The owner, Mario, is a very friendly guy and will make you feel like you're at home in his restaurant. I've visited the place for the first time back in August 2018 and I was hooked, not only the food is amazing, but the staff is very professional and will take the time to make sure that you're getting only the best. I definitely recommend the place for a visit even if the location is not easily accessible, being almost out of town, but neighbors will have better luck in this regard.

Brilliant staff, delicious food and a warm atmosphere. Very hard to fault a place when they get these three things right. Steak was top quality! Whilst it’s based outside the city of Cologne, if you are looking for a quieter night away from the city or you are on your way into the city, I’d highly recommend stopping by here! Take the train to Merkenich and stop here for dinner and drinks, you won’t be disappointed.
