OX Royal in Köln

absolutely impressive! As soon as you walk in you feel welcome - stylish ambience, relaxed atmosphere and this fantastic view of the Rhine. The service was attentive but pleasantly unobtrusive. You can immediately tell that there are professionals at work here who do their job with passion. Our questions about meat and wine were answered competently and with a smile. And then the food – wow. I had a beef tenderloin that was so tender it almost melted in your mouth. Grilled to perfection, served with a creamy truffle puree that was simply brilliant. My partner had the Chateaubriand – a poem! Everything to the point, beautifully prepared, tastes great. Yes, the OX Royal is rather expensive in terms of price, but it is worth every penny. For me it was an evening that I will remember for a long time - and certainly not my last visit.

We've eaten here several times with the family and it's always been great. The service is very attentive and everything we ordered was to die for! We are thrilled every time and know that the menu is top top top. We would be happy to come back at any time.

Waited over an hour for the food and was not asked how cooked the steak should be.

Unfortunately, the visit to the Ox-Royal did not meet our expectations. The plate language seemed poorly thought out and careless. The Wagyu sirloin steak – actually a highlight on the menu – was surprisingly tasteless. The baked potato also remained just that: a baked potato, without any sophistication. The bread, which tasted quite good, was served so often that it quickly lost its special character. Beer is only served in the bottle, the glass remains standing - even with the next drink, which leaves a bad aftertaste. The service seemed more concerned with making high-priced recommendations than with truly honest advice. The ambience leaves room for improvement - quite cool and without a clear line. Only the view of the Rhine improves the overall picture a little. Unfortunately, the toilets weren't particularly clean, which further marred the overall experience. In terms of price-performance, there are definitely better alternatives in the area. A visit here is worth it - if at all - just for the view.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Restaurant is located a little outside of the city but definitely worth a visit.

OX Royal in Cologne offers an attractive setting with delicious food to share, which is highly recommended. The waiter visibly did his best to give us a pleasant experience, with attentive and friendly service. There is a wide choice of wines and the dishes are of high quality, although the price is a bit higher.

The place is fabulous, aesthetic and very beautiful. The food is delicious, the meat is soft and exactly as requested...we will definitely go again!

This was my second time at OX Royal and I wasn't disappointed this time either! Very good food and the service is also very friendly.

The location of the restaurant is most pleasant. The staff is very friendly and service-oriented and the quality of the food was excellent. In this respect, around 50 euros seem local and appropriate for a 400g rump steak. In my opinion, there is a star deduction for the sometimes cramped seating conditions. The restaurant was very busy, but the tables are very close together and the noise level is not entirely great when the house is full. The latter is a bit too much for me personally. Nevertheless, I can fully recommend the OX Royal.

I can definitely recommend it. The food tasted very good. Service 1a.

Great food, great service, very nice!

Delicious food and good service!

Very tasty, good service. There were 6 of us but we came to around €860 without a tip, but with all sorts of food, 2 bottles of wine and desserts. The meat was very tasty. It is served in bowls that are still boiling.

My visit to OX Royal was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As soon as we entered, we were warmly welcomed and accompanied by attentive, professional service that left nothing to be desired. The atmosphere was stylish and elegant, with a perfect mix of luxury and comfort. Every detail - from the table decoration to the background music - was carefully coordinated and contributed to the special atmosphere. The food? Simply extraordinary! Each course was a work of art, perfectly prepared and composed with high quality ingredients. I was particularly impressed by the steak with the truffle sauce, which was an absolute highlight both in terms of taste and appearance. The wine selection was also great. Big praise to the entire team – from the chef to the service staff. Ox Royal sets standards in fine dining and undoubtedly deserves the highest rating. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Absolutely recommended!

