OSMAN 30 in Köln

Great service and amazing view to Cologne!

Unfortunately we were disappointed. The best thing first: was definitely the view. The view is of course great and it's not worth going there for that... But unfortunately, the restaurant can't offer anything more than just drinking a cocktail. You can definitely tell from everything in the interior that the store is getting old. Scratched and damaged tables everywhere, rancid and uncomfortable chairs, dirty corners, especially on the floor. We walked into the restaurant full of anticipation and both of our jaws felt like they dropped when we saw what we had booked here. The entire, cool interior has a canteen feel. If we hadn't reserved the table (with the following penalty of €59 per person via credit card if you don't keep your reservation), we would have left immediately. Of course, our expectations for the 3-course menu were correspondingly high… which unfortunately were confirmed. The food was beautifully prepared, but there was nothing more than pub level in terms of taste and cuisine 👎🏼 it's a shame. The service was equally unprofessional. But the store can't help it; unfortunately, you can hardly find good staff these days. Basically, the restaurant has great potential, just because of its location, but the owner doesn't seem to recognize and implement it. Unfortunately we were very disappointed and won't be coming back 👎🏼

Amazing view over a beautiful city. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. However, that was some time ago. We were there again on April 19, 2025 and very disappointed. It started with the table assignment after we were taken from below in the freight elevator to the 30th floor. The restaurant was manageably busy. However, we got a table in a less beautiful, more secluded part. I'm not suggesting that this was due to the wheelchair user in our group. After we sat down, the table was set with two tea lights, which were only lit when we left. The service was unable to answer questions about food or drinks without first asking the kitchen. The food was just mediocre. For example, the beef was more reminiscent of boiled beef in soup than of a mayor piece. Chanterelle sauce and noodles were not of the expected quality of a restaurant in this category. The pasta wasn't homemade, the sauce was rather bland. There was no noticeable taste of wild garlic in the wild garlic gnocchi. When making your reservation you will be asked to wear “casual business attire”. I expect that, at least the staff corresponds to this image. Here we noticed at least some of the female service staff who had the opposite appearance. Overall, the visit was a really disappointing, expensive experience, which resulted in two of the guests taking part suffering from health problems in the form of diarrhea. The brilliant view of the city doesn't make up for it either.

For our wedding celebration in 2022 we have booked the Osman 30 Exclusive for 90 guests. We ate, drank and celebrated in private. The food was really very good. The service could be improved somewhat and in some cases did not do justice to the location. The location is also not air-conditioned, so it depends on the outside temperature (a hot summer day for us) was sometimes unbearable. It was also proven that the rented photo box from a separate provider was damaged by the location's cleaning staff after it left the location. The damage was around €2000.00 because it was custom-made. The provider had assessed the damage on site and was able to prove that it was at the expense of Osman 30. After contacting the Osman 30 management to clarify the matter (Ms. Scheelens), no agreement was reached. After contacting him several times and threatening a court settlement, Osman then spoke out and reported the damage to his insurance company. Osman 30's insurance company wanted to settle the damage for €300. Osman 30 should cover the difference himself. You didn't comply with this request and kept looking for excuses. I was also struck by Ms. Scheelens' arrogant demeanor throughout the entire communication. In the end we paid the €2000.00 out of our own pocket. The location is really nice and, as already mentioned, the food was top class. The behavior towards paying customers was unacceptable...

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great view and good food. In the nice weather we were able to enjoy the great view on the terrace at lunchtime. Suitable for celebrating special occasions. We felt very comfortable.

The view is, of course, the highlight. The ambiance isn't convincing. The food, however, was very good, albeit very expensive.

An all-round successful evening! We had the pleasure of dining at Osman 30 and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, the service is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The view from the 30th floor was fantastic. The food was excellent – ​​fresh, creative and prepared with great attention to detail. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend the restaurant!

Good food, modern ambience, friendly service and fantastic views.

Attentive service, great views and tasty food.

Something different. The view is of course magnificent. The food is nicely prepared and tastes good (except for several slip-ups when adding salt). You definitely pay extra for the special location. The bulgur from the starter was unfortunately too salty, as was the spinach from the ravioli and the cordon bleu. Something like that shouldn't happen in fine dining. The menu actually came with 2 homemade chocolates. These were forgotten but were re-served upon request.

It was a really nice evening. The ambience, the service and the food were simply wonderful. I would like to thank everyone very much. It was a pleasure to spend this evening with you.

Mega tasty, nice ambience, awesome view, friendly staff. All in all it was a great evening. Thanks! The vegan menu was excellent and the dessert was indescribably delicious for everyone at the table

Apart from the ambience, it's just mass instead of class.

