We had a fabulous night at Hanse Stube. We ordered the prix fixe dinner with the wine pairing. The food was imaginative and delicious. The service was impeccable with an engaging staff. We especially enjoyed the informative descriptions of the wines. An enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Usually the bar is set at medium for hotel restaurants, but after our first night staying and eating at the Hilton Köln, we cancelled our other dinner reservation and just opted to eat at the hotel instead. Our server (same as the night before) was great, very accommodating to our daughter who is a bit picky with her food. Making this review a month or so after our visit, but will definitely be back next time we are in Köln, it was a lovely place to enjoy Christmas dinner.

Date night, loud and high energy which we love. Great bar snacks menu - Howard sandwich is to die for. Caviar included with a bottle champagne was a great surprise. Coming back more often!

Nice food, easy going staff and fully relaxed atmosphere. A little bit pricey on the drinks, but that is there thing, being a braustelle, so all good and understood before going in.
