👍👍 This place was incredible. I've had the chance to eat at a few different Michelin star restaurants and the experience here is more than what you'd expect from a typical 1 Michelin star restaurant. Superb experience with an incredible menu to match a wonderful atmosphere. People often mention restaurant, Michelin, service,

    It is not easy to be located next to a two Michelin starred restaurant and started a fine dining place. I might sound weird but the atmosphere and ambiance at Astrein is way cozier and more elegant than its neighbored restaurant. They are just the opposites. We got 3 courses that day and enjoyed every single bite. Well, if I ever dare to complain, I would just say, I got too many potatoes in my plate and wished more greens instead. Anyway, I won’t wonder if the Michelin guys reward them their first star in the coming months as both the food and service should match the red book‘s standard.

    This was really great!!! Thanks for a great evening. Only thing I regret is choosing for the 4 course menu instead of the 5 course. Great wines served by friendly staff, good portions, all good. Thanks again.

    (Translated by Google) Star cuisine for the home, simply good. From the starter to the dessert, completely round and tasty. The preparation succeeds thanks to detailed instructions without any problems. We'll definitely come to the restaurant after the end of the pandemic. From my point of view, the price-performance ratio is completely okay. (Original) Sterneküche für zu Hause, einfach gut. Von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert komplett rund und lecker. Die Zubereitung gelingt dank ausführlicher Anleitung ohne Probleme. Wir kommen nach dem Ende der Pandemie mit Sicherheit ins Restaurant. Preis-Leistung ist aus meiner Sicht voll in Ordnung.

    (Translated by Google) When food becomes art ... Every connoisseur should not miss this restaurant. Of course, the dishes are of the highest quality. The service really tries to make the evening as nice as possible for every guest and they do it excellently. You don't miss anything and you will be pampered from all sides. An evening that is like a vacation for the soul. It's worth it if you want to experience something special! Thanks to the Astrein team for an unforgettable evening. (Original) Wenn Nahrung zur Kunst wird... Jeder Genießer sollte sich dieses Restaurant nicht entgehen lassen. Natürlich sind die Speisen auf höchster Ebene der Qualität. Der Service ist wirklich bemüht den Abend für jeden Gast so schön wie möglich zu gestalten und es gelingt Ihnen ausgezeichnet. Es fehlt einem an nichts und man wird von allen Seiten verwöhnt. Ein Abend der einem Urlaub für die Seele gleicht. Es lohnt sich falls man mal etwas besonderes Erleben will! Danke an das Team vom Astrein für einen unvergesslichen Abend.

    We spent about 2 hours having lunch and enjoyed every moment! The whole atmosphere is splendid, starting from the ambient and nice service to the way the dishes are served and of course its taste. Highly recommended!

    One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The quality of the food, the taste ... extremely well balanced in all aspects. The wine pairing exceptionally good and full of positive surprises. The service did an excellent job, friendly, easy, attentive. Highly recommended!

    They have nice tableware! The service is warm and welcoming. The tasting menu is well developed. Not all of it was up to my taste. For example, the mullet fish had blood oranges in the garnish that felt out of place, and zucchini were shaped like long pasta which is not easy to eat on a shallow plate. On the other hand, the pâté in aspic was phenomenal! Overall, the place is definitely worth checking out, and I would come again in future.

    Classical and comprehensible. With this philosophy, Eric Werner was awarded a Michelin ⭐️ shortly after the opening the astrein in Cologne. Apparently, collecting stars is something of a hobby for Eric. He first received a Michelin star in 2011 for the Spatzenhof in Wermelskirchen, making him the youngest Michelin-starred chef in Germany at the time. Together with Eri Arnecke, he earned two stars at the Residence in Essen. This was followed by another Michelin star at the restaurant "Himmel un Äd" in the Hotel Wasserturm in Cologne. With his own restaurant, the astrein, Eric has been traveling in the galaxy of stars for almost 3 years now. In his restaurant he serves dishes that are easy to understand and that every guest is immediately familiar with. The dishes are always seasonally composed, with the aim of infusing harmonious taste experiences with international accents. Apparently, he succeeds in this very well without coming across as pretentious or arrogant. The astrein itself has a very pleasant atmosphere. Haste and extravagance are nowhere to be found here. Eric and his team place the utmost importance on a relaxed interaction with their guests. The 'eat-or-die mentality' simply does not exist in here. Creatively and very professionally, in the case of intolerances or aversions to certain components of a dish, substitutions are made in the kitchen in a playful manner. Here, the guest truly calls the shots. This is not something that can be taken for granted nowadays. The wine list is well-equipped with exciting and outstanding wines. With very fairly calculated prices, a visit is definitely worthwhile!

    (Translated by Google) The price-performance ratio is right. We felt very comfortable, only explaining the menus was a bit quick and hectic. (Original) Das Preis-Leistung Verhältnis passt. Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, nur das erklären der Menüs war etwas schnell und hektisch.

    (Translated by Google) We were unlucky with the table right by the front door. The smokers kept walking in and out and the smoke pulled in. But: very dedicated service, great wine accompaniment and a wonderful menu. (Original) Mit dem Tisch, direkt an der Eingangstür, hatten wir Pech. Ständig liefen die Raucher rein und raus und der Qualm zog rein. Aber: Sehr engagierter Service, tolle Weinbegleitung und ein wunderbares Menü.