Very nice location... something very special...

Der Abend im Osman30 war , ja wie war er eigentlich? Durchwachsen, Durchschnittlich, durchaus mit Luft nach oben, trifft es am besten. Pünktlich um 18:00 Uhr angekommen, waren wir erfreut, den gewünschten Tisch am Fenster erhalten zu haben. Erhalten haben wir auch direkt die Speisekarte nebst Weinkarte. Dann war der, eigentlich in ausreichender Zahl vorhandenen Service, erst mal verschwunden. Als es uns dennoch gelungen war den Aperitif zu bestellen, folgten unmittelbar danach das leckere Brot nebst der tollen Vorspeise. Dann hatten wir die Chance sowohl eine Pause, als auch den Wein zu bestellen. Dieser wurde dann auch kredenzt, wobei die Wartezeit vermutlich ausgereicht hätte diesen beim Winzer direkt abzuholen. Das Cordon Bleu vom Huhn war auch toll, das wir zum Schluss den Wein selber holen und einschenken durften eher weniger. Kaffee und Pralinés haben den Abend geschmacklich abgerundet. Leider wirkte der Service den ganzen Abend eher uninspiriert, so das wir jetzt ne nicht wirklich wohl gefühlt haben.

Thank you for this impressive evening! Our company party was very successful and will be remembered by everyone. Very tasty food, courteous service and then a wonderful view over the whole city in a great ambience. We are happy to recommend it :-)

Reservamos sobre la base de la vista. No tan bueno como en las fotos. Nuestro taxi luchó para encontrar la entrada El servicio era muy puntual; rápido, luego lento Menú limitado. Muy cielo - precios altos (sic). Ambiente inexistente - como el restaurante en un down - at - heel motel. Muy decepcionado

Atmosphere is good as always, staff is friendly and professional. The food is good, some variations are really great and worth the price. But some things don't work at all. Nevertheless, you can still have a good meal here for a special evening.

The ambience was very nice. The meals were very tasty. The view rounded off the evening.

We got a table for 8 people very easily to have a drink. The cocktails were all very well prepared, looked good and were tasty. The view is magnificent. The service was friendly and attentive.

Magnificent view of the Cologne skyline and a beautiful, dignified ambience above the roofs of the big city. The starter of the menu was excellent, the main course was only mediocre, but large enough. Service is friendly and guests are given enough time to enjoy the evening. We really liked that. The only downside was that we only noticed in the car that we had been charged for a “decoration” of 15 euros that we had not ordered. So we had to go back and the incorrectly calculated amount was refunded. What surprised us when we entered the restaurant was that every window table was equipped with a balloon. We only now know that this is charged after an otherwise lovely evening without asking. So please be careful!!

Good and unique mixture of flavors with exceptional view of the city! Must try!

The service staff were mostly unprofessional but very presumptuous, which caused endlessly unpleasant and unfavorable situations… For the amount you pay and the effort it takes to get a table there, you automatically expect a certain level of quality, which is not satisfied. The food was delicious, a few creative things but not worth the price. Overall it wasn't a nice experience.

A real highlight in Cologne! The stylish ambience combined with the fantastic view over the city creates a special atmosphere. The food was excellent – ​​creative, fresh and incredibly tasty. The service rounded off our visit perfectly: warm, attentive and professional. Everything is just right here – clear 5 stars!

Ambience great. Unfortunately service wasn't that great. We waited a long time for our drinks and didn't really feel comfortable as guests.

Mega ambience, top service, delicious food, humane prices, always happy...

The food was fantastic and so was the view over the city. However, there are points deducted: only the freight elevator worked, and when you arrive at the restaurant you are faced with a completely overcrowded rolling clothes rack and wonder where your coat should be hung up. In winter you should expand your wardrobe capacity as clothing takes up more space. An exit to the terrace was blocked off with tape (construction site-like), which meant that all smokers had to go through our restaurant part to the terrace. This caused great unrest. We had actually planned to order the usual 3-course menu, but this had been replaced with a more expensive Christmas menu “since yesterday” (November 20th). You used to be able to choose from a selection of cheeses on a trolley, but unfortunately that is no longer possible. The service was friendly, but inattentive and certainly not a professional, which was evident when the food was served and taken away. My conclusion: The restaurant can't do anything about the extraordinary view. If it were anywhere else in the city, it certainly wouldn't be as popular. For me it was the last time.

