We partook in the Klee menu a few weeks ago during our travel to Cologne. What really stood out to…read moreme was the aesthetics and vision of the menu. Each dish had varying degrees of sweet, sour, umami, bitter, fat, and salty. Some of the presentation were quite whimsical like the origin of the pretzel shape and its presentation, and some were stunning like the rose in smoke and the chocolate course resembling multiple galaxies. In terms of flavor though, we thought most of the dishes tasted good but nothing really stood out as amazing. I remember the visuals more than the taste of any particular dish. This is my own preference, but I think in trying to showcase all 6 tastes in each dish, all of the dishes ended up sort of blending together without much character or that explosion of flavors that make you close your eyes to savor each bite. I also liked the ambiance here - we had a view of the river from our seat and were surrounded my modern art and meditation music. We also did the wine pairing, but I actually thought the sekt we ordered off the menu was the best. The pairing wines had a great vision and introduced different grape varietals based on when they were first harvested, but we did not particularly think they complemented the dishes nor all that delicious. They also had a great concept of producing a map with QR codes that you can read more about the wines, but unfortunately were outdated so the finishing wines were a little lost on us. Also a heads up that the tasting menu lasted almost 5 hours, which is the longest from my experience. If you're with good company, that's fine but good to know if you have other evening plans.

Für meinen Besuch habe ich beschlossen, auf das verfügbare "Kleeblatt" (vegetarisches Menü) und die…read morealkoholfreie Kombination zu verzichten, um das klassische "Ochsen" (Fleisch- und Fischmenü mit Wein) zu genießen ... obwohl es sich bei beiden um "Überraschungsmenüs" handelt . Die Idee von Chefkoch Gottschlich für das Restaurant besteht darin, jedes Gericht so zu komponieren, dass es alle sechs Hauptgeschmacksrichtungen enthält: süß, salzig, sauer, bitter, Umami und Fett. Von den Amuse-Bouches bis zu den abschließenden Petit Fours ist ihm das offensichtlich hervorragend gelungen. Besonders gut hat mir das Kalbfleisch, das Knochenmark mit Kalbsbries in Tortellini und der Trüffelschaum gefallen. Ich war auch mit dem Teller mit Jakobsmuscheln, Kaviar, schwarzer Limette und Rhabarber zufrieden. Die Kellner wirkten entspannt und waren äußerst hilfsbereit. Ich grinste über die Uniform, die das Küchenpersonal trug, als es in den Speisesaal kam, um zu helfen. Ein jüngerer Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) würde die Lederschürzen, Riemen und Schnallen wahrscheinlich gutheißen. Nach dem Essen sprach ich draußen mit ein paar Gästen, während ich auf den Taxiservice wartete. Anscheinend habe ich keines der vegetarischen Gerichte nah genug gesehen, um auf die Bemühungen der Köche hinweisen zu können. Mein Verlust. Jetzt muss ich zurückkehren, um die "Klee"-Gerichte zu probieren. / For my visit, I decided to pass on the available "clover," (vegetarian menu) and non-alcoholic pairing to enjoy the classic "ox," (meat and fish menu with wine)... although both are "surprise" menus. Chef Gottschlich's idea for the restaurant is to compose each dish to contain all 6 primary tastes: sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, and fat. From the amuse bouches to the final Petit fours, he has obviously succeeded admirably. I particularly enjoyed the veal, bone marrow with sweetbreads in tortellini and truffle foam. I was also pleased with the scallop, caviar, black lime and rhubarb plate. The servers seemed relaxed and were extremely helpful. I did smirk at the uniform that the kitchen staff was wearing when they came onto the dining floor to assist. A younger Martin Gore (DM) would probably approve of the leather aprons, straps and buckles. After my meal, I spoke with a couple of diners outside while waiting for the taxi service. Apparently, I did not see any of the vegetarian dishes close enough to remark on the efforts of the chefs. My loss. Now I have to return to try the "clover" dishes. 2023 09 01. M2.

The menu has a great selection and the portion sizes are very generous. Prices are very reasonable too. The atmosphere is that of a casual pub. The service was super friendly and they spoke great English. Our server was super helpful and sweet. Good food comes out and freshly prepared within about 10-15 minutes of ordering. To share with the table, we ordered the Gebackener Camembert. This consisted of fresh deep-fried breaded Camembert cheese accompanied by fresh parsley, jellied cranberries, pumpnickel bread, and butter. This was delicious as the outside was breaded just right and the inside was luscious with soft, gooey cheese. The jellied cranberries and pumpernickel bread accompanied the pungent cheese very well. This only came with one slice of bread, but our server brought out additional bread (not pumpernickel, but even better!). For my plate, I ordered Ochsenbrust which consisted of brisket of beef, with beetroot, and boiled potatoes. This was a hearty meal with a decent amount of tender brisket covered in a creamy horseradish sauce. However the boiled potatoes might have been my favorite part of this meal. I have never had boiled potatoes cooked that well with that amount of flavor. I really enjoyed this meal as it was unique and like nothing I'd had before. Overall, I enjoyed my first authentic German meal here! The ambiance was perfect as it was both inviting and casual. Service was very pleasant and helpful. The food was great, it was just a lot. They do not skimp on portions here! I liked both the starter and entree I ordered as everything was seasoned well with great, unique flavors. If you are in need of some classic German pub food, this is a great spot to check out!

I booked it about 1.5 months prior to my visit and I had to switch my whole itinerary to fit in this section. I thought I was very lucky to be able to book this restaurant, but it turns out to be a total disappointment. 1. When we arrived (on time) there was a table available (2 seater) but they didn't give us that table and instead we were told to sit on a high chair. 2. After they gave us the menu, they literally came back 3 times in 5mins asking if we were ready to order (it felt like they wanted us to eat quick and kick us out). 3. Food is not cheap but I was not wow with the food quality and the ingredients used. Honestly, I expect more for a Michelin star restaurant. 4. We ordered the BBQ Benedict and the Rosti Waffle, and the food presentation didn't impress me at all. In conclusion, there are way better options out there so don't waste your time in here...not worth it
