Restaurant Ölckenthurm in Unna

An unforgettable evening full of romance and indulgence! We had the great pleasure of enjoying a candlelit dinner in this wonderful restaurant, and it was simply dreamy! The atmosphere was incredibly romantic. The menu was a culinary highlight. Each course was not only a delight for the palate, but also beautifully presented. This candlelit dinner was a true experience for us and will stay with us for a long time. We highly recommend it to any couple looking to treat themselves to something special. We will definitely be back!

Yesterday we buried the mother of a dear friend. And then we went to the Oelckenthurm. The soup, sandwiches and cake, everything was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the toilets very clean. The relatives also liked it there.

I celebrated my birthday here with about 30 guests. Everything was planned and discussed in no time. The celebration went like clockwork. The food was great (as always) and the service was attentive, friendly and warm. I and my guests were completely satisfied. Unreserved recommendation.

Excellent restaurant. Very good food, attentive service, and a great setting! Highly recommended!

Thank you for our daughter's fabulous baptism celebration! We were absolutely thrilled with the wonderful ambiance and the service and kitchen teams. We'd love to come back!

I don't write reviews that often, but since I happened to be there yesterday and heard Ms. C.G.'s discussion. I received this, here is my personal comment: After the meal, the lady actually just wanted to get it for free and understandably failed. I ate a Braumeisterschnitzel there myself last night. It was right on point and perfectly seasoned. Tastes are different, of course, but the Ölckenthurm really suits mine. And the service? I go there often and have always found it to be fast, professional, extremely friendly and guest-oriented. At the end, my personal tip: Just stop by for yourself and simply enjoy the overall hospitable package!

Ambiance is very nice. However, that was it. Unfortunately the food wasn't OK unless you like almost raw pork schnitzel. I have never experienced the way in which customers are treated with a food complaint. You were even portrayed as a liar afterwards. There was no understanding or coming to an end. Absolutely not recommended.

Unfortunately the food in general was too salty. Unfortunately, the schnitzel wasn't completely cooked through and even after a comment, it wasn't fixed. Unfortunately, the nice criticism was not taken seriously at all. On the contrary, the staff became very loud and unfortunately didn't see it at all. That's why you have to say it's definitely not worth a visit and it's a shame to see how rude people there are.

Definitely worth a visit. Very nicely located on the edge of the city center.

Unfortunately, my experience with the Ölkenthurm was disappointing. The reservation did not go as expected - the telephone reservation was not even accepted after calling 3 times within 3 weeks. “You wouldn’t have time to accept a reservation.” The staff was very unfriendly on the phone and seemed to have little interest in finding a solution. Instead of helping us, the situation was dismissed. Such experiences are particularly annoying when you are looking forward to a pleasant visit. I hope the company works on communication and customer service to better serve and, above all, value future guests.” My family and I will no longer visit the restaurant because there are competitors in Unna who do it better.

NO GO! I called there for the third time today to reserve a table for the next possible free day. The unfriendly employee then told me the same sentence as last week... she just didn't have time to see when something was available... strange that they then answer the phone. When I told her that I was calling for the third time and just wanted to reserve a table for the next possible day, she cheekily said that I should name a date like normal people. Absolutely impudent, she still didn't give me a table!

We were there on Friday as part of a company event and were thrilled! The food was incredibly delicious and the entire team was super friendly and attentive. An all-round successful experience – we would love to come back! 😊🍽️

Were there for the first time with colleagues. Simply great. Any time.

We were there for an event, very friendly staff and an outstanding location. We would be happy to come back again.

Delicious food. Very good portions. Cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended. Top!

Once again the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly! We are looking forward to our wedding at the Oelckenthurm!

Only recommended. The beef roulades alone are a dream

We followed a spontaneous invitation from friends to Unna and were in this hospitable restaurant for the first time. The service was very warm and knowledgeable and the menus were delicious. You can't get fish on your plate tastier! It was a wonderful evening and we will definitely come back. The journey from Hagen is also worth it!

Wow, wow!!! Outstanding gastronomic experience in the Ölckenthurm Unna! Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at the Ölckenthurm restaurant in Unna and I absolutely loved it! The service was first class right from the start – attentive, warm and professional. As a guest you really feel welcome and well looked after here. The absolute highlight, however, was the entrecôte that I ordered. Cooked to perfection, of excellent quality and incredibly aromatic – a real treat! The side dishes were also excellently coordinated and rounded off the taste experience perfectly. The price-performance ratio is also more than fair here. For the quality of the food and the excellent service, you really get an exceptional amount here. I can fully recommend the Ölckenthurm and am already looking forward to my next visit!

