Muggel in Düsseldorf

Trendy café with excellent food and great people.

The vibe is nice but the food is below average

"Unfortunately, my visit to Café Muggel was very disappointing. The owner Alex showed unfriendly behavior, which made the stay unpleasant. The food was also average at best, and the service left a lot to be desired. It's a shame, I had hoped for more."

Super nett, gutes Frühstück, ob klassisch oder orientalisch. Hund willkommen. Sogar einen Parkplatz in der Nähe gefunden. Wir würden es immer wieder machen und auch sehr empfehlen.

Service was a bit slow, but after the boss said it worked. Smiling costs nothing

Regarding the food: Unfortunately, it wasn't as varied as hoped. My sandwich was quite dry overall. My husband had a fried egg on bread, and the only side dish was two small pickles and half a mini tomato. For the price, you'd expect a bit more fresh side dish or salad and a sauce. Regarding the service: There's nothing to complain about here; the staff were friendly. We were able to sit down without a reservation. Regarding the ambiance: We sat by the window, I on a bench with my back to the outside, and my husband on a stool looking out. Next to us were two other guests who were having an incredibly loud conversation, playing a video on their phones with sound. Then the woman next to me, who was also sitting on the bench, kept shaking her entire body so much that the entire bench shook continuously. Of course, when you go to a public restaurant or bistro, there will be other guests there talking. These two, however, were noticeably very disruptive, which is why I wish the staff had made a statement about it (hence one star deducted for service). Furthermore, one of the tables by the window was reserved. The guests with reservations arrived, but there was still no table available. The two disruptive guests next to us said they would pay, but then chatted with the waitress for so long and stayed seated, continuing to chat, that we paid quickly and left so the other guests could sit down. This was, for one, poor organization. If I have a reservation, I don't really want to have to chase away other guests, and here, too, the behavior of the guests next to us was extremely rude. This experience, along with the mediocre food, left a bad impression on us. And please, this bench by the window urgently needs to be made wobbly.

Again and again. Sit outside in the sunshine.

Great evening, would love to come again

Nice cafe in Düsseldorf Oberkassel. Sat outside. Not as expensive as usual in Oberkassel.

The living room in Oberkassel, always top

very good address. serious and smiling service. the food in general and the fish are excellent. the entire menu is refined and the cuisine is well crafted. very good value for money

Always nice, very good food, great price-performance ratio, very nice service

I went here with my girls and this place did not disappoint me at all. I just loved everything about this place, it is just worth going here. The French toast with fruits is just out of the world. I’m surely gonna take my husband here to make him taste the food here. The staff(waiters) are English speaking so that is a plus

Mega! Rustic, delicious breakfast and really nice staff

Not what it used to be. Unfortunately…

Great breakfast (taste and appearance). At lunchtime it was quite noisy due to high occupancy.

A very great café, very tasty breakfast, which is very lovingly prepared and very nice service! You should definitely make a reservation.

I had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant and it was an exceptional experience in every way. The establishment is cozy and tastefully decorated, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu offers an excellent selection of dishes prepared with fresh and high quality ingredients. Each dish was a true taste explosion, perfectly balanced and presented with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable: perfect waiting times and always friendly and attentive staff. The price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate for the quality offered. A special thank you to Lizia, our waitress, who made lunch even more enjoyable. With her professionalism, friendliness and warmth, she pampered us from start to finish. She was always attentive to our wishes, was able to give us competent advice and made the service perfect. If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy delicious food and receive a warm welcome, this restaurant is the perfect choice. We'll definitely be back!

Unbeatable price for Düsseldorf - The two of us shared the big breakfast and each got a hot drink and together we stayed just under €20. Great for a delicious breakfast, great selection of cold cuts, cozy atmosphere, very friendly waiter! Happy to come back :)

Clear recommendation from me. We were there for dinner in the evening. I have to say, Angus Geschnetzeltes was extremely tasty...I haven't eaten something so good in a long time. My friend is a frequent guest there and also raves about it, it was his guy and I'm very impressed with the location. Thanks for that.

Muggle is an institution. I have been visiting the café since 1979 when I was still a student. Here you can chat wonderfully with hot cocoa or a cold beer, along with a little something to eat. There also used to be the uncomfortable, famous basement cinema, which unfortunately has turned off the projector since Corona. It's a shame actually.

Everything as always since and ever!

The breakfast is still good. The staff was inflexible today with a larger group (8 people), seemed irritable and was very rude. The mood was tense. Relaxation factor = 0. Been there for the third time. Could have been the last time.

