Belgischer Hof - Köln

Lovely set of dining rooms looking out onto a small leafy courtyard. I had a very good dish of rabbit saddle with mushroom dumplings which was delightfully presented and not as heavy and rustic as that might sound. Charming service. Not a budget option but very good quality for the money. I would definitely return.

Mit Glück wieder einen Tisch bekommen. Man sollte besser vorab reservieren. Flammkuchen extrem lecker, marinierter Oktopuss ebenfalls. Lammcarre perfekt sous vide gegart. Gute Weinkarte und sehr nette Bedienung.

Situé dans une impasse, ce restaurant, aux différentes salles est bien agréable; le service est attentionné. Le repas, à la carte, était conforme à notre goût

We had been wandering around a virtually deserted Cologne city centre on the Saturday before Easter Sunday and perhaps it's hardly surprising that most places were closed. On the advice of a former resident we ventured to the Belgian quarter and came upon this little gem of a restaurant. It seems the restaurant is split in two by a courtyard and we found a table in the side that housed the bar and kitchen. The staff were very accommodating and found us an English menu, which is always preferable to suffering the trial and error of my schoolboy German! We enjoyed a fine bottle of wine recommended by a waitress and had traditional and very tasty Flammküche. The dessert that followed was equally tasty and the whole bill was very reasonable, coming in at less than €60 all in. The only downside was that the tables are very closely packed in so you will get acquainted with your fellow diners.

Having heard so much and was looking forward to enjoying a nice meal, the place was a terrible disappointment to say the least! The best part of the meal was the traditional "Leckere Flammkuchen aus dem Steinofen". Was disappointed with the main course (the 24-hour lamb shank), which was poorly presented, smothered with roasted onions and mashed potatoes. My friend had the goat cheese as a starter, which was just OK and the Zuchini for main course, which also was barely passable. Extensive wine selection. Service was good but the place is overly crowded and loud. It truly does not deserve the rating it has on TripAdvisor!
