Louisiana Düsseldorf Altstadt in Düsseldorf

Toilet woman wants 1 euro for toilet use for guests

We went to this café and tipped. They told everyone they didn't like it and said everyone should give at least 1 euro. Don't go to this café; it's not a good place at all. I just wanted to say it.

We ate here today. The atmosphere is great and reflects the old town. Unfortunately, we waited over an hour for our food. The waitress was super nice and told us it would take a while, but we still got the food after over an hour, and it was cold. That was a shame.

The waiter was rude and very unfriendly! The bald waiter with a beard and glasses treated us very badly. Even though we gave a tip, he was dissatisfied and threw the receipt at us. The service was extremely bad we definitely don't recommend!

The bald waiter with a beard and glasses treated us very badly. Even though we tipped, he was dissatisfied and threw the receipt at us. He's very rude; it's unacceptable for him to treat guests like that. I can't recommend him!

I went to this café; the waiter was an older man with a white beard. After I paid the bill, he thought the tip was too low, scolded me, and said, 'You've been sitting here for an hour and you're still giving me such a small tip?'" This is a bad café, Louisiana Düsseldorf Altstadt.

Great restaurant in the middle of the old town. Great service and extremely tasty beef ribs! Highly recommended 👍

Great for sitting and drinking a few drinks Very cozy Anyone who wants to watch football 3 televisions are on site

So we haven't been to Louisiana with my girlfriend for a long time and we thought, the weather is nice today (03/20/25), we'll go eat there again. But what we experienced there in a very short time was not without its consequences, and what we have now stopped is really an imposition. There was a free table outside, so we sat there first, unfortunately there was no separation (partition-wise) between our table and the pedestrian zone like there was with all the other tables. Well, we ordered food and drinks and saw that the table next to us was empty and my friend asked the waiter if it was okay to change seats, saying 'do as you want'. Then we go over and at that moment three people come and wanted to sit down there too, but I was already sitting and so was my girlfriend. Then the waiter comes and asks if we can get up again so that the others can sit down there! I tell him that where we were sitting, without a partition, it's like sitting in the middle of the pedestrian zone and eating... honestly, after work you just want to relax. Then the waiter said we could sit down! At first I didn't understand why the suggestions were always only addressed to us?! Maybe you were a friend of the waiter? Of course we didn't want that when the weather was so nice again. Further statement: the waiter decides who can sit where! We then packed our bags and when we said goodbye he said to us, “Get off!” Well, I've never experienced that before, that's not our level, a kind of language usage, that's sad for Louisiana, there were decent waiters there last year. Lack of staff here or there but here the level was at a low point, if one can even speak of any level. Too bad for the store

The wait was very long, even though the restaurant was half empty. The waiter was very inattentive and not customer-oriented, and he was rude. And tips, I think, should be left to the customer's discretion (the waiter didn't give the full change), especially considering such service. The dirty plates were taken away by a waiter who didn't serve us, even though our waiter saw them. I didn't have time to finish my request; he silently turned around and left. No wonder the waiters don't have name tags. Terrible service!!!!!!

I'm usually really straightforward and don't get upset easily, but this visit was a disaster. The waiter was extremely rude from the start and literally rushed us because we took “too long” to order - even though we were still thinking about it. After we finally ordered, we still had to wait forever for our food. When we politely pointed out the poor service, there was no understanding or accommodation from the staff. On the contrary – you were completely ignored. Regarding the food itself: The price-performance ratio here is not right at all. For €16 I got frozen meat that was neither fresh nor tasty. This is simply unacceptable. Conclusion: Bad service, unfriendly staff and overpriced, poor quality food. I absolutely cannot recommend the store and will definitely not be coming back.

Everything's good so far, but you have to dig into your wallet again to go to the toilet. It doesn't work at all!!!

Waiting over an hour for a salad bowl....

Very nice sit down place for anyone in dusseldorf. Came from Chicago to check out the city and it was very nice.

