (Mann mit Glatze, ca.50 Jahre, vermutlich Chef)! Scheinbar hat dieses Restaurant keine gut zahlenden Gäste nötig!Unfassbar, beschämend, nie wieder! 1 Stern ist deutlich zu viel!

The food was very good, but there was not enough service for the number of guests

Very tasty food in a Spanish-inspired atmosphere. You can also eat outside. Very nice staff.

Very good food, fast service, nice place and very clean.

Very busy, so can't knock the waiting time. The food was worth the wait, really nice, flavoursome and fresh. A definite if you're near 👍

Very tasty, cool host, nice atmosphere! Good sangria :)

I loved the restaurant, good food 🤤 good service and the restaurant is very nice. 😍 I recommend it and I will return!!😀

Great ambience with great service. Highly recommended!

A very special place. Highly Recommended! Very good tapas, attentive service.

Just wow! If you are looking for delicious tapas in Bonn and the surrounding area, you will find them here. We were very satisfied overall. The quality was like in Spain. Great atmosphere and friendly service. We will be back. Thanks!

We were there spontaneously on a Saturday evening and asked for a table. After a short wait we actually got another one. From the outside the store looks very inconspicuous. Totally cozy and beautifully furnished inside. The food and drinks are a delight. Everything perfectly seasoned. The bread was fresh and the olives were also a taste experience. The service was very friendly and not intrusive, which we found very pleasant. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Rarely have we had such delicious tapas, extremely friendly service. To feel good

For the first time and definitely not the last time in this great restaurant. Service excellent. Pleasant atmosphere. Beautifully furnished, modern furniture that gives a fitting Mediterranean impression. San Miguel on tap!!

Meat skewers are good, small lamb chops are outstanding. Albondigas perfect. Actually all of the tapas were convincing. Service was almost consistently top, with one glaring exception. Without being asked and without any context, we were informed several times about the “FRG dictatorship”. Maybe it's better to just leave private conspiracy theories at home and everything will be fine.

The agreed reservation was not kept. Instead we were asked to wait until our table became available. The group that previously sat down at our table (despite the “reserved” sign) was “gently” asked to “release” the table promptly. Unfortunately, the above group of people didn't care. The table was therefore still occupied and the above-mentioned group of people continued to be served while sitting at our table. After about 15 minutes of waiting, the "head waiter" on duty then graciously deigned to offer us a - comparatively small - replacement table, which luckily just became free;...until the above-mentioned "group of people" reached our table would “give free”. However, the above-mentioned "group of people" continued to be served benevolently at our table, while we (5 people) continued to have to sit at the "substitute table" - some of them sitting in the middle of the aisle. When asked whether one drink per person would be on the house, since we would obviously no longer have the opportunity to sit at the table we had originally reserved that evening, the waiter reprimanded: "If you ask for something, you won't get anything. " Conclusion: You can't feel comfortable in a restaurant where waiters think they are allowed to "educate" their above-average patient/benevolent customers. In addition: There was no corresponding apology from the restaurant regarding the unsuccessful reservation. Instead, questions arise regarding the lack of assertiveness of the “service management”. The service management was clearly unable to assert itself against the above-mentioned group of people occupying our tables. Weak. This Spaniard is definitely not recommended. (The food is also just average in terms of value for money). In short: Failed: Ciao Pepe ciao.

We were satisfied with everything. The lamb chops and steak were also very tasty. The staff is very nice and the waitress is beautiful. Thank you for the experience.

Cool bar We stuck with the starters, perfect. Gladly again

We spontaneously went there on a Saturday evening and had dinner. The restaurant is open until midnight, unfortunately the kitchen was closed at 9:45 p.m. The staff was very friendly and gave us a recommendation for an open restaurant in the area. It's a shame about the closed kitchen, as it's a restaurant and not a bar.

Everything is right here: nice welcome, friendly service, VERY!! delicious tapas.👍👍

Everything was fine, I'd love to come back more often...

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe zur Weihnachtsfeier im Restaurant. Es gab verschiedene Tapas welche nacheinander aufgetischt wurden. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Portionen ausreichend groß. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Auf Getränke mussten wir nie lange warten. Dies war mein erster Besuch in diesem Restaurant. Aber sicherlich nicht mein letzter. Klare Empfehlung!

Super leckere Tapas. Sehr freundlicher Servive. Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet. Immer frisch und hält seit Jahren die Qualität hoch. Die besten Tapas weit und breit. Aioli und die Oliven habe ich nirgendwo leckerer gegessen. Auch die Gambas und Oktopus sind sehr zu empfehlen. Isst man Fleisch, ist es butterweich. Sehr lecker und wunderschönes Ambiente.

Sehr positiv überrascht! Toller Empfang mit sehr nettem weiblichen Service. Obwohl man schon mehrfach Tapas gegessen hat, war hier alles bestellte etwas besser als man es kannte. Toll!!!

