    (Translated by Google) Update: Reduced from 5 to 3 stars due to various issues. (Confirmation in the review by Peter Zimmer; 1 star). The owner seems to have stayed (also across the street from Haus Töller), but the service/Köbes couple is no longer there (blonde woman & older gentleman). The two made the difference before and will be missed from the heart. The prices have inevitably risen and the slice of bread was no longer available with the knuckle. This also did not quite reach the previous level, which is probably due to the long waiting time and the resulting high expectations. Since the knuckle was previously unrivaled in Germany (own experience), it is still recommended. In addition, excellent Päffgen-Kölsch from wooden barrels is served. Small but fine card, whereby the knuckle mentioned is to be emphasized. What remains: Despite the very good food, one wishes to go back to the time before Corona in Fischenich (back then I could have given 6 stars without hesitation). Update: Recently the knuckle was much better again, but the brewery platter was a bit poor.. (Original) Update: Von 5 auf 3 Sterne reduziert aufgrund diverser Punkte. (Bestätigung in der Rezension von Peter Zimmer; 1 Stern). Der Besitzer scheint geblieben zu sein (ebenfalls Haus Töller gegenüber), allerdings ist das Service/Köbes-Paar nicht mehr da (blonde Frau & älterer Herr). Die beiden haben vorher den Unterschied gemacht und werden von Herzen vermisst. Die Preise sind zwangsweise gestiegen und die Scheibe Brot gab es nicht mehr zur Haxe dazu. Diese erreichte ebenfalls nicht ganz das vorherige Niveau, was aber an der langen Wartezeit und der somit hohen Erwartungshaltung liegen dürfte. Da die Haxe zuvor jedoch deutschlandweit konkurrenzlos war (eigene Erfahrungen), ist diese immer noch zu empfehlen. Zudem wird exzellentes Päffgen-Kölsch aus Holzfässern ausgeschenkt. Kleine aber feine Karte, wobei die angesprochene Haxe hervorzuheben ist. Was bleibt: Man wünscht sich trotz des sehr guten Essens die Zeit vor Corona im Fischenich zurück (damals hätte ich ohne Zögern 6 Sterne geben können). Update: Zuletzt war die Haxe wieder wesentlich besser, allerdings war die Brauhausplatte doch etwas dürftig..

    (Translated by Google) Those who did not know this restaurant before will of course not be able to find any differences; we do. The dishes, mainly goulash and guppes, no longer taste as good as usual. The coleslaw also seems to have had a different recipe. During the last visit in October 2020, it was still creamy and a poem in terms of taste, but today it presents itself rather dry and bland in taste. In terms of price, some things have also been corrected upwards, which might still be justifiable if it tasted as good as last year. But it doesn't. Even the grilled knuckle no longer keeps what it promises. Otherwise crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, there is something on the plate that has nothing to do with the product that was previously known. We are also very concerned about the fact that the enchanting soul, in the form of the innkeeper Biggi, is no longer there! This is really a shame! What we were most annoyed about, however, is that the Köbes wanted to charge us five beers more than we actually consumed. It was the same at the next table. Not a little at 1.90 euros per glass. We're not coming any more. Still all the best! (Original) Wer diese Gaststätte vorher nicht kannte, wird natürlich keine Unterschiede feststellen können; wir schon. Die Speisen, vornehmlich Gulasch und Guppes, schmecken nicht mehr so gut wie sonst. Der Krautsalat scheint ebenfalls eine andere Rezeptur bekommen zu haben. Beim letzten Besuch im Oktober 2020 noch sahnig und geschmacklich ein Gedicht, präsentiert er sich heute eher trocken und fade im Geschmack. Preislich hat sich ebenfalls Einiges nach oben korrigiert, was gegebenenfalls noch vertretbar wäre, wenn es denn so gut schmeckte, wie noch im Vorjahr. Tut es aber nicht. Auch die Grillhaxe hält nicht mehr das, was sie verspricht. Sonst knusprig von außen und zart von innen, befindet sich etwas auf dem Teller, das nichts mit dem Produkt zu tun hat, welches vorher bekannt war. Zudem sind wir sehr betroffen über den Umstand, dass die bezaubernde Seele, in Form der Gastwirtin Biggi, nicht mehr vor Ort ist! Das ist wirklich sehr schade! Worüber wir uns aber am meisten geärgert haben ist, dass der Köbes uns fünf Bier mehr berechnen wollte, als wir tatsächlich verzehrt haben. Am Nebentisch war es ebenfalls so. Bei 1,90 Euro pro Glas nicht wenig. Wir kommen nicht mehr. Trotzdem alles Gute!

    With delicious Päffgen Kölsch, you can enjoy the best knuckle in the city here. Unreservedly recommended!

    Nice place. A very local person's bar. Not crowded at Carnival but still a fun place to be. And had the only Kölsch beer we like: Päffgen. They are one of 4 places on the world that serve it. Come and visit!

    Delicious and cozy. Grilled knuckle and guppes (goulash with caps)😋

  • 4/5 Fabian H. 5 years ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Very good knuckle, although I'm more of a fan of the pork knuckle. Special praise should be given to the Köbes for this. Attentive, quick and friendly with the Hecken Cologne style. Exactly how it should be!!!

    Herrlich alte Kneipe in der man sich sofort wohl fühlt. Die Karte ist sehr übersichtlich, aber man bekommt alles, was man in einer Kölsch Kneipe erwartet. Das frisch gezapfte Päffgen für 1,90 Euro ist überraschend günstig. 6,90 Euro für nen Halve Hahn eher über meiner Preisvorstellung. Der Köbes ist aufmerksam und für nen Spruch zu haben. (Translated by Google) Wonderful old pub where you immediately feel comfortable. The menu is very clear, but you get everything you would expect in a Kölsch pub. The freshly tapped Päffgen for 1.90 euros is surprisingly cheap. 6.90 euros for a Halve Hahn rather above my price idea. Köbes is attentive and ready for a joke.

    A waitress like her couldn't be better. The food was very good. Never had a better knuckle. The Guppes was fresh coleslaw with goulash on it, slightly spicy and also very tasty. Small card but good

    A young woman runs the entire store while serving. And the Kölsch always comes at the right time. Respect!

  • 5/5 Rolf H. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We ate pork knuckle and, on recommendation, guppes (goulash on coleslaw). Both very tasty, brought quickly and available in sufficient quantities. You don't have to say anything about Kölsch 👌 (Original) Wir haben Haxe und auf Empfehlung Guppes (Gulasch auf Krautsalat) gegessen. Beides sehr lecker, schnell gebracht und in ausreichender Menge vorhanden. Zum Kölsch muss man nichts sagen 👌

    Excellent typical local brewery. Characteristic place where it seems that time has stopped, with the custom of marking the beers on the coaster and even the final bill is written there. Very nice. If you are hungry I recommend the pork shank or goulash; they were absolutely the best of all the places I ate. The girl who runs the place is incredibly kind. She does everything herself, so be patient and wait for the preparation to be done on the spot. The waiting times are long if you want to eat, but it's absolutely worth it. I will happily return there on my next trip.
