HeimWerk Altstadt in Düsseldorf

The pork cordon bleu was tasty, but unfortunately, it was just slapped onto the plate without any care. For €17, I would have expected a bit more. You have to order fries separately. The service was very friendly.

Friendly, attentive staff. The food selection is varied, despite the focus on schnitzel. The quality is very good and delicious. Highly recommended.

Awesome food, brutal service, 10/10 I can recommend it to everyone!

Super delicious, but unfortunately the side dishes and drinks are very expensive. The truffle cheese fries are amazing!

Solid place on a side street in the altstadt. Food was excellent. Staff were very nice also. Will be back.

Great food! They have many schnitzel options including smaller portions and schnitzel burgers. I had the veal schnitzel burger which ranks in my top 10 sandwiches of all time! The service was very friendly. We loved this place!

The ambiance is very nice; there's an outdoor area, a slightly darker, rustic area inside (intentionally darker), and a brighter interior. The food is phenomenally delicious; you can choose between smaller and larger portions, which I really like, as I don't like to waste food and can choose according to how hungry I am. The best part was the service. The server was extremely prompt, always on top of everything, even when it was hectic, and he was in a great mood and very friendly, but in no way pushy or unpleasant. I felt extremely comfortable. I will definitely recommend this restaurant!

Cozy restaurant, quite busy but that may also be due to the somewhat larger space at the back.

The HeimWerk in Düsseldorf's old town is friendly and well-organized. The food was decent for the price, but served a little too quickly in my opinion. The atmosphere outside was also okay, not loud. Service was quick with ordering and delivery. But clearing was unfortunately much too slow!

Quite expensive, the schnitzels come with no side dish (not even sauce), but they cost about the same as a meal elsewhere. However, there's a good and tasty vegetarian selection. The homemade lemonade is delicious. The interior is spacious and there's plenty of seating outside, too. The benches don't invite long lingering.

The truffle cheese fries had more mayo than fries, especially since there was no mention of mayo on the menu. The Cordon Bleu, with its filling, was far too watery. Overall, a small portion.

The food was truly delicious and well-prepared, but unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour for it. The service was friendly, but it seemed as if the team was understaffed. It's a shame, because with a little better organization, the experience could have been much more pleasant.

Good food and a great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful waiters. Highly recommended.

Simple furnishings, but comfortable and everyone is very friendly

Very good veal schnitzel accompanied by very unique 'HeimWerk' sauce that I think is a must try to go with your fries. There are many different varieties of schnitzels to choose from, consist of veal, pork and chicken. I had veal schnitzel with cheese. The price of food is good, around €20 for the plate I got in the picture and a drink. They also have English menu which is good for people who don't know German. I would say the seating wasn't too comfortable for me as I had a wooden chair in a tavern style restaurant setting. But the food service was fast and the waiter that served me was friendly.

We tried wiener and crispy schnitzels, they were both good. Wiener was really enjoyable. We also tried draft beer and lemonade and they were good, too. It’s a nice and cozy atmosphere and the people worked there were kind.

100% service, the food lacked more options

Very nice shop. The food was great, especially the cordon bleu with the filling. The only downside is the chairs and benches; they're not particularly comfortable, especially if you have back problems. A few cushions would definitely help.

Great food. Nice place. Friendly staff.

Amazing 😍 place, fantastic 😊 food, great 👍 staff

Simply top-notch: delicious food, attentive staff, and the best beer on tap. All we can say is, "Go there!"

Top from A-Z, always happy to do so!!!

Super friendly team, absolutely flexible and the food is fantastic!

Very nice staff, delicious food, cool location.

There were 11 of us here, and we weren't disappointed. Everything was to our satisfaction. Delicious beer, super tasty food, and very pleasant service. If I'm ever in Düsseldorf again, I'll definitely stop by here again. I definitely recommend it! The prices are also very fair.

I really like this place because they offer small portions of everything. The food and beer are delicious, and the staff are really nice, accommodating, and friendly. You don't necessarily get that in Düsseldorf. I'd happily go back anytime.

This was really the best schnitzel my girlfriend and I have ever eaten, highly recommended!!!!

Good food, good service. Gladly again

After a wait of about 60 minutes, the food arrived at room temperature. I had the crispy chicken schnitzel (€17) with fries with truffle mayo and Parmesan cheese (€6.50). The schnitzel was super dry, just like the waiter's sense of humor. The cold fries were so drenched in truffle mayo that I gave them to my companions. I usually eat for two. The Augustiner had zero carbonation. The Kaiserschmarn was delicious.

