Recommendations from our concierge team: 12 restaurants and bars in Karlstadt, the Old Town and nearby, from brewhouse to fine dining, chosen for our guests.

We are asked the same question every day: where do you eat yourselves? Here is the honest list.

Karlstadt (near the hotel, 0 to 5 minutes)

  • Trattoria Eckart — Italian, small, honest. Booking matters.
  • Maranellos on Bilker Allee — vegetarian and vegan, and genuinely good.
  • Café Bilk — a relaxed breakfast, for those who sleep in.
  • Liebevoll Bar — a concept bar with house-made lemonade.

Old Town (8 to 10 minutes on foot)

  • Brauerei zum Schiffchen — Altbier since 1628, a Düsseldorf classic.
  • Uerige — also a classic, always full, always good.
  • Yabase on Immermannstraße — Japanese, the best bento in the city.
  • Berens am Kai — star cuisine, book four weeks ahead.

MedienHafen and Königsallee (10 to 15 minutes)

  • Lido in the MedienHafen — Italian, on the water.
  • PEBBLE'S at the Hyatt — cocktails and sundowners.
  • Phoenix in the Sevens — pan-Asian, design-minded.
  • Anything Goes Café — brunch in a side street off Königsallee.
