Tried the spaghetti with gambas and the saltimbocca here. Food is good but the spaghetti had way too much oil in it and the bed of veggies under the (incidentally, excellent) saltimbocca were drowned in whatever sauce they were stir-fried in. Pity.The panna cotta dessert was nice but would have been nicer without the hardened layer on top (guess it had been standing in the fridge too long).

The restaurant is located in the old town house of Bergisch Gladbach. There is underground parking places. Trying to park in front of the restaurant is dicey. They have small beer garden which is nice. The interior is big and traditionally decorated with a lot of wood. The place was renovated lately and was closed for a longer time. The place was renamed from âBrauhaus am Bockâ to âGaffel am Bockâ. The tripadvisor entry of the âBrauhaus am Bockâ still shows that it went out of business. The food is traditional too. Nothing sophisticated but yummy. The Kölsch is very good. The waiters are a little rough but kind. Like in all these traditional beer houses in the Rhineland.Hello Christian W,thanks for your review, we liked it a lot. Parking in front of our house is actually really a bit difficult, but as you mentioned, their are underground parking places.We hope to see you again at the Gaffel am Bock.Kind regardsGaffel am Bock team

La Fornace - Ristorante und Pizzeria Italienische, mediterrane Küche und Flair in Bergisch Gladbach Odenthal Voiswinkel,zwischen Köln und Leverkusen.
Reviewed By Eyekaytoo
It has been a very long while since we last visited La Fornace and I was really looking forward to re-discovering this Italian restaurant. Our party of 7 spanning three generations booked a table outside in the shade on a balmy Friday evening recently. The first thing I noticed was that all the personnel had changed. Service was OK and we were regularly topped up with drinks (Kölsch) as at least four of us were quite thirsty that night. To get things going in the right spirit I order an Aperol Royal Prosecco which I have been drinking a lot of recently. Here it came in a tiny glass - for over 4,00 Euro. I was disappointed. As a starter I liked the sound of baby calarmares with salad. I was dismayed, however to discover that it was a huge plate - certainly enough for a main course & in fact one of our party did, indeed order it as his main course. I followed this with a pizza diavolo which was also huge - I simply couldn't finish it. I suppose having too much is better than not having enough but I just felt overwhelmed...The others in our party were satisfied enough. They had a range of dishes all of which were well cooked. Somehow I left with mixed feelings. The place had somehow changed for an atmospheric point of view. One of the waitresses who could hardly speak German let alone English which somehow seemed to sum it up for me - there was the missing homely, friendly feel about the whole place which I remember from the past. Sorry, but for me I classify it now as "average" even though my 13 year old son thought it was "excellent" because he liked his pizza margarita :-)

The food was surprisingly good and the waiter was very nice. His English was very good and he made us feel welcome. It's only a short walk down the hill from the Schloss Bensberg where we stayed.

On a business trip so eating alone. Very good food and nice house wine. Good service and delicious desert. Pleasant terrace to sit as weather was good. Will make this my regular when in Bergisch Gladbach.Only the architecture spoils the place.

Nice terrace. Three of us came in late without a reservation but they took our drinks order promptly. After quite a long time also our diner order. Dinner took a long time to come. Food was average. Atmosphere was good except for a very loud baritone Gentlemantalking at another table.

We ate here a few times while staying at the hotel, for lunch and dinner.The menu captures traditional Italian options, as well as a few "creative interpretations" which provide for an interesting variation on Italian cuisine. The wine is Italian, complemented by outstanding Italian sparkling wine.We loved our times here, and saved our final dinner at the hotel for this restaurant. It was definitely worth it!

