The Carlsplatz market is the oldest operating market in Düsseldorf and is named after Elector Karl…read moreTheodor (1724-1799). When the Carlstadt district was laid out in the second half of the 18th century, this square was part of the plan. It was originally a parade ground for the French garrison during the French occupation of Düsseldorf in 1797. The Prussians also used Carlsplatz around the middle of the 19th century to exercise for their soldiers who were stationed in the barracks on Kasernenstrasse. In 1997, a group of traders was formed and they lease the square from the city and run the market themselves. The glass roof was added in 1998 and the glass pavilions in 2002. The market is held here six days a week and consists of some 60 traders with food, produce, meat, fish, bakery goods, fresh flowers and other trade goods. It should definitely be high on your list of stops when you visit Düsseldorf! [Review 16357 overall - 164 in Germany - 1864 of 2021.]

This is a really cool farmers market with tons of food stories. The variety is great as there is…read moretons of produce, specialized meats, poultry, fish shops as well as cheese and jams, oils, etc. my fave has to be the potato shop and regret not taking a picture cause wasn't aware there were so many varieties of potatoes! I also liked that so many of the stores also had lots of free samples that let you try and taste before buying. So this is not just a produce market, there are also a variety of food stalls - from Germany bratwurst to Italian and Indian - something for everyone! Would suggest shopping around tho' as prices vary tons. BTW, I visited on a Saturday and then came back again on Sunday, but it was closed, so be aware of that. When in Düsseldorf, absolutely recommend checking this place out! Yelp 239/ 2018

Delicous food here! It has amazing sausges, lettuce, drinks etc. I love the customer service and…read moresuch details. On vacation it was wonderful to stay in Düsseldorf and explore different foods. It was confusing, but I could read it fine. Great if you stay at a hotel with a kitchenette and need/ want to cook your own food.

There's a little pizzeria attached, accessible from the riverfront with a sign that says "Pizza 2…read moreGo" and it's fantastic. For 5€ you get a small pizza that is somewhere between football pizza and a thicker neopolitan pizza. The crust is perfect and the pizza takes a while since the dough is fresh and chewier but it is well worth it. Be warned though, unlike many other places selling mini pizza the menu is handwritten and very difficult to read, especially if you don't know German and need to use google translate. Also prepare for them to not speak any English, which despite 12 days of travel in Northwestern Europe this was the first encounter Like that so far. May even head back here for a dinner pizza tonight!

A nice little market near Barbarossaplatz in Oberkassel…read more Fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, bread and fish. There is also a Mediterranean kiosk with olives, feta, etc. Only three stars because it is small. All products are usually good quality.
