    Great place for a quick bite, enjoyed the sandwich very much, have recreated it and been eating it home in America on two occasions. Love it! Great memory to keep maintained after being in Köln.

    Cute spot in the Belgian Quarter. Bio chicken is excellent, perfectly seasoned and moist with great dipping sauces. Service is friendly. Tip: they only accept cash.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I can not understand the negative recessions here, especially the toilet recessions ... does not belong here. My opinion: - Super Location - great food (see pictures) - Price / performance I would even give 7 stars - Suitable for every age group - Friendly guests - Champions League // Europa League // Bundesliga Location Can I recommend to everyone For me now my Stammbar in Cologne !!! (Original) Ich kann leider die negative Rezessionen hier nicht nachvollziehen, erst recht die Toiletten Rezessionen... gehört nicht hier rein. Meine Meinung: - Super Location - Super Essen (Siehe Bilder) - Preis/Leistung würde ich sogar 7 Sterne geben - Für jede alters Gruppe geeignet - Freundliche Gäste - Champions-League // Europa-League // Bundesliga Location Kann ich jedem Empfehlen Für mich mittlerweile meine Stammbar in Köln!!!

    Good place to hangout with friends with indoor and outdoor seating. Banana cake was yummy. Response to your comment: I also had grilled chicken which was not tasty and it was very dry.As I support new endeavours, I didn't mention the bad part in my previous comment, but just appreciated you guys. Anyways I have increased the rating with the hope you guys will work on the feedbacks provided! All the best.

    (Translated by Google) After paying we were asked if everything was ok. Since we had to wait more than 45 minutes for our food, although the waiter told us that it would take at most 20 minutes, we said that in the end again. Then the waiter was very naughty. That is not how it works. (Original) Nachdem Bezahlen wurden wir gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung war. Da wir mehr als 45 Minuten auf unser Essen warten mussten, obwohl der Kellner uns sagte, dass es höchstens 20 Min. dauern würde, sagten wir das am Ende nochmal. Daraufhin wurde der Kellner sehr frech. Das geht gar nicht.

    (Translated by Google) You MUST have been here if you visit Cologne or the Brüsseler Platz. When the weather is fine, you can sit outside in the middle of the hustle and bustle, or else indoors in the beautiful, narrow atmosphere with its wooden tables and cozy brick walls. The best roast chicken in the city, and the fries are also super crispy & yummy. And football is shown here regularly, but rather in the Kölsch Veedel style and not like in a sports bar. Cool store! :) (Original) Hier MUSS man gewesen sein, wenn man Köln bzw. den Brüsseler Platz besucht. Bei schönem Wetter sitzt man draußen mitten im bunten Treiben, oder ansonsten drinnen in der schönen, engen Atmosphäre mit den Holztischen und den gemütlichen Backsteinwänden. Das beste Brathähnchen der Stadt, und die Pommes sind ebenfalls super knusprig & lecker. Und hier wird regelmäßig Fussball gezeigt, aber eher im kölschen Veedel-Style und nicht wie in einer Sportsbar. Cooler Laden! :)

    Great authentic "Kneipe" in Cologne - one of the last originals. Very friendly staff, excellent regional food from regional suppliers. Definitely check it out - especially because this place is located at Brüsseler Platz - a unique "must-check-out" place.

    This bar is amazing! Limited drinks menu but the buzz and service is top level! Highly recommend this small bar!

    (Translated by Google) Cologne's most beautiful Kölsch pub! Although "Kölschkneipe" this very special mixture of unique style, feel-good atmosphere, drinking and eating pleasure and "kölsche Art" warm-hearted staff not rudimentary meets. A recommendation for every day and night! 12 out of 10 possible points :-) (Original) Köln's schönste Kölschkneipe! Obwohl "Kölschkneipe" diese sehr besondere Mischung von einzigartigem Stil, Wohlfühlatmosphäre, Trink-& Essgenuss nebst auf "kölsche Art" warmherzigen Personal nicht ansatzweise trifft. Eine Empfehlung zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit! 12 von 10 möglichen Punkten :-)

    Nice place but it's a pity there is not any Belgian beers with a name like this and with a location which is in the Belgian city District!! A bit disappointed then but one of the waitresses was very nice the first one who served us....the second one was a bit rude.

