Alter Bahnhof Frechen : Kölner Str. 39, 50226 Frechen

We came to get some German beer after a friend's wedding function nearby, and were warmly greeted by the staff. Excellent service, very efficient and always served with a smile. My German is non-existent but they were extremely accommodating and were able to explain the choices in English. The atmosphere was friendly and had good vibes. I didn't have anything to eat having had lunch at my friend's wedding but you could see everyone else in the restaurant thoroughly enjoying their meals. I was contemplating on having a second lunch based on the look and smell of the food. My phone battery died as I had forgotten to bring an EU mains adapter, so the staff kindly agreed to charge my phone so I could contact my friends to see where they were. Their beer - all brewed in-house and a great selection - Lokstoff, Finchen and Saison-Bier. Saison-Bier being their season beer and it changing throughout the year. I visited in May and the seasonal beer was Maibock which was a darker shade with honey notes and reminded me of some lovely ales. I will definitely be dropping by here again the next time I'm in Cologne and would highly recommend. Thank you staff at Alter Bahnhof Frenchen.

Very friendly service and the kangaroo steak was top notch! I tried several local beers and all of them tasted great! To top it all off, the ambiance of this restaurant (that used to be a train station) was very cozy! :)

Excellent food and huge portions. I had the lamb steak and it was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, tender and very tasty. If you are looking for a quiet place, this may not be the right place as it gets busy and loud. The waitress are friendly, regularly checking on you and very helpful. My only disappointment is the salad as it is just tomatoes, corn, cabbage, beans and few more with just two options as dressing. As side dish it is only fries, fried potatoes or baked. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit. Recently went again and food was really good. Tried the smoked salmon and it was just perfect!
