French Onion Soup - The soup was solid and seasoned with lots of herbs. They could have used a better cheese, but overall, I'd say it was good. Beef stew - The flavor of the stew was kind of unexpected because it doesn't taste like a traditional beer braised stew. The flavor is similar to sauerbraten, which is a german pot roast with a sweet-vinegary flavor. Prices here are reasonable, especially for their Belgium beers. 5 euros for a 9% belgium triple? I'm in. 4 stars.

The Christmas Market time in Germany is super busy and especially on Friday - Sunday. Schumacher alt is the oldest brewery in Düsseldorf. Established in 1838. Thankfully they have modern and clean restrooms to evacuate all the beer drank there. The ambiance of the place is a lively beer hall. There are picnic tables and banquettes of various sizes. The wait staff are intentionally a little rude. Part of their stick. The beers keep coming until you say stop. You get the house brew in 10 oz. glasses. The waiter makes a mark on a coaster each time he brings a round. When you have had enough be sure to put a coaster on top of your glass, or the beer will keep coming. The food menu is large and only in German. It is a good time to use the photo translation feature on your phone. The food was very good and a LOT! I highly recommend a stop here for an authentic German experience.

We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

Beyond the ultra-convenient location, this pub offers warm hospitality, an extensive drink menu (including zero-proof beers for your N/A pub pleasure), and good prices. It was easy to find vegan and vegetarian options. I was torn between the veggie burger and the vegan shepherds pie, until a shepherd's pie went by on its way to another table, and I was sold. The vegan shepherd's pie is a hearty dish but is not heavy. Made with the classic savory pie veggies (carrots, peas, and onions), this pie is full of flavor. Lentils stand in for the lamb, and there's a bit of tanginess (from something tomatoey, I think). A neutral, pure-white layer of starchy goodness helps ensure that you're able to get every last bit of flavor, and a layer of toasted vegan cheese adds crunch. It was super-satisfying, and I was sad that I couldn't finish it (like I said, generous portions--don't eat a late lunch!). I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This place is popular among students as well as interns at Phillips. Some others and I had a dinner event that we need to hold and decided to have the event here. We were glad we did because they were quite accommodating to our big group of 40 people and it worked out pretty well. I love their green beans. They have 2 (or 3 now) vegetarian options which are both very good, tasty, and filling. I will miss this place! The only warning is that it can get really crowded on Friday and Saturday nights.

This place, is one of the few populated restaurants in the center of Venlo (on a weekday). Going in, there was a homely atmosphere offered with upscale elements. The first floor offered quick and smaller tables to bar patrons, while the second floor invited diners to experience a taste of Venlo. Everything was great - from the full glass of wine that was poured, to the non-intrusive but inquisitive waitress who took care of us, to the cuisine lavishly presented on our tables. But oh boy, the food - I took the gamble, and went with their surprise menu set of three courses for 30 euros. Best decision ever. You explain to the waitress the type of elements you would like (meat, fish, veggie) or any other preferences. I told her I love seafood, and meat (beef preferred). I also told her ice cream was my kryponite. She said depending on what ingredients were available, they would tailor the menu to my requests. WHAT! What chef has time to tailor a course for one table, let alone a single individual. What I received, blew me away. First course - gently seared shrimp and local fish on top of a mixed bed of seaweed salad and peppered seasoned greens. Delicious! Second course consisted of a generous side dish of fries, and a main dish of a chop of pork and two slices of one of the best cooked beef slices I've ever tasted. The cooking technique was perfection, and my knife cut through the beef like butter! Mashed potatoes, sauteed green string beans, and diced cabbage were served as well. For dessert, homemade apple sorbet, with mixed berry yogurt and vanilla cream. WOW. Talk about having a personal chef. This was a great experience, and I highly recommend stopping by here - I know I'll be back!
