Oosten in Frankfurt am Main

The service has seriously deteriorated. Great ambience still.

Cool location right on the Main, service friendly and quick, food and drinks were good. Parking difficult. Still happy again.

Best sun terrace in Frankfurt!🙌

Reserved 14 days in advance requesting a table by the window. Arrived promptly on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Acoustics worse than at the train station, you had to 'yell' to have a conversation. Hardly any air to breathe in the room. The request to open a window was ignored. Reservation at the window (please was made 14 days in advance) was not implemented. Mass processing. Prices too high for this type of location. Main courses delicious. Toast Croque Madame tasted 'burnt'. For 2 slices of toast and a handful of salad 16 euros is far too expensive. After the flood of guests had subsided, music was played that was way too loud. Again, no way to have a normal conversation with his friends. A relaxed Sunday should look different, completely different. Another note to the operator: the sanitary facilities are 'ugh', unkempt and you should definitely not go there before eating, because then you will no longer have an appetite. :-( For me it was the first and last time in the east. Conclusion 'nothing new in the east', I'll stay in the west of Frankfurt. :-)

Very nice view from the terrace

My drink had more syrup than anything. For the price I expected something better. A bit disappointed

A nice place on the outskirts of Frankfurt. The menu is compact, the prices are at Frankfurt level. The food is recommended.

Great location right on the Main, close to the ECB, reservations are recommended. The food is in no way inferior to the location. Therefore: Unreserved recommendation for all friends of the cultivated ambience and the sophisticated cuisine.

Were there on March 8, 2025 in the afternoon, in bright sunshine, great location on the Main with a view of Mainhattan. The prices are less nice: €9.50 for an Aperol Spritz and that with self-service at the bar is no longer really appropriate - despite all understanding of the situation in the catering industry.

Lovely place next to the river Great food

Fantastic view of the Frankfurt skyline.

Very courteous staff. We would be happy to come back

Good place for brunch. Several options, rich and good quality dishes. I ate croque madame (and from what I saw it is one of the most requested dishes) and I loved it! I recommend it. Good service, it took a while (Sunday, many people). They accept dogs.

A top location with a perfect view!

The guys from zoll rated 10, instead I was down for information, he was a plumper guy.....you can see from the plane that he is the MOTHER of the frustrated...you talk to him in English, and he talks to you in German....it's a mess 🤬

Good brunch place with a nice river and skyline view.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and great views. Unfortunately, sometimes there is a very loud background noise when there are a lot of guests there.

Nice atmosphere, good selection on the breakfast menu, nice surroundings with a view of the water. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff.

Excellent spot to a brunch by the river. Friendly staff. (Visited in 2015)

Absolutely!! The location by the water - simply beautiful!!!! Today I ate ricotta gnocchi with basil pesto, fried cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese and roasted sunflower seeds... just "mmmmmhhhh" - DELICIOUS! My partner ate rocket salad with corn, beans, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms, which included fried triplets and two great Maultaschen. He really enjoyed it too!!! We both drank a Chardonnay from the South African winery Spier because we were both there recently. That topped it off. Friendly staff on top of that. The perfect stop for a nice winter walk along the Main!!! Marianne Brust and Rainer Schindler

Having a coffee at the top of the roof terrace was great, would love to go again! 👍

Very vulgar place, it appears to be something, but only its location is worth it, very poor and very expensive menu.

You have to queue for 40 minutes to buy water. Water bottle was dirty. Service is very slow.

Amazing ambience and delicious food. We were a little late and feared we would loose our reservation, but the staff was quite considerate and offered us the next table available. My wife went for zanderfillet and i choose chicken, we would recommend both without hesitation.

Very well organized, great view, delicious drinks.

Friendly, warm, delicious! The grilled chicken salad and penne arrabiata were fresh, flavorful and highly recommended!

Nice location. Very child friendly. However, it tends to get crowded and therefore loud, especially on weekends. It's worth making a reservation. Good food and drink selection. At prices that are expensive but comparable to other locations.

Ein schönes Lokal in aussergewönlicher Lage. Die Einrichtung ist Modern, aber trotzdem gemütlich. Das Speisenangebot ist vielfältig und preislich absolut in Ordnung. Ein Lob dem freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Servicepersonal

Modern atmosphere. Service is very good, as you can easily accommodate groups. We all had our food at the same time, which is quite an achievement. The food tasted very good, but the offering was a bit limited.

