Was Konstantin Rauch at L'imprimerie a mag?
It is my favorite restaurant in Cologne, located in a former print-factory. Fish is always fresh and superb. Meat is also delicious. Credit Cards are not accepted and there is no reservation policy. Service is between charming and relaxed. The owner can be grumpy. I...have been going there for many years. View all feedback.

What Fritz Koch dislikes about L'imprimerie:
Been there for lunch and we had the menu. I have mixed feelings about this place. The service was partly nice, but the owner was cold and a bit unfriendly. The staff tries to make up I guess but it does not compensate. He rattled...down the menu partially and seemed in a rush. For me it felt like that he would not care if he has guests or if they'd like it and might return. The food was ok, but not special at all. My... View all feedback.

Normalerweise bewerte ich lieber gar nicht, wenn ich mehr negative als positive Punkte nennen kann, aber in diesem Fall kann ich einfach nicht anders... 1.Das Restaurant ist in einem niedlichen Innenhof auf der Ceasarstr. in Köln 'versteckt' was zunächst einmal sehr neugierig macht. Der Anblick drinnen erinnert aber eher an eine Kantine, viel zu hell, chaotisch und unglaublich laut (liegt wohl daran, dass die Decken sehr hoch sind, die Küche halb offen steht- dadurch ständig die Teller und Pfannen "fliegen" hört- und die Gespräche der anderen Gäste im Raum hallt. 2. Wir saßen an einem nackten, wackeligen Tisch (60cm×60cm) der ebenfalls unglaublich ungemütlich aussah. 3. Die Speisekarte, wenn man sie denn so nennen kann, war ein Blatt Papier mit einer Handschrift die kaum zu entziffern war.4. Der ältere Mann, der uns bediente war sehr freundlich. Er empfahl uns den Fisch des Tages und es war ganz ok in der Zubereitung- geschmacklich gut aber viel zu durch gebraten,deswegen eher trocken.5. Eine weitere 'Servicekraft' lief hektisch um uns herum -bediente gefühlt alle in dem Raum- und räumte kommentarlos meinen Teller ab, obwohl noch nicht alle am Tisch aufgegessen hatten. Auf meine Bitte noch einwenig zu warten kassierte ich einen sehr bösen Blick. 6. Danach wurden wir von einem anderen jungen Mann bedient, der zwischen freundlich und unfreundlich schwankte. Der Grund dafür war uns nicht bekannt, aber unser Unwohlsein verstärkte sich. 7. Das Essen war ganz ok, aber meiner Meinung nach den stolzen Preis von ca. 36€ pro Teller (siehe Bilder) nicht gerechtfertigt. 8. Positiv zu erwähnen ist die Terasse, die zwar vollgeladen ist aber dennoch zum gemütlichen sitzen einlädt. Alles in allem war ich leider sehr enttäuscht von den zu hohen Preisen, von der schlechten Bedienung und von dem Kantinenflair.

Viele Bewertungen wind für mich überhaupt nicht nachvollziehbar. Ich liebe dieses Restaurant und seine Menschen! Wir gehen schon seit Jahren hier essen und sind immer mehr als nur zufrieden. Das essen, es ist alles selbst gemacht vom Plätzchen beim Espresso bis hin zu den Erbsen, die per Hand! aus den Schoten gelöst werden! Dieses gibt es nicht mal im Sterne Restaurant.Gerade zu Sturmzeiten, leistet das Team eine beachtliche Leistung!Leider wird der ganze Aufwand und die liebe die hier investiert wird wenig geschätzt, wenn ich hier so manche Bewertungen lese.Von den teilweise unverschämten Gästen die ich öfters erlebe wird nicht gesprochen. Da kommen dort Menschen rein und meinen sie seien der Graf von weis ich woher und sagen weder guten Tag noch Abend wenn Sie rein kommen!?Sowas gehört zum guten Ton dazu.Oder Pärchen die sich zu zweit an einen vierer Tisch setzen?? Da kann man nur den Kopf schütteln. Dann gibt es Menschen die nur an bestimmten Tischen sitzen wollen, als würde das essen nicht überall gleich gut schmecken und fangen eine Diskussion an, was soll das?! Und dann gibt es noch die Sorte, die in ein Restaurant gehen um NUR was zu trinken??? Dann geht doch lieber in eine Bar.Ich finde es gut zu sehen das Menschen die meinen sich alles erlauben zu können, dann doch mal gezeigt bekommen das es eben nicht so geht!

