This is a seafood restaurant in the heart of old town Düsseldorf. I ordered grill squids and I didn'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 read more

I'm surprised about the many low star reviews. Trip advisor tells a different story. 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. read more

We went to Fischhaus for lunch. The restaurant has very nice outdoor seating. Overall the restaurant is on the pricier side, which is fine because of the quality of the fish. We ordered Loup de Mar. I can highly recommend this dish is was amazing. Fish was very tender and buttery, also the side dishes with potatoes and spinach were good. Especially the spinach tasted amazing! Highly recommend this meal. Second dish was grilled squid - I would not order this again. I was disappointed. It was ok but not at the price point of 16€. It was served with a side salad which also included potato salad, both salads were ok but the squid was somewhat cold and also overcooked. I would come here again but not eating squid. Wine also was great! read more

We decided to go for dinner in downtown and wandered the streets looking for a nice restaurant and came upon the Fischhaus. You can't go wrong when you see whole fish on ice and a packed restaurant. We all really enjoyed our meals of salad, pasta and seafood, salmon and mushroom risotto and halibut. Great and friendly service and a fun atmosphere. I would recommend it if you are Dusseldorf. read more

Wow, what a disappointment. Is this best that Dusseldorf has to offer? This place was highly recommended by our hotel and it was packed both nights we walked by. Walking by is what we should have done. Horribly slow service on the famous patio. Ahmed, our server, was completely invisible. We waited and waited for him to show up. Waited for the drinks, waited to order, waited for the food while others around us were getting the gold treatment. The hot bread was the highlight of the evening, but it was all downhill from there. The oysters were terribly salty. All of the entrees were so over salted they were inedible. We all left huge portions on our plates. The fish cuts were all good but the sauces and seasonings were way over done. The vegetables were boiled to a dull grey color. Everything in this town is served with boiled potatoes. I opted for the pasta instead. Too bad, over salted. There was a huge line but we sat and sat and waited for the server all night long. We finally got the check after asking four times. Then, and only then did the waiter show a pulse. He literally grabbed the pen from the hand of my buddy claiming he needed it to write up someone else's order. Avoid the tourist trap. read more

Located right on the main pedestrian strip in the Altstadt, this was a bustling restaurant and appeared like it could be a tourist trap. However, it turned out to be a good experience. Communication was easy. Ordered a salad, but it came with the entrees, which made for a very crowded little table (we sat outside). One entrée was the octopus a la plancha, which was fairly good and nicely seasoned. The other was grilled Scottish salmon over mushroom risotto; it was a nicely crisped piece of fish and satisfying dish. The restaurant was bustling on a Sunday night, but started to die down quickly with the light. Not expensive and a good value read more

Clean and well located (middle of Altstadt) restaurant with really self-explanatory name. Although I ate Crayfish, which some may quibble over being "fisch" ;-) Prices reasonable, service good, English spoken. read more

Very good food and service! Been there a couple of times now and always satisfied! "Muscheln nach Fischhausart" are definitely worth trying! The same goes for the french fish soup, which is incredibly tasty. Portions are well served and main dishes cost 17-30€. read more

Great seafood selection atmosphere was fantastic. Very welcoming. Great food. The only turnoff is that this place is staffed by some Indians who are hustlers and suggested that he make a custom menu for me only for 50EUR but when I looked closely at the menu the combinations he suggesting I could have ordered each separately and still save monies. Now I've been to Germany many time and many cities. Germans are honest people sometimes too honest. These new immigrants are NOT! Sad because I'm An immigrants read more

Great seafood place in middle of downtown... The place specialises in fish and seafood and offers wide variety of dishes. Prices are all so reasonable... Most dishes are between 10 - 20 euros. I had a groups dinner with wide selection of dishes. Cold starter mix had marinated octopus, shrimp and vegetables with cooked prawns. All tastes very lovely. Grilled baby calamari was great, perfectly cooked. Grilled prawns and gam as in olive oil were both great. For mains, I had grilled Dover sole which came actually pan fried - it tasted great - being one of the most pricey dish with 28 euros, I still found it quite good value. I saw mixed fish grill which had salmon and a few small white fish, tuna steak which looked okay.. And grilled prawns with curry sauce which looked lovely Overall, it is not the most charming restaurant, variety and quality of seafood are both excellent at great price point.. Definitely would try. read more

