Düsseldorf Restaurants — Rhenish Cuisine, Traditional Brews

Düsseldorf restaurants are well-known for their local hearty cuisine and famous Alt beer. Don’t leave town until you have sampled a few of the traditional dishes at one of the city’s popular, crowded and fun-filled restaurant breweries.

Düsseldorf Dishes

Sauerbraten

This famous Rhenish dish includes pickled roast beef with stewed apples. It usually spends a few days marinating in vinegar and other spices before it is ready to serve.

Halver Hahn

While the English name of this meal may bring a smirk to your face (it means “one half of a cock”), this delicious dish will leave you smiling. Made with a dark rye bread, cheese and mustard, this is a traditional tasty treat.

Himmel un Ääd

It means heaven and earth and you might find it difficult to disagree. This traditional dish consists of blood sausage and onions with apple-mashed potatoes.

Äädze Zupp

As hard as it is to speak out aloud, Äädze Zupp is a thick pea soup that is also typical of the local cuisine.

Alt beer

No one can leave Düsseldorf without trying their signature brew. The Altbier is a dark beer that has a pleasant mellow flavor and can be found everywhere in the city.

Düsseldorf’s Old Town, by the way, is jokingly called “the longest bar in the world” for all their pubs and bars offering this local beer.
