味道还不错，但是称不上经典。 品尝了两种啤酒，啤酒不错。还有炸猪排，但是炸猪排只能说是一般水平吧，和国内正新鸡排都不能拉齐了比，但是考虑到是在德国，还行吧 啤酒价格美丽，200ml的2.4欧一倍，500ml大杯的5.7欧，猪排19.8欧，总共花费接近29欧。 read more

First place me and the bruv stopped for a meal in Germany and it absolutely slapped. Much needed after a long journey. I got the best and first schnitzel of my life and I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a complete game changer. Crispy as you like with that creamy peppercorn gravy poured over top. I had a side of chips that soaked it up perfectly. Could have shed a tear right there at the table. Washed it down with five Kölsch on the spot. Ended up drinking about thirty throughout the day while walking around the city like a legend. Started early and never let off the gas. This meal brought me back to life. I went full animal mode until 3 in the morning and honestly I blame the schnitzel. Right place. Right time. Right pint. Quality food. Prime location. Germany, you've set the bar. read more

We popped in for a lunch after a morning of touring! We found the ambience to be your typical German brewhouse and restaurant. Restrooms were clean and easy to find. Our food was delicious. There were no complaints at all! The potatoes are absolutely to die for. Strongly recommend the Wiener schnitzel and bratwurst. The potato latkes with applesauce were also equally delicious. Oh, and how can I forget the beer! The coast just keeps flowing! We would definitely return. We were very pleased with the service as well. read more

Tasty, authentic German meal in Koln! The Pork knuckle is a must try while you're visiting at least once and the schnitzel was the crispiest I've had. The gravy had so much flavor and the Kolsch was fantastic. It's such a fun environment to hang out and enjoy drinks with friends and watch the game, or grab dinner. Our server was also very helpful and gave her recommendations. If we plan another trip, we will be back. read more

Warning! Vorsict! We had lunch here which is your standard German fare.I ordered the sausage with potatoes which was decent, potatoes were dry. There are so many restaurants on the square, I would definitely seek those out and avoid this restaurant. Service was ok. Beware of the older lady with the pony tail. I read a review and I didn't pay heed to his warning. She took my credit card and then asked me for a PIN number. I told her it was a credit card, she said it needed a pin. So I gave her another credit card same thing. Then we had to go inside with a debit card and pin. The whole thing seemed very sinister. Are they stealing pins? After I stopped at a shop and bought water with my card and no pin needed. In fact this is the first time in all my travels to Europe that I needed a pin for a credit card. Something crooked is happening here, Beware Vorsicht!! I went back to hotel and canceled all the cards I used here. I never write reviews and would usually not write a bad one but I felt my duty to warn people. Please let's this be a warning for future travelers, don't come here!! read more

We arrived during rush dinner hours, however we were immediately greeted and seated outside. The waiter was prompt yet seemed overwhelmed, if he saw we have too many questions he's say he'll come back in a few minutes. Fear not he always came right on time. We got 4 Venne schnitzel that came out in less than 10 minutes. These were perfectly cooked, tender and the right amount of seasoning. One of them had a mushroom sauce that was again super tasty, not too salty and a nice addition to the meal! They only have the pork schnitzel but it's some Of the best I've had! Well done! Totally recommend it :) read more

This brewery has a more contemporary atmosphere than most found in Cologne . There are multiple levels,a beautiful bar in the basement and a terrace facing one of the main squares. We enjoyed our food with a few glasses of delicious Kolsch. The smoked pork chops were yummy and I could have easily shared my big plate. For dessert, the Apple Strudel served with vanilla sauce was delicious. Like in all the breweries we visited in Cologne, the beer comes in a small glass and they'll bring you more until you put your coaster on top of the glass to let them know you are done. They keep track of the number of drinks you've had with a mark on the coaster. Cool and efficient. Service was friendly and we had a very pleasant dinner! read more

A guy who looked like he loved to eat (like me) sat next to me on a bench in Cologne. In my best broken German, I struck up a conversation with this friendly local. I asked where I should eat and he told me to try this place. I am so glad I was brave enough to start talking because Gilden im Zims was authentic and yummy! We were seated on the bottom basement floor which had oodles of ambiance. In fact, it was so very quiet and secluded that we started to think that we were dumped in the "tourist annex." I'm happy this wasn't the case as the room began to fill up with boisterous locals as the night went on. The atmosphere is really cool, especially in the basement. Thick, rock-lined walls and dim lighting really sets the mood, while long tables (probably meant to be semi-communal) add to the open atmosphere. We were given small menus in German (thankfully I had my trusty Rick Steves translation dictionary handy) and I opted to order from the special winter seasonal menu. I went with the creamy cabbage and bacon soup and my hubby ordered some fried potato and egg dish. We shared some sausages with potato salad. That potato salad was amazing! Germans know how to properly cook potatoes in all of their forms. Yum Yum YUM! If you like beer, this is a great place to drink some tasty brews. The coolest part? You get a pencil so you MARK HOW MANY BEERS YOU CONSUME ON YOUR COASTER and at the end of the night, you simply hand the coaster to your waitress and she charges you for what you drank. Is that the coolest thing ever or what? read more

