The Tante Anna is located conveniently in the historic center (Altsstadt) of Düsseldorf. It is…read moresituated in a historic building and has a long tradition in Düsseldorf. It underwent a extensive renovation last year and only opened recently again for business. The setting is very traditional with a lot of antique decor, making a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Service here is impeccable. Front of house Tobias Ludowigs and his team make every effort to make the guest feel special and well taken care of. As you can imagine the wine list is extensive covering all parts of the world but concentrating on Germany and France. The list of different Riesling is out of the world, I have never seen such an incredible choice. Even smaller vineyards are listed and you can find some rare vintages which are hard to get. The choice of German pintos (Spätburgunder) is extensive as well, all the big guns are on the offering. If you like French wines, don´t go elsewhere. They offer some of the best Bordeaux in the world and still have some older vintages. Best of all is that their wines in general are good value for money and you will sure find a wine that suits your budget. If you need help with your selection ask the sommelier Tobias Ludowigs. He's like a living wine encyclopedia and can tell you anything about the wines on his list. Food wise they have 3 different menu, a tasting, a German and vegetarian one. All include an appetizer, soup, sherbet, main and desert. You can skip the soup if you want, you can interchange courses from the different menu, they are really flexible here. Simon Nauels and his kitchen team do an excellent job. The food is well presented, portions are not too small, everything is delicate and done to perfection. It is always a great experience coming here. For me the Tante Anna has michelin star potential. It is inexpensive in comparison to other restaurants of this quality.

The selection and quality of food matched by peerless service from staff who seem to speak several languages would put many Michelen 3*s in France to the test. Consult the sommelier about some of the fine German wines (not your usul Blue Nun!!) I had a great red from the Pfalz and it was truly memorable I love Dusseldorf Altstadt and its' brewery pubs but I will always try to have 1 night here as well

In a city of restaurants serving either a) sub-par Italian or b) heavy German food, Oktopussy is a…read morebeacon of light. Seriously guys, this is the best restaurant in Düsseldorf. To be fair, I get the same thing every time - the salmon and potatoes. But it is so good I can't bring myself to order anything else. My husband gets something different every time and has been really happy with every meal. The ambiance both inside and outside is perfect for a leisurely dinner with friends or a romantic date. Bonus points: the staff is incredibly friendly and really good with the wine suggestions. We almost always go home and order a bottle of whatever we had at Oktopussy because the wine is always spot on. If you ask, they also have English menus available.

Great seafood, a collaborative and epicurean staff, great bartenders. I can't recommend Oktopussy…read morehighly enough. The menu changes, but only to keep up with seasonal ingredients and palate. I wish they had more space to accommodate a larger crowd, I took a 9:00 PM dinner reservation but it was well worth the wait. Seafood seems to be their specialty, but I saw an amazing goose plate leaving the kitchen. If you're a foodie, I strongly recommend you treat yo self and visit Oktopussy if you are in Dusseldorf. It's not on the top restaurants list for nothing!

Will definitely be coming back next time I am in DUS. Excellent food, great wine, and very kind and…read morefriendly staff. Highly recommend.

We shared the "gratinated goat cheese" salad to start, which was delicious. I had "Pasta summer truffle" as a main course, which was really great - it's garnished with freshly grated truffle table-side. My husband had the "Königsberger Klopse," which is apparently a very typical German dish. He liked it but was expecting something more unique and flavorful. We had a few Weihenstephan Hefeweizen with the meal. The menu is in German but our server spoke fluent English and patiently translated the entire menu for us. She was very friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's a nice departure if you're tired of heavy German dishes of meat and potatoes.
