Reviews
delicious steak and nicely cooked, service was prompt and consistently checking up with us if we need anything. Vibe is very nice due to its location. Minor point felt like they wanted us to leave as soon as we finished food.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. One of the best steak restaurants, period. Steaks are cooked to tender perfection, service is friendly and patient. This place is a must visit.
A lovely venue with a great vibe.
We received attentive service from our friendly waiter.
The best steak I have had in Europe in many years, with perfectly cooked vegetables. Wash it all down with a few bottles of smooth Malbec. This should makes for a beautiful evening one would think.
There was a huge BUT though....
At these prices the last thing you expect is exceptionally slow service from the kitchen, and when I say slow, I mean SLOW!!! Then on top you have to remind the poor waiter none of the sauces ordered came with the meals.
PS: I have never seen a red chimichurri in my life, green yes, not red....

What an excellent restaurant, I believe one of the best in Cologne. The place was clean and with a traditional German touch. We ordered fillet, Mediterranean salad and cheeseburger. Everything we tasted was exquisite. Service helpful and friendly.Highly recommended 👌
Zu dem Essen kann man nur sagen - Perfekt! Für Fleischliebhaber ist alles dabei. Wir waren zu fünft dort essen und alles war auf den Punkt gegrillt! Preislich gehört das Colina definitiv zur Uperclass, dafür war der Service aber auch sehr gut. Der ganze Laden ist ein bisschen dunkel, was mich hier leider nicht die volle Punktzahl geben lässt. Fazit - wer für gutes Essen gerne etwas tiefer in die Tasche greift, der ist hier genau richtig!
Ein toller Abend wie bei Freunden. Exzellentes Essen hervorragender Service und Preis/Leistung völlig in Ordnung. Sorry wir kommen wieder🤩🤗
Als großer Steakliebhaber war ich kürzlich in einem der besten Steakrestaurants 🥩 in Kölle und ich muss sagen, ich war absolut begeistert. Schon beim Betreten des Restaurants wurden wir freundlich vom Kellner begrüßt und er erklärte uns die Karte sehr gut und gab uns hilfreiche Empfehlungen.
Das Steak, das ich bestellt habe, war einfach köstlich. Es war perfekt zubereitet, saftig und hatte einen unglaublichen Geschmack.
Neben dem fantastischen Essen war auch der Service ausgezeichnet. Der Kellner war aufmerksam, freundlich und sehr professionell. Er sorgte dafür, dass es uns an nichts fehlte und war immer bereit, uns bei Fragen oder Wünschen zu helfen.

Wir waren nun schon zum dritten Mal hintereinander mit dem Essen im Colina und dem Service nicht zufrieden. Das Fleisch hatte schon wieder eine miserable Qualität. Das T-Bone Steak war ohne das Filetstück, die Rumpsteaks waren faserig und alle Fleischstücke lauwarm. Die Folienkartoffeln ebenso. Von Service braucht man gar nicht reden, denn den gab es nicht. Die Hauptgerichte kamen und unser Tisch stand noch voll von den Vorspeisentellern. Nach Getränken wurde überhaupt nicht gefragt. Und das, obwohl das Lokal nur zur Hälfte ausgelastet war. Vor Jahren war das mal ein tolles Steakhaus, aber die Zeiten sind vorbei. Das war definitiv unser letzter Besuch im Colina. Schade ums Geld.
We had a late dinner and everything was wonderful. Had the whole grilled bream and my wife had the lasagna. Service was good and the waiter was very friendly and helpful.
Stay away from this place! Horrible service and over priced items! I was very disappointed at our experience here. Apparently we went there near closing time, they said they are open and seated us, but then a waiter (named Hakim) came and was very rude to us! He was upset to get a last set of customers! The management needs to train Hakim, because he doesn't know how to serve customers! He made us uncomfortable and created a bad experience for us in our last night in Cologne. If it wasn't too hard to find a place for dinner before 10pm in Cologne, we would have left immediately!
Not to mention they charged us 10 euros for a bottle of still water!! Never paid this much in a restaurant at Europe or anywhere else for water! It's rediculous!
I strongly suggest if they don't feel like serving customer, they should just say they are closed rather than accepting them and disrespecting them! Also, they should reconsider their water pricing! It's more expensive than beer!!

The food was awesome, we enjoyed the fresh oyster. However, the service was lousy 👎🏽, we ordered a few main dishes, like fresh Oyster, mixed Grill and tomahawk beef. We received everything except for the tomahawk beef. The waiter didn’t tell us that the food out of stock. Instead, we just kept waiting until we called them. The fresh oyster supposed to be appetizer, instead, the food was served all at once ..OMG!
Wanna watch out for the small entrance. Restaurant on the 1st floor.
Food is good. Service is relatively fast. Lunch menu offers on weekdays.
We had regular cheeseburger, sirloin steak and pasta aglio e olio. All the dishes tasted good. Prices are fine. A recommendation if you're in the area and feeling hungry 👍🏽 (7.5/10)

The food was excellent. The service was fast. We were surprised, since it was very crowded. Highly recommend Tagliatelle with salmon in cream sauce. Prices are suitable for a place near Rhein in the centre of Köln.
Terrible service.
The waiter didn't make any effort to speak in English (or even Spanish as the name suggests).
Prepare to argue about the price because he will try to charge you more than is on the menu.

