The crispy pork leg was huge and crispy, yet juicy on the inside. Too much for 1 person really. The food takes around 45 minutes if it's peak time. There was some street music while we ate which was nice. It would have been 5 star if the waiter suggested we shared the pork leg and ordered something different, but when my girlfriend said she wanted a smaller version and ordered that he didn't think to suggest to share mine. Also it felt slow to come out (but that's just Europe in general)

A fun, lively pub on the Heumarkt. Quite a diverse, touristy crowd. It was the day after the massive party on Saturday for Karneval so it was relatively subdued. They pour a tasty, fresh Gilden Kölsch but the brand itself isn't impressive. It's a classic version but a bit harsh and nowhere near the best example of the style in the city. Very friendly staff who are accommodating for tourists and speak great English, if you're wondering.

The pork knuckle was delicious! Crispy and perfect cooked. We went during the Christmas markets and during the final World Cup match and still had great service. They even accommodated side changes for our meals and had vegan options. The sauerkraut and coleslaw were also amazing. Highly recommend for great German food in the city!

Great brewery and restaurant in the centre of town, with a great Kolsch brew and a good variety of food on the menu. There is loads of seating available outdoors, and upstairs and downstairs. Service was very friendly and helpful too.

Restaurant offering traditional Cologne dishes at good quality and local beer (Gilden). The place is big but very popular among locals and tourists alike, hence expect it to be busy. It's recommended to reserve a table especially in the evenings and on weekends. Staff was friendly, service quick, prices average.

We came mostly at 9 PM without reservation but the place is large enough for us to have a table right away. The food was very good. The sauce of schnitzel was delicious. The steak was soft and potatoes were nicely done. It would be much better if the butter is better. I recommend it.

Wanted to check out this restaurant due to the good ratings and it was really close to the Old Market. We first got to the restaurant, seated right away. Then we waited 15 minutes until we got a menu and was talked to by our server. This guy ended up being an issue for a lot of tables. A lot of tables would call for him but he would just ignore and act like he did not hear them. He would eventually make his was over to the tables that called for him but everyone would have to wait quite a bit. I do not want to put the whole rating on the server, overall the restaurant was decorated nicely. Also later in the meal we had another server help out, she was much nicer so I know this might be a one person issue. We ordered the Mett-Hapen (Beef Tartare Sandwich), Schnitzel (pork cutlet with mushroom sauce and fries) and the Sauerbraten (Marinated beef with raisins, almonds, red cabbage and potato dumplings). The food was nice, good portions and nice taste. Overall solid restaurant but bad waiter.

Beware if you are paying card. Pay the bill with your card but tips separately(in cash). Do not let the staff charge the tips together with you card otherwise will rip off wallet. Food : Taste 3/5 but generous portion. Service: 2/5. starting was good but when it comes to bill, there is this lady(around mid 40 with pony tail) really force us to submit 10% of the bill as tips. Seriously?? Just because we are tourist , you should rip your customer like that. Your same staff got the cunning look when ask us for 10% tips.

(Translated by Google) The Gilden im Zims is one of the typical Cologne breweries. The Kölsch is good, the food is rustic but usually well done. First and foremost, the brewery is geared towards serving as many tourists as possible. But that applies to all breweries in the center of Cologne. Nevertheless, you can spend a few nice hours here and have fun. (Original) Das Gilden im Zims ist eines der typischen Kölner Brauhäuser. Das Kölsch ist gut, das Essen rustikal aber in der Regel gut gemacht. In erster Linie ist das Brauhaus darauf ausgerichtet möglichst viele Touristen zu bedienen. Das trifft aber für alle Brauhäuser im Zentrum Kölns zu. Trotzdem kann man hier ein paar schöne Stunden verbringen und seinen Spaß haben.

Stopped in here in a whim and glad we did. The butchers plate special, crispy pork knee, schnitzel, & bratwurst with sides of potatoes and sauerkraut was excellent! It was so much food that the four of us couldn’t finish it, as much as we wanted to! Love the beer hall feel, lively and welcoming!

I love this restaurant. It has everything I want: good location, fast service, you can choose to sit outdoor or indoor, great beers, amazing food, and especially the excellent waiter who is super friendly, professional and fluently both foreign languages English and Spanish. I recommend you to try the crispy pork, it’s a WOW.

Stunning food and setting. Couldn't quite believe how much food they serve to the giant venue and yet, impeccably made. Every item was delicious and brought out fast. Highly recommend the Pork Knuckle which a friend had, and the Sausage (pictured).

