Eigelstein in Düsseldorf

Restaurant Eigelstein impresses with simple yet perfectly balanced dishes. The salmon deserves special mention, which was prepared to perfection – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The dish was accompanied by mashed potatoes and carrots and spinach – all with simple ingredients, but masterfully executed. You can tell that the cooking here is done with skill and not frills. A fair price-performance ratio for lunch. The restaurant itself is spacious, but the chairs are more functional than comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The organization for a larger group was also positive: Reservations were straightforward, and the food was served to all guests almost simultaneously – which is not a given with groups. Overall, a very solid and successful experience. I would gladly return.

Absolutely! The food was served quickly and tasted great. The service is excellent, with a very modern ordering and payment system. I recommend reserving a table.

In the Media Harbor. Near the Gerithäuser. Great ambiance, modern and cozy. Good service. Wide selection of drinks, and even Kölsch in Düsseldorf is available. Friendly service, open kitchen (very pleasant). Versatile seating. Inside and outside.

I'm in Düsseldorf about two or three times a month for work, and I go to Eigelstein every time to eat their legendary pea soup. It's worth it for that alone. I think I'd even fly there just for that. Simply delicious! The entire menu is delicious, though. The staff is very relaxed and very friendly. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant!

If you want to feel like a typical Helmut on a break, you absolutely have to visit this place. The schnitzel is delicious, the beer is even better.

Yes, with 5 honest stars, more is not possible

decent food but way too expensive, small quantities, some dishes are poorly explained on the menu, service with several errors in the orders, execrable waiter who insists that we pay for drinks that we never ordered, who looks down on us by explaining that we don't know how to order correctly, who insults us on the way out when we refuse to pay him a tip for his more than poorly done work.

The food and cocktails are delicious. I would gladly return if the male server didn't call us "good girl" in such a derogatory way. It's very disrespectful (and cringe).

Everything was amazing. Best Angus burger I’ve had in a very long time. Great sauerkraut and veal schnitzel. Everything was out of this world and believe me I’m extremely picky. Waiter was so helpful and nice, service was unbelievably quick.

Everything is delicious and the service is particularly attentive.

Unfortunately, the pizza was very thin in the middle, I suspect it was pre-cooked. Otherwise, it was good, and the staff was very friendly. Reasonable prices.

When we entered immediately a good atmosphere. We were helped immediately, drink and starter also came very quickly. The starter was delicious. Shortly after came the main course, this was fine. Not particularly tasty, but the plate was very bare. We had ordered schnitzel, it was also really a schnitzel on a plate and nothing else.

I was at the restaurant on Friday, May 30th, around 5:00 PM. I had a very nice, attentive young waiter. I was very impressed with the drink selection, especially the Kölsch beer. The food was delicious, and I'd love to go back. Thank you!!

Food was way too salty, Kölsch beer was no longer served automatically but only after ordering, and the dining room was very loud.

It's always an experience and a pleasure to visit Eiglstein. The service is top-notch. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is plentiful and delicious. You'll be notified in advance if your order might be delayed, for example, if there are a lot of guests. Always worth a visit.

As always, very tasty and very friendly staff

I spontaneously decided to visit Eigelstein on a Saturday afternoon for a bite to eat. Without a reservation, I found a seat at a high table with a direct view of the kitchen. I ordered a cheeseburger with a side of French fries. The food was served quickly. The cheeseburger was juicy and the French fries were nice and crispy. The burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. I'll definitely stop by again when I get the chance.

Delicious Kölsch and Alt. It works 😉

If you want to drink Kölsch in Düsseldorf, you've come to the right place.

It's a very big dream. When it's busy, it's very loud. The food was very, very good.

Positive: Burgers are also available in vegan versions. However, the portions could be larger.

We ate delicious burgers! Since we didn't want to order digitally, we were thankfully able to do it the traditional way! Friendly service! Reasonable prices! We were satisfied! We'll be back!

The only brewery in the otherwise rather expensive Media Harbor. Even the simple Mettbrötchen (a traditional German sausage roll) is served beautifully here.

The food was very good, the prices were quite normal, the staff was friendly.

Very nice location with an outdoor terrace. We had little things to go with the Füchschen beer, very tasty.

