Sticky Fingers Restaurant & Terrasse in Köln

A mediocre to good restaurant. The food was tasty but nothing special. The prices are too high, but the food is filling. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

The ambiance and view are excellent, and the food was also good. Unfortunately, the food and drinks are very expensive.

I had lunch at a restaurant in front of Cologne Cathedral, and after exploring, I crossed the bridge and came in because it had such a great view of the cathedral. I was already full, so I only had a cappuccino, so I can't really comment on the food, but the view was truly breathtaking. They say the night view is even better, but I couldn't stay until nighttime, so I was content with the daytime view. At €7.40 for two cappuccinos, it's cheaper than the one in front of Cologne Cathedral, which is nice.

With this view, everything's OK. The food is good with a good selection. The fries are very good. It's a self-service restaurant.

Great location - concept not my thing. I somehow prefer being served when I go out to eat. Unless I'm going for a takeaway, but then I also want takeaway portions and prices. But this concept of having to go to the counter for all my orders is honestly not my thing. Especially not when the plates are left standing after the meal and you have to clear them away yourself if you want to have a seat. The location is, of course, great and explains the comparatively high prices. However, I find the short opening hours incomprehensible given the location. The food gets four stars because the sweet potato fries are outstanding! Otherwise, it was pretty average.

The restaurant stands out with its style. It's very modern, close to the water, and the food is world-class. Prices are reasonable. There were some difficulties with serving due to high occupancy, but I think that's manageable.

The view from here is unmatched. Gorgeous view of the Cologne cathedral. The food was excellent and the portions were so much we had to take away. There was old school 80’s/90’s hip hop playing and I loved it! Inside and outside seating. Outside there is allowed smoking. Not something we are used to in our country so just adding to be known for others. The view is worth it.

Apple pie is highly recommended. Staff very friendly. Price/performance ratio good.

Sticky Fingers surprises with its cozy atmosphere and impresses with its location directly on the Rhine; ideal for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The selection is diverse, with particularly good vegan options (bowls, curries, fries). The self-service style is relaxed and uncomplicated! While it's not a bargain in terms of price, the quality, ambiance, and view are top-notch. A definite recommendation!

Very cool located place. It’s crowded during the day but the food was great and it was worthy of waiting.

Self-service restaurant with a beautiful view of Cologne Cathedral and the Rheinterrassen promenade. Reasonable prices for food and drinks.

We wanted to try Kölsch beer. They had it as Sion. The view was beautiful.

Despite being a self-service restaurant, similar to McDonald's, the service was rather courteous. There's a beautiful view of the cathedral and the boat traffic on the Rhine.

Very nice principle, reasonable prices, very good atmosphere 👍

The food was delicious. The burgers, in particular, were top-notch. There's a very nice selection of food. The self-service option is also a good idea. What I liked best was the view of Cologne Cathedral from the restaurant.

I found the waiters truly talented. The table was cleared immediately after the meal. I'd be happy to come back for a timely clearing service. 11/10

The perfect place for romantic dates on the Rhine promenade.

Nice restaurant, with self-service, but a fantastic view of the cathedral, the Philharmonic Hall and Great St. Martin.

The self-service prices are unreasonable. Otherwise, it's nice.

Service and food were okay. There's only one restroom for women in a restaurant of this size. Very small anteroom for washing hands. Very inconvenient, cramped, and you have to wait inside the restaurant!!! It's extremely haphazard to ruin such a chic place with this approach. What architect had this idea?

Stunning views to the cathedral and the bridge. I got a very tasty hamburger and very large portion of cheesefries. Maybe the hamburger would've been enough on itself. Service isn't the most fancy as you need to pick the food from the desk and bring back your dishes but we didn't think that's a problem. What matters is that the ordering was fast and the food was ready quickly. Table on the terrace was wobbly and one wasp was harrasing us but we didn't really mind those either. Overall 5/5 experience!