Went to Gilden im Zims for an authentic Germany meal on my European tour and this place did not disappoint. Some of the best food I have had yet. Had to try the pork knuckle and omg it was massive but the best port I’ve ever had! The most amazing crackling you’ve tasted in your life. A cool very easy drinking on tap beer too that just kept coming for a great €2. Food was out so fast and it was busy! All in all everyone enjoyed there meal and had a great night. Highly recommend

Huge airy restaurant with cold and clean Kölsch beer. However, food (bratwurst and herring) was just so salty. I could not finish my meal. Wished other kinds of seasoning were used rather than salt on salt.

A great place we found just in between the 2 Christmas markets. Service is friendly and quick. Beer is great!

Perfect stop for an afternoon lunch! Friendly service, beautiful restaurant and nice seating outside. The food was so delicious. Would eat here again, yes!

(Translated by Google) The cinnamon pan was great ? (Original) Die Zims-Pfanne war klasse ?

Food was excellent, pricing too. The dishes are good sized and not pricy. Service was great, with nice staff. It is worth the visit.

(Translated by Google) Best brewery in Cologne (Original) Beste Brauhaus in Köln

The waiter, despite persistent waving and shouting, did not come to serve us for more than half an hour. At the same time, he brought beer to the guys who were sitting next to us, several times. Is it because we are foreigners, that is. tourists or because the waiter thought we didn’t deserve to have lunch I don’t know. I do not recommend this place to tourists. Big ZERO !!!

Very nice place to eat and rest when waiting for a train

That’s a great restaurant. It’s gigantic. You will have great chance to find a table even with large groups. The food is excellent, and price are quite good. Only issue is the noise because the restaurant is very large

So authentic and fun. You can tell this is a place the locals come and the beer deliciously refreshing. Very interesting site they have preserved some of the excavation they did when remodeling.

What a great way to experience Cologne. The Kolsh was great and flowed freely, the food was great German "pub" food (especially the schnitzel), and best of all, the service staff were brilliant and friendly. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

A great place for some beer and German desserts! We stopped here late on a Saturday for some traditional puddings and got Apfelstrudel and another dish I forget the name of (a huge plate of fried pancake-like slices), which were both delicious. They are very generous servings, as often in Germany, and served with lovely ceramic tankards of the local kolsch. We also came back for the Sunday carnival event and had a great time downstairs in the basement dancing to the carnival songs with very friendly locals, and trying some of the drinks we hadn't heard of like woodruff shots and the Hugo (a delicious prosecco cocktail of mint and elderberry). It's a beautiful building, and a great place to spend some fun time.

This is a very popular restaurant and considering the size of it service is great. A couple of waitresses are running the show and they're very cheerful and friendly. Kölsch is good, cold and served immediately. I had one pound bratwurst and oh my oh, it's a very large portion with the side of roasted potatoes and a salad. So keep that in mind before you order. I love spicy food but I found this one a bit salty and extra spicy. Spice and salt muted the taste of everything. Anyways, cool location for one time visit for tourists like myself.

2 person 2 dishes, both dishes was good. We were waiting for food after order around 15 min. Food was good 😊. Nice to try them 👌🏻

Traditional German food restaurant, where you can eat a good knuckle or the typical Bratwurst sausage. The atmosphere of the place is great, although it is usually very crowded, so do not expect a "relaxed" dinner. I recommend ordering local Kölsch beer. They serve it in small 0.2 L glasses, but don't underestimate it, because they refill it continuously (unless you put the coaster on top).

The ambiance and outside setting was very inviting. Super friendly wait staff and before it got cold brought out blankets. Lastly, the food was great!!

Went for lunch around 1pm before Xmas. Quite busy at that timing. Food was great. Ordered crispy pork knuckle for sharing. It’s a must try but I think it will be too much for a lady so best was to share. Do not forget the goulash soup (chunks of beef stewed)if you can take beef. Although it’s very busy, the staff was friendly especially Ms Sandra who served us. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Great location next to the Christmas market. Good place to try authentic food which was great. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Basement was large and bathrooms were impressive clearly a great venue for a large event. Quick and efficient service and prices were reasonable.

Great brauhaus atmosphere. Good service from friendly staff. Take a bow Rita! At 22.00 (Saturdays only?) the basement becomes a nightclub - €5 entry. The DJ and decks are set up above a well that dates back to Roman times! 😳 Good food, but could have been hotter. Tasty. The 1/2 kilo Bratwurst is a BIG eat! Only 1 of 4 of us managed to finish it! Next time I'll go for the 1/4 kilo option.