The best steak I've ever eaten! Yes, you have to dig deep into your pockets, but it was worth every penny! There were three of us and we each ordered a different piece of meat. Everyone was fabulous! There isn't much going on in January, so you can still get a table at very short notice.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. The truffle and Parmesan steak tartare to start was one of the best starters I have ever eaten. Went for the fillet for my main which was cooked to perfection. Dessert was also extremely tasty. Well worth the price range and a beautiful and cosy atmosphere inside also.

die gerichte waren sehr sorgfältig zubereitet und die geschmäcker waren wirklich hervorragend das personal war sehr professionell und reagierte schnell auf unsere anfragen das design des restaurants war sehr schön und die atmosphäre war sehr ruhig während des essens der einzige nachteil waren die etwas hohen preise

Overall it was quite nice, but the waiter wasn't impressed with my tip and didn't even say goodbye to us. In the future you should pay attention and see how you can win long-term customers

Steak on point and perfectly salted. Bernaise a dream. Unfortunately the gratin was at most lukewarm and the salad was a side salad. Bread at the front was great including dips. Starters were mixed, we really liked the tartare, the calamari was okay. I found the wine list exciting. The waiter seemed a bit rushed, which was probably due to the full occupancy before Christmas. If you want to enjoy a nice steak in a great Rhine ambience, you are very well advised here. I missed a few cuts away from the everyday.

We ate there again today, Christmas Day 2024, with 4 adults and 2 children (1 and 6 years old). Everything perfect again. We were greeted very friendly, our Kellern Goran was once again very attentive and very friendly, without seeming fake. He also immediately responded to the two children. After he asked my 6-year-old granddaughter her name, he addressed her by that name and discussed with her what she wanted to eat. Simply great. I don't have to write much about the food, because everything you get is of great quality and perfectly coordinated. We paid €95 per person for the 3-course menu, which is really justified here. It couldn't be better. Super delicious food Top service Great ambience and very nice location. We will definitely come back there and can definitely recommend this fine dining restaurant. Many thanks to our service Goran and also to all other employees for this tasteful evening. Excellent food, fine cuisine, top service and a very nice ambience with a view of the Rhine 3-course menu 85,- 4-course menu 99,- Highly recommended. We will definitely go out to eat again

Great evening, very expensive but also very good! Thanks

A really nice restaurant. The service is great and the food is a spectacle for the palate. The meat tastes as good as in Brazil 😎

Were there again last week after 2 years. Bread beforehand was very tasty. Starter below average. The meat was okay, but once again it didn't hit the cooking point. Service very inattentive. Jacket was not removed. Dessert delicious. The four of us paid almost 600 euros for it to be just okay. Wouldn't come again because of the price. 2 years ago: Red wine was very good, the gin was okay. Water Gerolsteiner is not to everyone's taste but it's ok. The starter was the octopus, unfortunately too expensive for the quality. The fillet was tasty but the cooking point was not met. Chimicurri was great 👍🏽 But I gave the shop another chance

Great food and atmosphere- we really enjoy coming here!

5/5 Absolutely great recommendation for having a steak. Perfect meat, nice view and friendly staff. We enjoyed a dinner with our kids and it was just great.

One of the worst places I have visited. The food was barely eatable, the wine list a joke. When the waiter asked how we liked our starters and we said the tartar was really bad, he didn’t even ask why. After our main courses where almost everything was left on the table he didn’t even bother to ask anymore. You can really see how the restaurant is trying to improve! Meat quality was borderline, prices exorbitant. Even one star is too much. Bad food, bad service, bad atmosphere.

Since we were very satisfied with the pre-Christmas period in 2023, we wanted to repeat it this year. However, the positive experience could not be repeated. Eat: Two children's pasta for 2 and 6 year olds 18 euros each, is absolutely outrageous. The right spoons to eat these noodles didn't arrive until 10 minutes later, so you didn't have to blow. The Bearnaise sauce had separated and was ice cold, and it only came when the steak was already three-quarters eaten. After a long wait, we were able to tell the service about this, unfortunately it was so full that you can't even call the service a service, tried hard, but unfortunately overwhelmed and far away from the standards they set themselves in their prices. The gratin was also cold, on two plates, but there was no complaint because the staff was busy. Invoice: When the bill came, we noticed that the Bearnaise sauce amounting to 6.80 euros had not been taken down; the waiter succinctly said that we should deduct it from the tip. There is a lack of appreciation and respect for the guests here. We are happy to pay for a nice ambience and good food; mutual respect should be a given. A mistake or a complaint is not bad, we weren't angry about it, but the way we were treated shocked us. We had the great feeling from last year in our heads and went home disappointed. Another drawback: plates piling up in the entrance area when leaving the restaurant. The collection of the jackets last year was a nice goodie when entering the restaurant, which no longer took place this year. The broken toilet door should be mentioned briefly, I had the handle in my hand, the service wasn't interested either, they just said, put it back on the door. A successful, beautiful evening, no unfortunately not whether we will come back, we are more than unsure. A gastronomic company wants to generate sales in a completely understandable and understandable way, but doing so at the expense of quality and service is the worst thing you can do.

