Eating Out in Dusseldorf

Although German food sounds less inspiring than French Cuisine, Dusseldorf has quite a few good places for the hungry traveler. Take Sauerbraten or Sushi, Altbier or Champagne - Düsseldorf’s culinary delights are as international as the people living here. At the top of the list of regional delicacies is Rhenish Sauerbraten, pickled roast beef, where the stewed apple accompanying it is not a desert served too soon but a fruity part of the trimmings. Dishes like hot and meaty Blootwosch (Blutwurst) and thick pea soup, known in Düsseldorf as Äädze Zupp, are all traditional fare. So is Halver Hahn, a strong-tasting round cheese with carroway seeds and onion, munched with a Röggelchen - a small ryebread roll - and washed down with a leckeres Dröppke, a nice drop of Alt, the mellow, dark beer still brewed according to the centuries-old top-fermentation method.

And if you happen to find Flönz met Ölk (black pudding with onion rings) or Rievkooke (grated potatoe fritters) on the menu, you are sure to be in one of Düsseldorf’s typical brewery restaurants. Here the waiters are called ‘Köbes’, sporting the typical long blue aprons and exercising a rather earthy type of cordiality. The menus of the metropolis on the Rhine are truly versatile, delicacies from the Near and Far East, Japanese chefs celebrate their art not only for their numerous fellow-countrymen living in Düsseldorf, Pizza and Paella, Tagliatelle and Tapas revive memories of Mediterranean holidays.

The Altstadt in particular, with its almost 260 restaurants, is ready to treat you to delicacies from all over the world. However, do follow the gourmets’ trails through the other parts of the city, too.

Zucchero

We eat here on our last night staying at Hotel Renaissance Marriott Dusseldorf, which is 3 minutes walk away. What a pity we would have come here several times. Real Italian food cooked by a team of genuine Italian chefs! You know the food is going to be good when you see members of the Italian community & their children present!

Don't be put off by the simple decor of the restaurant. Look to the trendy bar and the open kitchen where you can see your dinner being prepared!

We both had the same meal : Spagetti scoglia-which was spaghetti with a variety of more..

Meyer & Freemann

It`s a cosy Restaurant in the landscape around Düsseldorf. It`s worth to go for a short trip. In leger atmosphere you can have great meals of good quality. They serve a variety of international dishes, traditional German as well as modern asian influenced and vegetarian meals. I recommend the different salads. The restaurant is furnished with wooden tables but stylish decorated. Specially in summertime it is nice to sit outside in the "beer garden". They also have special events like Brunch on Sundays.
