The Duchy - Düsseldorf

The restaurant exudes beauty and elegance, perfectly set within a luxurious hotel. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet inviting, making it the kind of place where dressing up feels just right. Service was truly top-notch—the staff were professional, attentive, and ensured I was always well looked after. Dinner was exquisitely presented, fresh, and full of flavor. While on the pricier side, it was absolutely worth it. The Viennese Schnitzel was among the best—if not the best—I’ve ever had, and I’ve dined around the world. The fresh pasta was equally impressive, simple yet bursting with flavor.

I was looking for a place for lunch after shopping, and this spot turned out to be the perfect choice. Impeccable service, an interesting menu, and even a special insert about the sourcing of the products. I had the lobster soup and the Caviar Carbonara — both were absolutely delicious. Bravo!

My trip was brightened by a wonderful visit to this lovely restaurant. I absolutely love the attention to detail — the service was friendly and polite. I was there with my daughter, and it’s very kid-friendly. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Düsseldorf! Thank u!

Not recommend. This was our second time at this restaurant and sadly, the second disappointment. The place looks beautiful, and the service is lovely, but the food? Truly underwhelming, especially for the price. We came with friends and spent around €700, and honestly, the only dish worth mentioning was the tartare. The lobster soup tasted strange, the steak was boiled (yes, boiled — not even grilled), and the dessert had cheap-tasting white chocolate. But the worst part? I ordered a double decaf espresso at 9 PM — and got a regular one. I ended up with a pounding heart and zero sleep that night. It’s a shame, because the vibe is great. But with food like that — I can’t recommend it. Definitely not coming back.

Great place and staff. The guy who served at our table on the evening of 19 April was very lovely and attentive. Unfortunately didn’t get his name. Food was fantastic. Since it’s Asparagus season, i got the asparagus meal with the salmon and everything tasted perfect. Asparagus was juicy and sweet and nothing to fault really. Absolutely stunning 😋

Luxurious and brilliant restaurant. 100% natural organic food.

Amazing atmosphere, excellent food and perfect service ...starting from appetizer each food we had was a delightful journey... i had schnitzel in numerous famous places including figlmüller in vienna but this one was another level... definitely will visit again

Overall, it was a great experience from the time I entered the restaurant until I left. I started with a nice glass of Tattinger Champaign and had the opportunity to chat with "the Duchy," who is the well styled hostess. She explained the ideas and history behind the restaurant theme. It was a nice conversation, and as I was dining alone, welcomed. They start the service by bringing out two types of bread with salted butter. Both breads were nice - potato bread and bread with apple and black pudding (sausage). I selected the steak tartar as my starter. The meat was very good quality, and the mix of ingredients was tasty. For the main course, I chose the beef rib, which was accompanied by a tomato salad. The steak was very well cooked and seasoned - which was a first for me in Germany. For the desert, it was black cherries with a warm chocolate cake and sunflower ice cream. All was good, especially the ice cream. This restaurant is expensive and a bit of an indulgence, but it used local top quality ingredients and was exceptional. I would certainly recommend it.
