This is a great place to hunker down for down-to-earth traditional German cooking. My favourite is the formidable eisbein, boiled pork shank served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. They also have specialities such as herring (seasonal dish) or raw tartar steak served with fried onions, cream cheese and herbs, And of course they have a number of dishes featuring sausages. A good warm meal costs between 10 to 15 euros. Since I’m not a beer drinker, I can’t say much about their main product. Yet judging from the litres being consumed by other guests, I think their beer is also excellent. On a personal note, I forgot to photograph my eisbein. By the time I remembered, all that was a left on my plate was the bone. I did take photos of the salad with herring and the steak tartar with fried onions...but the photos don't quite convey how good these two dishes were. If you're in the area of Koln and the cathedral, just give this place a try.
