The chef and staff came to chat with us and it was so lovely learning more about the restaurant and the area. Lovely place for dinner or lunch. (and dessert was amazing!) I will definitely be coming back when I'm feeling homesick and wanting a taste of home.

Everything about this place is well done - Malinas knows what it's doing!…read more I went here for a birthday dinner and it was a great choice, from the food to the ambiance to the service. Malinas specializes in Silesian food, which is a specific part of Poland with lots of German influence. The concept is on the higher end, so be prepared to spend 20 EUR per person. I hardly ever see this kind of food in a fancier atmosphere, so the price is justified. I had to try their homemade pierogi and went with the Maria (14.90 EUR): Pierogi stuffed with goat cheese, basil, arugula, homemade walnut pesto, topped with peanuts, walnuts and garlic butter asparagus. Um, my mouth is watering just writing these ingredients! Each bite had a delicious combo of chewy dumpling, cheesy filling and crunchy nuts. It's a modern take on piergoi, but still incredibly satisfying and tasty. I also had a bite of the more traditional meat piregoi (Mama Eugenia, 11.90 EUR) and these were excellent too. For drinks, you have to go with Tyskie (4 EUR for .50 L), the best beer from the Silesia region. They also have a cocktail menu that looked quite good. For something non-alcoholic, they have a special drink menu with fancy fruit drinks. I went with the Rhubarb Strawberry soda with fresh mint & strawberry (3.30 EUR), YUM. Besides the good food, the interior is super cool. It's definitely young but still a place that families can enjoy. The servers were nice too, more smiles & chattiness than the norm for sure. Lovely experience overall and a wonderful place to celebrate / take guests / go randomly to fill up on fancy pierogi!

Licht und Schatten Irgendwie schon ein Kneipe mit…read moreAtmosphäre, was auch an der netten Inhaberin und den ebenso netten Bedienungen liegt. An den Tischen auf der Straße oder hinten im Biergarten sitze ich gerne. Hier gibt es immer was zu gucken und zu hören :) Positiv ist auch, dass hier Fußballspiele gezeigt werden, besonders auch die des 1. FC Köln. Da kommt dann richtig Stimmung auf. Was meines Erachtens gar nicht geht, ist leider das Essen. Es ist - man muss es so hart formulieren - ein Totalausfall. Deshalb gibt es auch nur zwei Sterne. Es ist so schade, dass in dieser an sich netten Kneipe, so nachlässig damit umgegangen wird ...

Won't spend too much on this review but I dined at this authentic looking pub with colleagues this…read moreweek as out-of-towers attending the MEDICA conference in Düsseldorf. This had high ratings so obviously as the American savvy foodie, I took to yelp to get the key of the land. The best aspects of this bar is the decor, a lot of locals so you feel immersed in small town Germany culture. The local beer gaffel kolsch is pretty much the go to beer and is delightfully fresh light and the right amount of malt/hops ratio. This is a special brew local to cologne so try it out. Unfortunately I can't add stars because this place didn't produce the brew. So food.... I'm just going to say it is subpar to standard pub fare and would not come back unless I was a drunk mess.