A very tasty selection. If no one here can find something, that could be me. I had the delicious veal schnitzel with side dishes and drinks. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is outstanding.

A very cozy place! Very friendly staff!

We weren't even allowed to order food from the male waiter. The others were nice.

Traditional experience. Good food and service. It was busy but not too busy for the midday.

Great place with traditional cuisine and perfect service

Great for Schnitzel and tasty Bavarian beer in Düsseldorf

We were there on Japan Day with a group of six people, and everything went well. I was able to make a reservation online at relatively short notice and even spontaneously postponed the reservation for a few hours on Japan Day itself. We got a nice table and were promptly served with a menu. It took a while for everyone to get their drinks, but that's not surprising on such a busy day. The food arrived at the same time for everyone and was hot and delicious. The waitress was friendly and had asked about us. All in all, a nice and tasty option for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The cheese spaetzle was delicious! Not too cheesy like so often, but pleasantly mild. It's a shame that there are no sauces for the schnitzels (except for dips), as the corn schnitzel, for example, was tasty but quite dry. There are several vegan and vegetarian options, which is commendable. The restaurant itself is bright and welcoming, with plenty of space.

Very friendly staff. Can only help.

Best restaurant in Düsseldorf—Dennis did everything he could to get us a table. It was a pleasure and not the last time 🫶🏻

Really expensive and small portions in comprarisson with price and waiting 40minutes to eat a burger. Unacceptable

Very fast and friendly service! The food was delicious!

Accessibility and a disabled toilet are always important to me. Both were good. Personally, it was too noisy in the back area. The vegan/vegetarian food options were delicious.

Overall a very good experience, the food, the staff, and the atmosphere is really good.

Simply fantastic! Great beer (Augustiner), fast service, delicious food (the schnitzels have been larger), and a fantastic atmosphere. Whether inside or outside, a fantastic evening is guaranteed.

They definitely put effort into the breading, and the staff is very friendly. But the prices are so ridiculously high. €20 for a schnitzel, and it doesn't come with any side dish like fries, potatoes, or salad. It's really just a plate of schnitzel. So, with a side dish and a drink, you'll spend at least €30 per person. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic evening, either, as you sit at large beer tables with other guests. It looks more like a cafeteria. If you're out with colleagues in a group and the prices don't bother you, it's a good choice. The food was good, but not exceptional.

Delicious food and great service!

We were there with a large group, and the space and table size were great. Service was initially fast. The filling marks are apparently only seen as a suggestion; despite asking whether their glasses were never filled up to the filling mark, the only response was that it would be passed on. The sizes of the dishes varied so much that we wondered if some of them were serving children's portions. At least they tasted good. The kitchen certainly didn't do itself any favors with the dessert (Kaiserschmarrn). The best part was the apple compote... Perhaps the concept is designed for tourists to visit in one go, but unfortunately, there's a lot missing to encourage them to come back or recommend it to others... The speed, however, was incredible. We had our food for 14 people within 20 minutes. It's a shame, because the menu really promises a lot with its creations, especially since the schnitzels and burgers, as well as the Cordon Blues, were truly delicious.

Once again, the "Heimwerk-Altstadt" absolutely impressed us 👍 Despite being fully booked, the service was calm, super friendly, and fast! The schnitzels were perfect and the fries were hot 🔥 A 100% recommendation for all schnitzel lovers!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

For the brewery vibe, the portions can be a bit larger, but all the waiters are very friendly and always have a good joke :)

Great schitzels for a very reasonable price!

Service is very late and prices are very expensive

Overall, it was a very strange experience: The drinks arrived promptly, but we had to wait an unreasonably long time for the food. The schnitzel was extremely dry, without any side dish, sauce, or even a slice of lemon – and even simple side dishes had to be ordered and paid for separately, which is completely unreasonable given the price. Finally, there were chaotic scenes at the checkout: a QR code that was supposed to lead to the app download didn't work, and only after noticeable displeasure was a card payment finally accepted. Not a place I would visit again.

We sat outside, which was the best decision ever. It was well lit, and the heaters made it comfortable even in the evening. The service was very attentive, and the food was simply wonderful. There's something for everyone.