The food was excellent, the service was incredibly friendly and accommodating. It was a great experience!

Food was simply great! Great staff, good mood, super fun and really fast! We would love to come back!

Even as a “late customer” top quality. Compliments to the kitchen! Great fried potatoes, textbook fried eggs, delicious salad, what more could you want... oh and REALLY AWESOME HOMEMADE meatballs! Thank you😉🤩

Again and again, it was a nice Saturday lunchtime, food was great, staff was friendly... THANK YOU

Home-style cooking and the colleagues are very efficient at lunchtime.

Food was delicious, good location but service was a nightmare and the staff was so arrogant that it was banging

We were here with a larger group. The service was quick and friendly. She was very attentive so we never had to wait longer for anything. The menu is quite large and has something for every taste. My steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. All in all, a good experience that can be repeated.

Ordered: ribs, pork schnitzel, potato dippers x 2, mushroom sauce, sparkling water Highlights: - Very generous portions - Tasty food - Lively ambience Watch-Outs: - Not easy-to-navigate online menu

Nice brewery location in the harbor with a nice terrace. Enjoyed good service and good tarte flambée. Kölsch is also available in the VILLAGE. To calm down. But there are also foxes. Gladly again - keep it up.

Located in the middle of the Media Harbor, the Eigelstein is a nice location to have lunch or meet up with friends in the evening. The food is tasty, but the portions are a bit manageable, depending on the dish.

It's super tasty. All friendly. Totally relaxed. Prices of course media harbor level. ... a Kölsch always fits in ;-) ... and no one was annoyed by the child. Not unimportant for us either

Kellner: sehr schwach und unfreundlich, wirft dir das essen auf den Tisch, fragt nicht nach ob es geschmeckt hat, zub Bestellen kriege man eine QR-Code zugeworfen. Tische nicht sauber, Glas ausgetrunken, keiner fragt nach obs noch ein Bier sein könnte.... Gulaschsuppe TOP, Rostbeefplatte Flop, zu dick geschnitten und sogar mit Messer schwierig zu schneiden. Portionen und Preise Gut. War zum 2.ten mal da, letztes mal wars gut, schade

Great lunchtime vibe. Tasty eats and beer.

Due to a visit the day before to have a drink, we decided to make a reservation here the next day to have dinner here! Because the food that was served to the other tables appealed to us from the look of it! We weren't disappointed, we ordered the flank steak for 2 people with fries and potato dippers and I have to say it was a great decision! The meat was a dream, the fries and dippers were super tasty and the beer 🍺 was tasty too! The only thing that was a bit annoying was the character of the interior of the restaurant! The more crowded it gets, the louder it gets inside! Luckily we were there early in the evening and it was still bearable! When we left it was already very loud! If you are in Düsseldorf you should consider a visit but reserve in advance via the website! I can recommend the restaurant!

We were there yesterday for a department lunch and I was very satisfied! The food tasted very good. It took a little longer, but everyone got their food at the same time, which I thought was great. So bravo for that! I was very curious about the service because there were the most reviews about it in the reviews, but I can only say the lady was very nice and tried to take good care of our group, which isn't necessarily easy with 14 people and an otherwise full house. There is a tiny star deduction for the ambience. The tables are a bit too narrow and you have to juggle a bit to fit everything. It is also quite loud with a full house and lots of lively conversations 😉 but the restaurant can't help that. I'll definitely come back because the pork schnitzel was delicious 😋

The location in the Media Harbour is actually nice, but the whole area is not running continuously 471

Attentive service, obliging and yet unobtrusive; good menu, quality is right, wide selection of drinks (Kölsch in Düsseldorf...😅).

Very nice atmosphere, nice service and delicious food. Always my pleasure.

Great meat, amazing ribs, schnitzel was ok. Fries that came with ribs were amazing

Nice place with good weather 🌡️

The best place for a nice ambient dinner in Düsseldorf hands down! The restaurant itself is nice and cozy inside and has nice outside seating with heating. The service is amazing, the waiters are very warm and welcoming and have good recommendations. The food was so delicious, great value for the price. The ribs were excellent. Highly recommend visiting this place if you haven’t yet! Big thanks to our amazing waiter Olaf!