The highest restaurant in Cologne! With an impressive view. But how was the food? We had the three course menu and everything was ok. Loveless service, little selection of wines, 4 x red, 2x rosé and various white wines. Every course was served without comment. Not explained what that is. The restaurant was also pretty empty and cold. Winter blankets were given out at the table next door because the room was so cold. Service was very young, a bit careless, communication was sometimes difficult because no German was spoken. Overall, I was disappointed.

It could be so beautiful... unfortunately that's only the case here with the great view. Food absolutely average, rather worse than better. The service was very attentive and friendly, but still very inexperienced. Very unfortunate.

Der Tisch war wirklich grandios und genau so, wie vorher bestellt am Fenster, mit Blick auf den Dom. Wir waren zu viert dort essen, zwei haben das 3-Gang Menü genommen, eine des 2-Gang Menü und einer des Rinderfilet. Das Essen war schön angerichtet und sehr schmackhaft. Die Weine ebenfalls sehr lecker. Leider war die Bedienung weder charmant noch irgendwie aufmerksam, was den Getränkenachschub anging. Für diejenigen, die das Menü hatten, wurde der Nachgang dann einfach vergessen. Wir saßen über 1 Stunde nach Beendigung des Hauptgerichts,immer noch ohne den den letzten Gang da. Auf Nachfrage kam dieser zwar noch, es wurde sich aber mit keinem Wort für die Verzögerung und das Vergessen entschuldigt. In der Bestellbestätigung von OpenTable hieß es, dass legere Business Kleidung erwünscht wäre. Leider haben wir dann dort oben in größerer Menge Gäste angetroffen, die mit Jogginghose, Sweatshirt und Käppi unterwegs waren. Dies war dem schönen Ambiente nicht unbedingt dienlich, wurde aber auch bei niemanden vom Personal beanstandet.

Sorry but the atmosphere is a disaster. Canteen feeling

The food was ok, but the value for money is absolutely not there. Unfortunately, we all had heartburn and sometimes stomach problems after eating. The view is really unbeatable, breathtaking over the rooftops of Cologne. The furnishings are rather "chic" - everything doesn't seem that high quality but rather a bit cheap. I would have expected tablecloths on the tables too. You kind of get the feeling that you're trying to join the big ones but it's not really working out. The service was mixed, some of the staff were very young and seemed a bit insecure. At the end, when we wanted to pay the bill separately, we were told that this was not possible and that we should please calculate our amounts ourselves - from a service perspective, this is bottomless. For this reason alone and considering how much money you are leaving there, it is an absolute disgrace and we cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances. There are far better ones in Cologne, not with the view, but with much better service and food that does justice to the price.

A great experience to enjoy such delicious food with one of the most beautiful views Cologne has to offer! We were there for a company event. There was a menu selection in advance. The coordination went very well and an adjustment was made to the menu for me as a vegan.

The price-performance ratio does not meet expectations. The food was not well prepared and there was considerable noise coming from the adjacent room where a private party was taking place; Loud music was also played at times. As soon as you exited the elevator, you noticed an unpleasant kitchen smell. The view and the drinks are appealing, but I wouldn't come here to eat again due to the above-mentioned deficiencies.

Nice view on the terrace, otherwise food OK, service OK, delicious drinks, but also very expensive.

If you're vegan, better not. As a vegetarian, well. The spaghetti was drowned in green pesto and only tasted like the Barilla Pesto jar. Re-salted and with parmesan it was ok. I gave the dessert to a colleague, who was happy. The view is of course great, but just too expensive. I was there almost three years ago.

Lots of show. Don't have to go here a second time, I've eaten better. My expectations were higher.