Wonderful food! Did not have a reservation but they seated us anyway. Had English menu. The food was brilliant, we had the pork knuckle and bratwurst. The pork knuckle was massive, you could probably share it between 2. It was very busy but service was still good and quick.

Fantastic place, fantastic staff, delicious food! You can have late evening food in a lovely atmosphere, highly recommended! Forget the clowns of Haxenhaus!

Very touristy area, but good food and service nonetheless. Kolsh biers come out as fast as you can drink them (200 mL / 6.7 fl. oz.). Schnitzel was delicious. Fun vacation spot.

Friendly staff, excellent tasting German food. Dishes all are good what we had. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Some of the best food I had my entire stay in Cologne. The sausage was amazing as were the potatoes. And one of the stars of the dish was the mustard. And this is coming from someone who does NOT like mustard. I couldn't get enough of it. The outdoor seating was perfect and their canopy helped me stay dry during a thunderstorm that popped up at lunchtime. Service was also great! I would for sure visit again next time I'm in Cologne!

Food is great except it’s too salty for me. Staffs is friendly and nice. Beer is great. Good to try.

A fantastic restaurant with classic German cuisine. Highly recommended for tourists to try out some delicious food with a great atmosphere. Staff were very accommodating and friendly.

It might be because of Christmas times but it was very crowded and staff was very rude! He angrily start to close the outdoor seating while we were sitting and just ordered. He also left his tray on our table, I don’t understand why.

Amazing food! It was so good that we went back 3 nights in a row! The friend blood sausage, the crispy pig knuckle and the 1/4sausage were all amazing. Staff is very friendly but not quick to get to you so just flag them down if you need anything.

The staff is nice and friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant as well, but the food is very touristy and it seems that food was made particularly to meet the tourist‘s view of Germany. Local German food is more wholesome and can be soulful but one cannot find it here.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Busy place, yet the staff were friendly , attentive and the food came out at a reasonable time. Food was lovely. Couldn't fault it. Would definately be back and would recommend!

Nice restaurant, too bad for the annoying wasps

Fast service, friendly staff and great taste

Delicious food and friendly staff. Great restaurant in the old town of cologne. In cologne there are many exceptional restaurants this is one of those recommended.

The best roasted knuckle ever. Crispy, tasty, with sauerkraut and potatoes, and much much beer. German schnaps was really good. Good service, noisy location, really good food. Fair prices.

Very lovely place and the staff were incredibly friendly and spoke fluent english. They were able to get a table for us at the last minute but I would recommend booking in advance. Try their crispy pork, it was delicious!

We love this place, and always go to eat there when we visit Köln. Good, quality Rheinland cooking. Filling portions at reasonable prices. Very friendly with children. It sometimes gets very busy so it can take a while to get served then. The menu is entertaining to read!

Had dinner on 29 Nov., Friday night at around 8pm. The food was below my expectation, especially the Sirloin steak which was unchewable. The glass of red wine was very diluted, should be blended with water. Service was normal standard. The bill included the service charge. Paid cash, but waiter didn't give the change!

Hands down best pork knuckle in German if not the world! Super crispy skin but juicy inside. Vibe of the resto is great too. With helpful staff and big place.

Crazy busy place! Servers are in a rush, but remain kind in their service. Good fair for food.

Sehr leckeres Essen, super Bedienung und leckeres Kölsch. Defintitiv einen Besuch Wert!

Sehr sauber, guter Service, gute lokale Küche.

Great food! Any schnitzel costs 14.50. Nice atmosphere and nice staff

(Translated by Google) Excellent! (Original) Super!

Tischreservierung für 10 Personen gemacht, pünktlich erschienen und statt freundlicher Begrüßung sind wir erstmal direkt in einem frechen Ton angeranzt worden, hier würde nicht rumgegrölt, nur damit wir das schon mal wüssten. Dabei saß noch nicht einmal die Hälfte der Personen und bisher hatte keiner von uns auch nur einen Ton von sich gegeben. Schade, aber sind dann direkt aufgestanden und gegangen. 2 Häuser weiter hatten wir einen sehr schönen und geselligen Abend mit einem sehr zufriedenen Köbes

Die Frau an der „Rezeption“ (dunkle Haare, Köln-Tattoo) ist mega unfreundlich, frech und unverschämt. Wir waren schon öfters im Zims, aber so etwas hab ich noch nicht erlebt. Schade eigentlich...

