HeimWerk Altstadt in Düsseldorf

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

Had a nice schnitzel, friendly staff, plenty of space

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.

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! 😊

Love this place. Frequent client.

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.

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

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 😜

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!

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. 🙂

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.

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.

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

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......

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

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.

Nice location, nice service, good food

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!

They just starting breakfast period from 0930am onward and to tell you all it’s super delicious. I had Hearty Breakfast which is eggs bacon and potatoes and German Sausage which I was told it’s a tradition German sausage that served here not to mention Gesa who taken care of us with everything. We had nice time eating here at Heimwerk. Definitely check it out if you are in Düsseldorf old town area. ✌️👍

By far the best schnitzels I have ever eaten! The taste reminds you from the preparation to the enjoyment, pretty much how the chef pounded the schnitzels.

Austrian cuisine in Düsseldorf. The veal steak was good. But not exceptional. The service was very good and friendly. Overall, it's worth a visit

The food and service were both excellent. The place had a nice atmosphere, as well.

Was in the old town last week. Super tasty schnitzels. Lots of choice. Staff super friendly. Dog friendly!

Visiting IDS we decided to stay in Düsserdorf. So we had dinner at the comparable one! Classic beer bar, with very good and fast service. Food very tasty. Schnitzel in all its forms. On my plate, the amount of meat should not have exceeded 80 grams. I was very hungry (I left Athens at 5 in the morning and from Frankfurt I went straight to the exhibition) but the portion was really on the limit. Too much fuss. You can't easily to talk with your company. But we were living people. Would I eat here again??? YES...

Leon in particular was very attentive.

The ambience and food were good and the price was reasonable. Sometimes we waited a bit for service, but we were able to get through that with conversation. Unfortunately, it is always a bit noisy, especially in the back dining room. Nevertheless, we would like to come back. It

The food is really good! We've been there a couple of times now.

There are many different types of schnitzel. You actually create your own plate by choosing the meat, coating and side dish. The best part is that if you are not hungry enough to have a main course, you get a half portion when you order it as a “snack”. I got the crispy chicken + roasted potato snack. It was very filling and good. The tables and benches are not comfortable, we could not sit and eat for a long time. The sink was very dirty, I did not expect this.

Very tasty food, lots of vegan options, the vegan celery schnitzel was great and the truffle mayo is also vegan & very tasty and truffley! And there are Augustiner Helles, which you rarely see in Düsseldorf! ☺️ It's just a shame that the mushroom schnitzel is only vegetarian and not vegan, maybe that can be changed in the future 😉 The staff are also very friendly, but the volume is quite high due to the space.

Very, very tasty schnitzel, great selection. Friendly service. I'll definitely be back.

Very good and nice friendly just perfect for a relaxing evening

Cozy system catering that offers better quality than the usual competition! Unfortunately, the poultry in my burger was fried to death and the lye bun was a bit dry. Overall, however, I would come again.

I found my veal schnitzel tasty, but of course the price was a bit higher. I didn't like the charm of a beer garden.

Ideal restaurant to eat all kinds of schnitzel. Very clean and the staff very professional and friendly.

Everything very good, very friendly service

A really great restaurant with a great location! The service was first class, the staff very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, freshly prepared and a real highlight in terms of taste. The price is also absolutely right for the quality offered. absolute recommendation!

We were there for dinner with a larger group. The large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes impressed us. They also offer more unusual versions of schnitzel and burgers that you won't find anywhere else. Overall the food was very tasty. The only drawback was that it was very busy on Saturday evening and unfortunately the service suffered a little as a result. The service staff seemed very stressed and you had to wait longer to order or pay. Overall, it was a nice evening at home. If we are in Düsseldorf again, we would like to come back.

The waiter served us in Spanish and although it was difficult for him to speak, he did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. Good atmosphere and the food was not bad. Reasonable prices

We received a warm welcome, the kitchen is a culinary delight👌 The service is very attentive & friendly! We were well looked after by lovely Alexander! Very happy again! Kind regards & see you soon

Delicious food and Augustiner on tap. So you can also go out and drink beer in Düsseldorf

Very pleasant experience on our last night in Berlin. Delicious food, good vegan options and lovely service. Definitely recommend.

