I ended up with a small version of the vegetable stew, which was nice to finish off with. I was provided bread as an accompaniment. I definitely was stuffed after those three things. But that didn't stop me from trying with Tiramisu, which was the best out of Italy. The service was impeccable. All the servers were taking care of me and there was no confusion from server to server. They all communicated on my needs, what I ordered, and what I was looking to do. Everyone spoke English and there was no problems with communicating. It was pretty quiet. It was a Wednesday night and I walked right in. No reservation was needed but I wouldn't count on that. For US travelers (maybe other non-German travelers), I did have an issue with my credit card while at the restaurant. It was on their payment system, not my card. I was able to pay with cash - although they do not accept it. Just have more than one payment method on you, so you don't run into problems. It was mostly a 5 star experience (minus the paying issue).

We partook in the Klee menu a few weeks ago during our travel to Cologne. What really stood out to…read moreme was the aesthetics and vision of the menu. Each dish had varying degrees of sweet, sour, umami, bitter, fat, and salty. Some of the presentation were quite whimsical like the origin of the pretzel shape and its presentation, and some were stunning like the rose in smoke and the chocolate course resembling multiple galaxies. In terms of flavor though, we thought most of the dishes tasted good but nothing really stood out as amazing. I remember the visuals more than the taste of any particular dish. This is my own preference, but I think in trying to showcase all 6 tastes in each dish, all of the dishes ended up sort of blending together without much character or that explosion of flavors that make you close your eyes to savor each bite. I also liked the ambiance here - we had a view of the river from our seat and were surrounded my modern art and meditation music. We also did the wine pairing, but I actually thought the sekt we ordered off the menu was the best. The pairing wines had a great vision and introduced different grape varietals based on when they were first harvested, but we did not particularly think they complemented the dishes nor all that delicious. They also had a great concept of producing a map with QR codes that you can read more about the wines, but unfortunately were outdated so the finishing wines were a little lost on us. Also a heads up that the tasting menu lasted almost 5 hours, which is the longest from my experience. If you're with good company, that's fine but good to know if you have other evening plans.

Für meinen Besuch habe ich beschlossen, auf das verfügbare "Kleeblatt" (vegetarisches Menü) und die…read morealkoholfreie Kombination zu verzichten, um das klassische "Ochsen" (Fleisch- und Fischmenü mit Wein) zu genießen ... obwohl es sich bei beiden um "Überraschungsmenüs" handelt . Die Idee von Chefkoch Gottschlich für das Restaurant besteht darin, jedes Gericht so zu komponieren, dass es alle sechs Hauptgeschmacksrichtungen enthält: süß, salzig, sauer, bitter, Umami und Fett. Von den Amuse-Bouches bis zu den abschließenden Petit Fours ist ihm das offensichtlich hervorragend gelungen. Besonders gut hat mir das Kalbfleisch, das Knochenmark mit Kalbsbries in Tortellini und der Trüffelschaum gefallen. Ich war auch mit dem Teller mit Jakobsmuscheln, Kaviar, schwarzer Limette und Rhabarber zufrieden. Die Kellner wirkten entspannt und waren äußerst hilfsbereit. Ich grinste über die Uniform, die das Küchenpersonal trug, als es in den Speisesaal kam, um zu helfen. Ein jüngerer Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) würde die Lederschürzen, Riemen und Schnallen wahrscheinlich gutheißen. Nach dem Essen sprach ich draußen mit ein paar Gästen, während ich auf den Taxiservice wartete. Anscheinend habe ich keines der vegetarischen Gerichte nah genug gesehen, um auf die Bemühungen der Köche hinweisen zu können. Mein Verlust. Jetzt muss ich zurückkehren, um die "Klee"-Gerichte zu probieren. / For my visit, I decided to pass on the available "clover," (vegetarian menu) and non-alcoholic pairing to enjoy the classic "ox," (meat and fish menu with wine)... although both are "surprise" menus. Chef Gottschlich's idea for the restaurant is to compose each dish to contain all 6 primary tastes: sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, and fat. From the amuse bouches to the final Petit fours, he has obviously succeeded admirably. I particularly enjoyed the veal, bone marrow with sweetbreads in tortellini and truffle foam. I was also pleased with the scallop, caviar, black lime and rhubarb plate. The servers seemed relaxed and were extremely helpful. I did smirk at the uniform that the kitchen staff was wearing when they came onto the dining floor to assist. A younger Martin Gore (DM) would probably approve of the leather aprons, straps and buckles. After my meal, I spoke with a couple of diners outside while waiting for the taxi service. Apparently, I did not see any of the vegetarian dishes close enough to remark on the efforts of the chefs. My loss. Now I have to return to try the "clover" dishes. 2023 09 01. M2.

The problem with this meal is that they give you large helpings of the quark with not enough other food to put the quark on. My brother got the salmon toast. He liked my quark on it better than the horseradish sauce provided. Overall, the meals were slightly off and I was still hungry when done. The rhubarb juice is great though! And i like that they serve the local van dyck coffee. I like that the restaurant has a back patio seating area. The decor in the restaurant is not quite there though. It's a little bare and could use maybe some more plants or something to pull it together a little more. The service was good. Overall, the place is ok, but has not quite reached Instagram perfect yet.

I particularly enjoy uniquely styled restaurants that are intimate but classy and elegant. Pure White in Cologne is the perfect expression of what an awesome gastronomic experience is. The personalized service, attention to detail, ambiance, personable and engaging owners only complement the exotic and superb food and wines. Pure White is among my own top five restaurants in the world. I plan to return as often as my travels take me back to Cologne. P.S. Try the lobster soup.. Out of this world!

Das Serviceteam ist auf alle unsere Wünsche bezüglich Aufbau, Catering, Technik etc. eingegangen und war sehr gut vorbereitet. Zu Beginn der Veranstaltung, hat sich Herr Osman persönlich vorgestellt und sich rückversichert, dass alles zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit ist. Neben der fantastischen Aussicht über Köln war das Essen ein besonderes Highlight im Osman 30. Wir haben die vielfältigen kulinarischen Optionen in dem einladenden Ambiente sehr genossen. Im Osmann gibt es ein qualitatives hochwertiges Angebot, sowohl für Vegetarier als auch für Fleischesser. Insgesamt ist das Osman 30 als Eventlocation und Restaurants sehr empfehlenswert. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen.

I was invited to a small birthday dinner here in osman 30, on the 30th floor of the cologne tower…read morelast September. If no one knows what the cologne tower is, it's basically a tall sky scraper in the city of cologne and on the 30th floor is the restaurant with panoramic views over every angle of cologne and a direct view of the cologne Dom. There is an outside terrace where you can chill and take in the sights and the 30th floor is split into a restaurant, wine bar and lounge. The restaurant interior is very contemporary, really liked it. It was very bright, trendy and chic. You have huge windows over looking the city and very breath taking, taking in the night sky and lights. Food is ok, not breath taking but for the quality you get I think its expensive, I found the food very bland with really no taste and waiting for the main course takes its time, a bit too long really and service does lack. When ordering your food they don't really write down how you want you meat cooked. If your use to high quality then you will be disappointed. But the restaurant is not really known for its food but more for the views. It is something different but well worth the visit, a cheaper alternative would be to have a cocktail / drink on the terrace and enjoy the views.