  • 1/5 Rihab C. 4 years ago on Google
    HORRIBLE waiter! I was literally yelled at by a bartender with dark curly hair because I opened a bottle of water that I had in my purse. He yelled in my face in German, I told him I didn’t understand and I wasn’t from here, and then he yelled even more. Basically I wasn’t allowed to have an open bottle of something I didn’t buy from this particular bar, which I understand. But I didn’t know this rule, I apologized, put the bottle away, and I told him, but he still continue to yell at me. Spend your money elsewhere! It’s not a special bar, and this particular waiter should be fired!

    The bartender was so rude to us, he made us feel small. We paid up, left and spent our money at the next place, and gave that guy a big tip for being nice to us. Skip this and go to Low Budget around the corner, they are actually nice there (and it’s a great bar).

    (Translated by Google) I really love the chicken from Brussels. Nice crunchy outside and inside very delicate. You have to try that. A Becks from the barrel or an ice cold Coke Zero and the evening is saved. Cheatdays can be sooooo great! ??? (Original) Ich stehe total auf die Hähnchen vom Brüsseler. Schön knusprig außen und innen sehr zart. Die müsst ihr probieren. Dazu ein Becks vom Faß oder ne eiskalte Coke Zero und der Abend ist gerettet. Cheatdays können sooo toll sein! ???

    (Translated by Google) Very cool bar with an extremely sympathetic owner! He was on public holiday only until 0:00 am on schedule ... we were still there at 2:00 pm :) and he did not even throw us out. Tip: Try Sailors rum with MANGO soda !! Hammer! I would give more stars! (Original) Sehr coole Bar mit einem extrem sympathischen Inhaber! Er hatte am Feiertag nur bis 0:00 Uhr planmäßig geöffnet...wir waren um 2:00 Uhr immer noch dort :) und er hat uns nicht mal raus geschmissen. Tipp: Sailors Rum mit MANGO Limo probieren!! Hammer! Ich würde mehr Sterne geben!

    (Translated by Google) As always very tasty - even if today the fries make something too hard (too thin). We will be back. Nice atmosphere & very nice staff. Half chicken & chips always works (Original) Wie immer sehr lecker - auch wenn heute die Pommes etwas zu hart machen (zu dünn). Wir kommen gerne wieder. Schöne Atmosphäre & sehr liebes Personal.

    If you want to be in 'Koeln' and being with the Koelner, pls dont skip this place. Either for a quick lunch or dinner and even for a beer during sport events (absolutely recommended) this place is more than a cool one. Do try their legendary grilled chicken! Price and service are acceptable.

    (Translated by Google) Who says that there isn't the best chicken in Cologne is lying! Here is the best rooster since the days of Hühner-Hugo, and it was in Düsseldorf! And then you also get Gaffel Wiess. Service also great. Top recommendation. Stay here longer. (Original) Wer sagt das es hier nicht das beste Hähnchen in Köln gibt, der lügt!

    (Translated by Google) Poor barbecue chicken It may have been nice for a farmer from Eifel, but what happened after death was funeral. After half an hour of waiting came outside partly (for example, wings) burned Backhendl. Also, the meat was dry. My guess: In order not to let the waiting time get any longer, you simply gave full throttle at the temperature. For almost every chicken roast I've visited so far (stationary or mobile) it tastes better. And at some point a football broadcast was made so loud that it was difficult to talk to oneself with screaming. It was warm, it did not draw, the drink prices were OK, so two points. (Original) Armes Grillhänchen Es mag bei einem eifeler Bauern schön gelebt haben, aber was nach dem Tod passierte war Leichenfledderei. Nach einer halben Stunde Warterei kam ein aussen teilweise (z.B.. Flügel) verbranntes Backhendl. Auch war das Fleisch trocken. Meine Vermutung: Um die Wartezeit nicht noch länger werden zu lassen, hat man einfach bei der Temperatur Vollgas gegeben. Bei so ziemlich jeder Hähnchenbraterei, die ich bisher aufgesucht habe (ob stationär oder mobil) schmeckte es besser. Und eine Fussballübertragung wurde irgendwann so laut gestellt, dass man sich selbst mit Schreien nur mühsam unterhalten konnte. Es war warm, es zog nicht, die Getränkepreise waren OK, daher zwei Punkte.