Auf die online Reservierung kam keine Antwort, deshalb wurde dann telefonisch reserviert. Wir wurden zum Tisch geleitet und noch bevor wir uns setzen konnten, wurde schon gefragt, ob man schon mal eine Flasche Wasser bringen soll. Für den durstigen Gast mag das vielleicht im Hochsommer in Ordnung sein, ich möchte erstmal ankommen. Die Vorspeisen waren in Ordnung und die Weinauswahl war zufriedenstellend. Der kleine Salat zum Steak bestand vorwiegend aus grünem Blattsalat und war übermäßig mit einer eiskalten Knoblauchsauce lieblos übergossen. Mein Steak war auf den Punkt gebraten, dass meiner Begleitung nicht. Es sollte medium serviert werden, war aber offensichtlich medium-rare. Eine erhebliche Menge Fleischsaft trat aus und verlief unappetitlich auf dem Teller. Die Fleischqualität war sehr gut. Die aufgerufenen Preise halte ich für zu hoch und nicht angemessen. Auf einen Degistif habe ich dann verzichtet, die Preise sind unverschämt hoch. Fazit: Ich verstehe den Hype nicht, der um dieses Steakhaus gemacht wird. Es ist ein ordentliches Steakhaus, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

Tuvimos una reserva aquí en nuestro fin de semana fuera de Colonia, en primer lugar, diría que si te alojas en Colonia esto es de unos 20 minutos en coche. No es un problema en absoluto y definitivamente vale la pena, pero asegúrese de tener en cuenta eso. Teníamos una reserva a las 8: 30 y llegamos justo antes, sin embargo no nos sentamos hasta las 9 : 15 . Estaba muy ocupado y un sábado por la noche, así que es comprensible. El personal allí era genial asegurándose de que estábamos bien y conseguirnos bebidas mientras esperábamos. La comida era excepcional, como cabría esperar de este restaurante muy pesado de carne pero simplemente sabroso y delicioso. Entre nosotros tuvimos pulpo, gambas y carpaccio para empezar seguido de 4 cortes diferentes de filetes, seguidos de crema brûlée para el desierto. Todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que este era posiblemente el mejor filete que todos habíamos comido. Si bien la espera fue decepcionante, definitivamente valió la pena la comida l, el ambiente y el personal eran todos increíbles

Food fine but how can you go wrong with a steak. Service execrable - slow, incorrect and over macho - they think they are way better than they are. Very noisy and empty dishes piled in reception. Wine way over priced, cheapest at €50 but most double that. Avoid

Best steak restaurant I have visited in Europe. Only in Japan have I eaten better Wagyu. I had the 450g Wagyu steak, top. Super nice service, great atmosphere, food very tasty.

There were eight of us last night and we were very pleased with the sensational quality and the very attentive service 👍

Ein sehr schönes Ambiente mit super leckeren Steaks und einzigartigen Deserts! Herr Goran ein super netter Kellner, immer hilfsbereit und schnell! Vielen Dank!

Wir hatten Glück und saßen nicht im vorderen Gebäude sondern hinten bisschen abseits , vorne sehr laut. Vorneweg Empfang und Kellner wirklich nett. Das Essen fing gut an, Brot und Butter sehr lecker und dann war es einfach nur enttäuschend . Tatar null Geschmack nur Fleisch , Carpaccio auch schon 100 x besser gegessen. Steak war gut, aber das timing kartoffelgratin/ Gemüse (war auch noch angebrannt) und 5 min später erst das Fleisch bringen nicht so gut. Bernaise 2x geronnen … da erwarte ich bei den Preisen schon was besseres.