Good food, the atmosphere is quite loud, at least in the hall in the back of the restaurant, but the rest looks better. Many vegan options available. The service was mostly very kind and fast available 👍 Many good Alcohol free options to drink 🍸

A great, relaxed location on the edge of the old town, away from the hustle and bustle. Plenty of outdoor seating, soaking up the sun. Delicious beer (Augustiner) and a traditional Bavarian menu. The choice of two portion sizes is great. The interior is also large, but always busy. Reservations are highly recommended. The staff is very friendly.

great food, great beer, friendly staff

Good place to get a Wiener Schnitzel, although a bit expensive (I ordered the Bergkäseschnitzel, just for little cheese €5 extra, but it tasted good). Yesterday, Saturday, it was more or less crowded, so we waited long until we got our food. But ok. The staff very very nice, very friendly.

Saturday around 7:00 PM the drinks came quickly, but we had to wait almost an hour for the food, too bad they didn't tell us that. The veal schnitzel was very tasty.

Delicious Schnitzel in a cozy German atmosphere.

Is the redhead at the counter still single? With a practiced flick of his wrist he drank my beer in one go...great!!

You regularly have to wait more than an hour for your food. The quality of the food itself is good but it's not worth the wait. Meanwhile, you only get the opportunity to order a drink sporadically. Unfortunately I can't recommend it.

Delicious food, friendly service

Nice brewery with friendly service. There are a surprising number of vegetarian dishes and there are also snack versions for those who are slightly hungry

Great restaurant with great employees! Always friendly and tries to make the guests feel good. When it comes to eating, I can only give the visual impression of the food at the neighboring table. It all looked very tasty! But what I would definitely like to mention is the flexibility in meal sizes. If you don't have much of an appetite, just order a small quantity. This protects food and the guest's wallet too. We would go there again in a heartbeat and can only recommend it!

We had a pleasant evening as a family. We ordered schnitzel and fries. The environment is quite enjoyable.

Very friendly, great atmosphere and the food was very tasty 😋

Are here with 4 adults from Berlin for the May weekend. Very good location. Friendly service. Very good quality food. Decent price-performance ratio. Gladly again. We wish you continued good customers.

Delicious, species-appropriate meat and great service, I have to correct it again: OUTSTANDING SERVICE!

Delicious schnitzels, cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff – absolutely recommended! Although I come from Munich, I can say that there is a touch of Bavarian flair here. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. I'd love to come back!

Totally unfriendly and lazy staff… owners where are you? Made us sit in the corner because they are too lazy to walk 2 meters… whole place empty… CUSTOMER should be able to choose where they want to sit…. Can’t substitute any food… fries are fries… what different does it make??? Get your stuff together… nobody there to greet you when you enter… nobody cares…

We've been here several times to eat schnitzel, but we remembered the schnitzel as something that was "just like that". Today we were pleasantly surprised: the schnitzels were really tasty and super juicy! Right at the beginning, the friendly waitress apologized for the fact that not all types of schnitzel were available and informed us transparently about it. We chose a classic pork schnitzel and a veal schnitzel - both were there and really excellent. The food came quickly, the service was very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

The food was very, very tasty and the price-performance ratio was more than just right. The service staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back.

I ate the Wiener Schnitzel. The schnitzel was good and tasty. There were fried potatoes as a side dish. Everything was very tasty. Good service! Can absolutely recommend!

We had to wait a long time and the food was too expensive for the quality

Super delicious vegan schnitzels. The “meat” dishes come from “species-appropriate husbandry” as it says everywhere on the menu. Unfortunately, nowhere, not even on the website, was it transparent to read WHERE the animals were “kept in a species-appropriate manner” and what HeimWerk meant by that.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite the place not being full, I had to wait over 15 minutes just to be seated. Once they realized I don’t speak German, the service noticeably changed—the staff took a long time to come over and take my order, and I was left waiting much longer than the local guests around me. When the food finally arrived, the schnitzel I ordered was burned. It was meant to be crispy, but it was overcooked and tasteless. No one bothered to check in to ask if everything was okay, even though I noticed the waiters checking on every German-speaking table around me. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place—not for the food, and certainly not for the way non-German speakers are treated by the staff.

Delicious schnitzel, friendly staff, plenty of room

A cozy little party place! Good food, good environment!

Unfortunately it was extremely loud in the shop and there was a draft because the door was open the whole time. It's not super comfortable to sit on either, as the benches don't have anything to lean on. But the service is super nice and the cheese spaetzle was actually the best thing I've eaten in a long time. The passion fruit spritzer I drank was also delicious. So I would come again and again. You should definitely reserve a table here in advance.

Love this place. Frequent client.

Favorite restaurant in the city center!

