Directly opposite Cologne Cathedral, the Hanse Stube offers innovative French cuisine with regional influences. The gourmet restaurant has been awarded several prizes for its excellent cuisine and first-class service. Chef Joschua Tepner prepares unique taste experiences. His menu pays homage to both tradition and innovation. The Hanse Stube team provides excellent service and pampers its guests; head waiter Franz-Georg van Hall personally carves at the guests’ table and sommelier Robert Demers finds a wine to pair with any style of food. The interior of the Hanse Stube is characterized by timeless elegance with cozy sofa corners, filigree wooden chairs and various contemporary and historical paintings on the wood-paneled walls. The two side rooms, "Mirror Salon" and "Fish Salon", can be booked exclusively for small banquets.

I am a guest of the hotel (and the hotel is truly excellent), thus, I had high expectations for this restaurant as well. The expectations were not only met, but exceeded. The service exceptionally kind and professional, without being stuffy or overly formal at all. I was able to speak entirely in German with the waiter/Kellner (and my German is okay, but not great) while conversing in English with the Captain and wine-steward. The food was superb: flavorful, expertly presented, and memorable in all the good ways. I did 4 courses with the wine pairing, and that was just right. The pacing of the courses was excellent as well. I felt very comfortable as a solo dinner, and I will definitely return before I leave this beautiful city.

Dear Denis, thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that we not only met but exceeded your expectations. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the service and felt comfortable engaging with our team in both German and English. We take great pride in providing a welcoming, yet professional atmosphere, and it’s lovely to hear this was reflected in your experience. We’re thrilled you found the food flavorful and memorable, and that the wine pairing and pacing of the courses added to your enjoyment. Knowing you felt comfortable dining solo is especially gratifying — that’s exactly the kind of experience we strive for. We look forward to welcoming you back during your stay in our beautiful city. Best regards Kimiko Mücke Training & Quality Manager

Tische leider etwas zu nah bei einander, sodass man gezwungenermaßen die Gespräche der Nebentische mitbekommt und selbst leise sprechen muss. Sonst Top und eine Empfehlung wert

Lieber Andreas, vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback und Ihre 5 Sterne Bewertung für unsere Hanse Stube. Es freut uns, dass Sie mit unserem Service insgesamt sehr zufrieden waren. Wir verstehen jedoch, dass die Nähe der Tische das Erlebnis beeinträchtigen kann, und nehmen Ihren Hinweis ernst und haben diesen intern weitergegeben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und freuen uns, Ihnen dann eine noch angenehmere Atmosphäre zu bieten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Kimiko Mücke Training & Quality Manager
