Restaurant La Société Köln

5 kanoknop - 3 weeks ago

A extravagant parade of food is elegantly placed in front of your eyes, turn by turn with each course complimenting the next like a beautiful waltz. I’ve never seen such a hidden gem in cologne. Service is like being a monarch placed in a Babylonian palace. There is no ill words in which I can utter, only advice for those to seek to enter this fine establishment…. Enter with trust in the wisdom of the fantastics chefs, every meal is sure to pair finely with your taste. Truly a Michelin star well deserved ❤️

On my birthday I was surprised by my boyfriend with a star menu of a special kind at home during lockdown. The team of "La Société" had greeted us very warmly when we picked up the individual components of the 5-course menu and provided us with detailed instructions. A very great experience and excellently composed.

A small, pleasant restaurant with about two dozen seats, semi-hidden (some outdoor seating) in among a very diverse group of Köln's cafés, Restaurants, and Shisha Bars. Classic French Bistro decor.

And while I enjoyed the service, the table next to me insisted on ordering off-menu, rudely demanding "no fish." Fisch is just under half of the prixe-fixe menu. The server handled them easily and professionally.

Of the plates, I did enjoy both the red mullet and the golden Trout with Trout skin chips. One of the more clever presentations was the 2nd amuse bouche: beef tartar with horseradish ice, over Vichysoisse and Trout caviar (photo). I initially thought it might have been a bit too much, but I was wrong - an excellent beginning of the meal.

Also, I now believe that if the Chef makes the effort to present you with bacon mousse for your bread, it is your duty to eat it all. Brot und Butter does not compare to Brot und Speck.

I'll return to Köln soon, and must return here.

Genuinely friendly and cosy restaurant that has a very "family u0026 friends" feel about it. From the first greeting with a genuine handshake, the host, waitstaff and kitchen team all interact in a proactive and positve way with each other and their guests. In short, you feel that they genuinely care about their customers and their one goal is for you to have a great time... and we did.

The quality of the food was outstanding, the suggested pairing of wines by the bottle and glass - exceptional.

Every meal was delivered by one a of the kitchen staff, volunteering an explanation of each ingredient and happy to answer any questions.

The host was assisted by the most delightful waitress and between them they ensured that our birthday dinner went smoothly and seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to modify and accommodate variations to their set menu options for us.

Ambience is ...quirky.. but fun, as is the background music. They told us it changes regularly so you may experience something different to the past and present pictures.

In Summary, we have been fortunate enough to have experienced a range of eateries, from 1 and 2 Michelin Star fine dining through to casual pub/cafe and all types in between, I can unreservedly say that this is possibly the best "value for money" restaurant I have been to (in my 57 years) based on the total experience of food/wine/service/ambience - all 5 Stars!!

Cozy, somewhat funky interior of this small Cologne compliments the excellent dishes served from tasting and care menus. Food has an international flair to it. Good service.
