This was the second place I visited while I was in Düsseldorf. The waitress was amazing and she was…read morevery sweet when it came to helping me with my German. She continuously checked in on the table and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant itself was lovely. There was really no one else in the restaurant, so I cannot comment on the normal atmosphere. It was very clean and bright. My biggest complaint, and it really isn't just this restaurant, comes from the amount of flies I had to fend off. As for the food, it was tasty. I started with fish soup, which was deliciously salty. For my entree I had ceviche, which I have never had so I tried it out. It was delicious, however the sweetness and the coconut flavor overwhelmed me toward the end and I wasn't able to finish it! I was able to have their apple tart for a dessert and loved it. The tart was soft and applely. No complaints there. Overall, it was a lively experience!

Cute pub right by the river. Yes, it's in the middle of the tourist trail through Old Town, but…read moresomehow the food and service made it seem a world away. I had the herring sample plate, don't remember the exact name, but it was something like Köln Sushi. In any case, it was herring served in a bout 6 different ways and I loved every one of them. This dish is for true lovers of those delightful little fish. They were smoked, marinated, raw, with beets in a salad, grilled, and so on. Everything was so fresh and tasty. I finished it all, something I seldom do. This was the best meal I had in Cologne, and I'd go back for more. That's saying a lot too, as I almost always prefer trying somewhere new. The riverside setting is great for people watching, and for us it was a great place to duck out of the rain for a Kölsch before we decided to stay and dine.

A rude person seriously ruins your day. Before my dinner here I enjoyed my exploration and loved…read morethe city vibe. The service was good, the waitress and an owner-looking guy were both responsive and polite. However after I paid my bill, an older owner-looking guy stopped me from heading out and asked me to take my bottle with me. I bought a bottle of still water earlier, and finished it during dinner so I left the empty bottlethere. I was embarrassed at first thinking I had to take care of the plates and trash, until the old guy speaking to me with a condescending tone: German people come to a restaurant, order food and drink, they don't drink from their own. You take it with you unless it isn't yours. I simply don't understand the logic that if I have my water already, why do I have to order the unnecessaries from you? Plus, if you can't handle the culture diversity probably you shouldn't do catering on the most international corner in Köln. I welcome any German friend to enlighten me on this. Food wise it was average, I ordered tapas which had no seafood, so probably that was not their specialty.

This is a seafood restaurant in the heart of old town Düsseldorf. I ordered grill squids and I…read moredidn't like how it was cooked,too many oil was used and as a outcome the squids were so greedy and the taste was not delicious Service good,free basket of bread with butter,unfortunately no wi-fi Last time I had octopus here and it was delicious If you like seafood you should visit this restaurant Clean restroom

I'm surprised about the many low star reviews. Trip advisor tells a different story…read more This place has been around and I have been here numerous times and never had a bad experience. As a matter of fact I look forward to stop here each time we're in town. My wife and I made friends with Mario the owner a while ago...can't say that it has had any influence on our dining experiences. Their wines are not overpriced and well selected for their dishes. My favorite is their grilled octopus with with roasted potatoes and paprika spices...A very authentic Spanish dish and delicious. When in season their Matjes fish dishes with westfalian black bread are great too and can be a good appetizer to share. If the weather allows, outdoor dining is fun if not too crowded. There are not many alternatives for Fish-Houses in Germany that have such a variety. Of course, if there are large exhibitions in Dusseldorf places like this get overwhelmed and should be avoided.

To be fair, I get the same thing every time - the salmon and potatoes. But it is so good I can't bring myself to order anything else. My husband gets something different every time and has been really happy with every meal. The ambiance both inside and outside is perfect for a leisurely dinner with friends or a romantic date. Bonus points: the staff is incredibly friendly and really good with the wine suggestions. We almost always go home and order a bottle of whatever we had at Oktopussy because the wine is always spot on. If you ask, they also have English menus available.

I wish they had more space to accommodate a larger crowd, I took a 9:00 PM dinner reservation but it was well worth the wait. Seafood seems to be their specialty, but I saw an amazing goose plate leaving the kitchen. If you're a foodie, I strongly recommend you treat yo self and visit Oktopussy if you are in Dusseldorf. It's not on the top restaurants list for nothing!

I was dining alone, but you would have thought I was the most important guest they had this evening. Just a block from the Rhine, but tucked away, it's unlikely that anyone will stumble on this place, which is a shame. They were busy this evening with a few groups and a few tables of two. I had a soup, filet, and dessert and all were superb. The espresso was strong, the P Brut was chilled and fabulous, and the staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive. If you find yourself in Düsseldorf, find your way to Da Clà.
