Unfriendly, brazen waiters. Refused to give us a table despite having free ones. Do not go.

I don’t know where all these good reviews are coming from. Maybe it’s the feeling during the summer, sitting outside and enjoying this lovely quiet place(the only reason to give more than two stars). The staff is so rude and not service oriented. The Tapas are average, warmed up in a microwave. Expensive and poor quality.

Well I was not allowed to have just coffee or just a glass of wine by the elder unfriendly lady responsible for the seating, while most tables inside as well outside were available. It was a nice opportunity to discover a lot of nicer places in the same neighbourhood.

Super nice place, the food is great and the staff excellent. We had a good time. Thanks guys !

Found by chance. It was quiet, tucked away in a courtyard. We had a small amount of food. The bread and the whipped garlic butter was delicious. The waitress was very knowledgeable and could speak several languages. It was lovely.

The food is quite simple and greasy. Was expecting some fresh tapas but felt more like canned , refrigerated goods warmed up in microwave. The staff was friendly but not really efficient. The sangria was 3/4 parts of ice 1/4 part of the drink which was a shame because it was really tasty. Do not recommend.

Good grilled steaks and tasty beer

I was really excited to try this place. Unfortunately, we were turned away even after making an online reservation. We made a reservation for 2030. We showed up at 2034 and we were told there was no reservation. We asked if we could be seated and they said their kitchen is about to close (posted hours for kitchen closing are 2130). We ended up trying the Argentinian restaurant next door instead.

(Translated by Google) Unfriendly and unpleasant staff. There was no one there yet so it wasn't "too much work". We asked friendly and we were always answered with snappy answers. Visually super inviting. The staff wipes out the atmosphere. (Original) Unfreundliches und unangenehmes Personal. Es war noch Niemand da also an "zu viel Arbeit" lag es nicht. Wir haben freundlich gefragt und uns wurde stets mit patzigen Antworten entgegnet. Optisch super einladend. Das Personal macht die Atmosphäre zunichte.

Such an awful service, not enough workers there, food quality average and expensive, burned meat! you can not pay with card! Typical german restaurant who are trying to skip the tax! and also not polite workers.

Food was average, most of the tapas served in same sauce.. service was very poor and disappointing

Tasty food, easy ordering. Very friendly staff. Cosy outdoor seating place. But busy, we did not make a reservation and were lucky a couple just left. Would recommend this place, all was good.

Fantastic service, fantastic food, fantastic ambiance. Absolutely delicious. I will be craving this until I visit the next time. Just like being in Spain. Recommend the pimentos de padrón.

Very cosy nice and friendly, the food is fenomenally tasty.

Well, the place looks good from inside and outside and I think that the ambient would be nice in summer. Above that, the food was not good. Some Tapas were to much spiced and the other Tapas were not special or worth trying it. I guess 2 stars are fair.

(Translated by Google) Good and very tasty tapas, friendly and attentive service, good location. (Original) Gute und sehr leckere Tapas, freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung, gute Location.

(Translated by Google) Location and very friendly staff! The terrace has a very romantic side. The food is ok and the prices too. (Original) Lieu et personnel très chaleureux ! La terrasse à un côté très romantique. La nourriture est correct et les prix aussi.

(Translated by Google) Delicious! The tapas are really highly recommended, and the service is really good. Everything top ? (Original) Super lecker! Die Tapas sind wirklich sehr zu empfehlen, und der Service ist richtig gut. Alles top ?

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, but some things like new bread or new drink were gladly forgotten. But the waiters are very nice (Original) Leckeres Essen, allerdings wurden einige Sachen wie neues Brot oder neues Getränk gerne vergessen. Dafür sind die Bedienungen sehr nett

(Translated by Google) Spanish tapas and more beautifully located and the food is great !! (Original) Spanische Tapas und mehr sehr schön gelegen und die Speisen sind Top!!

(Translated by Google) Delicious, always happy. Yes, it is in the middle of the tourism district. But Ostermannplatz has no meaning for me and my friend. Et Billa ... Tapas neat, wine very good. The Cash Only could be abolished. No card is not very up to date. (Original) Lecker, immer wieder gerne. Ja, ist mitten im Touriviertel. Aber Ostermannplatz hat für mich und meinen Freund ne Bedeutung. Et Billa... Tapas ordentlich, Wein sehr gut. Das Cash Only könnte man abschaffen. Keine Karte ist nicht sehr Up to Date.

(Translated by Google) Super tapas! (Original) Super tapas!