Two small veal schnitzels, lukewarm fried potatoes with no taste and a colslaw that looks like it comes from a can. And unfortunately for €30 it's not what I would have expected. I'm disappointed.

The worst Kaiserschmarrn of my life – a culinary disappointment I don't even know where to start. I love Kaiserschmarrn – light, airy, slightly caramelized, a pleasure that melts in your mouth. But what I was served here was a complete disappointment. The first plate arrived: burning hot, but the Kaiserschmarrn itself was cold. This already suggested that it was not freshly prepared. A suspicion that was confirmed with the first bite. The consistency was reminiscent of stale bread soaked in sugar water, without any lightness or flavor. No trace of fluffy, caramelized Kaiserschmarrn - instead a bland, mushy mass. To be fair, I gave him a second chance. This time the dish was warm throughout, but unfortunately the taste was just as disappointing. Either a ready-made mixture was used or the preparation was simply incorrect. The art of whipping egg whites correctly doesn't seem to be known in the kitchen. The rest of the food wasn't convincing either: the schnitzel was extremely greasy, the fries looked like they had been fried several times in old oil. It was particularly unfortunate that despite these shortcomings no solution was offered. A gesture of accommodation would certainly have improved the impression, but instead the full price was charged as if everything had been perfect. If you want to enjoy real Kaiserschmarrn, you should look for a better alternative.

I went to eat with friends, the ideal atmosphere, the food was very delicious and the service was 10!! Recommendable! Very nice!!

Always good for a relaxed, delicious lunch

Very good food, friendly service, unique décor. Well located. Recommend

Very good. A small portion is often enough. If you have more space for dessert ;) it's definitely worth it

Super nice food and nice atmosphere! Great staff too!! :)

Loved the pumpkin seed schnitzel and the maracujasaftschorle.. service was friendly and kind! Would def recommend and return

Best place to hangout with friends. We mostly visit this places to enjoy the Augustiner Beer.

I ate a schnitzel here that I liked very much, everyone should taste this taste, thank you to all the staff. It was an enjoyable dinner.

We had dinner there on Shrove Monday and had a lovely time. The food came quickly and was very tasty. The service is very nice and attentive.

We were spontaneously in Düsseldorf and came across DIY by chance - a real stroke of luck! The service was extremely friendly and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the schnitzel: the breading was perfect – golden brown, crispy and yet pleasantly light. The meat was of excellent quality, super tender and juicy. A big plus is that many of the ingredients come from the region, which you can definitely taste. A great restaurant with great food and an honest, sustainable philosophy - we'd love to come back!

Realy nice ambiance en animal frendly local food I would like to come again

Delicious food, ready quickly, atmosphere is a little less long tables with benches. But the food makes up for a lot.

Food was very tasty, cordon bleu filled with black forest and obazda was a hit! We didn't know that before. Backhändl was neat and juicy. Basil-lime mayo dip (homemade) was also great. Service was friendly and quick. Ambience cozy and modern. Definitely a recommendation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was really great and delicious here

Super delicious food. Great concept with the snack portions. Happy to come back!

We were there with 8 people and had a very good time. The food is super delicious. Even though it was very busy, we were warmly served and didn't miss anything. A very clear recommendation!

Don't miss fast service, good traditional food and pleasant surroundings.

Great restaurant even for larger groups! Always happy to come back 👍

Great ambience, delicious food and very nice service!!!

Unfortunately we had to wait a very long time for our food (45 minutes plus). The fried potatoes were at most lukewarm, as was the schnitzel. We were offered to exchange the food, but due to the extremely long waiting time and tickets at the Apollo, we said no. Unfortunately, there were no other compensation offers such as free dessert or espresso on the house. It's a shame, it could definitely be much better. In addition, one of the plates was damaged (severely chipped on one side) and should not have been served that way. All in all very sobering, as the good reviews had brought us here.

Very cozy. Delicious. Very friendly. I can recommend.