Very nice little place where my family and I ate well. We also liked the service and the environment. If you are interested in eating German food, it is definitely recommended! 😊

Everything was delicious! portions large, I had the format of snack, my boyfriend has a meal. There are almost ten types of schnitzels on the menu — that’s awesome! 😁 The interior matches the vibe of the place, everything was clean and pleasant, and the service was excellent. We really enjoyed it! 💖

We have an annual trip to Düsseldorf for business, and I always make it a point to have dinner at HeimWerk. Food is absolutely delicious, nothing beats the potato salad and last time I had a delicious mocktail with it. Definitely still coming back in years to come.

What can you say... They were "just" schnitzels, but they were great. We decided on veal and can only warmly recommend it. Be sure to eat it with the incredibly delicious potato salad. That was the highlight. We also liked the fact that you can order the normal or snack size of almost everything. This way you can also test different things. The service was attentive and friendly and catching the last rays of sunshine in front of the house was a great place for dinner.

Real German food, with tasty schnitzels and beer.

The service staff was super awesome! But if you're looking for Sambuca, you won't find it here. Food was great too 😜

The food was extremely good 😋 👌with some surprising twists.

Great outdoor area, delicious beer.

Sehr viel Luft nach oben. Geschäftsphilosophie auf einem Niveau, welches hart an der Grenze ist. 2 Stücke Fleisch auf dem Teller, ohne jegliche Beilage für 18€ aus denen noch der Fleischsaft lief. Knochenharte Panade. Beilage kostet 5.50€ Aufpreis. Wir sind gerne in Düsseldorf aber das hat uns wirklich geschockt. So schlecht haben wir noch nie gegessen. Die guten Bewertungen sind nicht nachvollziehbar oder sind die Ansprüche inzwischen so im Keller?!? Nein Danke! Ich hoffe sehr auf grundlegende Änderungen in der Geschäftsführung...

Everything's great, gladly again!

The restaurant feels more like a tavern because of the seating arrangements. Even though you don't really get your own table unless you come with a big group, I think each of us had enough space. We ordered 3 different schnitzels and 2 sides. My favorite was the veal schnitzel with cheese. I think it had the best seasoning of all 3 and it was the most tender. The pork schnitzel with mustard was also good. I am not really a fan of cordon bleu, but this I liked this one. The sides were delicious. We had the coleslaw and the roasted potatoes. Paired with good beer, and you have a great dinner. The service was a bit slow though, so you must have a little patience.

The food was excellent, as was the service. We sat in the back, where it is very very loud (through a glass roof), but unfortunately also very loud.

We were there with a group of 7 people. The location is really nice, bright and friendly. The service staff was friendly, quick and attentive. The price is very fair, also because there is a small and a normal portion of almost every dish. There is also free, fresh drinking water from the tap. So far, good. 😊 Unfortunately, the food wasn't convincing at all. 🙈 The rösti patty from the burger was very hard/crispy and tasted burnt. For dessert there are only Kaiserschmarrn in 4 variations, also vegan, which is a plus point. Unfortunately, neither the consistency nor the taste had anything to do with Kaiserschmarrn. It was more of an unfortunately badly burnt, shredded pancake that was fried in way too much sugar and drowned in caramel syrup (not sauce). The quality needs to be improved. 🙂

A really good Wiener Schnitzel at an okay price. You can definitely do it!

We tried the new breakfast and it was absolutely delicious! The service was also very friendly. We felt very comfortable.

Unfortunately, a few times the fries weren't quite as they should be. Otherwise everything was great. We were compensated in a very nice way. I have been going to you with family and friends for years. You are great......

That was nothing. After a long day in Düsseldorf, we wanted to end the day with good food. The ambience is nothing special. Not a cozy atmosphere where you want to linger for long. The waiters adapt to the ambience. Good service looks different. We were told a stupid thing right at the beginning because we were with several people. The food was not prepared at all decoratively or aesthetically. The salad is decorated in large pieces and it didn't taste good either. Anyone looking for a good Düsseldorf ambience will be disappointed. We then quickly left and didn't come back.

The veal schnitzel and burgers were okay. The chicken was impressive. The beer (Augustiner) tasted good with it. The service was commendable, friendly, fast, and omnipresent (in a positive way). Overall, however, the open space was very loud. It's not suitable for a large group chat. You can only hear your immediate neighbor and the person sitting opposite.

If you like schnitzel, this is the place for you, but it's a bit noisy for stimulating conversation. The food (veal schnitzel, potato salad and Kaiserschmarren) was really good, I would have had an aperitif (Aperol Spritz) at another location beforehand. We'll be back!

Nice location, nice service, good food