At the end the waiter asks if we want to tip 10%! Normally you don't ask something like that and the customer can decide for themselves

Highly recommended!!!!! The homemade bread was also amazing

I came here with my boyfriend on holiday for a lovely romantic meal. We were hugely dissatisfied. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a friendly manor, and shown to a nicely displayed table. At first, we agreed it was a warm welcoming and nice atmosphere. We ordered the baby squid and octopus starters. The squid was massively under seasoned and tasted of absolutely nothing. Even with salt, it added no flavour to the dish. 1.5/10. The octopus was definitely better. It looked better upon arrival, however, did not taste fresh and was also very bland. Unsatisfied, 3/10. The main course: We were very encouraged to order the chateaubriand, the waiter was very enthusiastic that this was the best option on the menu, and so we went with this as our choice. It was awful. The steak came on a sizzling plate and still became cold within minutes. Absolutely no texture. No blood. No flavour. Again, even with salt/sauce the steak was appalling. The vegetables served alone side with this €126 plate, was cold, bland and unenjoyable. We had ordered a very overpriced Sauvignon Blanc, after tasting a sip, we commented on it being a bit sweet. The waiter disagreed and mentioned it being ‘fruity’, he continued to pour the glasses. The wine was the only decent component of this meal. After a few minutes or so, we had to pour our own empty glasses as our designated waiter was catering to the table next to us more, ( a more popular and busy table with an obviously higher paying bill) At the point of paying our bill we displayed our concerns and issues, our waiter mentioned not always being perfect in the chef department and paid no remorse to our unsatisfactory meal. We had to pay the full price of €234 for 4 whole courses and wine in total and were absolutely astonished that we received no compensation for the appalling and utterly overpriced meal we partly consumed. This is our personal experience and we would not suggest a visit to this restaurant unless you would like an overpriced and plain tasting meal in the heart of Cologne, Germany.

Un excellent dîner. Rapport qualité prix très intéressant. Nous avons particulièrement l’accueil chaleureux de Goran. Nous avons eu du mal à quitter les lieux tellement nous étions contents d’y être

Fantastic food and service. Thank you Goran!!!!!

Very nice evening with great service. Many thanks to the waiter Goran.

Unfortunately our visit to this restaurant was a disappointment. The Prosecco was served to us at room temperature, which dampened our anticipation of the meal right from the start. The entrecôte was tough and almost cooked through (ordered medium), the vegetables were burnt and the beef fillet, which we had ordered medium, came medium rare. The mashed potatoes were by far the worst thing I've ever tasted - simply inedible in terms of taste and consistency. The Malbec was also served warm. During the entire meal no one bothered to ask if everything was OK. Even when we finally voiced our criticism, the staff didn't seem to care. For a price of €185 we would have expected much more - an experience that justifies the price. Unfortunately, absolutely not recommended! We definitely won't be coming back.

Super professionell und hochwertig. Sehr ansprechendes Ambiente, ausgezeichneter Service und die besten Steaks von Köln

The restaurant is located directly on the Rhine. There are parking spaces nearby. The reception is very friendly The service is very attentive and courteous The menu is, as expected, meat-heavy The dishes are very nicely prepared and delicious

Yes, what should I write... I don't know what could be improved here. The fillet...a poem...the bread as a starter is incredible and actually ALL the side dishes are special! We have always been greeted very friendly and served promptly. The waiting time is also really short. I hope it stays that way... then in the future we will drive 100km every now and then to go out for a good meal

A highly recommended restaurant. Very nice staff, especially our waiter Goran. The food was simply delicious - the meat was so tender. And very good service. The restaurant has a beautiful style and there is something very special about the place right on the Rhine. Thanks for the lovely evening!

An absolute highlight in Cologne! As someone who comes from Berlin and has visited many restaurants, I can only warmly recommend Ox Royal. The food was not only incredibly tasty, but also creative and perfectly balanced in terms of taste. The ambience is elegant and cozy at the same time - you simply feel good here. The service was excellent and rounded off the evening with warm and professional support. A chic restaurant that is definitely worth a visit!

Chic restaurant on the Rhine with a very good selection of dishes, with the focus on steaks. I made the reservation online, but didn't receive any confirmation here. This was only confirmed as received when asked by telephone. The food and service were good. When it comes to drinks, the Expresso Martini didn't convince me, but the Negroni did. The wine selection is generous, we had the Barolo for the main course. As a fan of heavy wines, this was too light for us. Here the Papale was much more intense and was more mine.