Reservierung ohne Essen nicht möglich. Hatten einen Tisch reserviert da kam die "Chefin" (zumindest lief sie draußen rum als hätte sie was zu sagen) und meinte wir müssten was essen. Dabei möchte man nur gemütlich ein paar Kölsch trinken. Bedienung sehr freundlich im Gegensatz zu ihrer "Chefin". Wir hatten 20:30 Uhr. Da möchte man nur gemütlich noch ein Kölsch trinken und dann das.

(Translated by Google) I went to eat there with a buddy tonight and was very pleased.

Modernes Brauhaus, leckeres Gilden und sehr gute Speisen.

Sehr nette herzlich Kölsche Bedienung. Der Platz an der hinteren Ecken vom Heumarkt lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die Schnitzel sind anderswo beim gleichen Preis und gleicher (Top-) Qualität größer, aber man bezahlt eben auch für die tolle Lage.

We enjoyed our food with a few glasses of delicious Kolsch. The smoked pork chops were yummy and I could have easily shared my big plate. For dessert, the Apple Strudel served with vanilla sauce was delicious. They keep track of the number of drinks you've had with a mark on the coaster. Cool and efficient.

(Translated by Google) The food was delicious, we had the salad with fried potatoes and a fried egg and the cinnamon pan. Incredibly delicious! Unfortunately, I had to give the salad plate to the kitchen again, but the error was fixed within a few minutes. Unfortunately, at the beginning we were sent a little unfriendly by a waitress from our seat, as it had not yet been cleaned. One could have phrased that a little more friendly. The friendly and fast service (another waitress) made up for it. We'd love to do it again on our next visit to Cologne! (Original) Essen war sehr lecker, wir hatten den Salat mit Bratkartoffeln und einem Spiegelei und die Zimspfanne. Unglaublich lecker! Ich musste den Salatteller leider noch einmal in die Küche geben, der Fehler wurde aber innerhalb weniger Minuten behoben. Leider wurden wir zu Beginn etwas unfreundlich von einer Bedienung von unserem Platz geschickt, da dieser noch nicht gesäubert sei. Das hätte man gerne etwas freundlicher formulieren können. Durch die freundliche und schnelle Bedienung (eine andere Kellnerin) wurde das aber wieder gut gemacht. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Köln gerne wieder!

First experience in Köln and it was quite good. Food portions were huge and it was good too. Beer, ofcourse the kölsch is the star here. Staff seemed quite friendly as well.

Loved the beers and Zimspfanne

Sehr gute Speisen, netter, aufmerksamer Service und lecker Kölsch

(Translated by Google) Were here today during our short trip to Cologne and I can only recommend it ... nice atmosphere both outside and inside. We sat outside on the terrace. The waiter came very quickly and was very personable and courteous. The drinks came quickly and the waiting time for our food was reasonable, even though the place was well attended. I ate sauerbraten with red cabbage and dumplings and my friend the goulash with spaetzle. The food was very tasty and nicely presented (it's just a shame that the spaetzle wasn't homemade). The menu offered a wide selection of home-style dishes and various drinks. As soon as my friend's Kölsch was empty, he quickly got a new one. We thought it was great! The sanitary facilities were also clean. All in all it was a nice stay and we would definitely eat there again on our next visit to Cologne! (Original) Waren hier heute während unseres Kurzausfluges in Köln und ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen...nettes Ambiente sowohl draußen als auch drin. Wir saßen draußen auf der Terasse. Der Kellner kam sehr zügig und war von seiner Art her sehr sympathisch und zuvorkommend. Die Getränke kamen schnell und die Wartezeit auf unser Essen war angemessen, obwohl das Lokal gut besucht war. Ich habe Sauerbraten mit Rotkohl und Klößen gegessen und mein Freund den Gulasch mit Spätzle. Das Essen war sehr lecker und schön angerichtet (Schade nur, dass die Spätzle nicht selbst gemacht waren). Die Speisekarte bot reichlich Auswahl an gutbürgerlichen Gerichten und verschiedenen Getränken. Sobald das Kölsch meines Freundes leer war, bekam er zügig ein neues. Fanden wir super! Die Sanitäranlagen waren auch sauber. Alles in allem war es ein netter Aufenthalt und wir würden dort bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Köln auf jeden Fall nochmal essen!