(Translated by Google) Delicious eatery with a cozy atmosphere. The food is ok but still has a lot of room for improvement. In itself 4 stars are too much and 3 stars too little. 3.5 would be just right. (Original) Schnuckeliges Lokal mit einer gemütlichen Atmosphäre. Das Essen ist ok hat aber noch viel Luft nach oben. An sich sind 4 Sterne zu viel und 3 Sterne zu wenig. 3,5 wären genau richtig.

What a fantastic hidden Tapas restaurant in Cologne. Very reasonable and the best thing is if Ina serves you. She is just brilliant, full of info, smiles and laughter. INA even had a beer with us. We highly recommend this place for brilliant service and great food.

(Translated by Google) Very delicious, super nice service, very comfortable. Always my pleasure. (Original) Sehr sehr lecker, super nette Bedienung, sehr gemütlich. Immer wieder gerne.

Really nice restaurant. Good tapas, friendly staff. Kids friendly as well. Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Quietly located inside a inner courtyard. If you like tapas or steak, or Mallorcan food in general, give them a try.

Really enjoyed this. Had 5 tapas, all Tasted brilliant. Friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere and their dog was very sweet! 🐶

I give one star because I can't give less. They completely ruined my short holidays in Cologne. To begin with, I don’t know who told them that they serve Spanish tapas!!! Have you ever come to Spain and eat real tapas? “Croquetas” made with smashed potatoes, Spanish cheese (?) cut in cubes (!), the worst “Serrano” ham I’ve ever eaten. That’s not Spanish food anywhere; maybe for someone who has never been into Spain. Secondly, the price of the wines… OMG!! Average wines at 40€ the bottle?? Thirdly, they don’t allow you to pay separate bills by card. Everything must be paid in one card transaction. Lastly but the most serious: by accident they let a bottle of wine fall over my left foot, hitting strongly exactly on the second phalange of my big toe. As you can imagine, the pain was excruciating. I did not know if I had broken something or whatever. The reaction of the staff was astonishing! While I was agonizing in pain, they were offering us beer or desert!!! Amazing! They did give us some ice so I could apply on my toe. But, no trace of humanity, not an apology, nothing!!!! If you want a piece of advice, don’t go to this place!

Staff is very friendly, food is good but the serano ham is cut too thick and you can't pay with card. 3/5 stars.

I have been here a few years back, but I must say the quality of some of the dishes has gone down. / The sitting area is in a yard and that makes it quite nice and peaceful

Great staff, great atmosphore, great food. Will definitly come back next visit!

Good food, friendly staff, nice and cozy location :)

Hidden jewel in the city centre of Cologne.

Great steak and mixed grill options.

Tucked out of the way in one of the smaller squares, Rosendorn offers indoor and outdoor dining with emphasis on tapas but with larger dishes available, if you've not filled your belly using the tapas 🍛🥗🥙

We had a lovely meal here and would highly recommend. The food was great and the service friendly and welcoming.

Food not fresh as expected for a Tapas bar. Not recommended.

Quirky place with a unique dining and service experience. You have to embrace the experience and 'go with the flow' otherwise you're in the wrong place. Good food, great wine (recommended by the staff) and a quaint atmosphere. Seafood pasta was FANTABULOUS and the portion was enough for 2. Tapas is different, but super tasty and all part of the experience.

(Translated by Google) Well, the tapas were moderate, far too hot for my company. 5 boiled potatoes with 2 sauces for 8.50 euros are just too expensive. And last but not least, you can't even pay for the overpriced food with a card ... (Original) Naja, die Tapas waren mäßig, für meine Begleitung viel zu scharf. 5 gekochte Kartoffeln mit 2 Soßen für 8,50 Euro sind auch einfach zu teuer. Und zu guter Letzt kann man das überteuerte Essen nicht mal mit Karte bezahlen...

(Translated by Google) Food super delicious, friendly service, nice atmosphere in the courtyard. We will definitely be back !!! ? (Original) Essen super lecker, freundlicher Service, hübsches Ambiente im Innenhof. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder!!!?

(Translated by Google) Ridiculous that in 2020 you have to run to the ATM again because you cannot pay with a card. (Original) Lächerlich dass man im Jahre 2020 noch mal zum Geldautomaten rennen muss weil man nicht mit Karte zahlen kann.