This was the second time we had food delivered. It was soooo delicious. Mega delicious salad dressing, crispy salad, great chicken schnitzel, delicious fries with (absolutely breathtaking basil dip, lemon) and at the end the classic Kaiserschmarren. Simply top!!! Thank you. This is what delicious food tastes like.

Really great choice of food and drinks, very welcoming service. At some points, the waiters were overwhelmed due to multiple parties entering at the same time, and there were some extended waiting times for drinks, but other than that everything was perfect. Really nice soundtracks, design, and atmosphere.

We always enjoy coming to the Heimwerk, but mostly because of the delicious beer. We have also eaten several times. There is nothing to complain about in terms of taste, but the portions are quite manageable and relatively expensive. We are used to something different from Franconia. The incredibly friendly and attentive service is particularly praiseworthy. We rarely encounter this in Düsseldorf! 👍🏻

Gesa is the best service person. Seating with backrests would be cool. Otherwise great!

Were here for the first time. Very nice service, good food. For me it's ideal that there are also small portions. Gladly again

Gesa was an excellent condition and gave us a great evening.

Good schnitzel, delicious beer and the highlight was the service! Friendly, always beer at the table, what more could you want. Gesa was world class!

Gesa is the best, fast and reliable.

Very tasty food! Always happy to come here.

Very popular location, be prepared to be thrown out earlier even if you book a table until late. Food is good, but the portions are small sometimes. "Craft Bier" from menu wasn't available again, although it was a different brewery on my 2nd visit. So why bother to put it on the menu?..

Very good food and very great and lovely service. Very clean, which you can't say otherwise in the old town in Düsseldorf

Very nice atmosphere. The service staff are very friendly, they know their job and, most importantly, they smile 😊. The food is of high quality and exclusively regionally produced. Price/performance ratio absolutely good. We felt very welcome and will definitely come back.

Einen Punkt für freundliche Begrüßung und Begleitung zum Tisch. Einen Punkt für die Kunst, ein Kalbsschnitzel so dünn zu kloppen, dass die dreifache Menge Panade dran hängen bleiben kann. Bratkartoffeln hatten auch schon mal bessere Tage. Preis-Leistung passt nicht. Mit Beilagen lag das Schnitzelchen (der Scheinriese) bei fast 30€. Alter Verwalter!

Very tasty food and good service. Good selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Great food. Very nice and quick service. The only drawback is the background noise

We ended up in DIY by accident. We ate and drank really well. It's great that you can order different sizes for all dishes. So I was able to test 2 with just one meal (schnitzel and spaetzle) 🤩. If we ever find ourselves in Düsseldorf again, we will definitely come back.

Large room with large tables but not as noisy as you would expect. Various and excellent cutlets, good beer, quick and friendly service. Super!

Nice restaurant with a cheap lunch menu.

Great atmosphere, recommended food. Friendly and prompt service.

We were a group of 6, very quick service and good schnitzels

Delicious food and great service, gladly again!

Not for the coffee, but for the food!

Everything is fine, good ambience and delicious schnitzels + side dishes at reasonable prices. Service could come to the tables more often but is friendly.

Super tasty veal schnitzel and a great friendly team! We felt well hosted and kindly looked after. Despite the store being very full, we got new food and drinks quickly and quickly and the prices were right too. Gladly again!<3

Brauhaus atmosphere meets modernity The staff are extremely friendly, we initially had to wait a long time for our delicious Augustiner, but after consulting, our waitress apologized, so everything was fine. And then came our veal schnitzel with mountain cheese and salad (20 +5), as well as pork schnitzel and potato salad. Both of excellent quality. You can taste it! Super well baked, the side dishes without any things in them that don't belong. You can choose between small and normal portions, just a good concept! The service then ran smoothly. By the way, the toilets are also very clean Thanks also from our dog for the water :)

Good local. I had the turmeric schnitzel with fries and curry sauce... everything was super tasty...

The food is great but the prices are pretty steep

Very good service - friendly service!

- Service is a little slow, the restaurant is very big so it is difficult to catch the waiters' attention - Atmosphere is very nice, but it is a bit loud
