  5. Im Füchschen

    Noisy, cavernous, packed - the Füchschen (which translates as 'Little Fox') is all you expect a Rhenish beer hall to be. They make a mean Schweinshaxe (roast pork leg) but there's plenty of less challenging fare on the menu as well.

  13. Zum Schiffchen

    This is similar to En de Canon but has the distinction of being Düsseldorf's oldest restaurant ('since 1628'). One wonders if the portions were as huge when Napoleon or Heinrich Heine dropped by a few centuries back.
