My friends and I traveled to Dusseldorf all the way from The Hague in the Netherlands in search of the greatest roast pork and we were not disappointed after traveling for over 3 hours and burning at least Euro 135 in train tickets (round trip). We found this place after walking for about 45 minutes in search of the famed... More

We ate here during an overnight layover from Florence to the states, and wandered through Altstadt (not to be missed!). We ate here on the strength of TA reviews, and were not disappointed. We came in around 7 pm, when Dusseldorf was well into a city-wide happy hour, which this place seems to have turned into an art form. Though... More

We dined here on our one night in Duesseldorf before our flight home the next morning. How this place got its #2 ranking is a bigger mystery than the Loch Ness monster. I am giving this place a 2, and that’s more than it really deserves. I had the schnitzel, and there were 3 choices. I recognized two of the... More

A small place known for pork hocks on the rotisserie. Not all that memorable, but filling, in my view.

I found Schweine Janes highly recommended on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. It's located on Bolkerstrasse, a lively little eating street in the Altstadt. The first thing I noticed after sitting down was all of the different cuts of pork roasting on the rotisserie behind the woman at the bar. That was definitely a good sign and made... More

Looks not that appealing from outside but the quality food speaks for itself. There is a menu or two inside the restaurant in English, simply pick one up - sit anywhere then order. The traditional Pork knuckle with fired sliced potatoes/onions is something else. Go try it - you won't regret it.

They constantly have the Schweinshaxe on the go here and you can eat outside, I prefer the Bratkartofeln, or roast potatoes as the side dish. I come here every time I am in Duesseldorf and you can see them take the Schweinshaxe off the griller and cut it.

This place is a real gem in the mid of the "old city" (Alt stadt). Those guys just know well what they are doing: a very well / tasty / moist / flavorful dishes! The highlight is the roasted meets that are roasted well and seasoned even better :) Really a simple and amazingly good food with no attitude! Friendly... More

Discovered this place because of TripAdvisor, thank you all! To be honest, we were a little intimidated at first because we speak no German and we were unsure of the ordering/seating process. I'm glad we conquered our fear and pushed our way into the crowded doorway, it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant was full with the expection of two... More