Incredibly unprofessional waiting staff, I highly do not recommend. My mother and I were sent table to table and waiters would tell us no this place is taken, and would send us to another table to be told that it was also reserved. To which we finally asked which table was free and we were not given a direct answer. Even though it was a busy time, a level of professionalism is at least expected. We eventually left and went to a nicer restaurant that is just a few meters away.
Sehr schlechter Service. Waiters are unfriendly towards Chinese people. Its super hot inside in summer. Beef Entrecore is overpriced for such small amount of meat. They also asked for 10% tip and told us its German law based. They just took 10 euro of each of us who spent 60 euro on meal/person. We went out and other German eaters told us that we are getting scammed because there is no such law that Germany says you must pay tip for bad service.Its only cutural norm based. They also saw us getting threated really bad and told us those waiters talked behind our back Chinesisch this, Chinesisch that. Wow, how dare you ask 10 euro trinkgeld per person while talking behind our back. Never come here to dine again. We are Chinese who grow in Europe and getting treated like this. Gonna written reviews on multi Chinese social media and travel guide community to warn my people never dine here while traveling Germany. Or something better. Dont come to Germany. Go instead of The Netherlands or other places where people are open minded and respect each other.
I have eaten a lot of good and expensive steaks, but this restaurant was the best one yet! And it wasnt even that expensive! Definitely eat at this steakhouse if you are nearby!
Delicious meal with a great atmosphere, really nice waiter who was extremely pleasant and helpful. The steak was.cooked perfectly and the peppercorn sauce was really special.
After the owner review asking for the bill i've edited for a full one star, just to certify the "quality" of the service (i'm in Koln every year since 15 years for Gamescom so I don't have to show anything to prove anything. Learn manners
Everything was nice and worth the Money!!!
I had a rather disappointing experience. The service left much to be desired, with a rude and unprofessional waiter who seemed more interested in being bothersome than in serving. Additionally, we ordered 200 and 300-gram fillets that turned out to be identical, both raw despite requesting medium. Despite asking for a change from baked potatoes to French fries, we were served both incorrect sides and were charged a high price for the hardly sufficient portion of fries we received.
The lack of communication was evident from the start, as they didn't even bother to inquire how I preferred my meat cooked. I had to repeat my order multiple times before the waiter seemed to pay attention. Furthermore, the bread they offered as an appetizer only served to increase the wait for the food.
Our choice of ham with melon was also ill-fated, as the melon lacked flavor and freshness. In summary, my experience at Toro Negro restaurant was awful, and I have no intention of returning in the future.

A shame... We could not eat there because we just asked if one salad included meat or not (my wife eats it but i don't). The waiter invited us to leave the place before trying to understand our request. Rude and deceiving.
A place to avoid.

Food is far too salty everything else is brilliant
We were welcomed with a smile and overall service was great.
The burgers we ordered, were quite large and tasted good, though the curly fries which came with it were a bit on the salty side.
Our steak was as requested 'medium well'. Then last but not least the mixed grill consisted of a small sausage, a strip of pork, chicken fillet, and a burger paddy, which tasted well seasoned but were all on the salty side. The baked potatoe with sour cream and chives was awesome.
They also serve fish and pasta here.

Ordered the surf and turf which consist of a 180g black Angus steak, 2 king prawns and some kind of baked potato with cheese. For drinks, I had a non alcoholic mocktail called Fashion Lady. The meal was delicious and the portion was just right. The serving time was quick and the waiters were friendly.
All in all, a standard steakhouse located within the shopping area for a quick lunch/dinner. The restaurant is located on the first floor and there is a lift for wheelchair accessibility.