After a long, long time I was drawn to the Ölckenturm again and what can I say, I was extremely pleasantly surprised! The vegetarian schnitzel was absolutely delicious, one of the best I've eaten in a long time. The salad was also plentiful and the wine was very good. Our service staff was very friendly and accommodating. In my opinion, the decoration could be modernized a bit, but you sit together in a cozy atmosphere. I'll be back! :)

Very good food, friendly and well organized service. We were there with 4 people and were very satisfied. R.M.

Were invited to dinner, but disappointed with the menu. To my great surprise, all four people chose the same food. The food was delicious and the quantity was enough to fill you up. Addendum from January 26, 2025 Were invited to a birthday dinner today. Unfortunately the food today was disappointing. The starter soup (potato soup) was too salty and the main course (Cordon Bleu with a difference) also got too much salt. All in all, quite disappointing considering the prices.

Very tasty food. Mostly good home cooking. Attentive and friendly staff.

The food tasted very good. Can recommend the salmon 👌. Overall it could have been a little more seasoned, otherwise great. Service and boss super friendly. Find the store chic, stylish and cozy.

We visited the restaurant for our anniversary and, as always, we were not disappointed. We were welcomed in a very friendly and humorous manner and were served like that throughout the evening. The service staff had their hands full, but they still took the time for each individual guest. A place was set up for us in the tower room for the candlelight dinner. It is very quiet and relaxed in this small private room. We had a selection of dishes for the different courses and we were really pleased with the quantity and quality of the food. The price/performance ratio is absolutely perfect here. We'd love to come back.

We have our date in the Ölckenturm once every month. When we arrive there the welcome is always very warm and personal. Thank you very much for that. ☺️ The table is usually super cute for the date. 🥰 Simply beautiful. We always enjoy coming. All great across the board. 😊

We were there in a larger group and had an extra room, which was very pleasant. The food was okay, but the portions were far too large and the taste was average. My pork fillet e.g. Example was well-cooked and dry, the beans were unseasoned. The hash browns were delicious. We also didn't like the fact that you had to choose the food 14 days before the appointment. Nevertheless, we had a nice evening there and because of the extra space the children were also able to keep themselves busy.

Depending on which space you have, it is a very nice atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. Food was tasty and prices are OK. The negative thing was that you have to pack leftovers yourself. Apparently for hygiene reasons, but for me it doesn't fit with the other service.

We were there with the family on Boxing Day. 5 adults 2 children For almost 40 euros per person we would have expected better [buffet] When we looked at the restaurant at 1 p.m. [reserved], the buffet was already very cleaned out. Lukewarm with it...well, in terms of taste. Upon request, it was then refilled after a waiting period. Staff stressed and sometimes annoyed. Locally very nice and clean.

The staff is nice, but so abrupt that they only spend a very short time at the table to order. It's a shame a little more communication would be better for everyone.

It's going ok. I'm not that excited anymore.

Very nicely decorated, extremely attentive staff, very friendly, excellent food, clear recommendation!

The food was very good, as was the service. It was very well attended, but unfortunately it was relatively loud. But it should be tolerated during Advent.

We were finally able to take part in the Christmas buffet on Christmas Day evening. Yes, finally. We (4 people) had to reserve 1.5 years in advance due to its popularity. The parking situation at the restaurant is very limited. There are roughly 6-8 parking spaces at the restaurant, the Neumarkt underground car park was occupied. So you look for a parking space somewhere. We found space in the REWE parking garage. After entering the dining room, we were then led to a table in the winter garden. Actually a good choice. But thanks to two larger groups and the conversation volume of the participants, we sometimes had to shout at each other at the table in order to be able to understand each other. But that's not because of the Ölckenthurm, but because of the way some people behave in restaurants. You think you own the world. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for service to order our drinks. After 20 minutes, our daughter went to the counter and politely asked if we could get something to drink too. As I said: there was a big Christmas buffet. There were beef roulades, fish, schnitzel, vegetarian food, spaetzle, rice and kale, lots of delicacies. The desserts were also very tasty (tiramisu, men's cream). Unfortunately I have to say that the usual problem with buffets is that the food is not always hot. The chafing dish version always means that you have to take the food from the middle at the bottom because the rest is only lukewarm. But since dishes were only under a thermal bridge, it is actually clear that here, for example. B. Can't expect a hot schnitzel. In the end we paid €200 including drinks for four people. From our point of view, this is absolutely fine for the quality of the dishes. We will definitely eat á la carte at Ölckenthurm once in 2025. We assume that the food temperature will then correspond to the usual restaurant standard. We would definitely like to say thank you for the delicious buffet and for being there for us on Christmas Day. Thank you.