Richtig leckere Tapas, freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Ein richtig toller Abend hier. Gerne wieder, wenn man mal wieder in Bonn ist.

Sehr gutes spanisches Restaurant Waren mit 12 Personen dort und alle waren zufrieden. Liegt mitten in der Bonner Fußgängerzone. Sehr gutes Ambiente toll eingerichtet. Etwas hochpreisig aber dafür gute Kundschaft.

Leider Abzocke. Wir waren mit 7 Personen zum ersten Mal in diesem Restaurant. Wir bestellten neben diversen Tapas zur Vorspeise Brot mit Ölivenöl (das nichtaufderKarte stand). Die Tapas waren soweit gut, aber nichts Besonderes. Beim Bezahlen kam dann die große Überraschung. Für ein paar Scheiben Brot mit ein paar Esslöffel Öliivenöl wurden uns 9,20 € in Rechnung gestellt. Wir hatten insgesamt 3 x Öliivenöl bestellt. Somit wurde aus einer einfachen Vorspeise eine völlig überzogene Angelegenheit. Auf Nachfrage, weshalb das Öliivenöl so teuer berechnet wurde, erhielten wir die Antwort, dass 1 Liter Öl im Einkauf 33 Euro kostet. Wir können daher dieses Restaurant nicht weiterempfehlen.

Welch‘ angenehme „spanische“ Überraschung im Zentrum. Alle sechs Tapas waren frisch und schmeckten sehr gut. Dazu ein San Miguel vom Fass. Lecker! Das sehr freundliche Personal bot aufmerksam einen Top-Service. Preis-Leistung völlig okay. Unser spontaner und erstmaliger Besuch bleibt nicht der letzte. Wir kommen wieder.

Wir sind ganz spontan am Dienstag Abend dort gewesen und wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Wir waren schon lange nicht mehr so gut Essen gewesen. Unsere Bedienung war wirklich freundlich und aufmerksam (Bedienung 6 😉). Alles war super frisch und mega lecker. Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Abend (an Tisch 5 😊) und bedanken uns ganz herzlich. Wir kommen wieder.

Alles sehr perfekt. Timur ist ein sehr netter Kellner, wir kommen wieder.

Bester Spanier Ever 🤩einfach nur lecker und wunderbar! Preise völlig angemessen .Tisch reservieren sinnvoll 👍🥰

Leckere Tapas, leckeres Essen 😋 und super liebes Personal. Wir kommen gerne wieder. 🤗

Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, die Tapas waren lecker und kamen schnell an und der Nachtisch (Creme Catalana) hat auch richtig gut geschmeckt. Allein die Musik war etwas zu laut für Unterhaltungen in normaler Lautstärke.

Faire Preise und sehr leckere Tappas 😋

Wir sind durch Zufall hier herein und hatten Glück auch ohne Reservierung einen Tisch zu bekommen. Wir haben hervorragend gegessen und einen sehr schönen Abend hier verbracht. Bei unserem nächsten Bonn-Besuch werden wir bestimmt erneut hier essen gehen.

Super Essen, toller Service immer wieder gerne. Alles perfekt. Hätte auch mehr als 5 Sterne gegeben.

Essen war sehr lecker, die verarbeiteten Produkte sind hochwertig, Personal sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre ist sehr angenehm. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend, vielen Dank 😊

Super Abend gehabt. Toller Service, tolle Mitarbeiter und absolut spitzen Essen. Immer wieder gerne.

Wir gegen hier super gerne hin. Sehr viel Auswahl, freundlicher Service und netter Chef. Meinet Mrinung nach der beste in Bonn.

Unverständliche Reaktion auf unmögliche Wartezeiten!!!! Nachdem meine Frau eine halbe Stunde auf Ihr Essen gewartet hat, ( meins stand so lange schon auf dem Tisch )welches offensichtlich vergessen wurde, habe ich mein mittlerweile angefangenes und kalt gewordenes Essen zurückgegeben. Als dann das Gericht meiner Frau auch endlich fertig war, wurde es dann mit meinem aufgewärmten Essen serviert. Unglücklich bei Lammkoteletts die nicht besser werden nach zweimaligem braten. Die Aussage des Inhabers, er habe ja seine Pflicht getan war für mich als selbständiger Dienstleister mehr als befremdlich. Brauchen wir dann nicht nochmal!!!!P.S. Die Bedienung war nett, aber überfordert.

The owner is extremely rude and hostile. Our friend had his Vitamin-C medicine mix on the table to drink after the dinner - even though we all ordered food, soft drinks and alcohol the owner insisted that we remove the drink from the table. After arguing with us for ten minutes, we decided to leave the place and cancelled all orders. Very weird owner that doesn’t care about customer satisfaction or has no idea of communications. Never again!

This place is the best spanish restaurant in Bonn. Good food, awesome staff. I go there everytime i am in town love this place.

