    A moderate-sized restaurant in downtown Koln. Huge menu, excellent wait staff (they were literally…read morerunning all night!) They actually changed waiters to one who spoke perfect English when we idiot american tourists couldn't make ourselves understood by the first guy. EXCELLENT food (the salmon in cream sauce with mushrooms and scallops was the best entre I had on my whole two week trip across N. Europe.). All three of us had similarly great meals. And good prices. Definitely worth a visit guys!

    Dined on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm and had no issues finding a table for 2. Warm bread,…read moregarlic butter, and olives were brought to the table after ordering. Nice start to the meal! FYI, they don't have wifi and the 1st menu we got was for a typical meal (appetizers, entrees, dessert, etc). We separately asked for the tapas menu. Our waiter spoke English, Spanish, and German equally well and their website is in English as well. There also seems to be a separate smaller restaurant next to it...this review is for the main restaurant on the corner. We ordered bacon wrapped dates, octopus salad, and a shrimp dish from the tapas menu. All were outstanding. We also ordered a bottle of rose and fish & seafood paella. Fish & seafood were cooked pretty well but the rice was a bit soft for my liking and lacked flavor. However, the paella portion size could easily serve 4. Overall, a very good meal with great service and competitively priced. Would recommend.

    We were invited to dinner here by a local who happens to know the owner and it was fabulous. It's…read morenot like you get in Spain but for Germany very good. The owner came around and just let us taste a few wines before we settled for a bottle and basically told us that food would just arrive and we should just let him know when we are full. As a result I have no idea what's on their menu :-) but whatever arrived was good and made well. The flavours were pretty good and I enjoyed all of it. I just wish the Patatas bravas came with the rich tomato sauce as, this one did not and it was a bit dry. The rest was great. Food arrived quickly and we were seated in the cellar which was very nice and beautiful. It's a gorgeous old building and cozy and warm restaurant. The service was excellent and they were super friendly and let us hang around for ages after the place was closed. Would happily come here again anytime. It was great food with great service and nice tapas.

    Visited this restaurant with a party of four. The restaurant interior is beautiful and the chairs…read moreand tables are comfortable. The garden looks absolutely amazing though we enjoyed our stay inside as it was pretty cold already. Service was impeccable with the friendly owner and another waiter checking in regularly. We were offered to taste a wide selection of wines prior to ordering our food and the selection was both original and interesting with a wide variety of styles and types. We ordered the "Tapas Platte" for four which was served within 10 minutes or so, with cold starters including different meats and hams, fine cheese as well as green and black olives, fine bread with dip and freshly cut greens. After finishing the cold tapas we were served the hot tapas, all in their own little bowls and most of them coming with their own appropriate sauces and dips. Every single selection of tapas tasted amazing, fresh out of the oven. Full flavored, beautiful textures, cooked perfectly to the spot and all fresh ingredients. Bread was refilled promptly and we were cared for by the staff exceptionally well. One can feel the love and dedication the owners put into all aspects of this restaurant and I feel lucky to have found this true gem, especially considering that Linz is a bit of a tourist trap. Highly recommended and worth a stop if you're passing through. We will definitely be coming back regularly.
