The food is ok and the service is very friendly although a few mistakes were made. It was a good meal. But for the price, we expect more.

Absolutely TOP restaurant to visit! Especially good for married couples as well as a first date. We found it reasonably priced and service one of the best in city. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends, relatives and tourists. The snake salad I ordered was just right - not too spicy or oily , like it had been served in other places in Italy or France. 5/5

I found this French bistro on my Raisin App during my trip to Cologne. Well, what a hidden gem!!! We had the Chef’s Choice 4-course menu with wine pairing and we’re so glad we did, the food and wine were incredible! Every dish was bursting with flavour and paired beautifully. Highly recommend going with the Chef’s Choice. The 2020 Frankinja Grand Vin from Marof in Slovenia was absolutely stunning! A very cozy and unforgettable dining experience. Can’t wait to return!

We went here with a group of 12 and they served us well. We had a starter round and then a mains each. Very friendly personnel, they spoke English. They had a couple special, homemade non-alcoholic drinks.

We had an absolutely amazing time. All dishes were on point and very exciting. Personally, what I liked the most was the relaxed and chilled atmosphere. It didn't feel like a formal atmosphere, the staff was very nice, friendly and up for a joke or two. And this didn't impede the topclass service you'd expect from a place such as L'Escalier.

The dinner we had here a few weeks ago was delicious and the service wonderful. I had the steak frites and it was authentic like in France! I will return!
