Cafe Noa - Köln

This is a cracking place! Smiley and fast service with a menu -though not extensive -that is tasty and imaginative. We had the salads and they were as creative as they were delicious. A welcome change from hearty Rhineland fare. As other reviewers have said, it's worth booking as it was packed when we took our seats at 8.00pm.

We were in Cologne for the day and found this little gem on trip advisor and checked it out. It did not disappoint. We were in the main square, so we grabbed a cab as it was a long walk. The server spoke pretty decent english and was super helpful. We ordered an appetizer and got him to recommend our meal. He suggested the turkish tortellini and the potato with the seared ahi tuna. We had a couple beers and the meal was only 30 euro. After lunch the nice waiter sent us two frozen mojitos that were amazing. If you are in town, you should definitely try this place.

What a neat and cool place to enjoy a few after dinner drinks! Very kind team and super interesting crowd at the place.

Nice place with minimalistic interior and a great menu. I loved the salad+side dish offer and the wine was good too. Will suit vegetarians as well

Made reservations here for dinner on the Thursday before Christmas. And you should... the place was packed. The atmosphere is on the lively side, but with really nice lighting. And our server was also fantastic- kind, gave great recommendations, and provided excellent service. The drinks and food came out with perfect timing I've never seen anywhere else.The food was also good. My husband and I shared a big appetizer platter that came with shrimp, chicken, steak, sweet potato mash, bulgur, sausages, vegetables, and potato skins. It sounds random but was delicious. As mains, we ordered two of their huge baked potato. The one with Brussels sprouts and chestnuts wasn't my favorite... I was expecting small cut up pieces of the Brussels sprouts. But the potato came with huge, whole sprouts- weird and harder to enjoy. The other potato, however, was delicious. It was served with duck and cheese and a tangy sauce- so delicious. We shared both... we recommend to you to only get one potato per table because it's an overwhelming amount of carbs!The wine list was great with some affordable options, as well. We would definitely come back to try the pasta, which is homemade, and the salmon sounded good as well. All in all, having dinner here was a lovely experience. I would definitely come back here.