This was an absolute treat. We tried to get into a restaurant at the square but was fully booked so I yelped and found this place close by. What a great find. We were seated in the back in like a German bier hall setting. The food was absolutely amazing. The best sauerkraut I ever tasted (not so Sauer). Really great. We had the salmon (nice and fatty smoked) Then the fried and the stewed knuckle (very good and very big). Finally the 1/2 kilo bratwurst. This came with baked potatoes with bacon bits. So good!! We could have easily only gotten 3 or maybe 2 dishes to share between the 4 of us. And we didn't have appetizers either (normally we do). I can really recommend this place for a true German experience and awesome food. Enjoy!! Oh, and Our waitress was also very attentive. Great staff overall. Don't skip this place when you are visiting Cologne! read more

My partner ordered 1 of 2 only vegetarian dishes on the menu, and it was absolutely disgusting. It's very loud inside more like a bar than a restaurant. At the end the our server knew we were tourists and said "tip still needs to be added. How much?" You do not tip in Germany. She was praying on us because she knew we do tip in our culture. Very lousy. read more

I have been coming here every time I come to Cologne (which is once a month or once every other month)since my brother in law introduced me to this place a couple years ago. It is a massive old brauhaus with many floors and areas to drink and dine. It is a gorgeous place and definitely reminds you that the brauhaus was the center for social life. The beer here is also one of my favorite Kölsch brews. I try to mix it up every time I go and try different things on the menu. My favorite is the schweinshaxe (roasted ham hock) but last night I had the "one pound" bratwurst with home fries and a side salad. Do not get the one pound! It is enormous and just too much for one person. The home fries here are done with chives, onions, and speck (Germany bacon) - they are the best potatoes I've had in Germany. I asked for their dark brown gravy which goes perfectly with the home fries. Depending on when you go and how crowded it is, you will get a different experience. I suggest going for dinner and showing up hungry. Try everything in the appetizers menu and get a smaller portion of one the entrees. read more

My friend and I went on a quest to try as many of Köln's best beers at the best beer places. We ranked each Kölsch beer after it was all over. Our journey had some interesting paths but some great stories were created on our journey. This place was a little more new then some of the other brewery houses we went to and the service was a little slow but they were quite busy. Here they served Gilden Kölsch which was my least favorite. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! We decided to eat indoors since it was pouring raining outside. The table was clean and that's where the positivity ends. Our waiter (Olaf F.) was BEYOND rude! We were taking off our soaking wet rain jackets and were approached by him saying something about Költsch but I couldn't make out anything except for the number 2 and hands us two menus. He came back seconds later and says something to the extent of you need three and I just responded that we can share and it wasn't a big deal. At this time, we all take our seats (it's 3 of us) and the waiter comes back with 3 beers. We proceed to tell him that we didn't order any beer and we wanted Fanta's. He then responded with "why didn't you say that; I asked you twice" and walks off with one of the beers. He came back a little while later with one Fanta. My mother then explains to him that we do not want the beers and to please bring another Fanta and one Coke Zero. He gives us another rude comment, takes the beers and brings us the other two sodas. I tell him that we are ready to order and he ignores me and walks away. He comes back about 10 minutes later and we place our food orders. When the food is brought to the table, a gravy is missing along with two side salads . They brought us the gravy after we asked but no side salads. We ate the food but I have to say that the gravy was the worst I ever had, the schnitzel tasted like a frozen schnitzel and the fries were mediocre. When the bill came, my mother called him over and told him that the check wasn't correct because we didn't get the side salads. He refused to take anything off of the check and became very combative! Never in my life have I ever experienced such a lack of service and food that I wasn't happy with in Germany. The young man that cleared the table off was such a nice young man (shaved head) and I wish he could have been our waiter. To sum it up, service SUCKS and food SUCKS - STAY AWAY BECAUSE IT'S A TOURIST TRAP. read more

I went to this place after reading a lot of the reviews here and I definitely didn't regret it. The food was great, the place was clean and the wait staff were absolutely delightful. Patient, helpful and they even helped me with my somewhat broken German. Food quality is also good, which might explain why there are so many locals around, and they definitely keep an eye on your Kölsch levels, but they definitely don't force them on you. While I was here I tried the Sauerbraten and the pork knuckle, both of which I thought were fantastic. If you're ever in Köln (Cologne) looking for a place to eat, this wouldn't be a bad choice. read more

Just for their attitude alone this place gets a 5 stars from me! Great beer and perfect environment for the world cup games. Great time to be in town and perfect location. First we went inside and it felt dark so we went right back outside and we stayed for hours, beer after beer and some delicious pork knuckles! Our waiter had a great attitude and never let our glass be empty! If and when we come back we will absolutely stop by here again read more

