Die besten Restaurants mit Gourmetrestaurant Essen in Köln

First of all: the food and the dishes were really very good, there is little to complain about, except that the portions could have been a tiny bit bigger. Unfortunately, the service and the drinks were average at best. It started with the drinks order getting mixed up at the aperitif - it can always happen, but then at this level I would expect them to say "sorry, we'll correct it". Instead, it got a little uncomfortable for a moment and we took the wrong order. The empty aperitif glasses were still on the table until the second course. There was a very tasty greeting from the kitchen at the beginning - here too, the plates and leftovers were still on the table until the third course, and were not cleared away. Then on to the wine accompaniment: here the wines were sometimes only served after the respective course, and they were not really matched to the food either. We had half and half with and without alcohol. Here, too, the agreed order was not adhered to. An even bigger flop was the purely alcohol-free accompaniment. While other restaurants of this level (NeoBiota, Sahila etc.) offer creative alternatives, here the same non-alcoholic wine was served three times in a row. That was really disappointing for the price. Overall, the staff were very nice, but unfortunately not really attentive. Even when I asked questions about the food, they could only read out what was on the menu. There was no background information on the dishes. I did think it was very good, however, that there was a shot on the house at the end of the evening. It was a nice gesture! Overall 3/5 stars - but there is definitely potential for more here.

We were able to enjoy the 7 course menu with wine accompaniment. First of all, I have to say, we love good food and like to eat out a lot. Personally, fine dining is not my first choice, as there is often more “appearance than reality” behind it. However, I have to say that both the food, wine and service were fantastic. A trip around the world wasn't too promising. A wonderful chef who cooks with a lot of love and passion. In short, my expectations were far exceeded. A fantastic restaurant for special evenings.

As always, despite the star, a relaxed atmosphere. Very nice service, very tasty food at reasonable prices.

We really enjoyed our visit on December 14th.

Der lockere Dreier ist ein super Abend für uns gewesen, wir waren hoch zufrieden, insbesondere mit dem tollen Gemüse-Nachtisch!

Ein geniales Menü, ein Erlebnis. Danke an das Team

For a long time I struggled with writing a relatively critical review because I didn't want to diminish the extreme work that goes into the kitchen. I had the vegetarian menu with a non-alcoholic drink accompaniment, which was quite appropriate and gives the whole thing plus points. However, the menu was disappointing. Ingredients, technique and presentation were undoubtedly first class. However, there were no interesting highlights in terms of taste. Mushroom terrine, green and white asparagus in successive courses, morel stuffed with potatoes (?), everything was just 'okay'. Our table service tried to appear as professional as possible, but as a result came across as incongruously stiff and awkward without displaying the appropriate level of professionalism. Attention was shown by a constant, obligatory, somewhat penetrating "Are you okay?" At the same time, several drinks were spilled and a glass was knocked over on the table and shattered. It can happen, but it also spoils the overall picture of an evening. Given the many positive reviews, we may have simply had a bad day, but my expectations, as well as those of my companion, were clearly exceeded.

We felt super comfortable. A really nice evening.

Fantastic dining experience. Very pleasant, calm atmosphere, top dishes and relaxed, friendly, professional service. Thanks everyone, we'll be back!

Is highly recommended, the food was great. Service 1a, we will recommend it to our friends. That wasn't the last time. We come from Aachen.
