Toro Negro - Kreisfreie Stadt Koln

The steaks were done perfectly. A friend's grilled shrimp were overcooked. We were surprised to learn only after the meal, that this was a CASH ONLY business NO CREDIT CARDS are accepted. I'm upset that there was no signage anywhere saying no credit cards. This was the only sit down restaurant on an 18 day tour that was cash only.

We went early evening after we’d done a walking tour of Cologne and we were told by some departing Americans that the steak was good. We both ordered fillet steak (with a choice of small, medium and large) and had them cooked medium rare. They were the best steaks we’ve had in a long time. Served with baked potato and salad. Service was friendly and well paced. Would definitely recommend.

I went to this restaurant early on a Saturday evening with my two children and, unfortunately, arrived just before another three parties. The waiter (just the one for a room which, by the time we eventually received our meals had over 60 diners present! proceeded to hand out menus to two other tables with adults who arrived after us and I had to get his attention as he was on his way to a third table. We ordered drinks and the food and then endured a long wait (just under an hour till the food arrived. No matter how busy the restaurant is, an hour is way too long. I don't know if additional service staff had called in sick, but one waiter to serve 60 diners is just not good enough. We ordered two medium rare fillet steaks, which both arrived somewhere between medium and well done and were rather dry. I'd normally send them back, but in view of waiting an hour initially and having a six-year-old with me I decided to just grin and bear it. The steak was accompanied by an unimaginative green salad and fries. Halfway through my meal I ordered a second Radler (shandy and was actually served a beer just as I was finishing my meal. By this time, I just wanted to get out of there so paid and left the beer on the table. To be honest, like other reviewers on here I decidedly got the impression the waiter (although friendly enough either didn't really care about his guests or was seriously swamped and unable to cope. I definitely had the feeling it was a bit of a touristy restaurant and will certainly not be back for a second visit.

Extremely tender rumpstake with a very tasty baked potato. The Riscal white wine was everything a good Spanish wine should be. Very kind and polite personnel.

...dovrebbe sempre essere il benvenuto! Siamo entrati in cerca di un posto e nessuno è stato in grado di metterci a nostro agio e trovarci un posto! Tutti sembravano nelle loro faccende affaccendati! Se non si è in grado di occuparsi almeno discretamente della clientela, per il semplice fatto che "tanto il cliente c'è sempre" per via del turismo, a mio avviso è meglio lasciar perdere e cambiare mestiere! Non abbiamo mangiato! Insufficiente in partenza!