Service was fine. Nothing to complain. Food was very and veryyy average, especially for the price…It looked good when served but it wasn’t that good. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Potatoes were meh. Steak was ok but really nothing worthy for that price
From the outside this place and others in the same street look like the ‘good, expensive’ places but it’s just a typical tourist trap. And I noticed there were more foreigners than Germans at the place.. So that is not a good sign either
Better find the more local places when you want the good food. We went somewhere else next day, a more local and hidden place and it was way and way better
Edit: I almost forgot to mention.. When we finished eating, I saw aloooot of rats walking around the terrace

Great food! The location is also very accessible to the nearby tourist spots. The service was also very good—our waiter was very friendly and accommodating!
The food was great also service was very nice, I’ll definitely come again :)
Worst Brazilian restaurant ever! There were so many things wrong, I can not even think from where to start.
- I had to continuously ask for things, like Feijoada, Arroz, they didn't even want to bring Farofa. Ohh my gosshh, the waiters were confused when I asked for Farofa. Then I found out that they were not even Brazilians, just a bunch of Portuguese and I was told the manager was Brazilian.
- The meat was not coming often, I had to keep often asking for the waiters for it. Jeeeezzzuz, that's a Churrascaria! What is wrong with them??? (Answer: they had no idea what is like a real Churrascaria 😳)
- When they were cutting the meat on my plate, there was nothing to collect the meat, so the meat was simply falling into my plate.
- The waiters were not happy that we were asking them for meat, feijoada, etc, so they kept looking strange at us.
- We had enough, and when they asked for feedback I had to be honest and I gave them a constructive feedback so they can improve. The waiter got really angry and the environment was really not friendly.
In summary: WORST "BRAZILIAN" RESTAURANT EVER. And there's nothing Brazilian in that place.

Absolutely perfect!
Great steaks & lovely service.
I always want my steak rare, but it is actually rare to get it red and warm. This one was perfect!
Will definitely visit again.

Top 3 best steak I ever had in my life!
Passion from the owner that stood over the flames himself and cooked one of the best cuts I ever tasted. With a lovely atmosphere and a kind and serviceminded waitstaff that gave us an unforgettable experience. That resultet in booking us another trip to Köln!

Eindringling ! Be careful! The waiter is very unpleasant, he shouts at customers. The food is bad and they switch menu / order more expensive dishes than the ones you actually want. When I complained at the moment of paying the bill, he tried to say it was my partner’s fault (!!!). I would definitely not recommend this place to anybody.
One of the worst experiences ever in Germany. I was with my family, we had already been to another cafe nearby and they had eaten there, hence I was alone in ordering a meal while they wanted drinks and dessert here. The waiter (old guy) who was nice enough when handing the menus, told us extremely rudely that we "must order food not just drinks" (contrary to the fact that I had already ordered schnitzel and fries and was ordering 2 desserts and 2 beers along with). Got up and left immediately.
Absolutely horrible experience.
No wine menu (only "red" / "white" / beer as the house recommends)
No questions about the cooking of the meat
Rump steak hard as a piece of wood.
No payment with cards, only cash. Try ask for a receipt and you will get a handwritten paper sheet.

A little slow on the service but they were pretty busy when we were there so will give some grace. Steak was great. Veggie side is just onions, so go with fries.
One of the best meals we had on holiday. The small square was intimate and there was a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious and the host charming. Bravo👏
Very good restaurant, but prices are steep.
We came to eat steak. One piece of meat and we got it. And it was super. Good and friendly waiter. The food was perfect, and the meat was really good. 💯
Maybe I was just unlucky, but after craving for Brazilian food for sometime I unfortunately didn’t find in this place the authentic experience I know. The floor smelled off, the salad table was empty, the meat dry. I have no plans on going back.
The food was good, but not special. The waiter was extremely impolite with a tendency to become even aggressive! He was constantly switching from English to German and wanted to make us feel uncomfortable. He made several mistakes, misunderstood the order, but didn't even think of making a simple apology! It is really a shame places like this to spoil the overall good impression of Cologne!
Thiefs! At the end of the meal I asked the waiter and the chief waiter if the check was correct and they couldn't even answer my doubts about what was I paying. It results in 3,90 euros for a glass of tap water shared between 2 people (wonder how much a bottle costs) and 11 euros "diverse speisen" that weren't able to describe. Absolutely not recommended
Food was good but expensive. The waiter added 30 euros to the bill without telling me. When i wanted to pay he quickly grabbed my pass and tried to use it. After i payed 30 euros tip because of this. He asked for A NOTHER cash only tip. When i didn't give him that he threw away his menu he had in his and and walked away mad. Good food, Decent atmosphere but BAD SERVICE
The food was acceptable. But the service quite unpleasant. The cutlery and the table were dirty and greasy. I saw a hair on my plate... they charged us 6 euros for two glasses of water from the sink and paying with card is not acceptable. Not recommended at all.
Great cuisine. Traditional German food. Grilled Trout was superb.
Great steak in a really nice quiet environment. If you want somewhere a bit quieter for a steak overlooking the high street. Felt nice and fancy but not too fancy. Curly fries, coleslaw and steak all good.
Wonderful stakehouse in the heart of Cologne! We got some large fillet steaks and an assortment of sides, plus sauces, and everything we got was a winner. The particular standouts were the mac & cheese, the coleslaw and of course the steak itself, which was cooked to perfection. Great ambience, and the location is excellent.
Good restaurant. We were late, but they did not mind. They were very friendly. Nice ambiance. Food is good, especially the lamb! Would definitely eat here again.
Terrible place!!! We waited a very long time for the meat to be brought to us. It turned out that all the meat was overdried and oversalted. The waiting time between serving different types and varieties of meat is very long. That action, which is called the "Brazilian show", is just the exit of a couple (a guy and a girl), who trampled in one place for 5 minutes. Only a few people can see this "beautiful" show, as it is simply impossible for other clients. Having ordered a beer, we waited for a long time, but it turned out that they forgot about the order. And this happened every 3 times. Very disappointed. We were in similar restaurants in different countries and were always satisfied and full. But never to this place again!
Great restaurant for plenty of choices of types/cuts of meat. Staff was very friendly trying to answer our English questions. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 on Christmas Eve. We ordered Ribeye, Rack of Lamb, Wild Boar, Argentina Filet. The mushroom cream sauce was good. I loved the herbs on the vegetables. Price €20-€30 for dinners. I would recommend.
This place had the potential of 4 or even 5 stars but I ended up with 2 for the following reasons.
After arriving, it took a long time to even order drinks, let alone food. We kept having to move tables as they kept trying to squeeze in larger groups (if they don't fit, don't bother trying). We ended up pushed right up close to the entrance/exit. This meant we were either always cold, or breathing in cigarette smoke.
When we eventually ordered our food, it took roughly an hour before we received it. The quality of the steak was ok, but the extras (chips, veggies, sauces etc) were all cheap, wholesale items. Which was a shame, because if you look at the prices, you'd probably, like me, be expecting excellent quality products on your plate.
The food was horribly cold. I don't think it was the chefs fault, it even tasted like it had been sat waiting for ages. And that wasn't just my meal.
Even though the Christmas Markets are super expensive to eat, it still worked out cheaper than at this steakhouse. At least the food at the markets is hotter, fresher, better quality, quicker and CHEAPER (but not cheap).
I do not recommend this restaurant.