Delicious food, nice ambience and friendly staff.

The food and drinks are very good. The restaurant was well attended. Staff is nice but nothing more.

Super friendly, tasty and a great location with a view of the Frankfurt skyline.

Amazing experience throughout! Food was incredible - the quality was amazing and the Pumpkin soup as a starter was so good I would have loved seconds. The staff was super nice and the whole atmosphere created an amazing vibe.

The food was great, we took two dishes from the breakfast menu (which is available until 14:00). We came on a really sunny Sunday, so the place was full, and the waitresses were stressed and therefore the service wasn't very pleasant. And finally the prices are pretty high... but the location is great. Overall, our experience was great

Friendliness is a foreign word there. Overpriced and rude employees!

I like this Place. And Oosten guys, you can thank me for this picture.

Great food and amazing view of the river

We were there today with a birthday group and unfortunately found the service very poor. The waitress spread a really bad mood and loudly attacked guests who had mistakenly sat down without asking in a really harsh tone. She didn't smile once in the 3.5 hours and looked annoyed throughout. Unfortunately, this had an impact on our well-being. The food was okay, but we had to ask twice for a drink because it was forgotten and prices like 5 euros for a simple tea are far too overpriced in our opinion. We therefore do not recommend a repeat visit.

Definitely cool location. However, there's always a long wait in line because it's self-service. So it's always difficult to go alone because of the space you have to leave behind. Prices also a bit too expensive for the quality.

The cake and the quality are only poor after the Corona break. It's a shame it was really good before that.

Even though the store was very busy, the service had everything under control and was always friendly and reliable. Boldly flavored food.

What a pleasant surprise! Seminars are not always held in exciting locations. Here my morning walk along the Main took me to this cool harbor location where I was able to spend my day. Great view, great staff! And delicious food too. What can I say: full 5 points, keep it up!

We often go there for breakfast. It always tastes good. You don't have to wait long for your orders. Service super friendly and accommodating. Ambience very inviting. 😊

Enjoy the sunset on the roof terrace! 3 floors integrated into the old crane system. Nice view of the Main.

Very nicely located. I find the prices to be on the higher side. Service was super fast and friendly.

Loud, hectic, too few staff who hardly pay any attention to you, the prices are in the upper price range. Unfortunately, the starter and main course (soups and pasta) were brought at the same time. A no-go, especially since we weren't asked whether we could bring everything together. The soup was good, pasta with huge pieces of garlic and a lot of oil (not so good) 7.50 euros for what was supposed to be freshly squeezed orange juice. 0.4 liters was promised. 0.3 liter glass was brought. The juice didn't taste freshly squeezed, it came from the bag. My impression: you want to play in the upper league with the prices, but then the service and quality and ambience (we were sitting inside and a pigeon walked between our feet...) also have to be right. Too bad.

Laut, hektisch, zu wenig Personal, welches einen auch kaum beachtet, die Preise sind gehobene Preisklasse. Vor - und Hauptspeise (Suppen und Pasta) wurden leider nach viel zu langer Wartezeit zeitgleich gebracht. Ein No-go, zumal wir auch nicht gefragt wurden ob man alles zusammen bringen darf. Die Suppe war gut, Pasta mit riesigen Knoblauchstücken und sehr viel Öl (weniger gut) 7,50 Euro für einen angeblich frisch gepressten Orangensaft. 0,4 liter wurde versprochen. 0,3 liter Glas wurde gebracht. Der Saft hat nicht frisch gespresst geschmeckt, kam aus der Tüte. Mein Eindruck: man will mit den Preisen in der oberen Liga spielen, dann muss Service und Qualität und Ambiente (wir saßen drinnen, zwischen unserer Füßen ist eine Taube entlang gelaufen..) aber auch stimmen. Schade.

The waiter was a bit unfriendly. It was also not asked whether you would like to reorder.

As a connoisseur who appreciates food prepared with craftsmanship and good taste based on first-class products, I come to this conclusion: High-priced event catering.

A great evening with 20 people joining for a very nice team event.

