German restaurants in North Rhine Westphalia

  1. A

    Fischermann's

    This perennial favourite has minimalist décor, all the better so as not to distract you from the delicious crossover cuisine mixing German, Mediterranean and Asian flavours. Regulars often treat the place as a launch pad for a night on the razzle. Nice terrace in summer.

    Zum Schiffchen

    History pours from every nook and cranny in this almost ridiculously cosy Altstadt restaurant specialising in gut-busting German and Rhenish meals. Were portions as huge when Napoleon dropped by a couple of centuries ago? Reservations recommended.

    Am Knipp

    Hungry grazers have stopped by this traditional inn since 1698 and you too will have a fine time spiking your cholesterol level with the hearty German cuisine served amid a flea market's worth of knick-knacks. Lovely beer garden as well.

  4. Harmonie

    The well- prepared comfort food - pizza, pasta, salads and meaty mains like schnitzel and pork chops - has vaulted this low-key pub to the top of many a local's fave list. In fine weather, the beer garden tables are the most coveted.

    Curry

    In this vibrant little kitchen, sausage is king. Get them big, spicy, hot and paired with your choice of gourmet sauce and possibly a mountain of fresh French fries. Avoid the lunchtime rush from the adjacent Media Harbour.

    Gaststätte Postwagen

    This place, tacked onto the town hall, oozes olde-worlde flair from every nook and cranny and is a good place for classic German meals. The downstairs is made to look like an 18th-century postal coach (hence the name).

    Zum Gequetschten

    This traditional restaurant-pub is festooned with eye-catching blue tiles and is one of the most storied inns in town. The menu is back-to-basics German, all delicious and served in belt-loosening portions.

    Libanon Express

    A great way to prepare the stomach for an extended pub crawl is by filling up on superb falafel sandwiches at Libanon Express.

    Raum.eins

    The chef puts substance over culinary pyrotechnics at this perennial favourite with an interesting tapas menu for grazers and meaty French-inflected mains for seriously growling tummies. There's a nice terrace, too.

    Püree

    A godsend for budget gourmets, the second - but by no means secondary - restaurant of the Hotel Résidence presents tummy tantalisers that you'll remember long after the bill's been paid.