Den einen Stern gibt es für die unbestritten wundervolle Aussicht aus dem Restaurant, wenn es einem vergönnt ist, einen Tisch am Fenster zu belegen. Ein wenig getrübt wird die Aussicht allenfalls durch Soßenspritzer, die noch aus vergangenen Tagen am Fenster kleben. Der Stern für Sauberkeit fällt definitv weg. Die Einrichtung ist funktional modern, aber leider ohne jedes schalldämpfende Element, was die Unterhaltung in normaler Lautstärke abhängig von der Auslastung des Restaurants schwierig gestaltet. Ein gemütliches Ambiente sollte nicht auf der Anforderungsliste des Gastes stehen, ist aber wohl auch nicht jedermanns Sache. Mit den Speisekarten wurde uns die Weinkarte mit den Worten „Hier ist die Weinkarte, da können Sie mal reinschauen“ vorgelegt. Eine zurückhaltend formuliert ungewöhnliche Ansprache gegenüber einem Gast. Beim Einschenken aus der eingangs bestellten Flasche Wasser legte die Mitarbeiterin die Flasche hörbar auf den Glasrand auf. Beides nicht wirklich ein Stimmungskiller, aber Details, welches sich für den weiteren Verlauf des Abends als wegweisend für die Qualität des Service erweisen sollten. Ich habe mich für das 2-Gang-Menü mit „Cordon Bleu vom Label Rouge Schwarzfederhuhn, gefüllt mit Englischem Cheddar, mild geräuchertem Landschinken, glasierte junge Gemüse, Pastinakenpüree“ (sic!) entschieden und einen Sherry als Aperitif genommen. Meine Begleitung entschied sich für den Hirschkalbsrücken aus der Eifel und bestellte einen Wein zum Essen. Meine Vorspeise wurde ohne Nachfrage aufgetischt, bevor ich meinen Aperitif getrunken hatte. Der von meiner Begleitung bestellte Wein wurde hingegen zum Essen überhaupt nicht geliefert. Die Speisekarte, welche auf der Webseite des Restaurants eingesehen werden kann, erweckt zumindest den Eindruck, dass Essen oberhalb von Brauhaus-Niveau erwartet werden darf. Diese Erwartung wurde allerdings mit den Speisen, welche wir bestellt hatten, deutlich verfehlt. Es schmeckte nicht einmal schlecht, aber es schmeckte auch nicht gut. Die in der Speisekarte angedeutete Kreativität der Küche schlug sich nicht in einem bemerkenswerten Geschmackserlebnis nieder, welches sich als gedanklicher Merkposten für einen weiteren Besuch dieses Restaurants niedergeschlagen hätte. Als der zum Menü gehörende Kaffee mit Pralinen auch 20 Minuten nach Abräumen des Tisches nicht serviert worden war, bat ich um die Rechnung. Der Hinweis, dass der Wein nicht serviert worden sei, führte dazu, dass meiner Begleitung nun, nach Abschluss des Essens, „ein Schlückchen dieses Weines auf’s Haus“ angeboten wurde. Wir lehnten dankend ab, was die Servicekraft jedoch nicht davon abhielt, ein Glas aufzutischen. Meine Frage, ob ich den Kaffee als Teil des Menüs missverstanden hätte, wurde mit der Bemerkung abgetan, dass ich danach hätte fragen können (und offensichtlich auch müssen). Der Kaffee wurde immerhin mit der Rechnung noch vorgesetzt. Nachdem ich dann noch zweimal darum gebeten hatte, nun endlich zahlen zu dürfen, wurde uns auch diese Gnade gewährt. Es war wohl stillschweigendem Einvernehmen unter allen Beteiligten geschuldet, dass uns vor Ort zum Abschluss niemand danach fragte, ob es uns gefallen und das Essen geschmeckt habe. Daher an dieser Stelle zum Nachlesen und Reflektieren. Fazit: Man kann versuchen, bei Gästen, die nicht aus Köln kommen, mit einer Einladung in das Osman30 zu punkten. Der Fokus sollte dann aber von vornherein auf die Aussicht gelenkt werden und hinsichtlich der Qualität des Essens und des Service ein Warnhinweis erteilt werden. Sonst könnte es sein, dass sich gegenüber den Gästen ein Schamgefühl einstellt.

From the food to the selection of drinks to the service, it's incredibly good! We'll definitely be back! And thank you for the birthday serenade, you were great 🥰

The one star is for the undeniably wonderful view from the restaurant if you are allowed to occupy a table by the window. The view is only slightly marred by splatters of sauce still stuck to the window from days gone by. The star for cleanliness is definitely missing. The furnishings are functionally modern, but unfortunately without any sound-absorbing elements, which makes it difficult to have a conversation at a normal volume depending on how busy the restaurant is. A cozy atmosphere shouldn't be on the guest's list of requirements, but it's probably not for everyone. With the menus we were presented with the wine list with the words “Here is the wine list, you can take a look.” A reserved, unusual address to a guest. When pouring the bottle of water that was initially ordered, the employee audibly placed the bottle on the edge of the glass. Neither really kills the mood, but details that should prove to be groundbreaking for the quality of the service for the rest of the evening. I chose the 2-course menu with “Cordon Bleu from Label Rouge black feather chicken, stuffed with English cheddar, mildly smoked country ham, glazed young vegetables, parsnip puree” (sic!) and had a sherry as an aperitif. My companion chose the saddle of venison from the Eifel and ordered a wine with the meal. My starter was served without asking, before I had had my aperitif. However, the wine my companion ordered was not delivered with the meal at all. The menu, which can be viewed on the restaurant's website, at least gives the impression that food above brewery standards can be expected. However, this expectation was clearly missed with the dishes we ordered. It didn't even taste bad, but it didn't taste good either. The creativity of the kitchen indicated in the menu was not reflected in a remarkable taste experience, which would have served as a mental reminder for another visit to this restaurant. When the coffee with chocolates that was part of the menu had not been served 20 minutes after the table had been cleared, I asked for the bill. The information that the wine had not been served led to my companion being offered “a sip of this wine on the house” after the meal was over. We politely declined, but that didn't stop the waitress from serving us a glass. My question about whether I had misunderstood the coffee as part of the menu was dismissed with the comment that I could (and obviously should) have asked for it. At least the coffee was served with the bill. After I asked twice more to finally be allowed to pay, we were also granted this grace. It was probably due to a tacit agreement between everyone involved that at the end no one asked us whether we had liked it or whether we had enjoyed the food. Therefore, at this point to read and reflect. Conclusion: You can try to score points with guests who don't come from Cologne by inviting them to the Osman30. However, the focus should then be directed to the view from the outset and a warning should be given regarding the quality of the food and service. Otherwise you might feel embarrassed towards your guests.

