Glashaus Restaurant Bar - Koeln

A visit to the Cologne Fair in Deutz took place. I would like to strengthen myself in the vicinity even soon, before I get into the exhibition. But where? I appreciate the recommendations of Helmut Gote; but his book dates back to 2013 and what else is it? His recommendation for the Rheinufer: “Glashaus” in Hyatt. There is the best panoramic view of the old town of Cologne – and also good food. But the then chef is no longer at the stove. The successor of Mr. Gote as a restaurant tester at the Kölner Stadtanzeiger is Carsten Henn. He was only on the spot in January 2016: his conclusion is partly devastating – „Schöner Panorama in Cologne does not go. Then you don’t look so often on the plate.” Actually, he just liked the dessert. I just have basic concerns about restaurants in big hotels: There are many examples with star kitchen, but even more with moderate facilities. Many guests meet there and then eat in the same house. This does not necessarily require a kitchen. The Hyatt has closed its best restaurant at the time (Graugans already in 2009 due to too little appeal. The “glasshouse” should close the gap and enjoy the guests in a similar way. At lunch there are other dishes than in the evening on the map. There is a lunch ticket, among other things, Sushi (that's all well explained on the homepage). Let's see what impression I get. Dom, Bridge I reserve a place by phone and will see how it works. Hopefully the weather is good, then definitely the panorama (because this is praised everywhere. Ambience Unfortunately there was rain on this day and the Rhine and the old town seemed gray and dark. But the hotel can't do that. The view is appealing. The tables and chairs are black and this looks noble. On the table is a gray runner, also well chosen. The thick opaque elements that hold the glass interrupt the view of the panorama for me something. The unreal plants as decoration I find something inappropriate, but they fit well to the picture. Since the room is open to the rest of the hotel, fragrances come from the kitchen or the buffet of the guests, who probably meet here in large numbers, to the restaurant. Cleanliness The house seemed to me basically well maintained. But for me there were light smears because the cutlery didn’t look really clean on me (water stains and on a spoon was still a small “green” rest (no herbal stem). The service naturally replaced the part. The friendly waitress led me to the toilet area because it was a bit off the restaurant complex. Behind the door was a spacious area. But everything is quite simple in the facility for me, but expedient and clean. Since all day guests and seminar visitors go, the wash basin area was not well maintained. Washroom The paper towels lay around everywhere and the two containers crawl over. Service Several young ladies and gentlemen work here. All friendly and helpful. I took off the coat and supplied it. Then I was brought to the table – I had a good look at the cathedral. I was offered a magazine for the waiting period. The dishes were served quickly. My wishes were asked and met immediately. Beverages have not been forgotten. There were no wishes left. The map(s lunch and day ticket); Evening card, Sushi, Wine card The tasting food I choose the menu in three courses: BUSINESS LUNCH 11.30 to 14.30 pm (2 COUNTS PRO PERSON € 27,00 and 3 COUNTS PRO PERSON € 33,00 From the four appetizers I chose: SUSHI STARTER: NIGIRI, MAKI, INSIDE OUT ROLL I am now (not yet the designated). It was fine for me, but not overwhelming in taste. The Maki were filled with fish (I think salmon and tuna. The Nigiri were also prepared with salmon and tuna. The inside out rollers were made with different vegetables and made in two ways. I once read that the cook already seasons the rolls and hardly needs soy sauce. That didn't happen to me today. Sushi Bread was also served. The selection consisted of three varieties and the slices were heated; a little dry. There was also a small slice of slightly salted butter (yet well cooled and not spreadable and olive oil. I'd like to have some of them fed. From the four main courses I took: FILET „MIGNON“, ANNABELLE KARTOFFELSTAMPF, ROTE BETE TÜRMCHEN, THYMIANJUS The plate looked delicious and met my expectations. The meat was perfectly grilled. The three thin bows were even pink in the middle. I have to praise that. The taste was pleasantly rounded with some salt crystals. The potato marsh was also well made with butter and herbs and enjoyed my palate. Red Bete, Stampf, Filet The sauce had a matching consistency and wounded to the meat quite well. Unfortunately, they later testify to me (at the fair relatively great thirst in the mouth and the palate area. But at the table she was right as a companion. The Red Bete pieces were fine (not soft, but little aromatic. At the dessert (three sweets and once cheese I chose KOKOSCRÈME BRÖLÉE, MANGOKOMPOTT, SCHOKOLADENEIS. Ice and mango The cream Brulee was well prepared and the crust was nicely pink. In the other vessel the ice and the compote split their place. The chocolate ice cream had small crispy pieces inside that raised the dish for me. The compote was compote; So all right, but I couldn't score. Beverages Open wines start at 8.00 euros per glass. My choice fell spontaneously on Kölsch (Sion Kölsch in 0.2 l – 2.80 €; this also takes place in Cologne. Sion Kölsch, bread, oil, soy sauce The espresso (Macchiato – 3,50 € had light red stars and was not particularly intense in taste (I like it a little more – but quite fine. Price performance ratio The price was reasonable for three courses. Beer and coffee are not too expensive. I forgot wine. Conclusion 3 – if it results. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 19.02.2016 – Lunch – a person

A change of menu of water. starters have anoruchsen names, but do not reach the high level. kalbskottelet is quite normal, nothing special. You might get a better card.

Perfect! especially for bus or family dinner without children

As usual we enjoyed a wonderful diner. all perfect!

The restaurant that I know has simply made perfect creations on the table and we were therefore very satisfied again. better it's hard.