We had a lovely evening there! (Before a concert at the Tanzbrunnen) The fish and chips and the Caesar salad were delicious!!! The service was very attentive and very friendly. The prices are more than fair!

The Sticky Fingers Restaurant and Terrasse is run by the World of Hyatt Group and it has an interesting concept: It does not have table service and it is solely self-service and the food is bar & finger food with burgers, french fries, beer sides, etc etc… Actually this concept is understandable because the Grissini Restaurant in next door directing the clients to Sticky Fingers who only wants to have beer in their terrace to watch the lovely view… So Sticky Fingers welcomes the clients who only want to have beer, or burgers etc with a casual way… and Grissini welcomes some kibd of finer dining… Furthermore Sticky Fingers is open beyond the times of Grissini… For us dining in Sticky Fingers was casual and it was comfortable… During our one week stay in Köln, we visited the Sticky Fingers once and it was nice… The food is beer-food, fast-food type as you can understand from the name and it was nice, the staff attentive, and the view was perfect; clearly seas everything; the Dom Cathedral, Museum, Bridge, the Rhine… they are just in front of you… We recommended the Sticky Fingers to beer and comfort food lovers..

We ordered a sandwich, fries, and a drink. The sandwich tasted good, but it fell apart so much it was hard to eat. The sandwich was spicy, but those who like it spicy can enjoy it. The fries were delicious. We received our order quickly, so we only had to wait 3-5 minutes to order.

Okay for a drink with a view of Cologne Cathedral! Self-service!

Outdoor terrace with views of the Rhine and the cathedral. Self-service

Self-service, seat cushions to take yourself, nice sitting on the Rhine and enjoying unfortunately there were no citizens as advertised, a pity....so there was coffee and cake and currywurst with fries for the last dish 13.50 was quite sporty

Great location right on the Rhine. The price/performance ratio is also good.

Located directly on the Rhine with a view of the cathedral

Top location. I had the philly cheese steak sandwich. I regret not taking a picture of the sandwich because it was really beautiful, but above all it was delicious. The only flaw is the fact that you have to get up to go and order. Recommended.

It's self-service. We were there on a Sunday evening when the weather was perfect. No long waits. Good food (we had burgers and salad). The staff was extremely friendly.

Nice low key self service restaurant with good food and amazing views. Really enjoyed the Alkoholfrei Bitburger and Cancun tacos.

There were two of us, and we didn't have to wait long for a seat. It's an interesting spot with a beautiful view. The prices are reasonable. The value for money is only justified by the ambiance. The food is interchangeable with all those other hamburger joints.

We were just here to enjoy the view. In fact, you can sit outside right by the Rhine and relax, overlooking the cathedral.

Perfect spot. Tasty food. Prices are good for the quality provided 👍

It's a shame that the kitchen closed before 8 p.m. on a Monday evening. Given the location, they should be able to offer evening service, especially when the store's opening hours are until 9 p.m. In any case, we went to the nearest restaurant without drinks or even dinner. What a shame.

We preferred it for lunch. The view of the restaurant, located right next to the Cologne Chain Bridge, was quite nice. It seems a bit difficult to find a place outside :) Sticky Burger + Sweet Potato Fries + Ketchup + BitBurger Drink, we paid a total of 28.40 €. The burger and fries were quite nice. I recommend it. You can have lunch and dinner. It is a very spacious place. You can communicate with the staff in English.

A beautiful terrace to stop for a beer and enjoy the sites of the city.

Great restaurant/cafe. It is self-service, you have to pay extra for the staff to smile. A friendly word is not included in the price. But the food and drinks are fine. The view makes the rating 4 stars.

I ate something and drank a wheat beer. I was able to sit outside with a great view of the Rhine, the Hohenzollern Bridge, and the cathedral. Perfect.

If you can sit outside with a view of the cathedral, then I recommend the location

Self service was bit was abit of a pain but the food was really nice, and the views were lovely aswell

Enjoyed a delicious brownie, the other cakes also looked delicious

Delicious burgers with a nice view

perfect view, perfect ambiance, good staff. love it :)

Expensive, uninspiring food, and you end up having to dispose of the trash yourself. There's not much to offer here other than the view.

