Klaaf Bistro - Réserver une table

Starter, main, and 2 large beers ran to under €25 for a table of one. Having taken a gander around the square near my hotel, I decided to have dinner at Klaaf on a holiday Monday in May 2016. It looked clean and had a minimalist aesthetic that drew me in. The waiting staff were very pleasant and super polite, they were more than accommodating for non-German speakers and the menus are in both German and English. I ordered the goats cheese bruschetta and the Budapest schnitzel... the latter wasn 't quite what I had expected; the menu had said it was paprika... in the UK that 's a dried spice, but here (as I discovered) it is a sauce made with peppers. It was a pleasant surprise! The food was e...

Only after we 've eaten and asked for the bill we were told that it was cash only (which we were 8 Euros short). We asked the waitress why didn 't you tell us when we were placing the order, we would have gone somewhere else, and what are we supposed to do now and she called another waitress, perhaps a supervisor, who told us that it 's not their problem, we 're covered cause it 's written on the menu she said.

The place does not look very attractive inside, there is some weird purple light, and after we were seated in an almost empty restaurant the waiting staff decided it was time for some lounge disco music. As the asparagus season was in full swing and there were signs announcing special asparagus menus all over Cologne, one of us had asparagus with sauce holl...

We ate here twice an indicator that we were very happy with the quality of the food and the general ambiance. Some could feel that the menu is quite compact, but it has a range of food that should satisfy most and we gained the feeling that everything was freshly cooked rather than taken out of a freezer. Service was attentive and friendly and not being German speakers we were appreciative of the language skills of the staff. We were there in early November and on both occasions, the restaurant was devoid of tourists (apart from ourselves) and had many locals as clients.