I came here last night for dinner with a group of 6. Good thing we had a reservation cause the front desk had to turn people away when we arrived since it was already packed at 6pm. I had the Rumpsteak (250g) with fries and a side salad. I tried to order it medium-rare but was told that they don't do that and I could only choose between "bloody, medium and well done". Hearing didn't make me happy but what can you do. I went with medium and hoped for the best. Luckily, the steak turned out pretty well. It was a good cut, not chewy and well seasoned. Quite enjoyable after all. The fries and the side salad were tasty as well. I found out later though that they are charging 1,80 € extra for mayo & ketchup. That's ridiculous. Our son had ordered the kids spaghetti with tomato sauce. He liked it, but the portion size was really pretty small. The service was friendly, but you need to be aware that they are placing small glasses of beer in front of you without asking and they will just keep them coming as well once your glass is more than half empty. So keep an eye on it or place a lid on top of a glass to signal that you are done. Overall, I liked the place since the food quality was good and the service quite nice, but there is definitely room for improvement in certain areas. read more

Excellent food and service in the heart of Cologne and near the river walk. My husband and I spent some time wandering around Cologne before we choose to have lunch here. We were greeted by very friendly servers who served us some Kolsch promptly. Their menu if helpful as if you reverse it- it is in English. For my starter I had the potato latkes with apple sauce and my main I had the mushroom dumplings. My husband had the pork knuckle and said it was amazing but struggled to finish it! As a vegetarian I found their food options the most inventive of others in the area. I will definitely return when next in Cologne. read more

A very traditional German beer-house, the food is excellent. You cannot go wrong ordering the wurst with bratkartofel or simply some decent pommes. The fresh beer, ah, yes, it is so fresh! If you want a special experience, go there after 10 pm on a Friday night and head to the basement where the party action is. The dj sits over unearthed artifacts that are well preserved and lit so you can see them. It's an overall great place to visit. read more

Indoor or outdoor, the energy is high in this popular restaurant. Reasonably attentive service, excellent wait staff and very good bratwurst. The potatoes were delightful - well done and "good gravy!" The ambience sound is very loud inside. Smoking is allowed outside. Reservations are highly recommended although we managed to catch a table as long as we didn't take more that 75 min. read more

Brauhaus meets Bauhaus at Gilden im Zims. A great spot to warm up after a wander around the markets. You can reserve a table in advance, or take your chances with the seating in the cellar. Regardless, you'll get excellent beer, nice food and good service in quirky surroundings. The communal tables and great deals on platters and beer makes this an excellent spot to take a group too. There's nothing like a hearty lunch and some cold Kölsch beer to recharge your batteries! read more

There are many brew houses here with simple fare, but I have found the food to be well above average here. My friends lives the potato soup, but I though the goulash was the best I have had in town. Sausages, pretzels, the usual are all decent, salad better than most. I find the Kolsch beer similar everywhere. Reasonable prices fun place read more

I didn't want to think about eating, so I went with the wienerschnitzel (pork), as did the date, who also had a side of cream mushroom sauce. The side salad was rather blah. But the wienerschnitzel was terribly dry. The date didn't seem to think it was as bad as I did - but I tell you, it was dry. Service was good. read more

The food was so good we ate here three times during our stay in Cologne. Wonderful interior and great food. Classic German items. I had the Pork knuckle and it was the best I've ever had. Lean and with a nice crispy skin. DELICIOUS! My partner had the Munich sausages with a pretzel and salad and they were also terrific. Some of the best beer...Kolsch. Served icy cold in small glasses. Friendly service and everyone spoke English..menu in English too. read more

While the food looked good at other tables we were unfortunate to have a waiter who never came back. He was prompt with our drinks but 20 minutes later he never came back. I requested another server take our order and he and the other waiter just laughed. If I could give a zero or negative rating I would. There are too many good restaurants in close proximity to waste time on this place. read more

Came here for dinner after reading the Yelp reviews. I was a bit sick of big meat dishes that come with potatoes and sauerkraut so I begged my fiancé to let us get some small plates to share [this might be against German custom but our waiter didn't give us grief about it]. We ordered the potato latkes with applesauce, the pretzel with butter, the meatball, and a cold cut salad with pickles and onions. The latkes were amazing. Hard to have a bad latke but these were flavorful and had a great crunch. I'm a pretzel aficionado and have eaten my fair share of pretzels. This one was definitely at the top. It came out warm and with butter on the side. Although I thought pretzels were perfect as is, it turns out you can make pretzels even better by adding a little bit of butter to them! The meatball came out looking like a giant hamburger patty so I was a bit skeptical but it tasted amazing! Flavorful and moist. The salad was the surprise hit. Neither of us are salad people but the description on the menu sounded so good that we had to try it - and it didn't disappoint. My fiancé described it as being the antipasti dish that he wished all other antipasti dishes were. It was light but packed with flavor. Although I'm not drinking right now [currently pregnant] my fiancé can attest to the fact that the beer was flowing all night. As soon as he finished his he had a nice cold full one in front of him. The waiter was very friendly and casual with us, which we liked. He spoke English and they had English menus which made communicating and ordering very easy. The food was a bit slow to come out - not sure if this was because our waiter forgot to put in the order (he came back a couple times to ask if we wanted to order food after we had already ordered food) or if it was because the place was pretty busy. Either way we didn't mind as we weren't starving and were enjoying the ambiance, but something to keep in mind if you're in a rush or feeling particularly ravenous. All in all, a great experience with truly delicious food. We definitely would have gone back had we been in Cologne longer. read more
