Unsere Philosophie: Essen wie Gott in Frankreich Die Fabel "La Cigale et La Fourmi" von Jean de la Fontaine war Namensgeber für unser Restaurant und bildet eine Parabel zu unserer Philosophie. Während die Ameise - la Fourmi den ganzen Tag schuftet, genießt die Grille - la Cigale mit zirpendem Freudengesang lustvoll das Leben. Mit dieser weisen Botschaft der Grille wird die emsige Ameise erinnert: Wir leben nicht, um zu arbeiten; wir arbeiten, um zu leben! Wir möchten unseren Gästen einen Ort der Lebensfreude bieten. Es ist wichtig, Ihnen den Raum zum Abschalten vom geschäftigen Alltag zu geben. Ganz gleich ob Sie uns mittags oder abends besuchen, ob Sie auf unserer Terrasse oder im Ambiente unseres Restaurants speisen möchten - wir freuen uns über Ihren Besuch. Mittagstische werden von Montag bis Freitag ab 13,50€ (inkl. Espresso und Glaswein) angeboten. Das Restaurant wird u.a. von Gault&Millau, Feinschmecker und Römers Gastro Führer empfohlen.

We were greeted immediately upon entering around 8pm on a Wednesday and though the shopping area around us was deserted, this place was absolutely bustling. Our party of 3 was offered a high top table at the bar as none of the regular tables were available. This suited us perfectly! We were offered English and German menus, which was nice as it's always great fun to attempt to figure out what's what. Our first waiter (perhaps the manager?) was full of personality and took great care to help us pronounce the names of some of the dishes. He also recommended our excellent appetizer! Another waitress took his place later in the meal, so I assume she was on break when we were seated. She also provided super friendly and polite service. I had the roasted goose, and it was simply divine. Beautifully rendered skin, not chewy, tons of flavor. This came with a heaping pile of vinegary red cabbage and kartoffelkloesse (soft potato dumpling, which I actually don't care for that much but these were okay). The fresh Pils on tap (Bitburger, of course) was clean and crisp, and the ambience was cozy and comfortable. Everyone was quite satisfied with their meals, though in classic German style the portions were enormous. The bill came out to about 100€ total for three diners, which felt about right to me. I was super happy with this place!

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!
