A sunny outdoor patio offers a nice place to sit, away from the busy streets in the center of town. Stop by in the afternoon for a glass of wine, and take a bottle home from their extensive selection which are beautifully displayed on rustic wooden shelves. Small batch Scotch, gin, and rum round out the selections in the store. You'll also find pasta, vinegars, olive oils and spices. The fine selection of ingredients ties in with the amazing work which is done in the kitchen. Previously available for private parties and cooking classes, Kult & Genuss is now keeping restaurant hours for dinner. Pasta and salads are a specialty, but meats such as veal and seafood are featured as well. Many of the tables are large shared tables, so you may end up making new friends as you dine. Werner, the proprietor, books acoustic music on occasion. These special evenings attract audiences from throughout the area, and offer an intimate setting for enjoying music, wine and conversation. Do not hesitate to stop here if you are in the area!

Our good friend works for Bayer and he took us to this restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere and a…read morewonderful wine list. I drink a lot of kolsch when I visit Koeln, but the wines here were just too good to pass up--and good prices too. I had a steak with a mustard crust--fantastic--but they are well known for their "steak on a stone". Their menu changes often, but everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Come early and take a stroll in the beautiful Japanese garden that is near the restaurant.

Great meal in a great atmosphere. Delicious! Also unexpectedly great at making recommendations…read morefor particular food allergies.

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.

Ok in a city where you can eat good quality food served in generous portions at really not very…read moremuch money this restaurant is expensive, but it is also good value. 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
