I had an amazing date night with my wife! The food and service were top-notch. The host was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, without being too overbearing. Definitely recommend if you are I the area.

Spectacularly presented very tasty food. Impeccable service. Worthy of its Michelin Star. We did the full 7 course degustation but could only get through 6 courses. They very gladly removed the last course from the bill. Would definitely come back.

An absolute must if you are in Cologne. Great view, good food and service. Tip: Don't go for the wine package as the sommelier is not very generous. Better order 1 bottle for the same price. The sommelier is very knowledgeable and has very good taste. Really trustworthy to recommend a good wine.

About the restaurant

Directly opposite Cologne Cathedral, the Hanse Stube offers innovative French cuisine with regional influences. The gourmet restaurant has been awarded several prizes for its excellent cuisine and first-class service. Chef Joschua Tepner prepares unique taste experiences. His menu pays homage to both tradition and innovation. The Hanse Stube team provides excellent service and pampers its guests; head waiter Franz-Georg van Hall personally carves at the guests’ table and sommelier Robert Demers finds a wine to pair with any style of food. The interior of the Hanse Stube is characterized by timeless elegance with cozy sofa corners, filigree wooden chairs and various contemporary and historical paintings on the wood-paneled walls. The two side rooms, "Mirror Salon" and "Fish Salon", can be booked exclusively for small banquets.

Excellent service waitress attentive and informative. Food was excellent , clams with pasta and the steak with mushroom and pasta were excellent. The calamari starter was divine and the desert of lemon cheesecake also very good. My only concern was the stairs to the toilets were steep and not that well lit, the tables were a little too close together but still felt intimate . All in all throughly recommend the restaurant