Ja, wir hatten Glück. Besuch im L'Imprimerie am letzten Samstag, 8 Leute. Wir konnten sogar reservieren! Der Service und der Maitre waren freundlich (wir aber auch)! BTW, ich habe es auch schon anders erlebt.Wie auch immer: Die Gerichte waren unterschiedlich: Rochenflügel mit Kapern und auch der Glattbutt große Klasse! Das Spanferkel leider etwas trocken. Das Kalbskotelett gut. Zur Vorspeise: Sardinen auf marokkanische Art fantastisch. Die Terrine ebenfalls. Italienische Vorspeisenplatte na ja. Zum Nachtisch Profiteroles, ganz ok. - Weine gut und ... preiswert!Insgesamt war es ein schöner, genussreicher Abend mit kleinen Abstrichen.

“L’Imprimerie” (the printer has received the name from the earlier factory. The food is praised in some guides and articles in the highest tones: French classic cuisine. Access from the street But the service and the owner are also described in the reports as “difficult” or “self-like” (we only experienced the patroness . Input And there are probably “unwritten” rules in the restaurant, but you should know better (if you should believe the texts: no credit card, no free table choice, no reservation, no separate invoice, no sample swallow from the wine etc. for example. Of course there are no homepage or other notes on opening hours and the menu. Also several acquaintances from the “Gourmet cuisine” area have assured me that I have to go there once. So I took “all courage” – not quite because I took my mate from the Enjoyer Club (we took two members together – and drove to Bayenthal in the south of Cologne with the KVB at noon. Ambience At the gate on the street signs hang from the companies in the house. On the following court hangs a table on a door that closes to the restaurant. Inside it is colorful and individually decorated. For example, a made bed at the entrance is noticeable. There is also a lot to see: on the walls and on the ceiling. Decoration Bed The tables are arranged so far: simple and tight. Outside there is some more space between the tables. There are garden furniture. Many plants are distributed over the grounds. Kitchen The napkin is made of white fabric. A plastic ashtray refers to the smoke possibilities. The cutlery is brought along at the first gear and is to be used further. With a rubber ring, a consumption card or Places attached to the table and the orders placed there. In the end, the boss pays his bill at the counter. Exterior Cleanliness Everything was neatly prepared. Sanitary level to reach near the entrance. Service The place was almost empty for its size. There was hardly anyone sitting inside and out there were some tables occupied. There were also some more guests. The boss greeted us and left us the choice of space (in the open, where is covered and outside where is free. Later, the patron came to us and acted like a “goodly laid-on basket in a wooden brewhouse”: something “murish” but otherwise relatively “neutral”. For lunch there were two courses and three variants each. The dishes were orally presented by her. After recent reflections we took the quiche as an appetizer and once fillet from Knurrhahn or Roastbeef from the deer as the main course – I forgot the other names and unheardly repeated. She further said that there is water with and without carbonic acid. “Is it also “medium”?” “As I already mentioned: with and without”. “Please join us!” And white or red wine was also called. She promptly responded to the demand for which wines are available: as I said at midday white or red. Then she grumbled to the kitchen and muttered about it: you can also make everything so complicated, even though it is easy. This was not so “slim” at all; and the place finally also has a reputation that must also be met. The two young forces (a man and a woman then brought the orders to the place and even used words like: may it be something else or was all right and partly “please”. The map(s) The lunch offer is orally presented by the boss. Tasty dishes Landbrot and oil Landbrot The Baguette was crispy and fresh. It tasted pure, with oil and also absorbed residues from the plate well. Quiche Quiche The floor was crusty baked, the support creamy and soft. On top pretty gold yellow browned. For this purpose, the salad leaves made a good contrast with their rather herb note. The fish was well cooked and juicy. The rice had a good consistency. There were also some Mediterranean vegetables, slightly soured. The sauce was well tasted. Roastbeef from deer with supplement The meat was roasted pink. The thin slices were arranged like a cut. It was tender and lightly spiced. The crowd was good. There were two doors in bright and reddish. Some pickled berries were in the sauce. Panna cotta Panna Cotta and a cherry When coffee was offered to us, we asked for a sweets. Panna cotta was still there, we were answered. We received two big cams from it and on top of it an inlaid cherry. The mass was classical and snorkelless. It was refreshing and slightly creamy. I would have liked to eat some more of the cherries; but the other fruits were “only” painted on the plate. Beverages Water with Carbonic Acid (0.5 l White Wine (0.1 l Red Wine (0.1 l Espresso Coffee Cappuccino Milk Coffee Price Performance Ratio The accounts amounted to EUR 80. You must register an invoice before, otherwise you will be charged and cashed after the note. The wine probably cost 4 € per glass, the lunch about 19 € and the rest I don't know anymore. I don't want to complain, it was appropriate in my eyes. Conclusion 3 – if it arises – and then rather in the evening, because I want to get to know the kitchen “more broadly” there – that is the things that should be particularly good here.