Service staff very unfriendly, you don't have to give in. Not recommended for value for money.

A fantastic restaurant with a great view! 🍽️🌆 We spent our Christmas party here and it was just amazing! The food was delicious, the service attentive and the atmosphere perfect for special occasions. The view made the experience even more unforgettable. We'll definitely be back! 🎉🙌

Great restaurant. Food a bit flat but overall a very nice experience.

Unaffordable to miss when being in Cologne. The place offrrx beside excellent service a great view over downtown Köln plus in the evening a superb sunset over the western suburbs. Tonight, we had no food. Therefore, I cannot comment. We had just some drinks and cocktails. Bottomline, as said already, is unaffordable to miss, so go for it.

A package with a heart balloon, a rose and a table by the window was booked. Unfortunately, when we arrived, neither one nor the other had been taken into account. The service staff tried to organize a window seat within 10 minutes. The food was very good and we were full, despite the portions in the upscale restaurants. The prices were reasonable. We paid €170 including drinks for two people. I will come again, even if the service with the table and the decoration was a complete failure.

We had booked a gourmet dinner with chauffeur service for two people for €290. That day was my girlfriend's birthday. Unfortunately I overslept a bit and the booking was made at very short notice, but the most important thing is that it was still possible. I can't agree with the negative comments. Both my girlfriend and I really liked it. The Osman30 restaurant was not very busy, which created a pleasantly quiet atmosphere. The employees were extremely friendly and, above all, quick in service. Everything in the package was adhered to as agreed. The three-course meal was delicious and the portions were sufficient. Many thanks to the chef and the team. The only thing that was disappointing for me, but doesn't justify deducting a star, was the limousine we booked. I was a little disappointed when I didn't see a "white long" sedan as I was expecting this. Nevertheless, the driver brightened the mood again, which is why I give it five full stars.

wir sind mit dem taxi angereist. der empfang an der ersten wie letzte empfangsdame war sehr höflich und nett. mit dem fahrstuhl ging es dann ins restaurant. bedienung und aussicht 5++++ alle bedienungen waren auf zack. sauber gklwidet und immer ein auge auf den gast.:-) wir waren erst skeptisch wegen den vorigen negativen bewertungen, aber top. wir kommen wieder. wir hatten das zwei gänge menue und flasche sizili. weisswein. vollkommen ausreichen und gut angerichtet. auf unsere wünsche wurde immer eingegangen. nach dem essen ging es dann auf die terrasse und wir gwnossen den ausblick auf den kölner dom. eun kleines Manko: die inneneinrichtung des restaurant ist etwas zu einfach. etwas mehr blumen oder deko macht es femütlicher. fazit: essen top bedienung super top aussicht too, danke für den schönen abend

The view is gigantic and great and the visit was worth it for that alone. The rest is disappointing. The prices for the food are far too high for what you get. The dessert for 18 euros, for example, was more reminiscent of frozen goods from Bofrost. The ambience and service absolutely do not match what they seem to want to embody. It all seemed a bit dingy, outdated and gave me cafeteria vibes. From the tiled floor to the dress code of the service staff to the missing white tablecloth (I don't actually need it, but it would be better to hide the furniture here), I can think of a lot of room for improvement. The multi-story carts used to bring the food up reminded us of the hospital food distribution.

We have been coming to Osman30 for several years, we recently found out that it is now open for lunch, which we were very happy about. We tried it out on Friday and can say that even during the day the view is fantastic and the quality of the food is excellent! The service was once again great. We now like to come at lunchtime and look forward to the next time.