The food was really outstanding. I can't remember ever having a better steak. Meat quality and preparation were A1. Great ambience right on the Rhine. The service was fine. Special requests were implemented. They asked if everything was OK. However, it could be done with a little more attention. The bread beforehand was served with two pastes which were not described in detail. The degree of doneness was not asked and when ordering you could tell that the waiter was in a hurry. Sometimes it had to be braked so that the second part of the order could be placed. They're just small things, but at this level they're more significant than at the brewery next door. Our table was somewhat inconveniently located to the left of the room and the waiters used this “shortcut” to get to the neighboring table. So each time I was squeezed through the gap between my backrest and the table behind me and each time I hit the backrest of my chair. This is very uncomfortable in the long run. The table arrangement may need to be reconsidered or a different route should be chosen. We will definitely come back. Just at a different table.

Gorand grande camierere, gentilissimo è stato sempre a disposizione, carne wuaghu buonissima servizio 10 locale bello

besonders das ribeye-steak war fantastisch das fleisch war perfekt zubereitet die atmosphäre war sehr stilvoll und der service war extrem schnell die preise waren fair ich kann es nur empfehlen

Excellent service and great quality and taste of the food

OX Royal is the best steakhouse in Cologne. Great Wagyu and Goran made the evening fantastic with his hospitality. A very nice restaurant and we will be back!

Best steakhouse in Cologne. Very luxurious ambiance. But above all well prepared steaks and kind staff. I would definitely come back here again!

Great steak! Top service! Top location! Don't understand the 4 star reviews...

Actually our favorite steakhouse in the south of Cologne but after our dish suddenly became €20 more expensive, it's no longer 😕

Excellent quality of food, very attentive service, great ambience. You can open the entire window front, which felt like a vacation spot on a warm summer evening. Very good wine selection! P.S. the goat cheese was amazing!

Great Place for a business non touristic dinner

Cibo magnifico e posto accogliente, complimenti al simpaticissimo cameriere Goran, super consigliato se si passa da Colonia.

Locale moderno, pulito e accogliente. Carne buonissima e servizio super cordiale. Goran è stato molto disponibile e ci ha consigliato dei piatti veramente buoni. Siamo capitati qui per un viaggio di lavoro e, vista la qualità dei prodotti, siamo tornati ben 2 volte in 4 giorni. Sicuramente ci torneremo, Super consigliato!

Good place. Not cheap but good!!

One of the best restaurants I have been too! unbelievable food and service from Goran was incredible - he is a asset to your company. Highly highly recommend.

Exzellenter Service und sehr leckeres Essen. Danke Goran! Trüffelsteak 400g der Extraklasse für ein unvergessliches Abendessen.

Die Lokation befindet sich unmittelbar gegenüber vom Rhein. Das Ambiente als auch der elitäre Service ist mehr als einladend und man hat das Gefühl angekommen zu sein und mit einem großen Wohlbefinden essen zu können. Der Kellner Georg ist ein Meister seiner Arbeit der sowohl italienisch , griechisch, Englisch als auch Deutsch sprich. Er konnte und uns ein heimisches Gefühl der Gastfreundschaft und der Sprache überliefern. Seine Vielfalt und seine Aufmerksamkeit während des Services hat den Geschmack des Essens vollkommen unterstrichen.

The atmosphere right on the Rhine is very nice and the quality of the meat is very good. The rosemary potatoes were rather cold and so was the pepper sauce. I honestly expected more for this price range. The service wasn't the best either - plates were left out for a very long time. And only bottles of beer for 1 Kölsch €0.33 €5.40 that is usury and in the end not draft beer. So yes, a good steakhouse but way too expensive for the service tonight, sorry.

Simply the best steak and Lamb chops I've tasted in Germany

Great food (had steak and truffle pasta), super attentive service from Goran and a beautiful view of the Rhine. We'd love to come back!

Food was okay but service was incredibly rude. We were two little women and just wanted to eat several appetizers instead of a huge steak. That made the waiter very nervous. Am I not allowed to eat whatever and how much I want? This especially happens in a luxury restaurant. We'll never go there again.

Super atmosphere, super service and delicious food you should try definitely 👌 thank you Goran! Add unique Georgian Qvevri amber wine in your menu 🫶

Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Restaurant! Das Essen war sehr lecker und von höchster Qualität. Unser Kellner, Goran, war ein sehr aufmerksamer und sympathischer Mann. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Nice view, delicious food. A beautiful evening.