(Translated by Google) Nice shop, hidden in the old town. Eat good. Card payment not possible, people we have 2020, save your taxes differently. (Original) Schöner Laden, versteckt in der Altstadt. Essen gut. Keine Kartenzahlung möglich, Leute wir haben 2020, spart eure Steuern anders.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Fantastic evening! The Rosendorn is a real gem in Cologne's old town, which, contrary to the typical tourist hotspots, convinces with honest and, above all, fresh food. Lovingly hidden, there is an idyllic backyard with a spacious outdoor terrace, among other things. delicious tapas and quality wine on offer. Waitress Ina in particular made this evening a perfect end to the working day for my work colleagues and me. With her loving Cologne manner, her service awareness and a good pinch of humor, she gave us a wonderful evening. We would like to come again! (Original) Fantastisches Essen. Fantastischer Service. Fantastischer Abend! Das Rosendorn ist ein echtes Kleinod in der Kölner Altstadt, das entgegen der typischen Touri-Hotspots mit ehrlichem und vor allem frischem Essen überzeugt. Liebevoll versteckt, gibt es hier in einem idyllischen Hinterhof mit großzügiger Außenterrasse u.a. köstliche Tapas und hochwertigen Wein im Angebot. Besonders Kellnerin Ina hat diesen Abend für meine Arbeitskolleginnen und mich zum einem perfekten Ausklang des Arbeitstages gemacht. Mit ihrer liebevoll kölschen Art, ihrem Servicebewusstsein und einer tüchtigen Prise Humor hat sie uns einen wunderbaren Abend beschert. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Sehr gemütliche, kleine Tapasbar, kommen immer wieder gerne.

(Translated by Google) It was my second time here today and it just tastes great ? (Original) Ich bin heute das zweite Mal hier gewesen und es schmeckt einfach großartig ?

Tasty food, quickly served at a decent price.

Best Place in Town! Best Wine and Tapas!

Friendly staff, spoke good english and delicious food - would definitely visit again

(Translated by Google) The rose thorn was advertised to me as the Tappas eatery in Cologne. Unfortunately, I couldn't share this opinion. Yes it had tasted but it was far below expectations. However, the prices were too high for me. But maybe I'm spoiled by our Spaniard. The atmosphere, especially outside in the courtyard, was really nice. But everyone should get their own picture. (Original) Das Rosendorn wurde mir als das Tappas Lokal schlechthin in Köln angepriesen. Leider konnte ich diese Meinung nicht teilen. Ja es hatte geschmeckt aber es blieb weit hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Allerdings waren die Preise für mich zu hoch. Aber vielleicht bin ich auch verwöhnt von unserem Spanier. Das Ambiente vor allem draußen im Innenhof war schon echt schön. Aber jeder sollte sich sein eigenes Bild machen.

(Translated by Google) Food was very, very tasty. Suitable for vegetarians and meat eaters. Service more than friendly and certainly wonderful to sit outside in summer. I will gladly come again. (Original) Essen war sehr sehr lecker. Für Vegetarier und Fleischesser geeignet. Bedienung mehr als freundlich und im Sommer sicherlich wunderbar zum draußen sitzen. Ich komme gerne wieder.

We had a very nice evening in this tapas bar. Wine was good, food was nice but the best part was the service by Ina, who made us laugh, relax and feel very welcomed.

(Translated by Google) Cozy restaurant with tasty tapas! (Original) Gezellig restaurant met lekkere tapas!

(Translated by Google) Here, in my opinion, there are the best tapas from Cologne. Not been here in a long time, it was a delicious evening. And get a cookie without a reservation. (Original) Hier gibt es meiner Meinung nach die Besten Tapas von Köln. Schon lange nicht mehr hier gewesen, es war ein köstlicher Abend. Und ohne Reservierung noch ein Plätzchen bekommen.

(Translated by Google) The place is simple but very good service and a great breakfast. (Original) O lugar é simples mas muito bom atendimento e uma ótimo café da manhã.

(Translated by Google) Tastes okay Price-performance ratio bad Service- what service ??? (Original) Geschmacklich okay Preis-Leistungsverhältnis schlecht Service- welcher Service???

Good food and wines

(Translated by Google) Friendly staff. It would have been nice to have a little more attention. Tapas were ok, but unfortunately not special. (Original) Freundliches Personal. Es etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit wäre schön gewesen. Tapas waren ok, aber leider nicht besonders.

Good food, good service, beautiful place

(Translated by Google) The only plus point: very good aioli. Squid tapas and prawns (completely tasteless, the cheap ones, inflated with water) are drowned in unrefined tomatoes or "curry sauce". Tomato salad largely unseasoned and bland. Service also very expandable. Too bad. (Original) Einziger Pluspunkt: sehr gute Aioli. Tintenfisch Tapas sowie Gambas (komplett geschmacklos, die günstigen, mit wasser aufgepumpten) werden in wenig raffinierter Tomaten bzw “Currysauce“ ertränkt. Tomatensalat weitgehend ungewürzt und fad. Service auch sehr ausbaufähig.Schade.