The food was delicious, albeit quite expensive! But here, you're paying for the view and the Hyatt. I won't be eating there again, but you can stop in for a quick coffee or a small Kölsch beer. It's a shame there's no service.

Four of us were there for dinner, including two children. The little ones had homemade fries and nuggets, which were delicious. We also had a burger and fried fish with fries. It's entirely self-service! But everything worked out quickly and easily. The view is simply wonderful, with a direct view of Cologne Cathedral.

...All in all, the location is the only reason I go here and there. Two employees to take orders are WAY too few... Up to an hour to order... Another hour to wait for the ordered food... THAT'S just not acceptable... Then I experienced this yesterday: by the way, it still says it's open until 10 PM! But it was already closed at 9 PM 🙈 That's just not acceptable... Dear Hyatt, the location alone doesn't help either. I urgently request improvement... Best regards, P Neff

Self-service restaurant with a beautiful view of the old town and Cologne Cathedral

The problem is that the food is never ready at the same time!

Self-service, delicious food, burgers and sweet potato fries are VERY tasty. Great panorama and view of the cathedral!!!

The location is, of course, crucial for a visit, especially in nice weather. The food was sometimes delicious, sometimes not so. The prices are commensurate with the location...but still affordable.

I like the mix of self service and beer garden, very good concept. The only thing that annoys me is guests who leave rubbish on their tables. Ignorants. Great view for everyone.

Best outside with a great view of the cathedral! Very nice staff! Super delicious, those 🌮!

Self-service - therefore a bit un-relaxed. Enjoy your meal.

Nice restaurant with good food. I can only give 2* for the service because it is self-service. But at the checkout and pickup everyone was super nice. I liked the atmosphere. Better to be beautiful and simple than expensive and kitschy. If we were in Cologne again, Sticky Fingers would be an option again.

Beautiful view, nice service, delicious food and everything went quickly

The view was the only thing that was good. Waited forever for food, order was overlooked, the beepers (that notify you when your food is ready) are broken, the tacos weren't tacos and didn't taste good, the burgers were way too small for the price, there wasn't the drink selection as described on the menu.

Self service needed Best spot for the dorm, food is extraordinary good but also expensive, worth a try here. I love the bier, Bulmers! Owesome

I cannot confirm the reviews here and am disappointed. I only rated the service here as 2 because it is a self-service restaurant. In other words, I have to order the food at the front and then pick it up myself and clear the table myself. There are NOT enough menus available so that you can see in advance what you want to order. The display of the dishes was displayed above the order point. However, everything was so mixed up that it was difficult to get an overview. The food was even more disappointing. We each had a burger with fries. The burger bun had been baked for too long and was hard or too tough to cut. I had a chicken burger. The chicken was so overcooked that it was too dry. The fries were weak. The sweet potato fries, on the other hand, were fried dark brown and unseasoned except for a little salt. They were so heavily fried that they almost only tasted fatty and the sweet potato flavor was barely there. The price per person is more like €20-30. The information here must be out of date.

Great food, wild views and great prices! Nevertheless, we would love to come back! It was absolutely worth it!

Great view of the cathedral on the other side of the Rhine.

Toller Ausblick. Nette Sitzgelegenheit. Ganz gutes Essen.

Really nice self-service restaurant, with a beautiful view over the river and the cathedral

Totally delicious, great location, nice staff

The location is TOP, but in my opinion a self-service concept doesn't fit here at all. When you sit outside you have to constantly go in to get new drinks...

We had lunch with our family. The food was of high quality, and the view was delightful.

Self service restaurant with good food and fast service. The menus are a little bit pricy but the view is spectacular.

