Breath-taking atmosphere but rather on the expensive side: Restaurant Phoenix (26. November 2018)
Despite the fact that I’m quite often in the Dreischeibenhaus, I have never been to the Restaurant Phoenix so far, so it was about time to visit it. I went for the “creamy spinach risotto with an Onsen egg, 36 months matured Parmigiano Reggiano and Alba truffle” (EUR 32.00) which was absolutely delicious. The only […]
Still a solid lunch offering: Restaurant *hirschchen (20. November 2018)
The *hirschchen is always a solid option for a quick lunch. Today I went for the “pumpkin cream soup with pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin seeds” (EUR 4.90). The soup lacked a bit of salt but was otherwise tasty and quite a portion for a starter but not as extremely big as German starters often […]
Absolutely amazing do it yourself tatar: Restaurant Robert’s Bistro (19. November 2018)
It is a couple of weeks back since I’ve been to the Restaurant Robert’s Bistro and I was of the opinion that it was about time to pay it another visit. Again, the place was absolutely crowded (and keep in mind, it was a Monday evening) but they still somehow managed to provide us with […]
Delicious fegato in a functional atmosphere: Restaurant Casa Palmieri (19. November 2018)
While the daily lunch offering wasn’t exactly cheap, the “fegato alla Veneziana” (EUR 22.50) was actually quite delicious. You wouldn’t get many small pieces of liver but rather a couple of big ones. And they were smooth and tender. Especially in combination with the onions and the sauce, they really presented a delicious combination of […]
Swift lunch offering with decent food: Restaurant *hirschchen (8. November 2018)
The *hirschchen is a safe bet for a swift and simple lunch. And it is worth visiting on a Thursday as Thursday is schnitzel day! What usually costs around EUR 13.00 – EUR 14.00 is available for only EUR 8.90 on Thursdays – “breaded pork schnitzel with pepper sauce and French fries” (EUR 8.90). At […]
Weak starter, lovely main dish: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (7. November 2018)
Once more I ended up in the DOX trying to get something off the menu I haven’t tried yet, so I went for the “caesar salad (parmesan, bacon, croûtons)” (EUR 12.00) which was mainly sauce. I mean, the ingredients were there as promised but if you look at it in a bit more detail, it […]
Good but on the pricier side: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (6. November 2018)
Somehow I end up quite frequently in the DOX these days – and that is besides the nice atmosphere and friendly service due to the quality of the dishes as well. The “sushi variation DOX (5 sashimi, 5 nigiri, 8 inside out)” (EUR 36.00) offers a nice selection of different little sushi type snacks. And […]
Swift lunch but limited food quality: Restaurant Da Nando (6. November 2018)
What I like about the Da Nando is the speed of the service – within a few minutes you’re served your “Insalata Caprese” (EUR 7.00) which was – despite the fact that it is not really the season for tomatoes – quite delicious. The “pizza salami with anchovies” (EUR 7.00) on the other hand wasn’t […]