FISH ON FRIDAY Upon the conclusion of our boat trip on the Rhine, our gracious hosts mentioned the topic of dinner, which certainly did not seem to be contraindicated. We had, after all, just alighted from a vessel at the Altstadt, which offers a host of possibilities. Fish?, my friend mentioned. Prevaricating somewhat, I gave the matter some consideration. I have eaten wonderful fish in Germany, albeit always close to where it came from. From sea bass and oysters in Hamburg - to amazing seafood on the Baltic and North Sea coasts - to fresh trout in the Black Forest. What fish did they have to offer in Northrhine Westphalia? Hopefully nothing out of the Rhine, I thought. Intrigued (and with a little reservation) we agreed to give it a try. Just a couple of minutes later we turned into the bustling lanes of the Altstadt and soon noticed that one of the places seemed to stand out by the roaring trade it was doing (it was, after all Friday evening). Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype/a9841ad5.jpg A little sceptical about even finding a table, we were soon swooped up by one of the waitresses and deposited at one of the few free tables. The service was outstandingly swift and friendly. Plenty of calls of Are you being served? Indeed they were charging around like a swarm of sharks who had just smelled blood and it's been a while since I observed restaurant staff really running around at speed; quickly and efficiently. Inside, the walls are tiled/marbled in a nice fishy and hygienic sort of way. The kitchen is semi-open which means that you can watch them cooking (at the risk of being trampled by enthusiastic staff) and more importantly get a real whiff of stimulate your appetite. If you want to view what you fancy, you will find it displayed on ice. Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype/389929c4.jpg We were rapidly sacramentised with bread (+aïoli) and wine: the civilised act of communion that should always precede religious study of the menu. Our orders were handled with despatch and in what seemed no time at all, our food was ready. La contessa was delighted to get stuck into some 'Maatjes' herrings (not that easy to find in U.K.) and I ordered grilled sardines which tasted fresh and delicious. My friend opted for halibut with a chanterelle mushroom sauce (right in season) and pronounced the dish to be lacking nothing. Why assume that eating fish inland is not the thing? I suppose it's to do with the fact that in many rural regions of Germany, fish restaurants are less easy to find. Dusseldorf ain't rural and if I lived there, this place would see me often. There are quite a few reports on Qype about this establishment. One German Qyper recorded his appreciation of the food there but was seriously upset by once finding a human hair in a dish. Well, I guess it can happen. Another considered the fish to be overfried in old fat. Not in our case. I am also surprised to note that several thought the service unfriendly. Unfriendly? Hectic maybe, but not unfriendly in my opinion. Reverting to the matter of hygiene, permit me to digress nominally. My surreptitious glance was constantly attracted to this fine specimen, Photo link: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd76/Textklick/Qype/08262639.jpg wondering whether it tasted better grilled or finely sliced into carpaccio? Was it some local speciality? An awesome mutation from the Rhine caused by the Swiss pouring in their pharmaceutical waste? Our friends thought that it was something to do with flies. An enquiry with the staff revealed that the water in the bag magnified movement and scared flies off, which was confirmed here: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/348595 I just wonder what these are called? Dipteral Ocular Acceleration Devices? Or just plastic bags? Suggestions welcomed. 4 stars. Not outstanding, but very, very good. read more