Rarely have I eaten and drank cocktails so badly... Mojito as stale, citizens worse than at Mc's. Just slap a ready-made patty on it, you can eat better for 10.50 euros 😮‍💨. When we spoke to the staff... they only said that if you wanted fresh food, you would have had to mention it and pay more 😪

Relaxed atmosphere, nice service and good food.

Great service, but cocktails watery, and food not worth the price.

Visited this restaurant after a long time. Staff nice. My personal feeling - a deterioration in quality compared to before Corona.

Simply a good shop, always happy

Me sorprendió gratamente la calidad de las comidas y el servicio. La comida era muy fresca y sabrosa, y esta opinión nos compartió a los cuatro.

The food was really delicious, especially the salad – I love it! The burger also tasted excellent. The service was extremely professional and attentive. The ambience is probably a matter of taste: sitting outside is pleasant when the weather is good, but inside it is more reminiscent of a pub with extremely loud music. A clear point of criticism is that someone stood in front of the toilets several times to collect money - that doesn't fit at all in a restaurant where you already eat and pay.

Cocktails are great, of course you have to add a potato with them ❤️Friendly staff and a great place. But it's such a shame, the toilet is paid🤔

Branch with friends we have same snacks , food was ok and price too, pretty fast service

We were at the Louisiana Düsseldorf restaurant on a Friday around 7 p.m. Unfortunately, the service was a bit overwhelmed or simply understaffed, and also annoyed and unfriendly. The quality of the food was good. Unfortunately, we only received one drink per person in a 1.5 hour stay and had to intercept a waiter at the counter in order to pay, otherwise no staff took care of us and the adjacent tables. Please improve the service so that people can recommend the otherwise nice store.

Delicious food, top service. 👍🏼 Toilets were very dirty!!! Was asked by the lady sitting at the toilet. Why I don't pay, stupid. 😅 But the restaurant can't do anything about it.

Slechte service personeel en zeer onvriendelijk. Warme Dranken zijn niet warm en bijna koud. Frisdrank heeft een vreemde bijsmaak.

Very bad service from staff. Hot drinks are cold and tasteless. Soda has a strange aftertaste.

We went to the Christmas market in Düsseldorf and it was great and recommended to everyone

Definitely the best barbecue restaurant in this neighborhood. Generous and appetizing. The ribs are the epitome of tenderness on the outside, and the burger is a good combination of thick meat with generous vegetables and cheese. If you pair it with root beer, it's a great Dussel meal. Highly recommended

Een uur moeten wachten op 2 gerechten, die dan nog relatief koud toe kwamen. Op zich basis eten voor de basis prijs. Wij komen niet terug.

Excellent welcome, very welcoming environment, perfect service, quite good food.

After the Christmas market last weekend, we settled here for a nightcap. We were pushed away with a group of four people into a dark corner of this cafe/restaurant, which is a dancing place in the evenings. The choice on the menu was quite wide. Unfortunately, the quality of what was chosen turned out to be substandard: a friend's (prepper) food was on the cold side and I found the bun of my cheeseburger quite dry. Service had a set of creamy jopens but did not appear to be transparent about the calculated tip. Very unfortunate. Another friend of mine, who was quite sour during the day, had good words for the service of the lady at the toilets. All in all, we would not come back here to eat something, but for a quick sanitary stop.

I have never seen such unfriendly staff in my life. After 10 minutes of waiting outside in the cold, no one came to us, then we asked inside and they said “sorry, not my problem, colleague from outside does it” .. then we sat outside because one table was empty, then that one Another employee came and threw us away because we “weren’t allowed to sit at the table because the table is for 4 people and we’re not allowed to sit anywhere until he’s there and there’s no room for us anymore”. I really don’t know whether the owners of the restaurant know what rude, disrespectful employees they employ and how many customers they lose every day because of such impudence..

The service is bad as no one was outside to serve or greet. The waiter was very rude and refuse to serve or even work. We had to leave with my family as he was so rude. I do not recommend this place at all. I do recommend the resto next to it called cafe madrid.