Excellent place and food. All dishes are prepared as if you were in Argentina. The meat was perfect (I have ordered a Bife de Chorizo). The wine selection is also very good and they do serve the classic Malbec, very traditional from Argentina.
Recommended for sure if you are looking for a good steakhouse.

Dined in the terrace area overlooking the Rhine. Amazing location, friendly staff and great seafood. The pizza was also tasty. Steak was unfortunately under cooked against my request for medium rare. Chalking it up to the cook having an off night. The total experience was very enjoyable.
Excellent restaurant. The corn soup is amazing and another dishes
I ordered their 400 gm Entrecôte and it tasted good. The herbal butter added additional flavour to it.
Creame Brulee tasted also good.
The server was nice and friendly.
Would certainly recommend it to others.

Poor quality and taste. Service was fine I guess. If haven't seen the pizzas the guys had ordered next to us I would give 1 star. And please play some music appropriate for the restaurant. Why do I need to hear ABBA?
They got our orders wrong and they made us pay for the wrong orders as well. The waiter was very rude and hasty. I do not advice this place.
Pretty good place. It's an all you can eat buffet. Once you get a plate they start bringing all sorts of cuts. They also have beautiful belly dancers. It's a little hot in there so don't wear warm clothes
The restaurant is 10 min faar from Köln central Station, has nice Büfett with a lot of wariety of food . Every 10 Minutes the nice waiter come at table and bring different types of meat . For 2 persons we paid 70 Euros, but the food is very good and tasty. I will return for sure. The style of restaurant is beautiful and clean . Obrigada! Thank you!
Very good food, also a well served vegan rodízio option. The staff was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend.
Overall a negative experience. The food was tasty but so different from what we ordered, even when we pointed to the picture of exactly what we wanted! We pointed to the crispy pork leg but was given a stewed one. Ordered for suckling pig but given pork chops. Service was non-existent and the waiter even demanded for a tip when we paid!
In the heart of Cologne, an Original Papa Joe's pub, with the recipes 90 years old or even more. Nice adorned , stylish, original, can bring you back in time at the beginning of the 20th century. Cheap food, cheap drinks. The highlights are the music automatic which plays from time to time, with a festival of sounds, original German songs and not only! Faboulous, this is a lifetime experience that visitors must try!
Location: 5 stars
speed of service -100 star!!!!! So sloooooow.... our neighbor table got their drink l, their bread , their salads... we got our water and then 20+ minutes of nothing.......
Another couple couldn’t wait any longer for their food and asked to pay their drinks and left ...
And cash only!

Good value, food and very attentive service. First time visitors last weekend with people who'd been before and will definitely be going back. Much better than the star rating suggests based on our experience
The steak was cooked perfectly!! ..If you consider medium to be medium rare, which they do in Europe. We also ordered sautéed mushrooms..garlicky and delicious. This place is kind of small next to the touristy places next door or down the street but the steaks were excellent and the service was great.
