Great taste Good service…read moreBut I think it's a little overpriced. I would still recommend it:)

Everything about this place is well done - Malinas knows what it's doing!…read more I went here for a birthday dinner and it was a great choice, from the food to the ambiance to the service. Malinas specializes in Silesian food, which is a specific part of Poland with lots of German influence. The concept is on the higher end, so be prepared to spend 20 EUR per person. I hardly ever see this kind of food in a fancier atmosphere, so the price is justified. I had to try their homemade pierogi and went with the Maria (14.90 EUR): Pierogi stuffed with goat cheese, basil, arugula, homemade walnut pesto, topped with peanuts, walnuts and garlic butter asparagus. Um, my mouth is watering just writing these ingredients! Each bite had a delicious combo of chewy dumpling, cheesy filling and crunchy nuts. It's a modern take on piergoi, but still incredibly satisfying and tasty. I also had a bite of the more traditional meat piregoi (Mama Eugenia, 11.90 EUR) and these were excellent too. For drinks, you have to go with Tyskie (4 EUR for .50 L), the best beer from the Silesia region. They also have a cocktail menu that looked quite good. For something non-alcoholic, they have a special drink menu with fancy fruit drinks. I went with the Rhubarb Strawberry soda with fresh mint & strawberry (3.30 EUR), YUM. Besides the good food, the interior is super cool. It's definitely young but still a place that families can enjoy. The servers were nice too, more smiles & chattiness than the norm for sure. Lovely experience overall and a wonderful place to celebrate / take guests / go randomly to fill up on fancy pierogi!

The chef and staff came to chat with us and it was so lovely learning more about the restaurant and the area. Lovely place for dinner or lunch. (and dessert was amazing!)

The Brauerei zum Schiffchen is a real institution in the Düsseldorf food scene, with a long…read morehistory. It's located in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town) and its decor reflects its glorious and long past. Over the years, it has become more and more touristic but it's also still a place loved by many locals. They serve a lot of local beers, in particular the bitter, dark Alt which is typical from this area. Their menu offers a lot of dishes from the regional German cuisine including the renowned Rheinischer Sauerbraten (roast beef), Mettfleish (raw pork) and a lot of various wurst (sausages). The service is fast and prices are fair. It can get quite packed so it's always good to book well in advance.

Our last meal in Düsseldorf was at Brauerei zum Schiffchen. They're located in the old part of…read moretown. We dropped in on a Monday (around 12:30pm). The weather was a bit dreary so everyone was sitting inside for once. Our server spoke perfect English but he was a bit rough around the edges. This was the only restaurant we went to where English was already on the menu. The menu consisted of starters & soups, house specialties, fish and dessert. There also was a seasonal sheet and a few daily specials including a business set menu (€15,50). - Alsterwasser (€3,20 for 0.30L) - light beer with lemonade. This was a mix of pilsner with a splash of lemonade. - Himmel & ähd (€12,50) - blutwurst (fried black pudding), mashed potatoes, fried onions and stewed apples. Not sure why but their fried onions don't come hot nor crispy. The blutwurst was interesting; lightly crisped and the filling was tasty. Mashed potatoes were buttery. - Metzgers leibgericht (€14,50) - three sausages (mettwurst, thüringer art bratwurst and krakauer) with sauerkraut and homemade mashed potatoes. Mettwurst was a thicker, meatier, minced pork sausage. Krakauer (similar to a a Polish kielbasa) was slightly salty but had a good bite. Bratwurst was our favourite of the bunch; easily the tastiest and most flavourful. Sauerkraut was hot and well balanced in acidity. Mashed potatoes were the same (wish they would let you choose other sides to try). An enjoyable last German meal (and for once, not too heavy). 3.5 stars.
