Description
This busy establishment in the old town is the oldest shellfish restaurant in Dusseldorf. The best time to come is during the mussel season (Nov-Feb) when the restaurant serves up over twenty different mussel variations (EUR 8.70-10.50). The classic dish is mussels auf rheinische art (with onions in a spicy sauce), although the mussels in mustard sauce are also delicious. Non-shellfish eaters are well catered for with a selection of classic German dishes like sauerbraten (braised beef) for EUR 10. There is always a steady flow of altbier on tap for beer drinkers. Fantastic asparagus dishes are served during the asparagus season (Apr-Jun).