Ein wirklich schönes nettes Restaurant in Bonn. sehr schön bunt und mit Liebe zum Detail inneneingerichtet. Also eine super Atmosphäre. Das Essen und die Cocktails sind sehr lecker und der Service freundlich. … Top Spanier in Bonn 👌🏼🤌

Very nice tapas with friendly and prompt service in English. Everything was so tasty

Best Tapas in Bonn! The white Rioja House wine is also very good. I especially recommend the seafood Tapas such as Calamari, Mussels and Squid as well as the Jamón and marinated olives.

Lieblingsspanier! Das Essen ist der Hammer und der Service ist immer sehr zuvorkommend und höflich! Komme regelmäßig und das wird sich auch nicht ändern! Klare 5/5

Wir lieben diesen Spanier und kommen gerne regelmäßig her ☺️ Das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker. Und alle sehr freundlich. Absolut top

Surprisingly empty on a Saturday night. We shared a bunch of Tapas. We especially liked the ones with meat. Those were the best we've tried in Bonn so far.

Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Kenne viele „Spanier“ rings um Bonn. Preise etwas darüber, aber hohe Qualität. Alle üblichen Gerichte die es auch woanders gibt, sind hier ein Ticken besser. Danke dafür und vor allem an die hervorragende Bedienung von der freundlichen Kellnerin am heutigen Abend. Das mach viel aus. Grüße CH

Tolles Restaurant mit leckerem Essen, mitten in der Innenstadt. Ich komme immer wieder gerne hier hin.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Die Getränke kamen sehr zügig und das Essen auch. Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber ich hatte schon bessere Tapas... Das Brot mit dem Aufstrich war köstlich, der Rest aber etwas fad und trocken.

Das Tio Pepe hat absolut 5 Sterne verdient! Es stimmt einfach alles hier in dem Lokal. Sowohl das Essen als auch die Qualität sind top. Die Atmosphäre war richtig schön, obwohl es brechend voll war auf der Terrasse, hatte man seine "Ruhe". So stellt man sich einen Besuch beim Spanier vor. Die Auswahl der Speisekarte ist vollkommen ausreichend und jeder kommt auf seine Kosten. Was ich jedem Fleischliebhaber empfehlen kann sind die Steaks! Immer ein Genuss! Auch der Service war jedesmal zuvorkommend, freundlich und aufmerksam. Das es mal zu Wartezeiten kommen kann, wenn so so voll ist, ist total legitim und absolut verständlich. Also wenn Spanier in Bonn dann, auf jedefall ins Tio Pepe 🤗 Freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal!

I had drinks with a friend there, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe there.

Keine der Tappas hat in irgendeiner Form eine Geschmacksexplosion ausgelöst. Absoluter Standard - wirklich nichts besonderes. Klassich Convenience Food. Wir mussten uns auch oft bemerkbar machen, um Getränke zu bekommen. Sonderlich Aufmerksam war die Kellnerin nicht. Die zwei Sterne kommen, ob dem Flair in der Stadt draußen zu sitzen, zusammen. Rein vom Essen her, wären es nur ein Stern.

Sehr lecker und netter Service!

It is well known Spanish restaurant in Bonn. We come here every time we are in Bonn. They have very tasty, nicely cooked and served food. Portions are big enough. We took a tapas to share. Absolutely must try are pimientos de padron and octopus la plancha. The staff is very kind. By the way, I’m posting a picture of shot they have kindly offered us. Really nice place to be. p.s. We have realized on the next day, that we were ripped off. We have paid 60 euros per person for the tapas. when we counted, we realized that the prices on the menu did not match what we paid. We've been sliced off. Be mindful.

Sehr sehr lecker. Freundlicher Service und gute Preise. Schönes Ambiente.

Ganz spontan am Samstag Abend einen Platz bekommen...Essen war sehr lecker und obwohl das Restaurant richtig voll war, nicht zu lange gewartet. Personal freundlich,schnell und nicht aufdringlich...wir werden nochmal dort hingehen

Gemütliches Tapas-Restaurant an der St. Remigius Kirche. Der Besuch bei "Tio Pepe" war ein wirklich gemütlicher und kulinarischer Abend mit mehreren Leuten. Da das Prinzip auf Tapas ausgelegt ist, empfiehlt es sich mit mehreren Leute essen zu gehen und es sich dann auch preistechnisch lohnt. Das Essen war authentisch genug und lecker. Die Bedienung war zwar etwas gestresst da es an einem Samstag gut voll werden kann, aber war äußerst freundlich und hat uns aufs Haus eine Runde katalanischen Schnaps spendiert. Das Ambiente ist ganz nett, besonders draußen und gerade wenn es Sommer wird eine große Empfehlung, da man direkt auf die schöne Kirche neben an schauen kann.

Personal mega freundlich und lustig. Tapas wie in Spanien und die Getränke der Hammer. Wir waren echt begeistert von dem schönen Abend!

Tolles Essen uns super Service.

8/9 tapas were great. a bit too much mayo on potatoes. overall nice place
