About this restaurant

  • Fancy
Visit the most impressive brewhouse in Cologne!
With the renovation and reopening of our restaurant in spring 2008 we have given back a piece of urban tradition from the “Wilhelmian-Period” to the people of Cologne, as well as to the visitors of the city.
Enjoy the relaxed brewery culture in cologne. “Gaffel am Dom” is a brewery of typical Rhenish character: Bourgeois, hearty and cozy. Our waitors are positive, cheerful and attentive.
You can feel the sunny cologne spirit everywhere. This is where the metropolitan flair of the European hub of Cologne meets the village-like tranquility of Cologne: Spacious, bright areas with long counters, benches and tables on the one hand, cozy corners and retreats on the other.
We look forward to your visit!

    Wir waren nach Erfahrungen aus der Vergangenheit etwas skeptisch, waren aber positiv überrascht! Der Köbes war aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich! Hat uns gut gefallen!

    Unsere Bedienung und das Essen waren beides gut. Getränke wie Essen kamen schnell zu uns. Den Empfang haben wir uns allerdings etwas netter vorgestellt. Der Kellner, der für draußen zuständig war, war unfreundlich. Tische zusammen schieben lt. ihm ein NO GO! Also saßen wir zwar zusammen und doch wieder nicht. Wo liegt hier das Problem?

    Gaffel am Dom ist der perfekte Treffpunkt für einen Abend mit Freunden im Brauhaus in Köln. Reservierung über Open Table klappt problemlos - sogar unser Wunschtisch wurde berücksichtigt. Essen & Kölsch super, Preisleistung passt und der Service - inkl. Einzelabrechnung - einfach prima. Immer gerne wieder!

    Immer wieder schön. Björn Heuser live plus Gaffel Ambiente. Kurzweilig. Service stoisch , humorvoll. Preis OK, Essen, Reibekuchen, wirklich gut. Kleiner Nachteil, unglaublich laut. Ist halt ein Brauhaus und zum Reden sollte man nicht unbedingt das Gaffel wählen. Für alles andere auf jeden Fall!
