"anton seems to be a kind of local fame dining place that is far from the famous restaurants and crowded streets. Nevertheless, it remains a loyal, local customership that is driven for its excellent tripadvisor position and the full tables in a Friday night. from our curiosity we made the walk to the place and were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. the interieur, as previously expected, was a mixture of kitsch and modern to put it cheaply. still we spend a joyous night there, which eats our rich food and really enjoys the warm, local atmosphere of the restaurant and the people who go to visit and work. I have to admit that I understand what people like."

"Wirklich eine sehr gute Pizza, dünnen Boden bestellen, und nach 20 Minuten abholen oder liefern lassen.Qualität wirklich gut, und vor allem nicht pappige und völlig überteuert wie beim systemgastronomischen Mitbewerber quasi schräg gegenüberPreise völlig im grünen Bereich, absolut gerechtfertigt. Seit mehreren Jahren essen wir immer wieder von dieser Pizza."

"I found this place quite inadvertent because I attended a concert near and needed to dinner before, but holy moly, they make amazing pizza! the place is a very friendly, classic Italian, family-run restaurant (which also serves meat and milk products), but they offer vegan cheese on every pizza (and the teig is vegan anyway) so there are many vegan options to choose from (they also have pasta). I had a pizza romana with mushrooms and artichokes and some extra olives, and that was so freakin’ good. only classic Italian pizza, but vegan, it could be so easy and would make the living better for all (incl. kühe), I really don't understand why there are no more Italian restaurants doing this."

