23/04/2025: We had a really great experience with Rafaels Restaurant. Two weeks ago we got married in Kolding and took our small wedding party (20 people) for lunch here. After reaching out via E-Mail, Jake quickly responded that he is more than happy to open up the restaurant for us, even though our event happened during the day when they aren’t opened yet. After just a short call, we could arrange an amazing lunch for our guests together with Jake and his team. On the day of our wedding everything went super smoothly and they decorated a little separé-room in the cellar for us with beautiful flowers. Our waitress (Erika) took really good care of us and our guests. Every wish was taken care of, she worked very discretely and professionally and was super friendly and nice. All of our guests enjoyed the food a lot and made sure to give their compliments to the chef. We had a selection of starters (bruschetta, different cuts of meat and Tomato mozarella), followed by the squid ink pasta vongole and a mushroom risotto, which was highly praised. To finish off, we got served eight pizzas which all got eaten, even though we were all full already. While we were served with the preordered food, it was no problem for the team to let the three children of our party chose a meal from their kids menu and serve this also a little bit earlier to cater to the needs of the little ones. We are really really happy with our decision to celebrate our wedding day here. The whole event went by so smoothly and we could totally focus on us and our guests. We can highly recommend this place for small events and want to thank the team once again for making our special day amazing. Tammy & Jakob
