Alfajor Cafe

Das CAFE ART, vormals Orlando, ist unser Stammcafe, direkt neben der Stammcreperie und dem Stamm-Inder, alles in der ENGELBERTSTR. im Kölner Univiertel. Das ART besticht durch ein recht hübsches Jugendstil-Ambiente, aber nochmehr durch eine kleine Auswahl sehr leckerer Gerichte von einer ständig wechselnden Karte. Z.B. eine Spinat-Schafskäse-Quiche für 9,90€, eine Kartoffelsuppe ohne- (7,80€) und mit Würstchen vom Eifel-Schwein (9,50 €). Beides sehr gut! Aber auch kleine Frühstücks-Varianten und 3-4 Kuchenvarianten bietet das Cafe Art. Ach ja, und der Milchcafe ist auch richtig gut. Der neue Inhaber ist sehr nett, sehr zuvorkommend und sorgt für das Wohl seiner Gäste. Man kann sich im Cafe Art rundum wohl fühlen!

I had a lovely last lunch here before leaving Cologne. The café was small and busy for a Sunday, but the elderly gentleman who served us was very polite and friendly. And although the food took a while to arrive, I didn't mind as we weren't in any rush to go anywhere. So, considering there was one person in the kitchen and the chap who served us, they did a great job with the food and service. I had a green tea to drink, which was a bit small for what I paid (€3.20), but I could see it was a decent quality loose tea that he put in a special muslin bag. As for food I had the "Groß und Fein" (€10.90), which consisted of a selection of colds cuts of meats and cheese platter with side salad, butter, jam and a variety of breads (which was to die for!). All of the meats were tasty, and the cheeses too...so this german classic dish made for very a light and tasty lunch! So, if you like a nice bit of café breakfast/lunch food and you're in the area, then this is the place to go! Good value for money and some lovely bits of art deco interior, too. Would definitely visit here again if in Cologne. Easy 5 stars.