Very good food, fantastic view over Cologne, Very nice staff

We came from Wuppertal specifically to have a drink on the roof terrace and discovered that they were closed for lunch. We still went to have a look and received an extremely friendly welcome and were still able to enjoy a drink on the roof terrace. The service downstairs at the reception as well as upstairs was more than good, we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Top location on the 30th floor. Very tasty meal with a wonderful view

Was there for the first time. The atmosphere was great and very relaxed You don't even need to talk about the food, it's so good and the staff will read your wishes. Very rarely have I had such a good evening

The food was incredibly tasty and the waiters were very motivated and friendly

A very beautiful evening over the rooftops of Cologne

Great backdrop of Cologne and the surrounding area, good service and tasty food

-very great ambience with a great view, which of course has its price -Menu simple but very tasty -Service very competent, attentive and very friendly - Surprises were served for birthday children in the form of, among other things, great table fireworks -Toilets are getting old, but that's why you don't go to the 30th floor (you fly in the fast elevator) :-) -2nd visit to Hellen is planned -one of the highlights of Cologne :-) -------------- 2nd visit: -Stars from 3 years ago very reduced from 3x5 -Because of the 🌞, blinds didn't open until around 7:30 p.m....you come for the view - Food selection has become very limited 😨😰

Wir waren im Osman 30, um einen gemütlichen Abend zu verbringen, doch es war eine Katastrophe. Wir warteten ewig auf unsere Getränke, und die Kellnerin war unfassbar unfreundlich. Als wir schließlich sagten, dass wir gehen möchten, fing sie an, uns zu beleidigen. Das ist absolut inakzeptabel! Solche Leute gehören nicht in die Gastronomie, und die Kellnerin sollte sofort gefeuert werden. Ich rate jedem dringend ab, das Osman 30 zu besuchen. Absolut unterirdisch und ein totales No-Go! Finger weg!

Visiting Osman 30 was an absolute disaster and the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our drinks, which is completely unacceptable. But what happened next surpassed everything: a little foreign waitress had the nerve to call one of us a “bitch” when we said we wanted to leave because of the long wait. This is not only disrespectful, but just disgusting. She even gave us the middle finger! As restaurateurs, we know that this kind of behavior should never be tolerated. It is an absolute disgrace for the Osman 30 and a disgrace for the entire industry. Anyone who enters this restaurant risks being treated the same way. Nobody should do something like that to themselves. This woman should be fired immediately without notice. A visit to Osman 30 is a complete waste of time and stress on your nerves. Hands off!

A shadow of himself......... I can only recommend the kitchen is absolutely top notch. That's why 5 stars for the kitchen. Cooking points as they should be, perfectly seasoned, great! Service a complete disaster... Dirty clothes.... Extremely inattentive.... Waited ages for the drinks.... Asked 3 times what we ordered to drink.... Service manager that evening complete disaster... Completely forgot drinks...dirty cutlery ... Very unclean counter area... Waitress spit cheekily at the guests...etc. Unfortunately, now more appearance than reality... That can't save the kitchen in the long run... Complete catastrophe what is now happening in the service area...

The food in the Osman 30 restaurant in Cologne was simply excellent! Each course was a culinary delight, artfully presented and perfectly prepared. I was particularly impressed by the variety and quality of the international gourmet dishes. An absolute highlight in Cologne’s gastronomy!

We were there for dinner yesterday. The service was really so attentive and super nice. Anastasia served me and my companion and deserved great praise. The food was also super good. Overall, a very great experience, many thanks to the service team and the kitchen for this lovely evening!

Stunning views + atmosphere. Highly priced, but definitely recommended.

Was a guest at a wedding reception. The view and ambience are unbeatable. The food was very good. The management was also ok. What couldn't happen, however, was that the beer was suddenly empty and some had to be bought first.

We celebrated our wedding here in June 2024. Starting from the first contact, through the viewing, the final arrangements and special requests on our part, right up to the celebration, everything was totally uncomplicated and super friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding as was the service and the ambience. Of course the view speaks for itself. Both we as the bride and groom and ALL the guests were thrilled and speechless by everything. AGAIN AND AGAIN!

What can you say, just a great restaurant with a wonderful view. Very nice and attentive staff. Not exactly cheap in terms of price but it was a successful visit. Gladly again.

The highlight of the restaurant is the employees

Service very friendly and competent - food very good and special - view wonderful - visit on June 12th, 2024 - again at any time

We had a really nice corporate event here in a breathtaking location and view! The photos say it all... The service was excellent and the food was excellent! We'd love to come back. The furniture and the furnishing style are a matter of taste... Not mine, but that didn't detract from the very successful event!