The service at Ox Royal is impeccable, with a special mention to Goran. From the moment we arrived, Goran welcomed us with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor. He was incredibly kind and attentive, making excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. His expertise and personable nature made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout the evening. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the meat was evident in every bite, making it one of the best steaks we've ever had. Goran's recommendations for side dishes and wine pairings complemented the steak beautifully, creating a harmonious and delicious meal. Ox Royal offers a top-notch dining experience with its beautiful ambiance, exquisite cuisine, and outstanding service. Goran's kindness and expertise were the icing on the cake, making our visit truly memorable. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a fantastic steak and be treated like royalty, Ox Royal is the perfect choice.

Food was great, but service was on another level. Mr. Goran was very helpful and nice!

Never went inside, but got a warm beer at the Rhine wall.

Incredible food and service, with our waiter Peter adding a little magic to the atmosphere

We were able to spend a wonderful evening with a view of the Rhine. The meat was super tender and the side dishes were seasoned perfectly. Goran served us excellently and read all our wishes from our lips. Lovely again!

Only the prices were royal at this location. In our opinion, the steaks are almost all about 10-15 EUR overpriced, not to mention the price-performance ratio for the wine. And if you order a steak medium rare, you might expect it to be the same in this setting, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Since we had a very unpleasant incident at the end of our dinner, it was decided NOT to leave a tip because the service towards the end unfortunately did not meet our expectations at all. Our wish to enjoy the last nightcap in the front row with a view of the Rhine in the evening in an almost empty restaurant was denied us with incomprehensible arguments. We were then almost forced to finally give a tip, but no means no, whereupon the waiter angrily turned away from us in the direction of "Boss" and then brought him in as reinforcement in the discussion. By the way, we weren't the only guests with this problem that evening. Ultimately, all discussions came to nothing. It's a shame, but there are also other very good steakhouses with really good service, where such small things with a big impact are quickly resolved in the interests of the guest.

Went there for the first time with a business friend and had very high expectations based on the very good reviews, which were completely met! We were assigned a premium table by the window with a great view of the Rhine, the service was there immediately and brought the menu and asked whether the water should be medium or still. When it came to the wine selection, a good recommendation was made (Barolo) without exuberantly praising the most expensive wine on the menu. As a starter we order the prawns in garlic (very tasty with the right, strong amount of garlic) and as the main course a fillet and a rump steak. Both cooked to perfection, of very good meat quality and therefore very tender with a good taste. A shared cheese plate rounded off the very successful dinner. Goran, as promised, a special word to you: You tried very, very hard to look after us and I won't forget the fact that you even had your dinner at the end (we had lamb loin lettuces for him that looked great and tasted even better!). Many thanks to the Ox Royal team, you made a little magic!

Great food and excellent service. Overall fantastic experience. Beautiful surroundings and easy to find. We will definitely be back.

This place had everything. Fantastic food and great service from Goran. Meat just melted in our mouth. Nice view to the Rhein river also.

Top! Gerne wieder Sehr gutes Steak Restaurants- Drei verschiedene Größen, kleine- aber feine- Weinauswahl. Gratis dazu: Schöner Ausblick auf den Rhein

Perfect food and service with Rhein view. Thx peter and fahic for making us feeling special. Always repeating this specialty.

Food was great. Service a disgrace. It is not possible to change tables late at night. Unbelievable, never experienced like this before. Not worth the price.

You don't experience something like that every day... there were five of us there for dinner. The food was of a very good quality. The wine selection was good, but not overly varied. A good Châteauneuf-du-Pape costs around 16.00 euros in well-stocked specialist shops, here 78.00 euros. A rogue who thinks evil here... I am attaching a picture of selected wine prices to the wine list, the owner probably thinks that no guests come here who understand anything about wine and its prices. But you just have to accept that, you can also drink a 0.33 Heineken (from the bottle) for a petty 5.60 euros. After a tasty meal that cost several hundred euros and the restaurant was now half empty, we wanted to have a night cap at a free table with a view of the Rhine. We and guests at other tables were denied this without any understandable reason. Conclusion: good food at completely exorbitant prices and an arrogant owner are enough to avoid the restaurant in the future. It would be important here that the guest is again in the foreground and not the euro notes in the eyes of the owner.