I've been to this store many times now. The food is very tasty, huge portions, you will definitely be full, the service is very friendly and I would definitely go there again.

Mega-great women's carnival. Super organized. Great people, great music, great atmosphere. Next year again! 🥳🤩

Great service and delicious food at a fair price.

Really delicious food and fast, friendly service. Personally, I found the benches a bit uncomfortable and impractical if, for example, you want to go to the toilet and three people have to let you out. Still highly recommended and I will definitely come back again!

I've been coming to Eigelstein with my dad almost every week for several years. Every time we receive a warm welcome. The service knows our orders and is extremely courteous and friendly! The food tastes fresh, tasty and of very high quality. The products used look as if they were from a good supplier. However, what is particularly convincing (as already mentioned) is the service! The employees are super flexible, hard-working and attentive without being too intrusive. Every visit is a great pleasure. In addition, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable not only in terms of quality, but also quantity! I really have to give a big compliment. Thank you for the wonderful time we can always spend here!

Nice restaurant, good service, delicious food and beer but a bit too noisy for me

Very nice brewery that also serves Kölsch in Düsseldorf.

If you're in the mood for something hearty or a drink after work, Eigelstein is a safe bet in the Medienhafen. Typical brewery fare (pork knuckle, black pudding, schnitzel) but well done in terms of quality and presentation. The prices are local, so high, but not overpriced). Service is very attentive and sales-oriented, but not unpleasantly intrusive. Personally it's a bit too loud for me. The Eigelstein has been around for over 10 years now, and they do a lot of things right (electronic menu and ordering - it's quick). A bit too loud for me personally. A good address for those who are looking for a place in the Medienhafen for an unpretentious dinner.

The schnitzel was excellent. The Brauhaus Burger was a bit well done.

I have to say that the food and the beer were exceptional and quite a surprise. I also have to say that this is the first time in Dusseldorf that i was served a proper apple strudel. Fresh with a light crunch, it was truly exceptional. The pork knuckle i had was also good but the plate is so big i couldnt finish it.

Disastrous service - never again!

I always enjoy going there. Food and drinks were always good. Just fits.

I really enjoyed the evening at the Eigelstein. A little loud but typical for a brewery. The style is great (upscale) keep it up.👍🏼

Früher bin ich sehr gerne ins Eigelstein nach Düsseldorf gekommen. Das Essen war gut und man konnte sich dort nett aufhalten. Leider hat sich das geändert. Nun wurde ich das dritte und letzte Mal enttäuscht. Das Kalbsschnitzel kostet mittlerweile 30 EUR und schmeckt entsetzlich. Nach der Bestellung wurde es innerhalb von fünf Minuten gebracht, was klar dafür spricht, dass es lediglich aufgewärmt wurde. Im Ergebnis hat es so auch geschmeckt. Die Bratkartoffeln waren innen noch kalt, das Öl schmeckte abgestanden und die Sauce war aus der Tüte. Die Gläser fürs Bier waren verdreckt. So hat das Eigelstein vor der Pandemie nicht gearbeitet. Das ist nicht tragbar. Wenn die Gerichte bei 10-20 EUR liegen, dann kann man sich vielleicht nicht darüber beschweren, dass alles Fertigessen ist. Aber bei 30 EUR erwartet ich frisches Essen. Auch beim Service wird massiv gespart. Bestellt und bezahlt wird durch App. Wenn sonst alles passt, wäre das kein Problem. So ist es aber nicht. Es wird überall gespart und die Qualität ist schlecht. Es war auch kein Ausrutscher, denn es war jetzt das dritte Mal innerhalb eines Jahres, dass man so schlechtes Essen bekommt. Ich werde nun nicht mehr wieder kommen.

Unfortunately menu only via QR code.

Great brewery in the media harbor in Düsseldorf. Really nicely decorated. Fast service. In some cases, you can also order yourself via your cell phone. I'm not that big of a fan. But you don't have to.

A Cologne pub in Düsseldorf. There is Kölsch, but of course also Altbier! Plus typical brewery dishes.

It wasn't a particularly great trip. Beer takes forever and has nothing to do with reasonable service.