"We had an important appointment in Cologne and wanted to go for dinner afterwards. It should not be a long menu or include elaborate dishes because we didn't have so much time. It should also be close to the destination. After Christmas and before New Year's Eve, at noon there were not so many locals open business breaks, changed opening hours etc. We found a parking lot on the street and saw Karl Hermanns right in front of us. The restaurant made the impression that it used to house a retail store: shop windows and two entrance doors. Room inside the counter was to be seen directly in the center. On the right there were some tables and high places. Theke Links of this were several bistrotic with benches and chairs. We went there because we don't like sitting on high tables. Our place cutlery In a hose-like passage left next to the counter in the direction of the kitchen and sanitary area there were other guest places. Gang On the walls hung some big oil paintings. Several lights hung on the ceiling with numerous incandescent lamps. From the boxes came subtle music of the Beatles and of Elvis. The plain table tops were only equipped with cutlery and thick paper napkins. Cleanliness Everything worked neatly well maintained. The sanitary area was very small and slightly angled. But clean and tidy. There were also small cloth towels. Service Two young ladies are cutting the service. The cook brings the burgers to the table. All powers were friendly and did their service without problems. They asked our wishes and served quickly. After ordering took a little longer. For billing they needed some time, but the payment did not make any problems. Map n The card was accommodated on a clamping block. The dishes were clearly listed per page and well explained. First a few starters, the burgers and steaks of course, the vegetarian offer, the supplements pommes, salads, vegetables, sauces and two desserts. Then a wide list of selected beers and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The tasting food KH BURGER from Bœuf de Hohenlohe The meat comes from the “Boeuf de Hohenlohe”, a historical breed of cattle, which has been successfully bred in Nordwürttemberg for several years. The pasture cattle graze in the summer on the river banks of the Hohenlohe country and are fed with meadows in winter. Antibiotics, growth promoters and other additives are prohibited. The meat is freshly cooked daily. It is combined with a soft Brioche bread from a small bakery from the Cologne area. The other ingredients are also selected and free from additives. No 1 Hamburger with Brioche Bœuf de Hohenlohe Ochsenherztomate sweet-saure cucumbers Romana Onion KH Spezial Sauce 10.50 € No 1 The bread was fresh and soft. The Patty was thought to be medium rare. The quality of the meat was therefore good to taste; it was little seasoned. Even the ingredients hardly distracted from the meat. No 2 Our No. 1 from the Bœuf de Hohenlohe Molzener Irish farmers Cheddar 12,50 € No 2 The structure was analogous to No 1. The cheese also gave creamy notes in the mouth. No 3 Our No. 1 from the Bœuf de Hohenlohe molten Irish peasant Cheddar Bacon from the Swabian Hällische Landschwein KH Barbecue Sauce 14,00 € No 3 The structure was analogous to No 1. But the crispy salty bacon made the burger somewhat more characterful and round in taste; I therefore liked it best of the three copies. Good meat should not be “distorted” by too many spices is also my opinion, but there is more salt and a pinch of pepper. Also a supplement of “big aromas” to the pure “grain taste” adds very much to himself. A bowl with Pommes sea salt flakes from the North Sea 4,00 € The pommes are fritted in the cattle valley by the Boeuf de Hohenlohe. The potatoes were cut in long and thick pieces. That's exactly how I like Pommes. They were slightly chessed too much roasted aromas should be harmful to health and soft and juicy inside. The salt was also used sparingly. The taste of potatoes was still clearly present. So actually right – but I still prefer to have Pommes on the outside a bit crispy and darker. Karl Hermann’s Chocolate Pie Valrhona Ganache Butterscotch Karamell Peanut Butter Maldon Sea Salt 6,00 € Cake I had to try that – and it was just right. The dough bottom was thin and crispy. The dark chocolate was relatively firm and totally aromatic; so delicious. The salt tasted perfectly. The peanut butter and the caramel also gave magnificent additions to the goose. Several thick blackberries gave a beautiful acidity and sweetness. I like two slices of fresh juicy oranges. However, I could hardly use the fresh thyme branches; I tried to mix them with the orange or bring them into contact. I didn't want to eat the leaves without success and pure, of course – it was a decoration similar to rosemary branches on meat occasional. Beverages Viva con Agua Mineral Water Leise 0.33 l – 3,00 € The spring water comes from a pollutant-protected underground reservoir. Due to the low content of sodium it has a gentle taste. At the beginning of 2012, the filling in Husum was also converted to 100% green electricity wind/water. Water silent Fentimans Curiosity Cola 0.275 l – 5,00 € Caffeine-containing refreshment drink with fermented ginger root extract and pear juice extract. The spicy drink in the tradition of pharmacies Cola is prepared according to a new recipe in England. Cola The Cola tasted quite unusual but refreshing. Mystique IPA 0.33 l – 7.00 € Beer is a wheat India Pale Ale by Kuehn Kunz Rosen from Mainz. The bittersweet aromas come from hops such as Cascade, Crystal, Amarillo and Summit. The beverage is not filtered or pasteurized. IPA The IPA convinced with its fine bitter notes. Price performance ratio The prices are quite ambitiously calculated. However, the ingredients and drinks are also of selected quality. Conclusion 3 – if it results. The burgers were good. The drinks are delicious. But it is not enough for me to visit this place again; so to drive extra there. 1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it arises again, 4 – happy again, 5 – necessarily again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 30.12.2017 – midday – three persons"

"Ich habe mehrere Monate beruflich in Köln zu tun gehabt, wohnte in dieser Zeit in Fühlingen. Mehrmals war ich im Restaurant La Serenissima essen, gut geschmeckt hat es kein einziges Mal. Pasta völlig ohne Geschmack, Pizza ohne Pepp und generell die Speisen völlig überteuert. Ich bin durchaus bereit, für gutes Essen auch gutes Geld zu bezahlen, allerdings stimmt das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis in diesem Restaurant nicht. Hinzu kommt die lieblose, oft sogar unfreundliche, launische und sogar freche Art und Weise der Bedienung. Da ich direkt in der Nähe wohnte, habe ich hin und wieder telefonisch zum mitnehmen bestellt. Im Restaurant angekommen wird man wie ein ungebetener Gast behandelt. Oft steht man ewig im Eingang, bis sich jemand erbarmt, ein freundliches Guten Abend oder zumindest ein Lächeln gehört dort nicht zum guten Ton. Und jedes Mal wie ich dort stand und auf mein Essen wartete, sah ich die Bedienung die halbvollen Teller der Gäste wieder zurück in die Küche bringen. Ganz offensichtlich bin ich nicht der einzige, dem das Essen dort nicht schmeckt. Ein Pluspunkt ist das sehr gemütliche Ambiente, man fühlt sich dort wohl. Nur ist ein Restaurant zum essen da und das kann ich definitiv nicht empfehlen."
