About Gruber's Restaurant

Seit 1999 betreibt der Österreicher Franz A. Gruber, gelernter Koch, Restaurantfachmann und staatlich geprüfter Hotelbetriebswirt das Gruber´s Restaurant in Köln. Die gastliche Adresse in der Clever Straße ist schnell zu einer kulinarischen Institution in Köln geworden. Neben der Wärme österreichischer Gastfreundschaft sind es vor allem die Qualität der Speisen und das riesige Angebot feiner Weine und Brände aus der Alpenrepubik, die das Gruber´s zu einem Hort österreichischer Gastlichkeit gemacht haben. Das ist es aber nicht allein. Franz Gruber betont immer wieder, er sei ein Teamplayer: „Ohne meine motivierten Mitarbeiter wären wir nicht dort, wo wir heute stehen“.

It is one of the most prominent representatives of Austrian cuisine in Cologne. In addition to traditional flavors, its menu also features modern and creative interpretations of these dishes. Furthermore, vegetarian options ("Die grüne Alpen") are available.

For me personally the best Wiener schnitzel in Köln (second place goes to gasthaus Scherz), very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Can also recommend to have the lunch menu.

Delicious food and exceptionally friendly service. They really went out of their way to speak English, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!

Gruber's was an invitation for a business 3-course dinner. The place is a sophisticated setting, ideal for a professional gathering. Upon arrival, we were impressed by the elegant atmosphere and the attentive service. The 3-course dinner menu offered a range of exquisite dishes, and we were pleased to find that the cuisine was expertly prepared and presented. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with flavours and textures that complemented each other beautifully. The wine selection was also a great addition to the palate, with a variety of options that paired seamlessly with the meal. Throughout the evening, the staff were courteous and efficient, ensuring that our needs were met and that the dinner progressed smoothly. Overall, Gruber's proved to be an excellent choice for a business dinner, providing a refined and comfortable environment in which to engage in meaningful discussions and build relationships.
