What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Tigermilch for its outstanding, flavorful, and creative Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine, with many highlighting the unique taste experiences and excellent cocktails like the Pisco Sour. While the food is generally loved, some guests find the pricing to be on the higher side, and a few mention issues with the acoustics making conversation difficult, or dishes arriving all at once.
"We were a large group and everyone was extremely satisfied. The food was absolutely amazing.
The only aspect I didn’t love was the decoration: it felt a bit too plain for a Peruvian restaurant. That said, I understand the style is meant to be more refined and minimalist, rather than colorful or traditional. It’s purely a personal preference, and it didn’t take away from the overall experience, which is why I’m still happy to give 5 stars."

"Place was nice and cosy. Food was delicious. Only things I have to say was that the ceviche chifa of tuna wasn’t really a ceviche for me, was more like a tuna tartar. And the other thing was that I don’t think that the idea of 3 dishes per person attaches to the reality, with 2 dishes is more than enough. Last thing was that I didn’t like that they bring all the dishes at the same time. We waited for too long until all the food came at the same time, it is better in my opinion to bring whenever dishes are getting ready."
Clara Cape
"We came as a larger group with reservation and had ordered our meals in advance. We were not informed until after we arrived that one of the options that almost everyone in the group ordered was not available, so instead of 3 options, most of us were only offered 2. Despite pre ordering, we waited a very long time for our food. We were seated outside, which was comfortable enough. Food was well prepared, but not my personal preference."

From patatas bravas to snails: our best tapas restaurants in Cologne
Tigermilch steht für die moderne peruanische Küche, in der ausprobiert, gemischt, verrührt und kreiert wird. Heraus kommt eine bunte Mischung fusionierter Tapas-Gerichte und Cocktails, die sich aus traditionellen Familienrezepten, regionalen Produkten und internationalen Einflüssen (arabisch, spanisch, afrikanisch oder auch japanisch) zusammensetzt. Konkret heißt das, dass du zum Beispiel Adlerfisch mit Mango, Granatapfel, Bananenchips und Kokosmilch probieren kannst, oder ein Pilz-Quinoa Risotto mit Cognac und Parmesan.
Ein Mix verschiedener Esskulturen – Fusion Food in Köln – Geheimtipp Köln
Im belgischen Viertel überzeugt Tigermilch mit erstklassiger peruanischer Küche und einem Hauch japanischer Impressionen. Die angebotenen Speisen haben einen internationalen Hauch und eines meiner Lieblingsgerichte hier ist “Zanahoria Cachanga”: Möhre, Avocado, knusprige Haselnusstempura dazu süße Maulbeere, mehr muss eigentlich nicht gesagt werden, außer dass es himmlisch schmeckt!. Dazu noch ein toller Pisco Sour oder Maracuja Sour und der Abend ist perfekt.

authentic international cuisine in Cologne
Peruvian cuisine is known for its delicate acidity and aromas. Situated between the South Pacific, Andes and Amazonas, Peru is the country that gave us pisco sour and ceviche. The latter is a wonderfully fresh-tasting fish dish that comes in dozens of versions and is cured in a lightly spiced lime marinade called leche de tigre.

The first time I went to this Peruvian restaurant, I’m pretty sure we ordered nearly every single dish on the menu. The menu features hot and cold Peruvian dishes, such as ceviche and lomo saltado, with a surprising number of vegan and vegetarian friendly selections. In fact, the mushroom ceviche was one of my favorites!
