2.5 stars This cafe…read moreis ALWAYS buzzing. Up to the point that it is too much for my taste. Getting a table here is a game of luck as the staff doesn't care if you are standing in the entrance waiting - they are too busy dealing with the existing patrons. Once you snatch a seat though, they are quite attentive and your order comes out quickly. We have been here on several occasions for a coffee in the afternoon, but we also took my husband's parents here for the breakfast buffet. The buffet is nice, but on the smaller side. This causes long lineups and they run frequently out of items like scrambled eggs, cold cuts and yogurt. They refill, but you have to wait. Orange juice is included in the price, but coffee, tea, etc. is not. I find the seating options a bit cramped. If you are standing in line or have to wait for something, you can't help but be in the way of the waiters or other customers who trying to get by.

This place is in the Centro Mall, and has quite a varied menu for Germany. What was especially nice…read moreto see was that had a number of vegetarian options and made those choices clear on the menu. Anyone who has traveled to Germany knows that this is not easy to find in this country. The food is good and the place is clean. I especially liked the bathroom attendant dressed like a doctor! LOL

Been here a couple times already. Nice place to go for a drink after work. It's always busy and…read moregood for people watching :) Great location near Centro Shopping Mall with outdoor seating so you can enjoy the sun. The drinks were good, a little on the pricey side, but still not too expensive. The flatbread was tasty and in comparison to the drinks it was pretty cheap. I also tried the vanilla passion fruit ice cream cup and it was really good! Would def go back again.

One of the few places with some atmosphere in this dull town. Friendly service. Good place to watch…read morepeople going by.

This bar/restaurant does a lot of pub grub - think curries (but German style so not traditional in…read moreanyway!), schnitzel, and everything with carbs! Seriously my casear salad (I was trying to be healthy!) came with so many croutons and a side of garlic bread, this was after I'd ordered 'pizza bread' for starters, well this was just a mis translation on the menu - I got plain ciabatta rolls and a garlic mayo.This restaurant is giving those of South America a run for their money on the triple carbs for dinner! For my vegetarian friend its tricky to find things to eat in Germany, so he appreciated being able to try mushroom quesadillas and a sweet potato and chickpea curry (served with rice and naan - to ensure that carb content is kept up!). For me trying to be healthy it was too much gimmicky 'pup grub' not quite Whetherspoons in the UK and not quite American Tex-Mex. I would definitely recommend sticking to the steak, however they didn't do a great job cooking that as required, but I would blame our lack of German, rather than an issue in the kitchen for this, the actual meat was tasty and comes either with a salad, chips or huge baked potato with sour cream. On the drinks, they serve a selection of the local beers and those from further afield. They try with a cocktail menu, but the one 'mocktail' I tried was pretty hideous (avoid the cucumber syrup in anything!) This restaurant is in central Dusseldorf and is quick and cheap for dinner, just don't have high expectations. It seems to be open all day and has a nice terrace area if the weather is nice. They have also been showing the football here - so I assume they will be showing major sporting events this summer, however the screens are not there all the time. In fact it seems people come to use Alex as a coffee shop / laptop hangout with its free wifi - I spotted a few people working on a mid week night.

We ate here 5-6 times during a week stay in Dusseldorf as it was right across the street from our…read morehotel (the Leonardo). They have a daily breakfast buffet in addition to an a la carte menu. The food is above average and for any American tourist, the breakfast buffet offers a lot of familiar foods plus the opportunity to try some German specialties. There is a cereals/pastry/breads section with fresh-baked goods, yogurt and homemade jams. I appreciate the wide assortment of savory foods as I'm not a sweet breakfast person: hot foods might include eggs, bacon, sausage, soups, curry while cold foods include deli meats, salads, smoked trout, lox. The buffet comes with orange juice and is reasonably priced at 13 euros (our hotel was asking 25 euros for a breakfast buffet). They have both outdoor and indoor seating areas, which are both very nice and comfortable for lounging and lingering.
