Ok the Südstadt is the centre of a good Spanish restaurant tradition. You have tapas and fine food,…read morebut a spanish cafe restaurant was missing. Now we can sleep well knowing there is a good place for a tasty breakfast like in España! Food is great, it really brings the Spanish feeling and taste to Germany. Tasty café con leche (missing only a Marbú cookie). Omelette manchego and chorizo (tasty but please don't try to kiss anybody afterwards) and you get that tasty bread with sofrito and olive oil! The tortilla is great and they have a very nice selection of jamón, lomo, etc. The staff is very friendly and gives the place a nice comfortable local feeling. So imho five stars. I am just missing my Marbú cookie and maybe a brunch on Sunday but that is really nitpicking.

This place is amazing! It is like walking into Spain! They have Spanish beers at a great price, a…read moregood selection of wine for a very affordable price and many options for tapas. We ordered a few tapas and after a couple beers ordered a bottle of wine. The atmosphere is great and it's always busy. Unless you don't mind sitting at the bar, make a reservation the day before if you want a table. We loved this place and will be sure to return during our next trip to Köln.

*Very rude staff, bad experience for tourists*…read more My friend and I are visitors in Cologne. We were walking around the city and all public bathrooms were closed. We went inside and politely asked if we could use the bathroom. We were ready to pay. The lady at this restaurant was extremely rude to us. She treated us badly and made us feel unwelcome. Other restaurants nearby let us use the bathroom for just 1 euro. But here the staff was horrible. We are tourists spending money in Cologne, and this was a very bad experience. Think twice before you go to this restaurant.

Filos is a very nice bar / restaurant in the Südstadt in Cologne to have a drink or bite something…read more It serves some Greek specialties but the food there is pretty various. You can also find pizza and other various European food. What I really like there is the very easy going atmosphere and the people working there. They're always very nice and the service is pretty fast. Sitting outside in summer is very enjoyable, the merowingerstrasse is pretty quiet. If you sit inside, the area at the bar is a smoking area but the majority of the tables are in a smoke free zone.