The last time I went to this restaurant was back in the mid-seventies and how it has changed to the positive !The decor is what I can only describe as "cosy" with lots of wood panelling on the walls, old pictures and objects, including old water syphons and droepelminnas. Where does this strange name of the restaurant come from ? Well, it´s basically the local name for a three-legged metal coffee pot and there are several samples to be seen in the restaurant. "Droepel" means "drip and "minna" is the housekeper !The food leans towards Mediterranean cuisine and is certainly good value compared with the two famous Michelin-starred restaurants in Bergisch Gladbach. It´s impossible to compare and I would certainly not attempt to do so here. However, suffice it to say that the four and six-course menus here are tasty, well presented and a fraction of the cost of those at the aforementioned hotels. The choice of wine is certainly not to be scoffed at either. As the menu was a surprise, I wasn´t sure which wine to choose, but the waiter advised me well and I was very pleased with his choice.I can certainly recommend this restaurant for a relaxed, tasty and all-round positive dining experience. Guten Appetit !!

Reviewed By endoedibles
Toqued by Joachim Wissler since 2000, and holding three Michelin stars since 2004, Restaurant Vendôme is located approximately thirty minutes east of Cologne inside Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg, the surrounding environs beautifully manicured and clientele largely well-heeled Europeans. One of over fifty starred-Chefs trained on the grounds of Traube Tonbach, a career that began in 1980 jumping indirectly from Schwarzwaldstube to Schloss Bensberg where a style marked by whimsy quickly caught the eye of critics, it is now nearly two decades later that Wissler continues to cook inside the small kitchen, a team at his side crafting edible works of art offered via one of several tasting menus.Light and airy in ambiance, just twelve tables and less than forty diners seated Wednesday through Sunday including weekend lunch, it is from underground parking that guests pass through gardens en route to refinements, staff proper but not at all stiff and happy to answer questions or grant requests.Priced â¬165 to â¬295 exclusive of Wine, each menu presenting choices along the way, it is even before decisions are made that diners are greeted with Aperitifs and small bites, a quartet of flavors immediately showing Chef Wisslerâs fondness for modernity and highlighted by Goose Liver âPeanut Butter Cupsâ as well as an airy Cookie sandwiching hand-cut Wagyu topped in Osetra Caviar.Opting for Chefâs largest âsymphony,â a nearly four-hour opus consisting of ten-courses that followed opening bites with warm Bread and Butter from Bernard Antony, it was while indulging in a Roll dotted by Olives that locally produced Riesling was poured, the minerality and complex acidity playing well of a first plate of thinly sliced liver âMi Cuitâ topped by Bivalves and no less interesting as a partner to Octopus lacquered by Beets next to Tabouli with a sidecar of Cephalopod Sausage atop Tuna Tartare.Lucky to visit during Spring, the regionâs bounty and Joachimâs obsession with coaxing the most out of superior Ingredients both on full display, it would be difficult to deem either course three or four the mealâs best as both were magnificent, first a poached Egg tanned by Miso beneath Parmesan âSnow,â and then snappy Lobster served in two compositions with one brightened by Peppers and Tomatoes while the other found added sweetness from Melon perfumed by Vanilla.Saucing almost every dish tableside, aromas drifting upward as compositions were described at length, it was by roasting the remains that Char from Lech Valley took on depth to match roasted Leeks and balled Apples, Bones again coming into play as service piece for domestic Wagyu nearly raw with a bit of salt and condiments including Salted Plum and Creamed Corn molded to look like the real thing.Taking the Maître D's advice to finish with Lamb instead of Guinea Fowl, three cuts including Offal wrapped by a Crepe dazzling in part due to bold spicing covering a wide swath of Asia, it was transitioning from savory to sweet that fun again was on display via a composed Cheese dish featuring molten Fourme dâAmbert at the center of a Doughnut and Williams Christ Pear Sorbet atop Blue Crumbles on the side.Taking Cheese even sweeter for the first of two Desserts, Quark and a mellow Cowâs Milk variety forming both Cake and Crème Brulee accompanied by Raspberries, it was admittedly Vendômeâs most unexpected triumph that saw Asparagus used not once but thrice in an elegant finale, the bowl of Ganache particularly memorable before finishing up with traditional German Cookies, Marshmallows, a housemade Magnum and Snickers Bar.