The Eigelstein in the Media Harbor in Düsseldorf. Is a Kölsch brewery in the middle of Düsseldorf. There are Cologne dishes like Himmel und Äd or Halve Hahn. The beer is the Gaffel Kölsch brand. The service is very friendly and is happy to help with any questions. We really liked it, we gave it 5 stars.

The food was fantastic and highly recommended.

Very tasty home-style food. Service is very quick, attentive and very friendly.

Everyone is very nice and attentive. We'd love to come back.

Many thanks to Robert for the fast and excellent service! We were here for Christmas dinner and it was simply fantastic. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was festive, and the service left nothing to be desired. Robert made sure everything went perfectly. Gladly again!

Great food, super nice staff and really good value for money - we'll definitely be back :)

Excellent everything! If you want to try typical German food, this is your place.

Good home-style local cuisine. Tasty and sufficient. The ambience won't be for everyone but I like it. A visit is definitely worth it.

We celebrated our Christmas party there again. The quantity and quality of the food was top notch. Super delicious from starter to main course to dessert. Unfortunately the service was a complete disgrace… We left a total of over €900 and were still ripped off. After the first and main courses, we ordered desserts for our group of 12 men. We told the waiter that we would like 7 of the four desserts offered (brownie, chocolate souffle, apple strudel and ice cream scoops). Served on large platters for both tables. When we looked at the bill (can be viewed online at any time from our cell phone), we saw that we had been charged for desserts worth around €330. 12 of each dessert or 24 scoops of ice cream. We politely pointed out his mistake again to the waiter: we ordered 7 each instead of 12. He wanted to take care of it!!! Nevertheless, 12 desserts each came and we were charged in full...an absolute no-go!!!!!!!! To pull off such a promotion on customers who drink and eat there for almost €1000 is really unacceptable. We will not recommend this restaurant, despite the delicious food. Think about it. Especially when the waiter comes to our table grinning. Reply to your feedback: How cool are you to accuse us of not telling the truth. Everything I wrote happened that way. Yes, the waiter said that it was too much, to which we replied again that 7 of each was ok. Yes, we took some things with us later because the 12 portions were too much, but we didn't order them either. It's a shame that you deal with criticism like this. The topic of the guest is king. In the end, we also paid for the portions that we didn't order. And they came to meet you like that.

Very loud, but very tasty salad and quick service

We were very satisfied, good food, large selection of freshly tapped beer and very attentive service! We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

We were eating in a larger group, apart from the fact that a place reserved for us had already been allocated, almost all the dishes came all over the place and no attention was paid at all to the cooking times or dips or anything like that. When you brought this up, you were reprimanded in a completely unfriendly manner as to why you would "accept" the dish when the waiter handed it to you. Yes, sorry that I can't immediately distinguish a dish from a restaurant based on the color of the side sauce when I order this dish for the first time?! Food was ok.. 7/10 but the service was really subpar. Unfortunately, really not recommended at all.

Very nice, great food, big drawback is the smell from the toilet. We sat at the long table and while eating the smell was disgusting. Please remove it otherwise people will stay away, it would be a shame.

We booked last minute for early Saturday night which was a good thing as it was very busy. The menu has a nice balance of prices, there’s no need to order starters as the mains are huge. The food was delicious - we had goose leg and pork knuckle because Germany! - but everything was very salty which might be quite typical for German cuisine. All the servers were friendly and helpful, and it was fun to see into the open kitchen.

Cologne brewery atmosphere in Düsseldorf (the forbidden city). Innovative ordering option. Good selection. I felt very comfortable despite the full house and loud guests!

The food is really great. Super nice waiters and just a nice location. It's a shame that football is no longer broadcast.

Great vibe, courteous and friendly staff. The price of food is on the higher side, portions are big but the taste is mediocre, there are limited vegetarian options.

Coller place in the media harbor. Nice and fast service

Delicious food, friendly service and prices were OK

Good quality/price ratio. Original dishes with a lot of flavor. Spacious and modern premises very close to the Rhine Tower. From my point of view, too modern regarding customer treatment. They force you to order by QR and the waiter is only responsible for bringing the dish to the table. Even the bill had to be paid with the cell phone.