During a visit to Cologne, five of us met at Osman 30 for dinner. First of all, the outstanding thing: The view from the window and even more from the terrace is breathtaking and was a highlight even in the hazy weather. The restaurant tries to have a certain exclusive touch, but the food and service still fall short of expectations. The service staff were quite friendly and seemed to be trying hard, but in such an atmosphere (and price level) it's the little things that make the difference: the glass of Kölsch or the card is passed across the table to whomever it suits instead of to them The guest should generally be served from the right, 5 3-course menus were ordered, the rump steaks should be 1x well done, 3x medium and 1x blue. I was then served 1x well done and 4x (at best) medium with a tendency towards 'well done', although the waiter put the plate in front of me with the words "English for you". From around 10.45 p.m. things get uncomfortable; The staff probably finishes work at 11 p.m. and loudly starts moving the chairs and tables for the next day. The meal as a whole: When I asked the waiter whether it was tasty, I pointed out that my steak was far too cooked. I then received concerned looks until I offered to leave the steak at the table, because it was still edible, even if not as ordered. In a restaurant of this standard, I would like the service to at least try to save the situation instead of just looking concerned. The starter was solid, the accompaniments to the steak were decent, the dessert plate was 'convenience', although high quality, but somehow disappointing. The price level is therefore just acceptable, the location certainly needs to be paid for. All in all: If you are looking for and appreciate a breathtaking view over Cologne, Osman 30 is the right place for you. However, expectations of the culinary experience should not be set too high. Oh yes, I almost forgot: the fact that the fresh cutlery is lying on the bare and slightly sticky table surface is such a small detail that detracts from the overall picture. You should consider purchasing napkins or placemats if you don't have enough for tablecloths.

Interesting location with a great view.

Great location. Unique Cologne panorama

Great location, great food and exceptionally good service! We recommend.

We celebrated a birthday here and were significantly disappointed. The food was okay but the service and especially the ambience were catastrophic. The facility looked as if everything could be dismantled within 30 minutes. Tables too small. The chairs were almost plastic like. Cheap table decorations. You felt like you were in a bad event location. The waitress forgot our orders several times and was more apparent than real. The only positive thing about the evening was the view. But this restaurant is wasted potential unfortunately.

First of all, I must say that it has a very gentlemanly owner and delicious food. However, even though we made a reservation three days in advance and specifically specified a table by the window, our seat was not reserved that way. We explained the situation to the older blonde female attendant, and she said that the people sitting by the window had reservations made before us, and we understood, but as the window seat became vacant, she took the other tables by the window, who came after us and whose seats were not reserved, and when we warned her, she was not polite or fair at all.

Very good service especially Daniel :)

Apart from the food, very disappointing. Unsympathetic staff. Not recommended.

Seehr laut unfreundliche bedinung war schrecklich geht nicht hin aussicht ok essen ok mehr nicht einfach nicht zu empfehlen!

Great ambience, amazing view over the entire city. I can't fully judge the food because we obviously didn't have the normal menu as part of a company event. The food at this event was good.

Very pleasant service and great food

Great view, very nice service from all the service staff. The food was relatively overpriced. Here you pay for everything. The decoration on the table could be a little nicer for the price.

The service here was horrible, the food is terrible. Save yourself the trouble and don’t bother coming

It's always a great experience. Simply something very special.

We were at a closed event in the lower room. The service was on point and the drinks and menu gave no cause for complaint. Simply good!

At this point, big thanks again to the nice service. She was a big help with my marriage proposal. The beef fillet was very good and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

We went to OSMAN 30 on the occasion of my birthday while visiting Cologne. Service was great, location and ambience were great. The food was ok, the prices are quite high - but I understand that given the location. It's definitely special, but I wouldn't go again because of the food.

