ecco - Menú

"A family day was announced: breakfast, lunch, cafe, cinema were 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. There seemed to us to have the “ecco” restaurant the right concept. The homepage includes the keyword “CLEAN FOOD”. Everything that is “clean”, that is, as natural as possible, is unprocessed and without additives. For over ten years, the restaurant is already in existence. And you don't want to follow a fashion, but to continue developing with the guests. The application to vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free was due to customer requests; but also the usual is on offer. Ambience Outside there is a larger area for guests – certainly very pleasant in beautiful weather. Input area Inside is tightly chaired. Each meter room is used for tables. Theke and the containers for the buffet are also well placed. It was placed value on a factory-like facility (sight concrete ceiling – functional, something retro look etc. . This seems to be a good thing for the audience – it says less to me. But it is also practical to maintain. Place Cleanliness In the break time (10 to 3 p.m. a day, the places are occupied several times and are created quite quickly for the next guest. That's what the overall impression is. 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 The people in the service give themselves great effort to create the whole work. Guests can use the buffet themselves, but drinks are brought and the used dishes are removed. Many customers had registered, but also other potential guests also flow to the local. There had to be mediated or embroidered. Some people only book the fast buffet (an hour of power food; most want to eat in smaller or larger groups and chat with friends and be together. The map at the brunch On the homepage stands (here there are plenty of information of all kinds: Sunday to the scene “Schlemmerbüfett: 17,50 including an O juice” ... We make brunch every day, always from 10 a.m., always until 3 p.m. 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 naturally celiac rievkooche. Let's talk about the word VIEL. An accurate statement of what will be on the buffet is not possible. This is due to different 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 decide so clearly for quality....” Then a small sign with a description was always attached to all stations. For the breakfast part there were some cut cheese and Camembert. Salami and cooking ham were in the race. In another place there were scrambled eggs and Bacon. Several types of bread and small rolls gave enough possibilities to vary. The scrambled egg was for me the best from this area. 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 back for me the strongest department of the house. Noodles, vegetables, bread In a warming bowl there was a chili sine carne. I was curious. Now it was a high proportion of corn, some paprika and some beans. Sud was too sweet to me, the sharpness kept within limits. Chili sine Carne The pork was cut into quite small cubes and heavily smoked. Typical cashier 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 therefore the most successful variant. The three kinds of rubbish cakes were a bit greasy in my consistency and little spiced, but cooked, though not thin or crispy. In a plate with fish, I was at least done. Now in the warm-up box with lid, he's pulling. So the nautical laughter was a bit tough, overgart, little spicy. The dough plates were accordingly. Even the late zle was not better, but here the pieces of 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 very tasty in the mouth, but always slightly crumbling. The waffle hearts were however crispy, with warm cherries and some sauces being 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 tasty for me. I've eaten more of that in the end. Satt can be anyone here, even if you are limited to some offers. We drank a well-cooled prosecco (4.10 € for 0.1l and a lot of mineral water (Selters 6.90€ 0.75l). The card also has a wide range of liquids of all kinds. Conclusion 3 – if it may arise again. On this day, the offer did not appear as huge as we were engaged; but it was quite extensive. Some of us were prepared to be negligent. Bread and cake without gluten or Lactose seems to me to be rather cheerful and dry. But the effort is to be praised. The cuisine seems to me as a whole modest; because I'm sure I can do all this myself and sometimes better. But I don't need to buy the ingredients, sniff, stand in the kitchen and bake and cook, clean and rinse etc. It is a place with a lot of life and mood at guests and friendly service. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 06.11.2016 – Brunch – 5 people"