Guacamole from bottle, really? I mean, if i go to a restaurant and pay an extra for having guacamole in my fries, I expect it not to be from bottle. 8€ for a bottle of water The burgers were ok, although the beef pulled burger is flooded in sauce and meat was rather dry. Location is good Self-service

Had a weekday lunch here. Great indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the rhine. Its self service, with a great varied menu. Food was excellent, especially the vegan super bowl. Highly recommend

Great location. Super nice staff..

Pommes were stale, sandwiches fell apart. Prices for the food quality- total fail. Cologne has so much more to offer.

Unfortunately, we didn't get anything to eat. First, we had to wait until we got to the ordering counter, only to be told we had to wait half an hour for a burger. No thanks. The prices here aren't exactly bargains.

Great and tasy food, sizes are okay- sandwich was perfect. The shrimps were a small portion. Service alright but u sit there for the view definitely!

Great location inside and out. Service is nice and the food unfortunately fell a little short of my expectations. The fries and the PULLED BEEF FRIES were a bit boring.

Super nice place☺️ love the Lillet Wildberry

If you get a seat outside, you have this wonderful view of the Don, Rhine and Deutzer Bridge. The pulled beef burger is very tasty and not so oversized that it gives you a stomach ache 😋 You can order half a liter of wheat with it with a clear conscience. The store is self-service, but the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic location opposite the cathedral, very full when the weather is good, prices corresponding to the location, self-service only

We really enjoyed our visit to Sticky Fingers, we were only in Cologne for 2 days and decided upon this restaurant because it catered to my whole family. We tried the Sticky Fingers burger, kids burger and the Currywurst, all were so yummy! It was a little pricey but seemed to match up to other places around this area. The restaurant is self-service which I think works well for them, it creates a chill atmosphere and the view there is gorgeous, you can see the cathedral, lock bridge and river!

Self service for drinks and food but the view is amazing with the cathedral as a background.

Very friendly, great view of the Rhine. We only drank coffee, so we can't say anything about the food. However, they looked quite tasty at the neighboring tables.

Fast food, but with a view of the cathedral and old town on the Rhine

I ordered a Heren chocolate cake! The worst, I have terrible stomach ache. Not sure since how many days is that cake there, not fresh at all! Avoid any desserts!

Delicious burger with a nice view. The price is a bit higher.

I went on a weekday. There wasn’t a suitable place to sit outside because it was very cold. Inside, it was very calm and warm. It has a beautiful interior design and a great view. The food was very delicious, and the portions of fries were generous. The prices were reasonable for such an establishment.

Nice place for a quick coffee break Price performance top. Gladly again 10 minutes from the cathedral 👍

Beautiful view from the window of the bridge and river.

Unfortunately not recommended. Burger is 0815, long waiting time (40+ min) and with every additional drink you have to queue again to order something. The view of the cathedral is nice.

Nice concept with self-service, and yet it is quite cozy. Beautiful along the water. Food is tasty and fresh. Highly recommended.

Had the fish and chips and very fresh and good. Atmosphere was nice and festive as it was around the holidays.

Good concept with self-service. Tasty food.

The food is very delicious and the portions are generous, it is not expensive at all and they have a very varied menu. The Christmas atmosphere is great and being on the edge of the river, the view is unbeatable. On the other hand, it is basically self-service so a lot is on your own.

Coole Lokation direkt an der Uferpromenade am Hyatt Sehr leckere Burger und Bowls Jederzeit wieder

Food is good except fries (it’s too much for one person and not that good)

When you are friendly, the staff is friendly too. Also very tasty carrot cake

It is my fav cafe I always visit when I come to the city. I also come with my friends and family. Stuff is always smiling, and food are delicious ❤️ and the view of the cafe 🤫😉

Great selection and delicious food

We went with my friend who lives in Germany and ordered hot chocolate. However, it was not thick in consistency. The taste is acceptable. You can communicate with the employees in simple English. We went in October when it was quiet, but it can get crowded in the spring. The view is beautiful.

Yummy! I was able to try fish and chips and was extremely satisfied. The chips actually deserve an extra star. Nice, uncomplicated people in service and kitchen.
