L'Arena Steakhaus - Köln

Already in the breakfast table my wife and I plan the 16th october: date in solingen, on the late afternoon with dinner in l 'arena in Cologne-Porz-Wahnheide in heidestraße 218. Why? a few years ago we were already there after a hike in the wahner heath and have eaten very well. then the steakhaus el toro was there. after moving this steakhouse from Cologne-Porz to saint augustin (in el toro in saint augustin we have already eaten excellent, see my critique under [her link], the l 'arena in heidestraße 218 is moved in Cologne-Porz-Wahnheide. see if we find the quality we are used by el toro in saint augustin and that we have already experienced when el toro was still in Cologne-Porz. finding the ambiente a parking space is not difficult when they visit the l 'arena. less than fifty steps next to the l 'arena is a parking space that is available to the customers of a drink market, the guests of a pizzeria next to the l 'arena and only the guests of the l 'arena for free. but even if this parking space should be occupied, there are enough free parking spaces in the hot road in parking bays. the l 'arena invites its guests to the anthracite-colored tiled ground floor of a whitewashed multi-storey house. High, wide windows let the view of the steak house from the outside and from the inside out the view of the multiple-used hot road. in the inner illuminated an LED star sky a large guest room with round arches, equipped with dark brown, cozy chairs and similar tables. the tables are tastefully covered with red table sets, white straightened and red and white serviettes. a decoration suitable for the season with autumnal gestures and a stoneware pumpkin with tee light is missing. on the walls, usually slightly beige, but also purple, decorative old ears, suits and lights create a home environment. a large mobile mirror is labeled with the daily offered several times. we feel comfortable in this ambiente, it is welcoming and cozy, suitable for a steak house. Despite the situation at the traffic-rich hot road, whose proximity is only perceived visually in the place, we give five stars. the service we are kindly greeted when entering a gentleman in the best man age. he takes care of us all the night and the first, in the course of the evening numerous guests of the restaurants. And this makes him professional, friendly, fast, caring, asking for the taste experience of eating and not paying with answer to ask. card payment, also with credit cards, is not a problem with payment. a leak on the cost of the house at the payment is of course also a matter. more of it later! we did not know what to do with the experienced service. accordingly we give five stars for the operation. the food of the serviceman leaves us free choice, we have not reserved. we like a foursome, we get the menu right away. as for a steak house there are steaks and steaks and steaks in all possible variations. hip steaks, entrecôtes and ragsteaks, bark meat fillets, lamb fillets and lamb back mainly served with salad, foil potatoes, steakhouse chips or croquettes. the beef comes from Argentina, according to our serviceman from New Zealand. few fish dishes are also on the map. we see the price level as quite normal, in few cases even as favorable. in the meantime, our man has received the drinks from the service. my wife chooses a merlot that at 6,50 € for a fifth beats quite high price book, but it tastes so good that it takes a second in the evening. I'm damned for chauffing, so just give me an alcohol-free early collar, €3.50 for the third liter. we also made the choice. my wife loves the lamb fillet with pfeffer sauce, fries and salat for 19,50 €, and I choose as a garlic fan – lamb with lemon bone blue spinat, fries and salat at 22,50 €. Once our serviceman has listed our orders, he also serves us the greeting from the kitchen that is rich and tasteful. crispy, roasted bottle in a silver metal basket and two white porcelain dishes with red and white intact presents us the camarero. the red content proves to be a preparation for consumption, near the Turkish antep ezme shows: wobble, paprika, tomato, olive oil. the white content is a yogurt preparation with dill and garlic. tastefully both dives are excellent, so we must draw the generous amount of amuse gaule to leave space for the following dishes. our work with the greeting from the kitchen is grateful then also interrupted by the presentation of the supplemental salads. various leaf salads, tomato bags, rakes, tweezers, mais, gurken slices and paprika strips are covered with a yogurt dress. the salat is excellent fresh, the dressur is delicious and makes the salat delicious. after the salat we don't wait long for our main dishes. the serviceman introduces to my wife a large plate with four lamb fillets, obviously homemade fries, a roasted tomato half and a fruit half, which tastefully reminds of a nectarine, but only remembers it. the four (always four) lamb fillets are excellently prepared, tender, pointed and medium-drenched. a tasteful fancy sauce refines the anyway good taste of lamb fillets. the horses are domestically cut and exemplarily spit. the dish served well hot is so generous that my wife has to fight with the last hints of her lamb fillet. this fight is not saved to me either. the good man of the service puts me a plate with three lambs back on a generously dimensioned back hill. the other supplements such as fraught by fries, tomatoes and half-obst make no difference to the supplements on the teller of my wife. the spinach is with lemon and garlic, but after my taste with too little lemon and garlic. yet the composition tastes excellent. also here the meat is prepared for the point as with the filets, juicy and has a pleasant redstaroma. a piece of very tasty crimped butter gives a taste cake. the parts are very generous, so we have to empty our plates. there is no place for a dessert. at the payment our service provider is generous in the name of the house. he offers us a digestivum. my wife as a passion is allowed to approve a grappa, I support an espresso at cost of the house. no objections to both approaches, espresso and grappa, mature in egg barrels, taste excellent. the five stars for eating are justified in our opinion. there is nothing to complain about. cleanliness no cleanliness! the dining room, the tables, the dishes and the best corner are perfectly clean. also impeccable cleanliness prevails in the toilets – male and female. it's worth five stars. the five stars for the price-performance ratio are actually mandatory. we were served very well, we also consider eating excellent. the only criticism of the price-performance ratio is concentrated on the price difference between the plentiful four lamb fillets at 19,50 € compared to the three lamb back pieces with spinat at 22,50 €. here the price calculation does not seem consistent. Despite this not quite clear calculation between these two things we keep the price-performance ratio for the l 'arena offers more than good. the conclusion of five stars at eating, service, ambiente, cleanliness and only four and a half stars at the price performances do not allow any other rating than: five stars, albeit close, to the conclusion or to speak with a kitchen trip: absolutely again!