The food was great, but was initially served without cutlery and a second drink order was completely forgotten. The ambience outside on a sunny Sunday was really great, but the service could still be improved a bit.

Cappuccino really tasty, water for €8 sorry totally exaggerated, atmosphere very good, great location and very nice staff. The only thing I didn't understand was that many people were waiting and yet many tables weren't available.

Very good food and nice service

It was good but it's not like that, it's not possible to reach this restaurant by car and despite the rain you wouldn't be very happy arriving there

Had a very nice birthday party! Despite the location and prices, it's not a tourist trap! :)

Very attractively served dishes that also taste good and were served courteously.

Great food and amazing service . Very calm place .

Top Service, sehr aufmerksam. Qualität Schnitzel und Lachs waren top Preis Leistung absolut gerechtfertigt Das das Ambiente am Wasser überragen ist ist selbstredend 🙏

Absolutely recommended! I asked the Oosten for a company dinner for 25 people and was absolutely thrilled. The reservation was quick and uncomplicated, the team got in touch immediately and suggested a great menu selection. The service was excellent and the atmosphere on the Main was simply unbeatable. Especially with larger groups you can tell that the Oosten has experience - everything went smoothly. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful evening. Unfortunately, such excellent service is rare in Frankfurt, so a clear recommendation!

Wer das jährlich stattfindende Konzert des HR an der Weseler Werft besuchen möchte, findet auf dem Dach des Restaurants Oosten eine wunderbare Aussichtsplattform. Im Restaurant selbst haben wir vor dem Konzert gut zu Abend gegessen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist in Ordnung.

Gutes Essen für unsere große Gruppe. Sommerfest mit 45 Personen - ist super gelaufen. Tolles Essen, alles sehr gut getimed, aufmerksame Bedienung - eine Runde Sache. Schade war, dass es freitags um 22.30 hieß: Last Order - wir wären gerne noch geblieben. Und das es weder Grappa noch Obstler gab, hätte ich so nicht erwartet.

Oosten by Concert at the Weseler Werft Anyone who would like to attend the annual HR concert at the Weseler Werft will find a wonderful viewing platform on the roof of the Oosten restaurant. We had a good dinner in the restaurant itself before the concert. The price-performance ratio is okay.

I'm not disappointed, Lepsi is in the pictures.

Fine dining of high quality. Nothing for the small wallet directly under the ECB.

Unfortunately, service was very unfriendly. Food was OK. Unfortunately I found a hair in the food - disgusting!

We were turned away despite there being numerous free seats - not recommended for “just drinks”.

always good after work or at the weekend

We didn’t have a reservation but we got a seat after few minutes. The service was fast even dough the restaurant was full. We ordered the daily special one with chicken and the other with octopus. Both were really good and nicely presented. The prices are a bit high especially of the drinks. Unfortunately the terrace was not open today no idea why and many people were waiting to be seated.

Wonderful ambience, great view. Nice staff, good food.

Very good food with a great view of the Main in the Osthafen. You can park cheaply at the hotel nearby and only walk a few meters

Good food and drink (e.g. in the Skybar), but the price is disproportionate, despite the great view (€5 for 0.3 beers).

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight. Lamb kababs with couscous, salad and hummus. Perfect meal for us diabetics and absolutely delicious! Highly recommended. Thanks.

Nice location, unfortunately the food was completely overpriced considering the quality.

I recently visited a restaurant for brunch and was quite impressed with the overall quality. The dishes were very good and tasty, especially considering the reasonable prices. However, I found the scrambled eggs to be a bit too heavy on the fatty bacon, which slightly overshadowed the dish. Despite this, the brunch experience was delightful and I would recommend it for its value and flavor.

We were invited to this restaurant for a wedding. Wonderful location right on the Main. Great location with a large outdoor terrace. The food was really great and completely met my taste. First there was burrata with tomato, rocket and shaved parmesan cheese. The main course was a lamb skewer with couscous, chickpeas and beetroot hummus. Rarely have I had such a perfectly seasoned and harmonious dish. There were also fresh, crunchy and fried vegetables. Finally, there was a mango pannacotta with a fruit sauce made from raspberries. There is nothing negative to say about the service itself either. Attentive, quick and friendly. If we are in Frankfurt again, we will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Best place in Frankfurt! friendly service!

