A difficult experience

There's only one vegan option on the menu (on the breakfast menu there's not even one), plant milk is only available for an extra charge. The staff was very friendly but not flexible enough to prepare a simple Granola with oat milk instead of yoghurt, for example. We left. Criticism on review platforms is met with snarky responses and guests are mocked. Definitely no recommendation.

Pros: Located right next to Cologne Cathedral, Friendly staff

Cons: Only one vegan option, Inflexible kitchen, Can't handle criticism

Lecker aber wenig

Der Service war nett und schnell. Die Süßkartoffel-Kimchi-Ravioli waren sehr lecker aber leider etwas wenig.

Excellent service

I visited the restaurant for a business dinner with about 100 people, and had requested vegan options in advance. A varied starter platter as well as a tasty vegetable stir-fry main course were served. The food was tasty and filling, although I either missed a dessert or it wasn't offered. But since I was already full, I didn't inquire about this. The service was very attentive and helpful throughout the entire visit.

Elegant fine food in an art gallery

Has several vegan options, but ask the staff to check if there is honey in the salad dressing 🙂. There is not a lot of choice in terms of vegan options in Köln and many waiters are outright rude when you ask 😳so these guys are a welcome presence.

Pros: Helpful friendly staff, Complementary bread with meal, free wifi, Several options, suit a range of tastes

Cons: It’s a good idea to book, A bit expensive , The art gallery is amazing btw

Pros: lovely setting, great location, friendly stuff

Cons: only 1 vegan option, only 1 plant milk alternative
