Eigelstein in Düsseldorf

The Eigelstein is a welcome place to meet up for a beer, a lunch break with colleagues or a home-style dinner. The lunch menu is excellent value for money and the cuisine is as expected. Hearty food with fried eggs, fried potatoes, sausage, game, goulash are all recommended. You have to be lucky with salads, fish and tarte flambée. With the atmosphere and a Kölsch you can let your thoughts about Cologne wander.

Incredibly expensive, and there's no personal service, just an ordering app.

Been here regularly for 20 years. Great food. Family atmosphere. Always happy to come back.

Very good price/performance ratio

It's always a pleasure to be a guest at Eigelstein. The service is always polite and very attentive, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is simply fun. Highly recommended.

Great shop. Good food and friendly staff.

Disappointing and disrespectful – unfortunately, no longer an isolated incident I enjoyed the Eigelstein on Hammerstrasse for a long time, but unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this place. The quality of service has declined significantly in recent months: The portions are getting smaller, the prices are rising, more and more food seems to be pre-cooked – and, even more seriously, the way guests are treated has become disrespectful, especially towards female guests. Today, I finally reached the point: I stood visibly in front of the entrance for a good 12 minutes, ignored by several waiters – despite eye contact and multiple attempts to make myself known. No one stopped or asked if I needed help. I simply wanted to know if I could sit down. And this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. This behavior has unfortunately continued through several recent visits. Despite generous tips, I was repeatedly ignored or treated rudely. This is no way to treat guests. Eigelstein used to be a lively, hospitable place. Today, it seems empty, indifferent, and, unfortunately, arrogant. I'm very sorry to say this—but I won't be coming back.

Always delicious and the staff super friendly and competent!! Truly one of my absolute favorite restaurants!

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars Top food and service – but the atmosphere was completely ruined We were there on Saturday evening – the food was truly outstanding, the taste was absolutely top-notch, and the service was also very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere would have been really pleasant... But: Unfortunately, two boys, about 10 years old, ran continuously for over 30 minutes through the entire dining room, loudly playing with toy airplanes and running back and forth between the tables – and this in a fully occupied restaurant. No intervention from the staff, no reaction from the accompanying adults – absolutely disruptive and inappropriate for a relaxing evening. It's a real shame that something like this is tolerated at the peak of the evening. Great food, but we won't be coming back under these circumstances.

We recently ate inside for the first time; we've always eaten outside. The food is really good. It's a shame they only have a scannable menu. The staff was friendly, and the restrooms were clean.

Best service and best food in all of Germany, everything is top-notch, I will come again

It's perfectly fine for a quick lunch with colleagues, but the service is very impersonal and the atmosphere is loud. The meatball pan wasn't bad for the price either. All in all, not a place for a relaxed dinner.

I always enjoy coming to Eigelstein. The food is delicious at reasonable prices, the staff is super friendly, and the location is nice and cozy. I've never had a bad experience at Eigelstein. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Great selection of food and drinks. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Good food and top wines always happy

Good wine and excellent advice. We'll be back.

Very friendly. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Nice atmosphere, delicious wine, and friendly service! :)

Great wine bar with a wide variety of wines and delicious snacks for in between meals. If you're really hungry, you can also enjoy the hot food! My absolute recommendation: the spare ribs 😍

The food was good, but the mood changed when we complained about a lack of carbonation in one of our drinks. Instead of swapping, we argued at the bar, and unfortunately, you could see through the window that the waitress and bartender were joking and serving the same drink from the same bottle. A place like this really didn't need that, and it was quite disrespectful... it continued all the way to the bill.

🥘🇩🇪 Hearty, delicious & authentic – German cuisine as it should be! 🍺 At Eigelstein, you can get truly good home-cooked food that will fill you up and leave you happy: 🍖 Hearty classics like schnitzel, roasts, and the like – freshly prepared and flavorfully seasoned 🥔 Side dishes like grandma's kitchen – down-to-earth & delicious 🍻 A cool Kölsch beer goes perfectly with it 😊 Friendly service & cozy atmosphere Conclusion: If you're looking for honest, German cuisine, this is the place to be. We'll be back! ✅🥨

Rude, unfriendly. I gave a 4-euro tip, then the owner came over and angrily told me not to come back because I hadn't tipped enough. He said that was the rule in the restaurant.

Great, friendly and delicious food.

We were able to eat outside under an umbrella, which is highly recommended. The restaurant itself has an open kitchen that gives a professional impression. The food itself was delicious (goulash soup and salmon with couscous salad).

Great German food place, atmosphere was great and there's several kinds of beer to try. I would recommend the schnitzel strongly.

Unfassbar unverschämt – ich komme nie wieder! Ich war am Sonntag (29.06.25) im Eigelstein Düsseldorf mit meiner Familie essen. Die Rechnung lag bei 81 €, ich habe 85 € bezahlt – also 4 € Trinkgeld. Trotzdem kam der Eigentümer persönlich zu mir und sagte in einem extrem bösartigen Ton, ich solle nicht mehr wiederkommen, weil ich zu wenig Trinkgeld gegeben hätte. In so einem Ton, das sogar mein Sohn Angst hatte. Er sagte wörtlich, dass es in seinem Restaurant eine Regel gibt: „Wer zahlt, und isst, muss Trinkgeld geben – sonst soll er nicht mehr kommen.“ Das ist einfach nur frech, respektlos und unverschämt. Er lies mich nicht ausreden. Und als ich ausreden wollte, schrie er mich an ,, sei ruhig. Ich war öfters da und habe jedes Mal 10 bis 15 € Trinkgeld gegeben. Nur heute konnte ich ausnahmsweise nicht mehr geben – und werde dafür derart behandelt? Ich denke Trinkgeld ist freiwillig. Für mich ist klar: Ich werde dieses Restaurant nie wieder betreten. Wer so mit zahlenden Gästen umgeht, sollte keine Kunden mehr haben. Schämen sie sich für ihre Art und Charakter.

Nettes Abendessen im Außenbereich. Alles war gut und wir erstaunten die negativen Bewertungen, die wir später gelesen haben

Delicious Kölsch instead of Düsseldorf chic

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.

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

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!!

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.

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 😉

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

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

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!

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

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!

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😉🤩

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

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.

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.

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

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.