Great service, great food, great location!

Hottest shop in Unna. Great food, which is also beautifully prepared, great ambience, nice staff and good value for money. Top

Very good restaurant, the food was delicious. The staff friendly and accommodating.

Good atmosphere, good food, friendly service, normal prices.

Six of us were there for Christmas dinner last week. Everything was just right... Price performance was simply great. Quality outstanding, service staff top, we were looked after very well and even the boss is there for the guests and cares with her heart and soul... you have to visit this restaurant when you are in Unna...

Great food, nice and friendly service, great atmosphere and boss...

As a guest you feel comfortable here. A lot of love for the job is evident. The beautiful rooms with historic tower rooms and the delicious food complete the overall impression. Portions are very generous. Top!

A very nice, lovingly furnished restaurant. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The food wasn't really my thing, but that's a matter of taste.

We were there with a group of under 20 people. Everything was good with the food, we all received our chosen menu almost at the same time. The drinks "service" was a disaster. We had to request “service” at least 3 times in 2 hours. So for this class of restaurant it was really a lack of service.

Food underground, everything full of glutamate, onion soup tasted like it came from a cheap can, sauces with glutamate, salad dressing tasted like it wasn't homemade. Vegetarian is offered, but appears to be frozen food. Ambiance and service very friendly

The “Restaurant Ölckenthurm” has accompanied us since 2010, starting with our wedding and has been an integral part of our lives. The team is adorable and has their hearts in the right place. What counts here is friendliness and always a smile on your face. The food is very delicious, 5 stars is still not enough. Everything is prepared with love in detail. Many thanks to the entire team and the magical moments✨ the atmosphere is wonderful✨

We were there yesterday and spent our 24th wedding anniversary there. I really have to say "wow" The ambience is beautiful! We sat in the tower and it was beautifully presented. The food was very tasty, and that means something to me. The staff came often to ask if everything was OK and if we had any requests, etc. So 5 stars to the staff. Very friendly and accommodating! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful evening. 🤗

The best restaurant in Unna. The food is very good and tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a great ambience I can only recommend this restaurant.

A big thank you to Ivonne! She sweetened our evening and was there to help us at any time! Always relaxed and yet serious! Thank you very much!🙏🏽

We were in the Ölckenthurm with 5 people and we were all thrilled. Very nice atmosphere, attentive, very friendly service, super tasty food, good value for money. It was a great evening all around. We would love to come back.

Very chic restaurant Nice staff. Our waitress Jenny in particular had a lot of fun with us (a bowling club) and always had a suitable saying in store. Thank you Jenny

We chose the Ölkenthurm for dinner after our son's baptism. The tower room was reserved for us and we are still thrilled. The food was simply great, the prices were totally fair, the service was so friendly and attentive. We are still raving about it and are happy that we spent the great day there. Thanks to the entire team for your great work. Gladly again!!!!

Very nice restaurant with delicious German cuisine. Prices for food and drinks normal.

We had dinner there yesterday with the bowling club. It was simply the culmination of our bowling trip. Great ambience. Very tasty food and super friendly staff. A special thanks goes to Jenny who entertained us so much! Thanks for that!!

The staff was super nice and attentive. The food was super tasty.

We celebrated our wedding in the Ölckenthurm on September 14th, 2024 and are still absolutely thrilled. Overall, we can only recommend everything. The contact in advance was very pleasant, incredibly friendly on the day of the wedding and afterwards too. Special thanks to Jenny, Yvonne and the nice young waiter. You contributed greatly to the perfect celebration for us. Special thanks also to the boss of the house for the great implementation of our ideas. Thank you and see you soon.

We have been a frequent guest at this restaurant for many years. Simply a family atmosphere and excellent quality of food

The boss is a little strange, otherwise everything is great, see stars

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience. You immediately feel comfortable. Food and service great. Thank you for the lovely evening.

I was a service provider at a wedding in the Ölckenthurm and can only give my best recommendation: super nice staff, great food. All in all a successful evening for both the bride and groom and guests, as well as for me! I'd love to come back :)

We celebrated our son's dream wedding there! It was a beautiful ambience, lovingly decorated, a very exquisite buffet and excellent service. We felt very comfortable and had a fantastic celebration!

Update July 24: We celebrated our wedding here and only received positive feedback from the guests. Everyone was absolutely blown away by the tower room, the warm service and the fantastic food. Absolute recommendation! By the way, we were allowed to put up the decorations ourselves and our decoration lady set everything up in the morning. We had a great dinner here with great service and delicious food. We are also planning to celebrate our wedding here in the tower room in the summer. I can only recommend reserving a table. When we spontaneously wanted to come on Sunday evening, we unfortunately couldn't eat there.

