You can only eat what you bring as food and drink, like a picnic. There is no business inside. It is a very peaceful, quiet, magnificent park where people move freely. It is right in the middle of the district.
We were impressed by the store and the experience as well as the cuisine. We enjoyed all the dishes very much and the service was friendly, courteous and attentive.
It started with us having to wait forever for the waiter. He kept walking past us without acknowledging us. (We were sitting outside.) It wasn't very busy either, so he could have easily asked us what we wanted to drink.
There were three of us, and two of us wanted a bite to eat. So we ordered a small Coke Zero, two large Coke Zeros, and two currywurst fries with mayo.
If you look at the prices on the website, you'd think we paid around €34. But it was ten euros more. The prices vary enormously from the website, and the Coke is totally outrageous. A large glass of Coke cost €6.20.
The food was okay. Nothing special, and not at all nicely presented. When you sit outside, you constantly get the smell of Cologne wafting around your nose. Unfortunately, that's not very pleasant. If you go to the restroom, you can only enter if you pay €0.50. The fact that a guest who pays €6.20 for a Coke also has to pay €0.50 for the restroom is truly below the belt. I can understand asking people who come in from outside to use the restroom to check out, but ripping off your own guests is truly cheeky.
One of the waiters who served us didn't even speak a word of German. I think you should be able to speak the bare minimum.
All in all, I would definitely not recommend this place.
It was supposed to be a Spanish evening with Spanish music. I really liked the music. Unfortunately that evening the menu was very slimmed down and very overpriced. For a cost of 140 euros (2 people) I expected more. I wouldn't go to this restaurant again.
The ambiance is very nice – and my food was very good – they don't accept card payments here! But they found a solution 😂🙈
A lovely spot to enjoy a drink or good food on the Rhine!
Endlich wieder eine anspruchsvolle Adresse für gutes, gesundes Essen neben diesen ganzen "Teig"geschichten, italienischen Restaurants etc.
Nette und sich kümmernde Bedienung, die menschlich im Kontakt war.
Ein tröstender Ersatz für das ehemalige Café Stanton an ungefähr dem gleichen Standort, das ich seeeehr ! vermisse.
Und jetzt bemerke ich, dass es schon wieder geschlossen hat :( ???
Und an dieser Stelle das X-te italienische Restaurant :/ ???
Sehr bedauerlich . . . und leider ein Zeichen für das hauptsächliche Niveau in Köln.
I'm here at least once a month. The cuisine is very good and the prices are reasonable. Card payment possible and the service is again at a high level (attentive).
Now I just went to the place where I worked two years ago and Hasiye's Restaurant. That can't happen. I have visited many countries in Germany, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Romania. Bulgaria's Macedonia. I've traveled around and have never seen a clean man like this.
The food is ok. It really bothers me that there is so much rubbish everywhere outside, and that's why I have the impression that the owners of the Pizza Arena don't care about cleanliness because they don't do anything about the rubbish. Sure, picking up trash is a daily occurrence because so many people drop everything, but it's also clean again every day.
Grab a quick bite to eat before visiting the Lanzess Arena. 2x currywurst fries and a drink for about €20, a reasonable price. But a little tip to the operator: let the fries sizzle a little longer and then they'll be done. Otherwise great
Dear Lichterfeld team, if there were more than 5 stars, we would take them too. We were in great hands with you for our wedding celebration. In addition to the open exchange during the preparation, we were also in great hands on the day itself. The food was great, the team was super friendly and very helpful and the atmosphere was simply perfect. Definitely worth recommending. Thanks so much!
