Very good dining experience at maiBeck! We had a very enjoyable evening at maiBeck in Cologne. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive overall. The highlight of the evening was definitely the ray as the main course. It was cooked very well - tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with the accompanying elements. A standout dish that clearly shows the kitchen’s quality and skill. Apart from that, the overall experience was positive. All in all, maiBeck offers high-quality cuisine in a relaxed yet refined setting. A place we would happily recommend and visit again.

A true hidden gem here. If you want to try a really traditional dish, the blood sausage cannot be missed. It's so unique to this place you won't find it anywhere else. And it didn't taste bloody at all. And they did some kind of black magic with the barley to get the textures all playing along. I never knew kale could taste like this either. A true delight This has gotta be the highlight. Though the beef cheek and the pumpkin dumplings were incredible as well. I've also not had bread like this, it comes as a side with the meal so don't eat it all in one go! Leave room for the rest! You really can go wrong with anything here. Highly recommend here if you're passing through. The staff are mega lovely and will recommend anything you're feeling like. And explain the menu very well

Somewhere between high end and fine dining. They accommodated a vegetarian with the menu which was nice and the whole experience was very nice and comfortable. My only critic would be that the duck was slightly over done. As I don’t eat fick that often, maybe my heights were set quite high. Also, the inclusion of parsnips seemed to be a little over used! All in all an enjoyable experience which was still expensive, but tasty.

Great food and wine at a fair price point. You can have the set menu or dine à la carte. the quality of the food is as good as it gets. The service is super nice and trying hard to give you a great experience but was a little bit overwhelmed this time. The atmosphere is modern and clean. I'll recommend it to my friends.

My friend and I were here for dinner on a Saturday. The atmosphere is a bit bland and cold, maybe underwhelming compared to what you could expect. We were served by multiple people, apparently not very experienced or at ease to speak English. The food was actually good and different, fairly priced for the quality, and I would return for it. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for service. My friend wrote in her booking that she was pregnant, ordered zero alcohol wine, asked many questions on cheese pasteurization and still, when we ordered a sorbet for dessert nobody told her it contained alcohol. Luckily we asked and the waitress confirmed there was alcohol in it. My friend was obviously upset, so another guy came to explain that “it’s all ok because alcohol is only used at the beginning of the process and the chef is a father so he knows it’s fine.” They did not charge us for that, but it was definitely not the level of experience you would expect in this kind of restaurant.