Although I am from Düsseldorf, yesterday on Tuesday January 14th, 2025 I was in this Loksl with a friend who often comes there. And I can share your enthusiasm. The service staff were very attentive and quick. It was full and yet our food came quite quickly and hot. However, a reservation is recommended. I would go back at any time. A wonderful evening with delicious food in a cozy, rustic atmosphere.

The food tastes good, breakfast is highly recommended. There are fresh orange juice and specials.

The food was delicious, but the service was unfortunately completely overwhelmed and stressed. Everything took a very long time.

Very nice atmosphere, good service, great breakfast. I can only recommend it

Really very good, the food and the service was great.

You should definitely make a reservation here in advance for breakfast outside, as the great breakfast is popular. And that's no wonder! The breakfast is a hit! There is everything your heart desires, from breakfast with everything you can think of, appetizingly prepared, to pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sandwiches, etc. The service is very nice. The prices are more than reasonable for what you get. An absolute recommendation!

To share we had bruschetta, then chicken masala and veal liver with salad. Everything wonderful and with delicious sauces. Best service and fair prices for the wine too.

The waiters are so rude, not helpful.

Friendly service, good tasty food, nice guests!

Top service, authentic ambience and mixed crowd

The food was very tasty Very crowded and very loud on a Saturday evening.

7 Tage die Woche Vollgas von Alex und seinem Team. Immer freundliches Personal und ein tolles Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Zudem eine sehr individuelle Küche - von deutscher, italienischer oder asiatischer Kost, alles dabei 👍👍👍

Gladly again. The address is and remains in Oberkassel. Breakfast plentiful and tasty. Small but good selection of tea

Very cozy, good food, nice people, always quite full and therefore a bit stressed but friendly service

Muggle has been our favorite restaurant for years. Whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner - everything is just right here. Excellent cuisine - lovingly prepared plates and only the best, selected ingredients. Always friendly and attentive service in a very nice atmosphere. The whole thing with a very fair price-performance ratio. Always my pleasure. 😊 Evelyn Hoffmann

Every Sunday a cozy breakfast and a beer. Always full and the service a bit stressful but very complicated. Food good. Ambiance and very cool in the evenings.

Delicious saffron risotto with shrimps. Great service surrounded by nice people...the muggle is always good.

Quaint, unique, good. You have to have been there. You always come back.

Blasierter geht's nicht!!!! Arrogante, absolut unfreundliche Bedienung hinter der Theke: Es gab viele freie Tische, die scheinbar nur einem bestimmten Publikum zuteil sein sollten. Das ist der arrogante Teil Düsseldorfs!!! Nein danke!!!

Very tasty food and great people who do an excellent job in service. Thanks so much. You're really good.

Delicious food with good drinks and a great atmosphere. However, always very crowded and fairly inexpensive.

Nice atmosphere, very nice staff and above all the food was top. The sweet potato ginger soup was a hit

The service is unacceptable and extremely disrespectful, exactly what Germany has achieved because money (cheap staff from abroad) is the only thing that counts instead of good quality. They insult customers out of nowhere and for no reason. Not recommended if you're looking for a good atmosphere to enjoy a drink, for example. And that in the center of Oberkassel...

Very nice location, great breakfast, delicious other dishes, friendly and attentive staff. Small drawback. Every now and then there are dog owners who let their dogs bark incessantly, which disrupts conversations.

The Café/Bar Muggel in Düsseldorf impresses with an excellent breakfast menu and varied, delicious evening cuisine. Particularly noteworthy are the carefully prepared dishes and the large selection of good drinks. The service is extremely courteous and friendly, which makes the stay even more pleasant. The location and good connections make the Muggle an ideal meeting place at any time of the day. A real insider tip for connoisseurs!