Pleasant atmosphere, very good and friendly service! The food was plentiful and very tasty!

It doesn't get any better than this

This restaurant is really great! Were there yesterday with a small wedding party and really no matter what it was: the food was on point! We were a few vegetarians and usually the best thing German restaurants can come up with is to leave out the meat and make some kind of vegetable mix. Here, however, in addition to the veggie dishes, it felt like every normal meat dish was also available as a veggie alternative (with a GOOD meat substitute!). The portions are huge, the (fantastic!) crème brûlée only barely fit in. The whole restaurant is clean and tidy. Nice beer garden! And last but not least, the staff: They asked about us about every 10 minutes, fulfilled every wish (whether gluten-free or something else) and answered the request to take a photo of us with a real "photo session". Totally nice, humorous people with whom you can joke and chat without it being "fake-friendly". I think this was last seen in this form somewhere in Germany in 1990!😂 By the way, this isn't a sponsored post, in case anyone gets the idea, but rather an honestly enthusiastic review for an extremely good restaurant. Many thanks to the team :)

We said “yes” and were able to celebrate this unforgettable day in the Ölckenthurm. 💍 It was a wonderful evening that we will not forget. Everything was perfect, a very tasty meal (buffet), a very nice and organized service, a beautiful location and therefore a completely successful end to a special day. Every occasion, be it a wedding, birthday, etc., deserves such a memory and we can therefore only recommend it. We would like to thank the entire Ölckenthurm team and are endlessly grateful for this great evening. LG The bride and groom

Absolutely recommended, great food and great service

You can enjoy the very good food in the beer garden

It's also a great place to sit together in a larger group. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. The restaurant is also suitable for vegetarians.

Excellent. That was awesome again today.

We were there for dinner on a Sunday evening with a total of 6 adults and a 4 year old child. There is something for every taste, we didn't wait long, the portions are generous, the atmosphere is great and the staff are incredibly friendly. There is an extra children's menu and the selection here is really great. You had the feeling that even little guests were welcomed and weren't perceived as annoying or too loud, as is so often the case. We'll definitely be back!

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will be warmly greeted by the staff and, if time permits, by the boss. As soon as you have been shown to the designated place, you can relax and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and concentrate on the food and drink menu. All the dishes on offer sound tasty and so far I haven't been disappointed with the cuisine. From the greetings from the kitchen to the starter and the main course and finally the dessert, the dishes were well prepared and above average in terms of taste. I can therefore recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience.

We had dinner with the family at the Ölckenthurm today and had a wonderful evening! The food was very, very tasty and the service was absolutely great! We'll definitely be back - THANK YOU for a thoroughly enjoyable evening! 😊

I celebrated our wedding anniversary here with my wife. We had a candlelight dinner. The food was excellent, the service was absolutely top notch and when the bill came I was pleasantly surprised. I can recommend all husbands to eat here with their wives. It's a unique experience.

Absolute recommendation in Unna, every visit is a pleasure. As with every visit, the portion size, price, ambience and service are fabulous. I always like to come back!

The entire Oelkenturm team is friendly and competent, thank you for our great and beautiful engagement party. We would love to come back.

I bought a voucher for a candlelight dinner. I have never seen such a beautiful, lovingly designed voucher. Now I'm really excited about the food. Now I finally ate there and it was fantastic. The restaurant is awesome: it is very lovingly and elegantly furnished. The tower room where we had the candlelight dinner is like from another time. The food is excellent and wonderfully arranged. My tips for the tower room: 1.the ideal place for a marriage proposal 2. Take a jacket with you, as it is a bit cold due to the thick walls (but fan heaters are used in winter) 3. Don't skimp on tips as the service is very professional, discreet and friendly. It wasn't the last time I was there.

Very tasty food, large portions, great ambience, cool service. You're really great, keep it up!

We were there today for the candlelight dinner and it was great. The ambience was great, the ladies in service were super friendly & attentive & the food was incredibly tasty. Definitely recommended & we will do it again.

Happy again at any time, highly recommended

We were there on our wedding day and ordered Candy liht dinner, it was so great 👍 I can only recommend it to everyone 👍

We went to the candlelight dinner in the ölkenturm and were very satisfied. Great atmosphere, very nice service and great food. Great value for money. I can only recommend it. Thank you for the nice evening. Kind regards

Great restaurant, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, food tastes great and is definitely recommended.

