Curb food in Düsseldorf

I've been to the Street Food Festival in Flingern three days in a row to eat my way through everything on offer. Most of it tasted good to very good to me. My personal highlights were the Hawaii five B Burger and the Mr. Beef Hot Dog. The prices are consistently quite high, but the offering is also very extensive and quite unusual. With a bit of luck, you can get the €4 entry fee back with a lucky ticket in the form of a free soft drink. I only found out about the festival by chance through Antenne Düsseldorf, but I will definitely go again next time. A very nice, relaxed atmosphere with a very pleasant crowd and a welcome change from the usual restaurants in the old town. I only gave the ambience 4 stars because you could get more out of the rather cool location to have an even more chilled experience.

It looks rancid, the meat cannot be identified as such, the staff have hygiene deficiencies, anyone who eats there is either blind or blind to smell, otherwise they wouldn't set foot in this so-called restaurant.!!!

McDonald's - who doesn't know it... 😎

A beautiful experience, and I certainly hope to try it.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) I visited McDonald's at Dusseldorf Airport and I want to share my impressions. 1. Location and accessibility It is located in the airport terminal, which makes it convenient for travelers waiting for a flight or arriving in the city. It is easy to find - it is in the arrivals area, and the signs are quite visible. In principle, the idea is good: after a long flight or before landing, you can quickly grab a bite in a familiar and understandable place. But there is a nuance: during rush hours it is very crowded. Queues can be long, and free seats at tables are rare. If you have little time before boarding, waiting for your order can be a problem. 2. Service Here is where the fun begins. In general, the staff works quite quickly, but is clearly overloaded. It is obvious that the employees are trying, but they are clearly understaffed. The cashiers are polite, but not in a hurry, and the kitchen seems to be in a constant rush. In some cases, orders are mixed up or take a long time to prepare, especially if it is not a standard burger, but, for example, a salad or coffee. Orders are issued through self-service terminals, but sometimes they work intermittently. There were cases when the terminal froze, and you had to call an employee, who also could not always quickly solve the problem. 3. Food quality McDonald's is McDonald's, and you should not expect restaurant quality here. But still, the food in the airport branch seems a little worse than in the city restaurants of the chain. Pros: ✔️ Burgers meet McDonald's standards. ✔️ French fries are crispy (if fresh). ✔️ Drinks are served in a good assortment. Cons: ❌ Often the food looks untidy, as if it was put together in a hurry. ❌ Potatoes are sometimes oversalted or, on the contrary, bland. Coffee is average quality, sometimes bitter. I often order a Big Mac - in this branch it was warm, but not hot, the bun was a little dry. Chicken McNuggets were tasty, but the sauce was not the one I ordered. 4. Prices Since this is McDonald's at the airport, the prices here are higher than in the city restaurants of the chain. The difference is not critical, but still noticeable. For example: A Big Mac menu in the city costs about 10 €, and here - 12 €. Cappuccino is 1-2 € more expensive than in other McDonald's. A cheeseburger costs about 3 €, although you can usually find it cheaper. Paying more for the same burgers is not the most pleasant feeling, but for an airport this is standard practice. 5. Cleanliness and atmosphere A difficult question. On the one hand, the restaurant looks modern, clean, and cozy. On the other hand, due to the influx of people, the tables are not always cleared on time, and the trash cans overflow. Pros: ✔️ The design is nice, like in new McDonald's. ✔️ There are charging stations for phones. Cons: ❌ Sometimes they don't clear the tables on time. ❌ It's too noisy during rush hours. If you need to have a quiet snack, this can be a problem here. 6. Speed ​​of service As I already said, this can be difficult. Depending on the time of day, you can get your order in 3 minutes, or you can wait 15-20 minutes, which is a bit much for McDonald's. If you order something non-standard, for example, coffee with plant milk or a burger without sauce, the likelihood of a delay increases. 7. Airport Alternatives If you're not a McDonald's fan, there are other options at Düsseldorf Airport: Bäckerei Kamps – delicious sandwiches and pastries. Marché Mövenpick – better quality food, but more expensive. Starbucks – for those who want coffee and dessert. McDonald's is still a good option if you want a quick and predictable snack, but sometimes the wait can be longer than you'd like. 8. Overall Rating Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Prices: 2/5 Speed: 3/5 Overall Rating: 3/5 McDonald's at Düsseldorf Airport is a good option, but far from ideal. If you're short on time, you risk getting stuck in line. If you want to enjoy your food, it's better to look for an alternative. But if you want a standard burger without any surprises, this is it.