We went there for dinner for the first time on the evening of November 1st. Yes, it is quite loud even at full capacity, but you can already imagine that. The smaller, heartier dishes were delicious (Brauhaus Pralinen) and Halve Hahn and an interesting combination. The Viennese veal schnitzel, on the other hand (even if there were two on top of each other), should be better removed from the menu or the chefs and owners should be sent to Austria to see what a Viennese schnitzel looks like there. Apparently they are pre-fried in an egg stone and then warmed up on one side, the lower sides are only browned. Meat okay but breading a disaster if you know that it could be different, which is what you could expect for 30 euros.

I regularly visit the Eigelstein restaurant at Düsseldorf's Medienhafen and have always been very satisfied with the food. The quality of the dishes is excellent and the ambience makes every visit a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, however, I had an unexpected and unfortunate experience with a waiter on my last visit. After I gave him a tip of three euros, he made it clear that he felt that amount was too small. He accordingly mentioned that he now had to share his own pocket with the other staff and gave an amount of 10% as a guideline. However, it should be emphasized here: Tipping is not an obligation, but a voluntary gesture that expresses the guest's appreciation for the service. Gratitude for every tip is usually a given in the catering industry. The quality of the cuisine at Eigelstein remains undisputed, but I hope that in the future the staff here will also be able to ensure a consistently positive and respectful interaction.

We went here for lunch. We reserved a table but that was not needed in the end. In a Saturday the area seemed relatively calm. But the place has a nice atmosphere, with an open kitchen/ bar and big windows that let in a lot of light. The staff was friendly and asked repeatedly if we liked the food. They gave us a QR-code at the beginning and we could order through that but also we could call the waiter. I liked the system because it goes fast and we can do your stuff in our time. The food was okay. We took a Flammkuchen with tomato, feta and Rucola and a pea soup. The food was okay for us but maybe not the best. Especially for the price it felt to us that the quality maybe was not really accordingly. Overall is was a solid experience for us and we would also recommend it.

The BEST outside from Cologne. Always happy, friendly, tasty and moderate.

Fries that tasted and looked like they had been reheated several times. Unfortunately the burger was unseasoned...

For many years, the food has been of very high quality and very friendly staff who provide very professional service.

I have known the Eigelstein for 10 years and it has changed significantly. Spare ribs used to be really good. Lots of sauce and nice potato wedges. It has completely subsided. The card with barcode also has no atmosphere. I won't visit the place again. Too bad. Then two stars for the nice quick answer ;) Maybe I've developed and can say something good today.

I had been to the Eigelstein again for a long time and was more than disappointed. The service was subpar to say the least. The wrong dishes were served (currywurst without sauce, i.e. bratwurst and the staff didn't even offer to take the plate away again and bring it back with sauce). The other food was just bad for these prices. I was simply used to better things from this place. I think that was my last visit.

Quite expensive, but very good food with good ingredients!

The place has changed a lot Staff don't understand simple requests, the order wasn't brought as ordered Dishes totally over-seasoned and spicy without it being noted on the menu Children's plate with 3 fish fingers pathetic In general, it was no longer what we once knew It's normal that there were so many free tables That was different. ...

Zelfgemaakte frites, heerlijke Wiener Schnitzel (2 was iets te veel) en zelfgemaakte hamburger. Verrassend goed voor zo’n groot restaurant. De wijn was zeker ook niet slecht en de bediening is uiterst aardig.

We actually wanted to eat somewhere else before going to the cinema. But between "unexpectedly closed" and "no space available without reservation" in other locations, this one stood out positively: yes They had a spot for two at the bar tables with stools! Service was very attentive, quick and careful. The food (a salad with fried salmon + veal slices with fried potatoes) came quickly and very well prepared. It was tasty and we didn't have to go to the cinema hungry or thirsty, thank you!

We were there on a vacation day. And since we don't want to be reachable on vacation, we of course didn't have a cell phone with us. Accordingly, we needed the menu and not the QR code...that was too much for the waitress. Very unfriendly staff if you don't use digital technology.

We celebrated our summer party here. The food was really very tasty.

Very nice and cozy brewery, great lunch.

Been here with guests from Berlin. They were excited too.