We discovered the Ölckenthurm many years ago through a voucher book and were immediately impressed by the ambience, the good quality and the reasonable price-performance ratio. The selection offers something for every taste and there are also offers for those who abstain from meat. Since discovering the Ölckenthurm, we have celebrated several family celebrations there and both young and old are consistently satisfied. Last week we celebrated our son's confirmation there and all the agreements made in advance were implemented exactly as discussed. We were lucky enough to get the tower room, which was met with great enthusiasm by the guests. This celebration was also carried out perfectly. About the food: everything is very tasty and you get reasonable value for the money. You will definitely feel full and the dishes are very tasty. The staff is always concerned about the well-being of the guests. I would particularly like to highlight a female service worker whose name we don't know, but who has always caught our eye in a positive way because of her interaction with the guests and who you can tell is that she "lives" her job. Having such a service person is an absolute asset for a restaurant. I think the Ölckenthurm knows who is meant. 5 stars for the restaurant, the ambience, the service staff and the quality and quantity of the food.

From A to Z everything was exceptionally good. We recommend!

We got a completely over-salted fillet steak, a pure pot of salt. Return and complaint failed because 2 pieces were cut off and eaten. If a third of the dish has been eaten, no return is possible, according to the Ölkenturm employee. This in the lucrative Christmas business does not show any goodwill, but rather shows the greed of making quick money, no matter who is sitting there. Never again for me at Ölkenturm.

Very good restaurant, attentive service, delicious, plentiful food at a fair price! We'd love to come back!

Always an experience. We live in the Netherlands and like to come every month. And the sauerbraten or the pork cheeks are my favorite food.

There were three of us there with my grandma. My grandma's schnitzel and asparagus were great. The potatoes were just strangely seasoned and didn't really taste like potatoes anymore. My pike perch with broccoli was very good in itself, but a bit too salty. My husband had rump steak with onions and fried potatoes and was extremely dissatisfied. OK. Can happen. What was quite unpleasant was that it was really very cold there. It was definitely great for the waitresses, because it was really packed there (Thursday evening), which speaks highly of the restaurant. The waitresses ran like crazy and were always very friendly. There is nothing to complain about. It's just a shame that we had to warm up in the car afterwards. Unfortunately no second visit.

The food was great as always. The asparagus was A1! The service can't be beat, great. I'm already looking forward to the asparagus buffet, which I've reserved twice. Completely forgot...the dessert - fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream and cream - a dream. Again and again!!!

Chic restaurant with good food, very nice, relaxed service. Food may be a little oversalted.

Last night we ate in Ölckenturm for the last time. The food was great, as always. Unfortunately the service has been disastrous (with one exception). We weren't even sitting at the table when two waiters came one after the other to ask what we would like to drink. We hadn't received a menu yet, how should we choose drinks? We ordered 1 bottle of wine, 2 glasses of wine were brought. Then the bottle we ordered arrived and was simply left unopened on the table without comment. We had just finished eating so we should immediately decide which dessert we would like. We pointed out that we still had 1/3 bottle of wine to drink and needed time to do it. Then we ordered the desserts and 1 espresso macchiato and 1 cappuccino. We got 1 espresso and a cappuccino that spilled over the cup, the saucer was full. A waiter kept coming by and asking if he could put away the glass that had just been emptied. We felt rushed and at 8:30 p.m. we left the restaurant in exasperation. We have brought several friends and acquaintances here and praised the place. Unfortunately we can no longer do that even though the food is very good. A pity!

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. Top address in Unna!

You'll love going to this restaurant again and again! Everything great!

We enjoyed the Easter buffet with 6 people. Very good meals. There was something suitable for everyone. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. Price performance absolutely fine! We were very satisfied!! 👍❣️

We were able to enjoy the excellent Easter buffet with 7 people. My guests and I were thrilled by the selection and delicious preparation, as well as the service. It couldn't be better. The price was more than reasonable. We would have paid more for that. It was constantly refilled and the ingredients were of the finest quality. Thank you very much, we will be back.

Very nice atmosphere. Food is delicious and homely. Have eaten there many times and would love to come back.

The booking was not implemented. In any case, the food was very good

From the warm atmosphere to the excellent food and service, my stay at Ölckenthurm was absolutely first class. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, and the food in the restaurant was great. The holiday apartment offered a cozy atmosphere that immediately made you feel at home. Overall, I can highly recommend both the restaurant and the holiday apartment and look forward to coming back soon!

You won't be disappointed here. Quality of the food matches the slightly higher prices. Service very friendly. Ambience a bit staid, you have to like it. But the food makes you forget it quickly. Always my pleasure.

My partner and I went there for Valentine's Day last week. There was a Valentine's menu with a buffet. Everything was beautifully decorated with candles and rose petals. As always, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was very cozy and the staff were very friendly. We were very satisfied.
