"A family day was announced: breakfast, lunch, cafe, cinema planned. To Cologne. In the southern city (Vringsveedel the gastronomic offer is quite large and diverse. We were looking for a restaurant with brunch and also for allergies and intolerances. It seemed to us to have the restaurant “ecco” the right concept. The homepage contains the keyword “CLEAN FOOD”. All that is "clean" is as natural as possible, is unprocessed and without additives. For more than ten years the restaurant has already existed. And you don't want to pursue fashion, but to develop with the guests. The application on vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free was made by customer requests; but also the usual is in offer. Ambience Outside there is a larger area for guests – certainly very pleasant in beautiful weather. Input area Inside is tightly tied. Each meter space is used for tables. Theke and the containers for the buffet are well placed. It was placed on a factory-like plant (sighted concrete ceiling – functional, some retro look etc.). Theke This seems to be good for the audience – it says less to me. But it is also practical to keep. Place of cleanliness In the break (10 to 15:00 a.m. daily, the places are occupied several times and prepared for the next guest a little quick. This is the overall impression. The area is not very well maintained in my eyes. But soap and hand dryer are already present – many guests go there and leave their traces. Service People in service give themselves great effort to create the whole work. Guests can use the buffet themselves, but drinks are brought along and the dishes used are removed. Many customers had registered, but other potential guests also flow into the place. It had to be mediated or embroidered. Some people just book the quick buffet (one hour of power food; most want to eat in smaller or larger groups and talk to friends and be together. The map on Brunch On the homepage stands (here there are many information of all kinds: Sunday to the scene “Schlemmerbüfett: 17,50 inclusive O-Saft” ... We make Brunch every day, always from 10 am, always until 3 pm. So far, so good. Always the one side of the buffet is completely vegan, always there are many gluten-free foods, always there are many warm foods, many salads, homemade bread, incredibly many desserts, dips and of course celiac rievkooche. Let's talk about the word VIEL. An exact statement on the buffet is not possible. This is due to various facts. That's why our cook has a lot of free hand. ... we mainly buy regional products and therefore follow the market conditions and can thus decide clearly for quality....” Then a small sign with a description was always attached to all stations. For the breakfast part there were cut cheese and Camembert. Salami and cooking ham were in the race. There were scrambled eggs and Bacon in another place. Several types of bread and small rolls gave enough possibilities to vary. The scrambled egg was the best of this area for me. rolls, cheese, sausage, egg, bacon The selection of vegetables and raw bar was sufficient. Everything was fresh and crisp, the dressings were well tasted. Looking for me the strongest department of the house. Noodles, vegetables, bread In a warming bowl there was a chili sensual carne. I was curious. Now it was a high proportion of corn, some paprika and some beans. Sud was too sweet for me, the sharpness remained within limits. Chili sine Carne The pig was cut into small cubes and heavily smoked. Typical cash taste. The sauerkraut was suitable. The potato dishes were numerous. Unfortunately, the fresh pieces were usually not finished and relatively raw. However, the potato corners were crispy and thus the most successful variant. The three types of garbage cakes were a little greasy in consistency and little spiced, but cooked, even if not thin or crispy. In a plate with fish, I was least done. In the warm-up box with lid he pulls. So the nautical laughter was a bit hard, overgart, little spicy. The dough plates were accordingly. Even the late cle was not better, but here the vegetables were still easy to eat. Cashiers, pumpkin, potatoes, sauerkraut spinach, chickpeas, gnocchi, mushrooms, paprika were each prepared in sauces and pastes. The vegetables had a typical taste. Some were still solid, others were very soft again. vegetarian or vegan The cakes were partly delicious in the mouth, but always slightly crumbling. The waffle hearts were however crispy, with warm cherries and some sauces were added. Something dessert I hope it doesn't sound too negative; because I almost tried to taste everything. And there were many pieces that were delicious for me. I ate more of it in the end. Satt can be any one here, even if you are limited to some offers. We drank a well-cooled prosecco (4.10 € for 0.1l and lots of mineral water (Selters 6.90€ 0.75l). The card also has a wide range of liquids of all kinds. Conclusion 3 – if it can reappear. On this day the offer appeared to us not as huge as praised; but it was quite extensive. Some of us were ready to be negligent. Bread and cake without gluten or lactose seems to be rather cheerful and dry to me. But the effort is to praise. The kitchen seems to me to be quite modest; because I'm sure I can do all this myself and sometimes better. But I don't have to buy the ingredients, cut, stand in the kitchen and bake and cook, clean and rinse etc. It is a place with a lot of life and mood with guests and friendly service. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – when it comes back, 4 – again happy, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 06.11.2016 – Brunch – 5 people"
