Puszta-Hütte — Restaurant in Cologne

It’s very simple. Everyone goes here for gulash. You’re not getting salad, wurst or pommes here. There’s really nothing on the menu either- it’s either gulash with meat or just soup and each comes with a roll.

You also get a little half bowl of gulasch soup with it as a follow up. The taste is spicy and tasty and they pride themselves on not using any fake aromas or powders. The clientele have been coming here since they were kids wirh their parents or haven’t been back in a while.

That being said the portion size is nice but not huge so if you’re a person with a big appetite you might want an extra portion. (I mean what can you expect for that price) I‘m 68 kg, 174 cm with a moderate appetite and I think it’s sufficient but you might want a...