Nice summer festival location with a good view. Staff very friendly.

Very nice place, but as well quite expensive.

The location is special, the preparation of the food is fast, our waiter was nice and smiling, but the rest you can see that they are under pressure; not smiling back at you (it’s okay, we all have those days). Honestly because of the high price I wouldn’t go there again… maybe in 3 years if i had to.

In general really good. It needs a reservation, but it´s normal for the season. All meals around 30€, which is an avarage price in germany. We had a good time there! One negative point would be the waiter, who actually was kind of ignoring us all time. We asked her 3 or 4 times (in german, in english, even in spanish) to bring another bottle of wine, but she kept saying she was super busy.... even tougth we saw her doing smalltalk with other waiters.

There's a nice view here, but the service was just average and the prices, even in this location, were just outrageous. 5 euros for a tea bag of ginger tea in a paper cup is cheeky.

You need to take an Aperol and enjoy the beautiful view of the city and river. Trains passing by also add to the charm of this place.

A perfect place by the river… great location with a view of the Main and the skyline, cozy and pretty furnishings inside and out, attentive and very friendly service (and you shouldn't forget that they are really stressed), delicious food and an extensive drinks menu ... you can wonderfully spend a few hours here! And if you can end the Sunday evening on the roof terrace with cool music, you are in a very relaxed and relaxing place. Thank you for many wonderful hours with you ❤️

Nice restaurant / cafe right on the banks of the Main. A bit touristy, not for locals but worth a visit. We had 6 different menus, although the schnitzel and steak were a bit overpriced, but the risotto with the beef was a dream (see picture).

Nice location with public toilet

Food, Services & Drinks were fantastic.

I would give 2.5 stars. The food is very tasty but a bit overrated for the price. The service was very impatient and a bit annoyed. I ordered a wet Martini without spritz and they just poured me pure Aperol. This is supposedly their martini fuero that they offer. Definitely a significant minus when it comes to drinks.

We have already been able to accompany events in the Oosten several times. In addition to the fantastic location directly on the banks of the Main with a view of the skyline, the friendly, courteous staff is particularly worth mentioning. This makes the crucial difference to other locations.

Nice ambience, service OK, prices a bit higher than usual but manageable.

Wanted to have something to eat here on a Saturday evening at 9:30 p.m. The order was more or less taken at first by a very arrogant and snooty waitress. 2 minutes later another waiter came and said the kitchen was already closed... Why don't we just say this... The ambience and location is actually really nice... but service and friendliness are unfortunately lacking...

Das war reine Zeit und Geldverschwendung....habe noch nie im Leben so schlecht gegessen und die Köche sollten sich einen anderen Beruf wzu legen...zu viel Zucker, Öl, Salz überall und richtig langweilige Gerichte, die man selbst 100mal besser machen kann....die Toiletten unzumutbar, unhygenisch und fettfeindlich...man konnte kaum in die Kabinen um auf die Toiletten zu gehen...ich würde eher 0 Sterne geben....

Food is great; it was really busy on Saturday; a little slow on serving food; great location and cozy vibe;

Great view of the Main and skyline

If you want to show your friends an exciting part of Frankfurt, then the Oosten is definitely a good address. Located directly on the Main, directly under the ECB and in a former industrial landscape. The view of the skyline is very beautiful and therefore you have a good point on the program. The Oosten...also good. But when it came to the food, I was pretty disappointed. I expected much more.

We were spontaneously in the Oosten today and wanted to have a coffee. The iced coffee consisted of coffee and a scoop of ice cream and was warm. In addition, the coffee was so strong, it felt like they just poured espresso together. Unfortunately, service was overwhelmed and it took longer until we got there and even longer until we were allowed to pay. The ambience is very nice right next to the ECB with a view of the skyline. I'll give the restaurant another chance because I hope it's just an exception and not the rule.

Best scrambled eggs ever!!! And the employees are super friendly! Super Service

Great location directly between the ECB Tower and the Main.

A nice view at the correspondingly unreasonable prices.

Chic and beautiful....food and staff are great.

Great Place to hang out near the river…very nice service, food could improve