For a recent anniversary, I chose Osman 30 for the first time since it opened. It is worth knowing that you have to drive to the P8 car park in the Mediapark in order to get to the huge area directly at the underground entrance to the Cologne Tower. It is also worth knowing that you cannot enter the area in front of the elevators in the basement without prior registration. You must register in advance at reception to reserve a table in OSMAN 30. The area then opens and you can go to the ground floor, where you will be met to take one of the six elevators to the 30th floor. Given the height of the building and possibly other guests at OSMAN 30, the whole thing can take up to 20 minutes from arrival to reaching the location. You should take this into account, because if you don't show up on time, you will quickly be left off the reservation list. Even if you have previously confirmed your appearance by telephone. When we got there we were assigned the wrong seat. Although a romantic addition to the reservation had been booked for a fee and by name. This was missing from all the other tables, which is why I insisted on the table with the romantic addition, which prompted the usher to let me show her the reservation. Apparently you don't have an overview of the existing reservations there. Despite all understanding of the difficult logistics, the increased prices for food and the VAT, the price-performance ratio is not appropriate. Although the taste is good, the quantity is too small compared to the price. So you shouldn't show up there hungry. The service is present and attentive. However, there is a lack of polite distance from the guest. In addition, people in the coffee bar obviously don't know the difference between coffee and espresso. Both cups and their contents were the same. Although you could see at the entrance that the portafilter machine could do more than just make coffee. When the waitress was made aware of this, they did not take this as an opportunity to take it into account on the bill and still charged an espresso that was more expensive than the coffee. In order not to spoil the mood for the romantic occasion, I refrained from complaining. Although this would have been appropriate. With a few exceptions in terms of lighting, the restaurant resembles a conventional office space that can be converted into one at any time. The existing surfaces and the interior do not exude the individuality or charm that one would expect from an exclusive restaurant in this price range. All in all, a rating of three stars can be given here at best. Unfortunately, this experience will not entice me to visit again or recommend it.

Heute waren wir im Osman zu Abend essen. Wir hatten den Tisch schon vor einer Woche reserviert und haben uns schon auf den Abend gefreut. Der Zugang zum Restaurant war durchaus schwierig, wir musste uns durch 2 Telefonnummern durchprobieren, da die Tür uns nicht öffnete und die Anleitung am Eingang keine funktionierende Aussage über das Vorgehen gab. 2 Servicekräfte geleiteten uns dann nach ein paar Minuten hoch - hier waren wir abermals auf uns selbst gestellt, zum Tisch wurden wir nicht gebracht. Das 3 Gänge Menü war geschmacklich recht gut, die Menge war eine Frechheit. Ich hatte schon überlegt, nach dem nächsten Döner-Imbiss zu fragen. Der Service war breit aufgestellt - insgesamt waren 4 verschiedene Servicekräfte bei uns am Tisch - also durchaus reichlich Personal. Dennoch wurde nicht gefragt, ob ich noch etwas trinken möchte, der Kaffee meiner Partnerin wurde vergessen und scheinbar trinkt man heutzutage das Pils aus der Flasche (ein Glas gab es später doch noch). Das Ambiente war ähnlich einer Bahnhofshalle (oder Mensa) - nur besser beleuchtet. Es war so laut, dass ich unentwegt nachfragen musste, da ich meine Partnerin nicht verstanden habe. Die Unterhaltungen vom Nachbartisch (dort wurde durchgehend telefoniert) habe ich indes sehr gut verstanden. Schade. Ein wirklich enttäuschender Abend - für schlappe 135€...Trinkgeld gab es heute keins.

A quiet, beautiful place with a very nice view of Cologne and more !! it's worth at least enjoying a cocktail :)

We were there for the first time for a birthday party. We had fun, but that was entirely up to us. The view over the city is sensational. The service is trying hard but slow and can't do its job: who will bring the beer carried in their hands and not on a tray?? The starters were simply a joke. The guinea fowl for the main course was OK and the dessert was pretty good. I'm definitely a fan of keeping little on my plate. But for the price I expect a firework of flavors on the tongue. The kitchen is light years away from that. The furniture is also too modest for the location and the requirements of the location. It's a shame, the place is great, the implementation is not. Not recommendable.

Paper tablecloths and paper napkins are not possible at these prices. Food was OK, but didn't justify the price.

Since my last visit the chairs have been renovated. The ambience thrives on the view over Cologne and is most beautiful during the day. The food was delicious, the buffet (closed group) varied. The service was friendly but a bit overwhelmed by the large company. You could have everything in the hallway, the window was a bit dry.

The view over Cologne is divine, as is the food.

Great view and great service!! Gladly again

Big shout out to the Osman30 team!!

The bad, unprofessional service overshadows the tasty food. Starting with a reservation that couldn't be found (but still got in) to no advice on choosing the wine and a catastrophic payment procedure (individual billing instead of the entire bill). A pity!

Enttäuschend Service kann. Die bedienung kann kein deutsch. Nie wieder werde ich den laden besuchen. Geht in ein Restaurant wo man euch versteht und nicht in dieses hier wo ihr einen dolmetscher braucht

Eine unglaublich tolle Location. Sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Der Ausblick spricht natürlich für sich. Essen war vorzüglich und ich komme definitiv wieder. Vielen Dank!

Man sollte sich einen Besuch dort öfter gönnen

Reinste Katastrophe über Silvester. Überbewertet. Zu teuer. Unsere Geldbörse ist immer noch nicht aufgetaucht, und gemeldet hat sich immernoch keiner