A bad experience and charging a servicefee/trinkgeld for the delivered "service" and foodquality is bizarre. After ordering it took almost an hour before the food was served. People were all waiting too long on their food. During that time nobody came to ask for another round of drinks. The food itself tasted ok, but wasn't hot anymore when it was served. It felt heavy in the stomach. Paying with a card is possible, but you get a receipt with a qr-code, so you can't see in an easy way how the bill is specified. Later on we found out why: We discovered that a 10% servicefee / trinkgeld was charged without telling us. There wasn't a notice on the menu. Please keep such american tricks in america (at least they inform you about it) or at least deliver decent service and proper foodquality. We feel that we are tricked and won't come back.

Maybe I had too high expectations

Un servicio horrible. Después de sentarnos esperamos 20 minutos y nadie vino a sacar bebidas o comida. Los platos en las mesas adyacentes parecían bastante deficientes, así que nos fuimos!

Cozy and delicious food. Recommended to visit.

Always happy because it's very tasty Update 08.12.24 still our first choice in Düsseldorf's old town. Update October 28th 16 This shop is also the first choice if you just want to have a drink

If you are a girl, DO NOT go to the Louisiana Bar!! As a girl, I would like to tell you about the disgusting incident we witnessed there last night. We went to the Louisiana Bar for a drink with my friend from class and sat at a table. A strange man started dancing around us, trying to get attention. We ignored him and turned our heads the other way. Then this perverted man touched my boyfriend. I got mad at him and yelled at him to leave. He didn't care and touched it again. I complained to the waiter about this man. The waiter spoke to the man next to this man. And the pervert went to another side. Finally. Then, while my friend was talking to someone and I looked to my right, I saw the perverted man coming towards me and rubbing my jacket on his p*nis on the chair. I was shocked, I have never experienced something so disgusting in a cafe/bar in my life. My friend's friend wanted to resolve the situation by talking to the perverted man, the perverted man made a hand gesture, then our friend went to that perverted man and the perverted man hit him, then others got involved and a big one happened Dispute. While there was a fight going on right behind me, I was pushed, maybe intentionally or accidentally, and I felt a hit on my back, I almost hit the ground and my back hurts a lot today. I said to the waiter, “I warned you about this pervert. Do you remember?" The waiter looked at me like he was right but didn't say anything. The waitress handed the phones on the table to the barista, I took the phones from her and while she said to the waitress that this man is a pervert the waitress told me; “We know, we’ve seen it all,” he said. Yes, that's the problem. Everyone saw everything but the bar staff and security did nothing while this perverted man disturbed us all evening and tried to molest us. Until a big fight broke out and security came. If you don't intervene when you see two girls being harassed in your bar, if you take such an inhumane approach to business, if all you care about is serving food and taking your money, if you don't keep the peace Why Did you open a bar from the people who sit in your place? Just as we will never go there again, you can be sure that I will tell all the girls at my university that they are never safe in this bar. You're disgusting. A disgusting bar that just watches girls get harassed. You can follow what I'm saying through the camera footage and see all the details.

We came with a group of friends during the Christmas market. We had plenty of food and drinks. When checking the receipt we saw that we were completely ripped of. There are several drinks on the bill that did not belong to our table. The waitress spilled a full drink on my lap, and asked if I wanted a new one. They also charged us for the spilled drink. And added a tip without mentioning this anywhere. More than 50€ overcharged… so always check their bill!!

Had super tasty, tender spareribs! Fell right off the bone. Only the outside was a little too crispy/dry. Furthermore, delicious. Nice staff, but it took a very long time before we got our dinner and before we could pay again. Busy place, nice that there are heaters on the terrace.

The service was okay, the atmosphere was good. The bill: you will receive a receipt stating the final amount. This was too high in my opinion!! When you scan the QR code, you will see the full bill! There was more on it than we used. A new bill was made without any problems, but this mistake often happens in this restaurant!! Also customers in the area who thought the bill was high, but did not check it and simply paid. This is a scam and takes advantage of customers who pay in good faith.

Watch out!!! This place take his own tip.. (trinkgeld) mostly 10% of the bill this is pure scamming and against the law. I got my 5 euro tip back.. so always chek your bill. Food is to expensive for what you get.

Boomer bar with nice people in it!

