The large restaurant can easily accommodate many patrons. Large roomy tables are perfect for those who don't want to feel claustrophobic. The menu is vast and in English (Angels singing). Best of all.. They had fois gras with a side scoop of sorbet... Strange but it worked! And the not so great.... The wait for the menu was 10 min. The wait to order was 15. The whole ordeal took over 2 hours. This was a bit long when you've got two young kids dining with you. The worst part? They charge 9€ for a bottle of Evian water. A bit steep in my opinion. They also have breakfast buffet here in the morning. Not the best but not so bad either. There are a variety of cheeses,breads, and meats. There's an omelette station, too. Monday guy was great but Sunday guy was a joke. I asked for an omelette...and then I returned a few minutes later... Had to repeat what I wanted and he said 10 min. 10 min later he said "10 minutes. " I go back 10 min later and he asked what I ordered! So I repeated it and he said "ahhhh it's right here" as he started throwing the ingredients in my omelette to one he was already cooking! And.... It was still wrong!

The food was fantastic and had lots of local flair. We really enjoyed the starters which included an eclectic collection of various salads, cheeses and bread. They had lots of flatbread options on the menu and the salads were fresh. The wines were very reasonably priced. I very much enjoyed the Chardonnay on the menu. I would come back to Belgischer Hof the next time I am in Cologne.

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!
