Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--the cheeses were rich in the Croque Monsieur and flavorful, they were silky and comforting, and every bite tasted like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared. The service was just as wonderful; our server was warm, attentive, cute AF and made us feel right at home. The outdoor seating was perfect for people-watching, which, let's be honest, These German guys are super handsome. Köln did not disappoint... I don't know what they're putting in the water here, but Germans really do make strolling down the street look like a model show. Anyways, whatever you do, save room for the chocolate soufflé. It rose higher than my self-control and disappeared faster than my promise to "just have one bite." A fantastic meal, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I'll happily return to!

We had the Labneh Bil Thoum, Batata Harra, Halloumi Kase, Baba Ghannousch, and Sambusil Bil Lahmeh. Also included was warm flatbread for the dipping. The flavors really popped with each dish and I would say you don't need to order a salad because there is plenty as a garnish (see photos below)! I would say it compares to some of the best we had in Beirut in 2022!

She's glamorous and crisp and flavorful and just a little bit exotic (in a way that's friendly and approachable). I had one with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and rocket (European arugula) and my boyfriend's had smoked salmon, spinach, and garlic. The crusts were cracker thin and crisp.... but not too crisp. They had an inner tenderness that was heavenly. Baked in a brick oven, they had a slight char that added an amazing flavor. They were both drizzled with amazingly flavorful olive oil. Each Flammkuchen was probably large enough to share, but I was so happy that we each got our own.... and just as thankful that my boyfriend never asked for a taste of mine.... which I never offered.... because I wanted every last bit to be all mine.

They started the table with fresh made bread & homemade butter. We ordered their Schnitzel, Gnocchi, & a Kolsch beer. The schnitzel was tender, moist, & had a golden fry (did not feel greasy at all). The gnocchi was soft, chewy, & fresh with mushrooms & veal. Service was attentive and helpful when trying to figure out what to order. We finished our meal with a berry cobbler which came out hot & with a scoop of ice cream on the side.

**FAVORITE LUNCH SPOT IN COLOGNE**…read more If you feel like having a high-quality and somewhat pricey lunch, DO IT. HERE. AMBIANCE ========== Typical European bistro with strong Italian influences. Clean, upscale. Outdoor seating next to the cobble-stoned streets. FOOD ===== SALAT ZIEGENKÄSE (11,50 euros) OMG, the best goat cheese and salad in the world. Good size cheese rested upon a cracker, oozing on top of a delicious bed of salad. A meal in itself, no need to order a main entreé. RATING: 5/5 STAFF ====== Quick, efficient, and friendly. They went out of their way to explain their menu in English. NOTE ====== Don't take complimentary filtered water for granted in the States. Water is NOT free in Europe. **5 euros for a small bottle of water was steep.** Still dreaming about that goat cheese salad. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for lunch.

We ordered the Zaalouk for appetizer which comprised of smokey eggplant, garlic and tomatoes, treated as a spread with warm flatbread. For mains, we got Beef Tagine and Lamb with couscous. The flavors had a great spice level and transported me back to Morocco. The worst part of the evening was the service. I ordered an appetizer, knowing that Tagine will take a while. It all came together 35 minutes later. Can't blame it on COVID for mistakes like this. Can't fool us to have dessert since we never saw him come to our table besides giving food. We ended up walking to the cashier to pay. Our server was having his well deserved smoke break. Come here, eat the food but don't come hangry!