Delicious burgers. Excellent service and available in multiple languages.

Tasty food for a reasonable price! Best place in the city with music!

Considering it was the first time there, it was very tasty

Food was great, really enjoyed the BBQ ribs. They fell off the bone and were super soft and well seasoned and the portion was massive! Enjoyable food. Cost €79.90 for 2 people getting ribs, chips, garlic bread, and one pint each which I don't think was worth it considering the rest of my experience in the restaurant. *EDIT- The food/drink was €72.70. The restaurant added their own tip of €7.20 which is pure cheeky. I would not have left any tip due to the shocking service. The service was shocking. I understand that it was very busy, but there looked to be only 2 servers serving our area and god love them they looked super stretched out. We waited over 50 minutes for our order. I ended up having to go up and ask about our order and after doing so it arrived shortly after. The restaurant also shares an outdoor area with a dance bar or something, and lots of their drunk patrons wander out and just hover around you when you're eating. Shouting, falling on you, blowing smoke at you and dropping ash into your food and just in general made for a very uncomfortable experience. I'd recommend this place if you were wanting to have a night out and were more focused on drinking and grabbing a small bite while doing so. I wouldn't recommend it as a place to sit in for a dinner.

It was delicious and cozy under the heaters.

Service is very good. The food, on the other hand, defies description. Everything fresh from the factory

A dream!! The Argentine steak was a phenomenon in terms of taste Just like the Lemon Garlic Chicken Here you will be fed and the service is very friendly. We were spontaneously passing through and I have to say I have rarely eaten such a wonderful steak. Music not too loud, courteous and tidy staff Tips are left here Thank you ❤️

Super friendly service, food varied and very tasty. Are there 2 to 3 times a year, always consistent quality.

Tall, narrow waiter. Was unfriendly when taking the order and I made a mistake when paying. I then said that it was the wrong bill, he couldn't deal with that and got upset.

Waiter unfriendly, doesn't listen to what you say and doesn't ask.

Coming back after 5 years and this place is still just as awesome if not better. Fantastic vibes, great service, amazing cocktails, polite and welcoming security staff. This DJ is just simply the best!

Was back in this restaurant after a long break. The conditions were friendly and accommodating. A great location because you can really sit in the middle of the action but still enjoy cocktails and food in peace.

The ambience looks great, really very nice! From midnight you will literally be thrown out of the summer terrace, regardless of whether you have a 2l bowl of alcohol (35€) in front of you or a 7€ glass. Without warning that you have to leave at midnight, without communication, you will then be fobbed off with 2 cups with the words "I didn't have to offer." Waste of his money and luxury goods.

Food (Caesar's salad and burger) was very good, service (plenty available) took an extremely long time / was inattentive, despite the tables being about 1/3 occupied.

Why is my review deleted? I'll keep it short: if you want to do yourself and your friends a favor, avoid this shop. Ready-made patties from the supermarket, rocket sticks, the ends of lettuce, everything was in this burger. My girlfriend didn't want salsa on her burger but wanted a different sauce. Since this was not franchise compliant, she received a dry burger without any sauce. Pictures were attached, but problematic Louisiana removed my pictures. Juice shop

Nice and friendly 👍 Cocktail 👍 Burger and truffle fries 🔝😋

I only gave 3 stars cause the menu says coffee is made with frischmilch but it clearly tastes like it's made with H milch, it's no wonder any coffee shop in the city serving coffee made with fresh milk vs H milk is busy, cause coffee made with H milk doesn't taste good to me

The food was very tasty. And the service was very nice.

There were two of us here and we felt like we were in good hands. You could sit inside and outside. The staff was very accommodating and the food was good. Price okay. The music didn't have enough of an American flair for me, but that's also a matter of taste.

We made reservations for 40x people. Unfortunately only 1x waiter was available (probably due to illness). Accordingly, we had to wait a long time for drinks. (The 1x waiter made an effort) In addition, the tap for the beer broke...the food was ok. However, it only came in stages. In other words, they couldn't eat together. I personally found the portions to be a bit small. Likewise, no “table” could be erected as promised. We sat with 40 people at wobbly, high tables lined up next to each other There was no call in advance that there were personnel problems. We then stopped there and moved to a nearby brewery. In this respect, I would unfortunately not recommend the Louisana for larger groups!

