This somewhat…read morehighly touted boutique restaurant is, in my humble and usually generous opinion, a bit of a fraud. The set three or four course menu when I dined there recently was almost from start to finish a hyperglicemic's worst nightmare, every course from the scallop starter to the miniscule (fortunately) serving of kohlrabi "souped" up with vanilla, mango and other sweets to the sweet reduction on the beef. Not to mention the beef was served with SWEET potatoes. The scallop course had chunks of sweetened miniature corn and was topped for who knows what reason with crushed corn nuts! Scallops are somewhat delicate and the corn nuts really did them in. To give them credit the wines were good from different regions of Germany and France. To top things off, between the second and main course I was served a cup of espresso. Well, I thought, here's something novel, an intermezzo surprise to cleanse the palate after all the cloying sweetness but the surprise was that it was mis-delivered to me instead of to another table. The restaurant is too precious for words but no value for the money. Did I mention I left before dessert?

Ich kehrte Anfang 2025 nach Köln zurück und war überrascht, dass sich Le Moissonnier offenbar in…read moreein nur tagsüber geöffnetes Bistro-Restaurant verwandelt hat. Das Ambiente, das Essen und der Service sind alle noch immer ausgezeichnet, auch wenn die Michelin-Kritiker ihre Bewertung leicht gesenkt haben. Die köstliche Bouillabaisse und die gegrillten Rehrückenplatten erinnerten mich daran, warum mir dieses Restaurant so gut gefällt. Und ich werde trotzdem wiederkommen / I returned to Köln in early 2025 and was surprised to find Le Moissonnier appears to have changed into a daytime-only Bistro restaurant. The ambiance, food and service are all still excellent, even as Michelin reviewers have slightly lowered their rating. The delicious bouillabaisse and the grilled wild saddle of venison plates reminded me of why I enjoy this restaurant so much. And I will still return. 2025 01 16. M1.

I arrived and didn't realize I was in the right spot as there was no host stand when you walk past a heavy velvet curtain. Rather you're greeted immediately with tables and people dining. It was awkward as I walked out and a local walked me back in and announced to everyone that I thought I was lost. It have everyone quite the entertainment. Despite that welcome the food was amazing and super intricate. The food descriptions are simple yet three plates arrive for one course. People surrounding me were being served at least 8 to 12 courses and I was so full after my six. More than enough! Total bill with two glasses of wine was 150 euros. I would come back because the menu is super creative and imaginative, the food is delicious and actually filling, and only locals dine here!

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.
