I hesitate to write this review cuz this is a very unique place and I hate to ruin it for locals…read more But since I am from Milwaukee and I want to support local businesses, here you go: I loved this place!
It's hard to find and I only stumbled on it cuz I was lost on a morning walk. The biergarten is contained deep within a community garden. As a result, I wasn't even sure it would be open to the public. I asked our concierge at the nearby Renaissance hotel about it and she had to research it herself as she didn't know. Once she verified via a web search that the restaurant was open to the public, we wandered over.
It's a simple little biergarten offering delicious, well priced German food. We sat outside on picnic table. Inside there was a bingo game going on. Everyone there seemed to be local residents (probably many having gardens there). Eventually another tourist group wandered in, led by someone who knew about this secret Eden.
What makes this little spot so amazing is that we arrived in Düsseldorf for the Tour de France. Our hotel was crawling with tour employees and fans, all seeking an authentic German experience. And there it was, just a 5 minute walk away from the hotel.
My apologies to locals for spilling the secret. Next time we're in this part of Düsseldorf, we will be back.
Wait staff super friendly. Cash only. Kitchen open until 9 but bar stays open later.