Great food, good service, automatically added their own tip to the bill without mentioning it to us....

The Luisiana – A bit old The Luisiana in Düsseldorf's old town has its own charm, which is unfortunately somewhat marred by the outdated ambience. When you enter the restaurant you immediately notice that the interior could desperately use a refresh. The furniture and decoration seem to come from another time and no longer really fit with current trends. The menu offers an attractive selection, but some dishes could use some modernization. The quality of the food is consistently fine, but the presentation and creative preparation could definitely be improved to complete the overall picture. The service was friendly, but the waiting times were a little longer than usual. It seemed like the staff were a little overwhelmed, which is understandable on a busy evening but still leaves an impression. Overall, Luisiana is a place with potential that would certainly benefit from a renovation and an update to the menu. Anyone looking for a nostalgic ambience will find a certain cosiness here. However, for guests looking for a modern experience, the place might be a bit disappointing. I hope that Luisiana will make the necessary changes in the future to become contemporary again.

Super friendly staff, ended up in this restaurant out of spontaneity and of course took advantage of happy hour. Highly recommended

Very nice atmosphere and very nice place. All the staff are very helpful. The food (we got burgers) great! Approve!

Great place, nice American food and drinks, smiling service, good location.

The online menu is not up to date. Unfortunately, the card was shortened without it being online anywhere. The burgers were tasty, but the fries were unfortunately a bit dry. In addition, even though you ordered sweet potato fries, you got normal fries. Maybe it was worth an experience, but not again.

Was here for the 4th time and the food was great again! Beautifully and tasty prepared and the service is also 1a. Very friendly staff and incredibly competent.

Best fried chicken burger ever, delicious cocktails.

A nice, cozy New Orleans style pub experience. The food was seasoned and cooked with a good amount of spices but not greasy or overly done. My only complaint would be if they go for the Louisiana vibe they would add jombolia, and maybe a Po Boy's sandwich to the menu. I also had the feeling that jazz music from New Orleans 🎷 or piano music was missing in the place.

The food was very tasty and delicious. The restaurant is quiet and the ambience is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and I can only recommend it! ❤️❤️

We've been here on every Düsseldorf city trip so far but this time it wasn't so great. The service depends extremely on the employee who serves you. In our case it was great but at the next table you could clearly tell that he didn't feel like it. The music is way too loud. It was only half full and you had to shout at each other to have a conversation.

Great restaurant on the Rhine. The drinks are delicious and the service is in a good mood... ideal for relaxing and enjoying.

Good tapas, nice service... noisy environment! :-)

Very tasty food, everyone had 750g spare ribs and the cocktails were also great

We really enjoyed our food. Beef ribs were amazing. Tasty and plenty of them. Chicken Ceaser Burger was also tasty and juicy and big. Really pleased we chose to eat here. Service was very friendly but probably would have had a few more beers if we'd been asked. Atmosphere was OK but we were sat near the club next door so we mostly heard the music from the club rather than the restaurant but, was nice to be sat outside. Take some change with you if you need to pop to the loo... the lady outside the toilets was well unimpressed that I had no cash.... awkward. Definitely recommend.

Yesterday the two of us had dinner outside at Louisiana. Since we've been there before, but only for a drink, we thought we'd give the food a try. We ordered pasta, which was great and tasted extremely tasty and filled us up! Now we come to the service, which was borderline! At first it was business as usual and there was nothing wrong with it, but when we wanted to pay, the waiter who took our order took his time because he preferred to chat with others in a corner. Well noticed the eye contact and the request to pay, so it was clearly visible. My companion and I love to tip, but we didn't think it was appropriate this time. After a while the waiter came, but to let the people next to us, who came later than us, pay! Then finally it was our turn. My companion paid in cash and when she asked for change because the waiter made no move to give it out, the waiter just mimicked her and literally threw the remaining money on the table and walked away insulted and without a word when we pointed out that such a thing was happening behavior would not be necessary! The waiters there are usually always polite and friendly, but this one treats a guest like a dog because of a €1.50 tip! Impossible and unheard of!!