I don't often write reviews.... only when I am moved by an exceptional experience. In this case, an exceptionally terrible one. I am accustomed to varying expectations when dining in Europe vs. Western establishments. However, this dining experience was well beyond different cultural practices. To begin, my group was seated, settled and already eating our bread when we were unceremoniously asked to get up and carry our belongings over to a different table on the other end of the dining room; in order to make room for a larger group. If that weren't embarrassing enough, we were led over to a cramped corner table and had to stand over other patrons while our filthy tables were cleaned off and re-set. The establishment was understandably busy due to a major trade fair in town but it took 10 minutes after our relocation before we were brought menus... which happened to be in German only. The staff knew we were English speaking so we assumed this establishment did not accommodate non-german speaking patrons. But, not to be outdone, Google translate came to the rescue and we had determined our meals. 20 minutes passed and no wait staff had appeared to even take drink orders. Despite our repeated attempts to gain their attention, the staff simply acknowledged us and asked that we continue to wait until "our waiter" was no longer busy with other patrons. This would have been the time to leave, but it was raining outside and we did not relish the task of trying to find another place to eat nearby. A half hour later we were approached to place an order for drinks... and we promptly added our food to the request as well. Drinks took yet another 10minutes and food was slowly brought out to expand this dining experience to nearly 3hrs. Once our food was done, the waiter brought us another menu to suggest coffee and dessert. This was the same menu we had originally seen... only this time it was in ENGLISH! I guess they failed to notice we weren't German up until this point. We decided that we had had enough of this experience and did not want to subject ourselves to further waiting, so we left to find coffee and dessert elsewhere. To make matters worse, the food was only mediocre in my opinion. We had some good grilled baby squid/calamari, and the lobster bisque was decent, but everything else we ordered was definitely not worth the wait. I have eaten all over the world and am probably one of the most accommodating and understanding customers you will find... but the Fischhaus provided me with, what I can only describe as, my worst dining experience in recent memory. I wish I had listened to the other poor reviews, but I was fooled by the appearance of this establishment and how busy it was. Dont waste your time here unless you're local. The German speaking groups around us seemed to have no trouble going through an entire meal while we simply sat and watched them in envy. Highly unprofessional! read more

Best seefood in Dusseldorf!!! Exclusive attention. Fantastic athmosfere, we have been coming here for 20 years!

A great seafood place. Nice food. A bit pricey, but worth it. We found it out by just walking by and it was packed. To us, any packed place means it's usually good, right? So we went in. I got the Grilled Fillet of Salmon Trout. It was really great. The let you have the choice of fish or flavor-y fish with the lemon. The portions were perfect, not to large, not to small. Though to criticize what I wrote, they added a hunk of cooked spinach and a leaf of salad; not my kind of thing. So if you get that, ask to either hold off on the spinach a bit or cut it off all together, only if you do not like spinach. The potatoes were really good; like mama's homemade fries. A great seafood place, a bit pricey, and a tad homely, I recommend this place to you. read more

Bad attitude to the clients. Disrespectful hostess behavior and average food quality.

Although centrally located, my experience at the Fischhaus unfortunately was very poor. Dishes were overpriced and staff was not the most polite. Average appetizers and main courses that did not seem fresh at all. Only positive thing was the wine. read more

Es gibt gemütlichere Restaurants, es war kalt. Der Service war lustlos, aber die Suppen als Vorspeise haben wieder Hoffnung gemacht. Dann warteten und warteten wir auf das Hauptgericht, was scheinbar vergessen worden ist. Der Loup de mer war total trocken und schon vorher verhungert. Deswegen wegen der Suppen noch zwei Sterne .., read more

We go here every year when we attend ProWein. We normally order the grilled sea food platter along with a grilled mixed fish platter along with two large salads. This feeds around 5 people. The seafood is always fresh and it's because this place is always packed. Hey, we have gone back for 5 years in a row so it's got to be good. If you want good sea food with not a lot of fancy glamor then this is your place. read more

I wasn't a fan of Dusseldorf, but this restaurant was one of the best I visited on my European vacation to four different cities. My friends and I were only in Dusseldorf for an overnight layover and we were glad we found this place. We pigged out, ordered a bunch of appetizers and each had a meal as the grand finale to our vacay. I had a pasta dish with lobster and vegetables, it was great. Everyone at the table liked their food. We had three shrimp appetizers (one had little baby shrimp and was kinda creepy) but the other two were great, scallops, salad and mussels. Contrary to the other English review, our server was attentive. read more

Horrific. This place was good once, about 15 years ago, but now it blows. Worst raw oysters I've ever had (6 for 25 euro and not fresh with bits of shell everywhere), poor service, no management accountability (no one ever came by to see how the meal was) and high prices. Avoid this place at all costs. read more