If you're looking for an excellent steak, you've come to the right place. Located directly on the Rhine, you will be accompanied by friendly and attentive service. The meat is of really good quality and cooked to perfection, and the side dishes go wonderfully with it. Very pleasant atmosphere; If you get a seat at the panoramic windows, you can enjoy a great view of the Rhine. It's difficult without a reservation and anyone who is a guest for the first time quickly realizes why that is. We love coming here!

Excellently tasty. Great service and very satisfied. Mr. Goran is an excellent employee who was always attentive and friendly. You have to appreciate an employee like that. I can only recommend. 5* I'm looking forward to my next stay 🙌🏼

First of all: Very great and high quality food and the restaurant is great! However, I just wanted to reserve a table by the window...unfortunately not possible because there is a risk that the guests won't come. I always come when I have a reservation, which I have also assured. I still didn't get a table reserved by the window. VERY Pity. Won't come anymore.

Went there for dinner on Friday during our Cologne weekend. As the stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 say, it was really good. Depending on the table, the restaurant has a wonderful view of the Rhine, is extremely tastefully designed and furnished, and the reception is professional. The most important thing is of course the food and here our expectations were exceeded. The starter, a fish soup and an avocado-salmon tartare, the main course Chateaubriand for two people and a New York cheesecake for dessert. It was really great. Anyone who loves meat will not be disappointed here, on the contrary. An equally balanced and exquisite wine list, everyone will find something to suit their taste and budget. Of course, all the delicacies come at a price, you have to be able to enjoy them. Also worth mentioning is the service, male domain, present but not intrusive. Goran (I hope spelled correctly 😃) was responsible for our table and the service was excellent. If we do the Cologne Stadium again, another visit is likely. So, keep it up and many happy guests. Kind regards from the Black Forest 🙋‍♂️MC🙋‍♀️

Locale molto bello in riva al fiume. Cena di lavoro con finestre aperte ed un’atmosfera non così consueta a Colonia. Lifestyle all’italiana. L’ottimo Goran, italiano adottato per la simpatia, ci ha seguito ottimamente nella scelta della carne cucinata in maniera egregia. Ottimo anche il dessert. Caffè alla napoletana con tazzina bollente ed ottimo caffè. Da ritornare. Grazie Goran!

I can only recommend Ox Royal. The ambience is great, the service is great and the food is really good. The best steak I've eaten so far. Highly priced, yes, but not too expensive for what you get. If you want to treat yourself to something, go to Ox Royal.

Nice steakhouse, our waiter Goran was great at service, we are greek and he could speak our language 🙂

Best steak restaurant in Cologne Germany!!

Great apps and meal, pretty view over the Rhine with large open windows for a beautiful view.

This is a great restaurant. The meat is really good. And Goran is the most professional waiter.

Great location, great food, great waiter (Goran) only recommended because of the atmosphere

It was a great evening. My girlfriend had the salad with goat cheese, I had the carpaccio as a starter. This was followed by pasta and Wagyu steak as the main course. More than satisfied throughout. Goran and his colleague fulfilled our every wish. Thanks and definitely see you soon

We received excellent and very courteous advice from Goran!

We went there for the first time on Tuesday and it was perfect! The meat literally melts in your mouth, just a dream! We had the filet mignon in the gentle man's cut in medium and the beef fillet in the macho's cut in medium rare. With the baked potato and the salad, both were lavish fillers - but we were a little sad when we finished eating - the meat was just so incredibly good that you wished it would never end. The service was also excellent. Attentive but never intrusive. We were warmly welcomed and said goodbye again. The view of the Rhine at sunset is another highlight when you enjoy your beer or wine after your meal. We live a little further away, but the trip was 100% worth it! We'd love to come back when we're in Cologne again.

The food was perfect. Service was perfect. Goran was especially very friendly and helpfull. All the staff were very nice. Will come again for sure.

Actually there is nothing to complain about here. The location is great. Great service, great ambience and very tasty food. I think it's a bit too expensive in terms of price. 10-15% cheaper and there is absolutely nothing to complain about here. A clear recommendation!

Great steakhouse right on the Rhine. After we weren't so happy on Valentine's Day because the tables were far too narrow and you could hear conversations left and right, we gave the restaurant a second chance. This time everything was perfect and our table right by the window was a dream. Just right on our wedding day. The food and service were perfect.