Very nice service. It was a great evening.

Very friendly Nice service in a cozy location the spare ribs were re-fried or something like that they were crispy and not fall of the bone ok in terms of glazing it didn't look like anything too bad the taste was ok but not special, price was a bit too high for these ribs.

Top food, great atmosphere and the people were very guest thanks mehmet

Had a wonderful afternoon eating and drinking, it was all fantastically delicious and the service was excellent!

Food is excellent but sorry to say the staff got rude attitude. They doesn't care the customer waiting too long to take the orders. Seen many people getting up and leaving after multiple requests to attenders but still they don't care 😐.

Just a normal burger, nothing extraordinary. Long waiting time

Great citizens at reasonable prices

Great fun. Wonderful visit. A definite must see while in the city.

I had a burger with fries. I have to say it was very tasty. The service was on point and extremely friendly. Cocktails are also very good.

Food was top. Very friendly service

Nice Burgers and Cajun Chicken, tap beer and large tvs for football 👍🏻

In contrast to a restaurant in the area which, at least in our case, was very family-unfriendly, .... we felt very comfortable here. Friendly, child-loving employees. Nice atmosphere, good menu, delicious food.

The service and the ambience completely convinced us that evening. The entire table of 16 people was served food promptly and at the same time. An incorrect side dish was changed immediately and the dish was ready to eat 2 minutes later. The service was very friendly! With the Frozen Pornstar Martini I would have expected more passion fruit and the champagne in an extra shot glass. The caipirinha was served in a small glass… which we didn't quite understand. Afterwards there was a Long Island Icetea, which also came in a long glass.

Food: You usually only find convenience products on the menu, but you still had a cheeseburger that was well presented in terms of taste and appearance. Service: The service was professional and quick. The toilets, on the other hand, didn't seem hygienic (as of August 8th, around 4 p.m.) Ambience: We sat outside with a view of the beautiful old town. Unfortunately, this was the only positive thing, as sitting comfortably, eating and talking was out of the question. Musicians stand in front of the shop and think they have to put on their show while you just want to eat comfortably and in peace. In addition, we were harassed several times during the approximately 30 minute stay by people who wanted change (drug addicts, Roma, rose sellers). The staff noticed this, but tolerated it. It would be nice if the staff sent these people away so that the guest can eat in peace.

Been there very often, always super satisfied so far. However, last time I encountered an impossible operation. Rude and incompetent. We politely pointed out that the table was dirty and whether she could clean it. However, she wanted us to order immediately. We couldn't order because we couldn't look at the menu. He then said that we could look at the menu without putting it on the table, aggressively taking off the remaining glasses that were already on the table from the previous guests (there was no other free table on the terrace , except for one, which was too remote for us). There was no response to our request. After a few minutes, we politely asked again for the table to be cleaned so that we could look at the menus in peace. It was said that she had a lot to do and she asked in a loud tone if we wouldn't see that. We then waited another 20 minutes, but nothing happened. No reaction. We got up and left. There were four of us there, three of us (including me) also from the catering industry. Everyone has a bad day, but politeness was apparently too much to ask. We won't be coming back again. A pity.

Absolutely horrible place, bad service!! 0% recommended!!! Employee very unsympathetic and unfriendly. Music way too loud. We waited 50-60 minutes for the food. The employees were never there, so we always had to wait an extremely long time to order something. And when we wanted to pay we first waited 10 minutes until someone was there and then another 10 minutes until she came with the bill. Just wanted to grab something to eat but ended up spending 2 hours there. Never in my life again!!!

Were eating here for the first time. Staff very, very friendly and quick, atmosphere very nice and clean. The food was fantastic. Price performance great. We'll definitely be back 🥰

The service was a bit slow but understandable since it was a bit crowded. But the food was delicious

The restaurant offers tasty dishes at a fair price, though it doesn’t fully capture authentic Cajun flavours. It’s a decent choice if you’re craving something close to the real deal.