If your in need of a quick beer or a few. The patio is awesome. The food is very traditional for Germany. So come hungry and leave full as well as a bit tipsy.

Amazing pork knuckle and Kolsch. This is definitely worth a visit for both locals and tourists alike. Hands down this is the best pork dish I have had in cologne and also the best pork knuckle. 1.2kg of porky goodness and crackling so crispy it takes you to heaven eating it. I can recommend the schnitzel and the potatoes. Not overly priced and decent for a tourist trap. Fantastically old building. There is a lean toward locals by the staff but it's the same everywhere so service is a tad slow. Brilliant atmosphere.

Schweinshaxe was very good. Nice and crispy. Goes well with the kolsch

Arrived in cologne as a pass through and we were looking for some delicious local food, we definitely found it ! With some great beer(keeps coming unless you cover your glass with a coaster 😋) and very kind wait staff that spoke English fairly well!

You can find some traditional good food!

Our waiter spoke English very well and the food was amazing! Great atmosphere as well. If you're looking for a nice place to sit down and have a chilled lunch or dinner then I'd highly recommend visiting here!

We came here last year and it was good, and it didn't disappoint this time either. Still serving great food with friendly honest service. I'm sure we'll be back here again before we leave. Twice more actually!

Amazingly cool space with great kölsh, service and food. Definitely go check out the basement, very interesting from a historical perspective.

We enjoyed the restaurant. It has an enjoyable view of the plaza from the outside seating area.

Very busy place on a Sunday, We finally found a table and our waiter took our drinks order, Menus both in German & English. Drinks arrived 5 mins after order, Food order was taken and it arrived 55 minutes later. It was worth the wait because our food was tasty and freshly made. If you want to experience German food then i recommend here. Kolsch 0.2l was €1.90 a glass and very refreshing. There was 2 of us we shared the potato fritters with apple sauce, Schnitzel, fried potatoes and mushroom sauce, Blood Sausage (black pudding), Mash potatoes, Braised onions with apple sauce.

Really nice traditional cologne food. Staff speak English and there is an English menu available as well. Good prices and nice Kölsch of course.

We sat outside when actually the inside is much nicer. If you go for a pork knuckle, make sure you're hungry as they're quite large. The bratwurst was decent and the potatoes and gravy were delicious. The toilets were clean and probably the best I've ever been to in a pub.

Excellent Schwein Haxe and other local foods. Wiener Schnitzel was not to the standard as I prefer so stick to German dishes as Wiener Schnitzel is really Austrian. Nice outdoor seating and ample multi floor outdoor seating area. Staff was friendly and helpful would eat their again.

Perfect place for a (some) nice, cold kölsch beer. As well as good food, with a lot of options from where to choose. Frikandelle is delicious

(Translated by Google) The house is really great, a really great economy with lots of cozy rooms. Unfortunately, the food didn't completely convince us. The quality was just okay. Just as you know it from large inns: quantity instead of quality. The sauces are salty and otherwise relatively neutral in taste, as is known from the ready-to-use powder for mixing sauces. Red cabbage almost overcooked, mushy and also a bit tasteless. It was also a bit annoying that the waitress kept trying to sell a new roll of Kölsch despite the full glass. Even later, the coaster on the glass didn't help much to keep her from interrupting our conversation. (Original) Das Haus ist echt toll, eine richtig tolle Wirtschaft mit vielen gemütlichen Räumen. Das Essen hat leider uns allerdings nicht komplett überzeugt. Die Qualität war nur okay. So wie man es nun mal aus großen Wirtshäusern kennt: Masse statt Klasse. Die Soßen salzig und sonst relativ geschmacksneutral, wie man es vom Fertigpulver zum Anrühren von Soßen kennt. Rotkohl fast zerkocht, breiig und ebenfalls etwas geschmacklos. Zudem hat es etwas genervt, dass die Kellnerin trotz vollem Glas ständig eine neue Stange Kölsch verkaufen wollte. Auch später hat der Bierdeckel auf dem Glas kaum geholfen, sie davon abzuhalten unsere Konversation zu unterbrechen.

I bought a fried potato pancakes. It was disgusting, overfried and lots of oil. A dish with sausages and fries was the cheapest sausages ( probably bought from LIDL). Lastly I ate a starter which had minced meat and onion. Good topping but the bread below it was timeworn...

Good food+drin and great service

Staff was very rude. We asked if a dish was vegetarian, they said yes but we discovered it had bacon in it while eating. Apparently paying by card isn't possible in a restaurant this big... Hard to believe. NOT recommended.

