We were at Royal Iberico for a Yelp Elite event and were greeted by a well-decorated, chic atmosphere and our warm and friendly restaurant hosts. The restaurant is small but intimate and cozy. On to the food- we started with a delicious and smooth Cava Apertif which was refreshing and tasty, and an olive bread with a garlic dip. The appetizer was a beautifully presented zucchini hors d'oeuvre, and we also enjoyed a charcuterie platter with Serrano ham, cheese, and chorizo. The main course was the highlight of our evening- Iberian steak with potatoes and mixed vegetables. The steak was both crispy and tender, flavorful and delicious. It had a tad too much salt for my taste, but overall it was very good. In between courses, we enjoyed live violin and accordion music, which was a great surprise. They played dynamically and romantically and added to the charm of the evening. Five stars for a lovely dinner and evening.

This was the only place to ever go to if you wanted a really good steak…read more As an American after so many months and years here, you broke down and really wanted to get a good steak. This is where you had to go to get a decent stick in the cologne area. They know how to make steaks here, they're thick, fresh and juicy. I really know how to prepare the meat here, better than anywhere else. Every so often I would crave a steak after eating so much chicken and pork, prepared the German way. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but it's well worth it. If you're going to get any kind of steak in Germany, make sure it's at an Argentinian restaurant. Go to where you know they know properly prepare the meat and get the right cuts as well. A lot of German steak dishes, usually consist of behind her back side of the animal. Not always the best cut of the animal.

Everyone of us of course had steaks, with some potatoes and a bit of vegetables. The red wine was flowing, some of the best Argentinian wine of course. The inside is reminiscent of an old-school steakhouse. It's dimly lit and lots of wood and dark furnishings. There's shelves and walls of bottles and more bottles. Besides a great company and the good food, there was also bands serenading us through our dinner. Can't beat the abundance of entertainment at every corner of this dining room. The place felt so alive and vibrant. This is touted as one of the best steak houses in Cologne. There's a lot more competition today, but this one is still running strong.

The menu has a number of starters, salads, steaks and desserts. You can order your different cuts of steak cooked in different ways and with pepper crust or a few other combinations. You can order sides and sauces as well. My steak was cooked ok and lacked flavour for what was supposed to be a piquante :-) Portion was fairly big and normally I would have no problem with it but, the lack of flavour put me off it. All in all an ok place for meal. I am sure there are better places in town for a good steak.

I had the herring sample plate, don't remember the exact name, but it was something like Köln Sushi. In any case, it was herring served in a bout 6 different ways and I loved every one of them. This dish is for true lovers of those delightful little fish. They were smoked, marinated, raw, with beets in a salad, grilled, and so on. Everything was so fresh and tasty. I finished it all, something I seldom do. This was the best meal I had in Cologne, and I'd go back for more. That's saying a lot too, as I almost always prefer trying somewhere new. The riverside setting is great for people watching, and for us it was a great place to duck out of the rain for a Kölsch before we decided to stay and dine.

The service was good, the waitress and an owner-looking guy were both responsive and polite. However after I paid my bill, an older owner-looking guy stopped me from heading out and asked me to take my bottle with me. I bought a bottle of still water earlier, and finished it during dinner so I left the empty bottlethere. I was embarrassed at first thinking I had to take care of the plates and trash, until the old guy speaking to me with a condescending tone: German people come to a restaurant, order food and drink, they don't drink from their own. You take it with you unless it isn't yours. I simply don't understand the logic that if I have my water already, why do I have to order the unnecessaries from you? Plus, if you can't handle the culture diversity probably you shouldn't do catering on the most international corner in Köln. I welcome any German friend to enlighten me on this. Food wise it was average, I ordered tapas which had no seafood, so probably that was not their specialty.
