Gruber's

What an amazing experience. The atmosphere, staff, and menu is simply amazing. We received the best recommendations from the somelier. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was out of this world, with complexity and thoughtfulness in every dish.

If I could, I would add another star. The service was amazing 👏 The concept was refreshing, and the food was truly exceptional. It was an all in all fabulous gastronomical experience.

We went in for lunch and chose only the Wiener Schnitzel. During the ordering I referred to a video online on YouTube (Max) were the owner mentioned that we could get another portion of the meat in case we are not saturated. The lady (Kellnerin) mentioned that this is only the case for dinner time if you order a menu but she could do an exception for us. As expected we were not saturated after having two small pieces of the Wiener Schnitzel and we asked another guy (Kellner) for another small portion and he denied it directly and mentioned the owner misspelled this part in the video online. In the end we paid 40€ p.P. and we were still hungry. Ended up eating another round outside to eliminate the hunger. All in all the meat was 9,5/10. Next time I will try out the menu for lunch time.

Opting for the three-course menu, I was treated to an array of delectable dishes that left a lasting impression. The soup-broth with its unique noodles was an absolute delight, and the Austrian schnitzel paired with potatoes was a mouthwatering experience. The final touch came in the form of a mango-infused tiramisu dessert that perfectly balanced sweetness. The only downside was the slightly steep price of 41€ for the three-course meal per person. However, the quality of the food and the overall experience certainly justified the cost. I'm looking forward to returning for another memorable meal!

Never had a better schnitzel. Perfect example of how to make sophisticated food out of popular, "cheap" dishes - but there is nothing cheap about it here, ingredients are top notch, wine selection great, portions hefty, even bread is a whole wonderful dish of its own. Haven't had a meal this good in years. Bit on a pricey side, but worth it.

Lovey food and ambience at this slightly out-of-centre take on an Austrian hilltop brasserie in a leafy suburban setting. A 15-minute walk from central station you enter a different vibe - more residential, perhaps a uni quarter, and quieter than the city centre hubbub. The leafy terraces surrounding the restaurant add to the oasis-in-a-city vibe while the interior is a modern take on alpine hotel meets hotel library. Food was hands-down excellent. It was a light and refined take on classic dishes, with a real pride in the ingredients - all showing up in the taste. We had the 6 course tasting menu and it was a mix of surprises and pleasure at the interpretation of things we thought we knew. The service was fantastic with the waiter covering wine, food history and any else with a real humour. Prices surprised us as being on the cheaper side of expectation give the quality. Worth a detour from the city centre for.

It's a high end restaurant with excellent food menu. A perfect restaurant for romantic dinner. The terrace is very nice, service is perfect. I had a modern menu and was not disappointed and if you want traditional Austrian food "traditional menu" is for you. The "Kaiserschmarrn" ist very good.

My brother and I just ate here for a business dinner, in September 2024. I contacted the restaurant prior to our dinner to let them know that I am vegan and gluten-free. The restaurant was so accommodating and so kind. The food was delicious, the service was professional, and I would consider Gruber's to be one of the best restaurants that I have had the pleasure of dining at in the entire world. I plan to return to Cologne next year, and will undoubtedly be dining at Gruber's again. Thank you, Gruber's.