Already at the breakfast table my wife and I plan the 16th. October: Date in Solingen, late afternoon return home with dinner at L 'Arena in Cologne-Porz-Wahnheide on Heidestraße 218. Why? Several years ago, after a hike in the Wahner Heide we were already there and have eaten very well. At that time, the Steakhaus El Toro was located there. After moving this steak house from Cologne-Porz to Saint Augustin (in El Toro in Saint Augustin we have already eaten excellent, see my critique under [here link] the L 'Arena in Heidestraße 218 moved into Cologne-Porz-Wahnheide. Let's see if we find the quality that we are used to by El Toro in Saint Augustin and that we have already experienced when El Toro was still in Cologne-Porz. The ambience Finding a parking lot is not difficult when visiting the L 'Arena. Less than fifty steps next to the L 'Arena is a parking space which is available to the customers of a beverage market, to the guests of a pizzeria next to the L 'Arena and just to the guests of the L 'Arena for free. But even if this car park should be occupied, there are enough free parking spaces on the Heidestraße in parking bays. The L 'Arena invites its guests to the anthracite-colored tiled ground floor of a white-washed multi-storey house. High, wide windows let the view of the Steakhaus from the outside and from the inside the view of the multi-used Heidestraße. Inside, an LED star sky illuminates a large guest room divided with round arches, furnished with dark brown, cozy chairs and like-colored tables. The tables are tastefully covered with red table sets, white dishes and red and white napkins. A decoration suitable for the season with autumnal gestures and a stoneware pumpkin with tea light are not missing. On the walls, mostly light beige but also purple, decorative old watches, dressings and lights create a homely environment. A large mobile mirror is labeled multicoloured, labeled with the daily offers. We feel comfortable in this ambience, it is welcoming and cozy, suitable for a steak house. In spite of the location on the traffic-rich Heidestraße, the proximity of which is only perceived visually in the local area, we give five stars. The service We are kindly greeted when entering a gentleman in the best man age. He takes care of us all night and the initially few, in the course of the evening more numerous guests of the restaurant. And this makes him professional, friendly, fast, caring, asking for the taste experience of the food and not paying with answers to requests. Card payment, also with credit cards, is not a problem when paying. A leak at the expense of the house at the expense of payment is also a matter of course. More of that later! We didn't know what to do with the service. Accordingly, we give five stars for operation. The food The serviceman leaves us free choice, we have not reserved. We like a foursome table, we get the menu immediately. As for a steak house, there are steaks and steaks and steaks in all possible variations. Hip steaks, entrecôtes and ragsteaks, beef fillets, lamb fillets and lamb backs predominantly served with salad, foil potatoes, steakhouse chips or croquettes. The beef comes from the awards of Argentina, the lamb meat according to our serviceman from New Zealand. Few fish dishes are also on the map. We see the price level as quite normal, in few cases even as favorable. In the meantime, our Lord has received the drinks from the service. My wife chooses a Merlot, which at €6.50 for a fifth beats rather high-priced beech, but it tastes so good that it takes a second during the evening. I'm damned for chauffing, so just give me an alcohol-free early-collar, €3.50 for the third-liter. We have also made the choice. My wife loves with the lamb fillet with pepper sauce, fries fries and salad for 19,50 €, and I choose as a garlic fan – lambs with lemon-bone spinat, fries and salad at 22,50 €. As soon as our serviceman has listed our orders, he also serves us the greeting from the kitchen, which is rich