Good place to have some German sausages and a couple of beers. Good location in Köln city center.

Nice setting but unnecessarily rude staff. We had beers and the bill came to €8. We asked to pay by card and were told "cash only". When we clearly didn't have cash on us, a card machine was suddenly available. The waiter was quite rude in telling us that it was "too much work" to take card payments. Needless to say we didn't tip and won't be back.

Where to begin, okay let's get the good part out of the way. The service was good, the waitress made sure we had everything we needed in time. Now the food... I could write a long detailed description of the four meals me and my friends ordered and how uniquely horrible each one of them was, but why bother. To give you a preview, the "marinated beef" for 19 euros was a cut of beef drenched in BBQ sauce. really, BBQ sauce. Who even does that? Total tourist trap with over priced lazy bad cooking. Save your money and get anything else (there is a subway closeby)

Delicious food and place. I had the stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes. I recommend it 100%.

We were looking a traditional german place in Köln and we found the perfect spot. We chose different kind of sausages and the Knöchel and everything was really tasty. The service was also very nice and the prices are ok.

Went lunch time for a nice hearty goulash soup... Priced 8 Euro!!!! Soup arrived after a long time luke warm and looking like a broundish dirty jello..asked the waiter to heat have it reheated... 12 minutes later same unpleasantly tasting jello arrived to the table, steaming this time. Stick to the beers and avoid the food!

Nice, traditional beer house, with good atmosphere. The vegan lentil soup was enjoyable, but could have been bigger. Would be happy to visit again

Excellent location, great local food and perfect service. To go there during the visit to Colonia

It was a very well maintained restaurant right next to a large Christmas market. Very centrally located. Service was nice and efficient. Ordered a pork knuckle and it was quite nice. Skin was crispy but the meat could have been cooked a tiny bit more.

Biggest and best pork knuckles I have ever eaten!the beer was good too! Located in a very central location

Super tasty local food and charming small beer glasses with local beer. Interesting history of the building as well. Highly recommend!

First things first: food is pretty good. We had the pork knuckle which was okay, the schnitzel was pretty good. We had a few beers, all in all good, at the end of the evening we asked for some tap water explicitly specifying tap water, our server returned with 2 glasses of water, mind you glasses, and not packaged bottles. Afterwards he brings us the bill and we have been charged 5+ euros for 2 glasses of water (mind you this is more than what 2 glasses of beer costed on the same bill) we were obviously disappointed but we decided not to say anything and just pay. While we were paying our server explicitly asked us for a tip, we normally would have but we already paid so much for the water, which was disappointing and not okay when explicitly asked for tap water, so we decided to forgo tipping, either way asking explicitly for a tip and putting your customer in an awkward spot is not cool. I think our server expected us to be American and unaware of tipping culture in Germany, which was not the case as we were visiting from NL where we only tip for good service and not for scammy behaviour. Left a bad taste in my mouth after a pretty decent meal.

If you come from a English speaking country DO NOT come here!!! Rudest staff I’ve ever experienced, refuse to serve us because we speak English. Poor Gluten Free options. Pork knuckle is poorly cooked, lacks flavor. Avoid this place!!!

Warning! Vorsict! We had lunch here which is your standard German fare.I ordered the sausage with potatoes which was decent, potatoes were dry. There are so many restaurants on the square, I would definitely seek those out and avoid this restaurant. Service was ok. Beware of the older lady with the pony tail. I read a review and I didn’t pay heed to his warning. She took my credit card and then asked me for a PIN number. I told her it was a credit card, she said it needed a pin. So I gave her another credit card same thing. Then we had to go inside with a debit card and pin. The whole thing seemed very sinister. Are they stealing pins? After I stopped at a shop and bought water with my card and no pin needed. In fact this is the first time in all my travels to Europe that I needed a pin for a credit card. Something crooked is happening here, Beware Vorsicht!! I went back to hotel and canceled all the cards I used here. I never write reviews and would usually not write a bad one but I felt my duty to warn people. Please let’s this be a warning for future travelers, don’t come here!!

Really crowded. Book advance a table! My other friends got a nice meal. My boyfriend ordered the same food as me, black angus beef as medium. He got a great steak. Me then.. well let’s put it this way. It took them 4 times to redo the steak and they didn’t get it medium. First was really well done, the second one really raw, third one raw and the fourth a bit better but still raw. Anyway they apologised and was really kind. Bad luck this time!