and tasteful. Crispy, roasted bottlebot in a silver metal basket and two white porcelain bowls with red and white contents the camarero presents us. The red content turns out to be a preparation when consumed, close to the Turkish antep ezme shows: onions, peppers, tomatoes, olive oil. The white content is a yogurt preparation with dill and garlic. Tastefully both dips are excellent, so we need to draw the generous amount of amuse gueule to leave room for the following dishes. Our work with the greeting from the kitchen is thankfully then also interrupted by the presentation of the supplement salads. Various leaf salads, tomato sacks, rakes, onions, corn, cucumber slices and paprika strips are covered with a yogurt dressing. The salad is excellently crisp fresh, the dressing is tasty and makes the salad delicious. After the salad we don't wait long for our main dishes. The serviceman introduces to my wife a large plate with four lamb fillets, obviously homemade fries, a roasted tomato half and a fruit half, which tastefully recalls a nectarine, but just remembers. The four (always four) Lamb fillets are excellently prepared, tender, à point and medium roasted. A tasteful pepper sauce refines the anyway good taste of lamb fillets. The fries are house-cut and exemplary fritted. The hot dish is so generous that my wife has to fight with the last hints of her lamb fillet. This fight is not saved to me either. The good man of the service presents me a plate with three pieces of lamb back lying on a generously dimensioned spinal hill. The other supplements such as fries of fries, tomato and half of fruit make no difference to the supplements on my wife's plate. The spinach is priced with lemon and garlic, but after my taste with too little lemon and garlic. Nevertheless, the composition tastes excellent. Here, too, the meat is prepared to the point as with the fillets, juicy and has a pleasant roast aroma. A piece of very tasteful herbal butter gives a taste cake. The portions are very generous so that we have our trouble in emptying the plates. There's no room for a dessert. Our service provider is generous in the name of the house. He's offering us a Digestivum. My wife as a passenger is allowed to approve a grappa, I approve an espresso at the expense of the house. No objections to both additions, espresso and grappa, matured in oak barrel, taste excellent. The five stars for the food are justified in our opinion. There's nothing to complain about. Cleanliness No tadel in cleanliness! The dining room, the tables, the dishes and the best corner are perfectly clean. Also impeccable cleanliness prevails in the toilets – males and females. It's worth five stars. The five stars for the price-performance ratio are actually mandatory. We have been served very well, we also consider the food excellent. The only criticism of the price-performance ratio focuses on the price difference between the abundant four lamb fillets at 19,50 € compared to the three lamb back pieces with spinach at 22,50 €. Here price calculation does not seem to be consistent. Despite this not quite clear calculation between these two dishes, we consider the price-performance ratio of the L 'Arena offers to be more than good. Four and a half stars for the price-performance ratio seem appropriate to us. The conclusion of five stars in food, service, ambience, cleanliness and only four and a half stars in the price-performance ratio does not allow any other rating than: five stars, albeit close, for the conclusion. Or to speak with a kitchen trip: absolutely again!!!

Great restaurant, had several diners here. the quality of eating is excellent and the cook and the waitress are even better. I would be recommended to everyone!

We had a nice dinner, good quality eating and large portions. it was possible to ask for some and to pay with an additional fee per credit card.

The salat was impressive, which came with the white carving (i like salate). the colsh was refreshing (local cologne/koln beer).