Review update: Unfortunately, things have gotten even worse here! The bread with the delicious dip was only served almost at the end of the main course today and then I didn't need it anymore. The main course pork medallions with truffle sauce was unfortunately also a joke!! Hardly any meat on the plate and it's really tough!! The truffle sauce also had significantly less flavor than usual. It's a shame to see this downward spiral from my point of view!! The food here is always really tasty and looks very appetizingly prepared. You can always really look forward to it. The lightly toasted bread with the delicious dip is also just great!! The ambience invites you to linger, if it weren't for the smokers, especially those with pipes. Unfortunately, the tables are sooooo close together that you have to allow yourself to be completely smoked. When asked about this by the staff, unfortunately they didn't do anything. It's better to lose non-smoking customers than to "put a smoker in his place"!! What a shame!!!! Update #3! Now guaranteed the LAST experience in this store!! Here you really seem to live the clichés that people say about the Oberkassel district!! This, it seems to me, with complete conviction and satisfaction! I wanted to eat there again today, even though I've often had very bad experiences recently. Because the food, you should be careful, is really good and tasty there! Unfortunately, you don't even get to enjoy the delicious food because the waitress is trying hard to drive away the customer as best as possible. When I wanted to sit down at a table at 11:58 a.m. that was reserved for 1:30 p.m., the waitress there immediately chased me away because the guests would be arriving very soon. To be honest, I didn't want to spend 1.5 hours there for my lunch break, I just wanted to eat and go back to the office. When I found a seat that wasn't reserved, I was astonished to hear the waitress gossiping about me to her colleague. When I then wanted to speak to the managing director, she suddenly identified herself as the managing director. Unfortunately, insight wasn't a plan and I was rather expelled from the store with the remark that they had enough customers and didn't have to rely on everyone. From my point of view, a very interesting statement, which makes me really ask myself whether there are really that many customers who let everything be done to them!?

Just nice to sit there and a very appealing selection of drinks. Food could certainly be better, but it's not a restaurant, more of a brasserie in my opinion.

The food is really delicious, especially the Asian rice dishes. Since it is always quite full, you should definitely make a reservation. (Especially outside).

Unfortunately it's no longer what it once was. First the table was taken, even though it wasn't true, then you had the feeling that you weren't welcome at all. The food was okay. In Oberkassel you will always go there, otherwise there are other alternatives.

nice atmosphere at really good prices in Oberkassel, unfortunately some of the staff are really unfriendly. I've been there several times now and at times I really didn't feel like I was in good hands...unfortunately also very unfriendly on the phone

A cozy place to relax. Good and plentiful breakfast, highly recommended. Seeing and being seen is very important here. Good, interesting audience. Don't be afraid to contact people, humanity is the order of the day here. The staff is friendly and quick to process. Tip, so you don't get disappointed, it's better to make a reservation.

Great service, good food. Only the vegan salad was a bit bland. Just lettuce. No sprouts, nuts or similar.

Sunday brunch with sparkling wine is exactly my meal!

Even on a Tuesday morning nothing works without a reservation. Very tasty breakfast, I'll definitely come back again.

Service unprofessional, slow and inattentive. With the terrace half full, we had to wait 20 minutes for service and were then served rudely. To top it all off, the 1/4 full glass was simply cleared away.

We were only there for soup but it was really nice, cozy and the service was very nice :)

Great lunch menu. Service was very nice, friendly and prompt! Always nice there...

We ate a salad with goat cheese and a burrata with tomatoes and potato chips very late last night. Salad and burrata were very tasty. The potato chips were made from thick slices of potato and complemented the meal very well. At the end we just treated ourselves to crème brulet and mousse au chocolate: both were very successful. The waiter often and never asked unpleasantly whether we were missing anything. Very well done!

Unfortunately very unfriendly and poor service. Not interested in solving problems, especially when things are a bit busy and stressful, the staff seems overwhelmed.

Always happy to be there for breakfast or lunch. Large selection and everything is super delicious. The service is very friendly and attentive.

The café scores with an extremely charming atmosphere and an excellent location in the heart of Oberkassel. The stylish furnishings invite you to linger, and the drinks impress with their excellent taste. Unfortunately, the positive overall impression is somewhat marred by the service. Service is often relatively slow, which is particularly noticeable when the café is busy. In such moments, the staff can seem annoyed and rushed, which slightly detracts from the otherwise pleasant experience. In summary, the Muggle offers a wonderful environment in which to relax and enjoy high-quality drinks, although the quality of service varies depending on the crowds. It's still worth a visit, especially at less busy times.

Condescending and negligent service. Ambience good. Enjoy your meal. Prices okay.

Lovely place in a beautiful neighborhood, mostly locals. Staff can be unfriendly to the non regulars sometimes.

Very tasty breakfasts. I definitely recommend it. Came here on Sunday morning with my wife. There was no need to wait, there were free tables. The food is top notch. Welcoming and friendly staff!

Very pricey to be seated on the street and rain dripping on yoy

Food good, service incredibly friendly. But the clientele is sometimes unpleasant. Spoiled nouveau riche who get into a fight with the waiter and otherwise have to present themselves loudly...

Great location, full hut in the middle of the week, better make a reservation. Huge menu (except veal liver), every drink you can think of. However, the noise level is relatively high. You have to speak loudly. Get used to it over time. Conclusion: come back soon...

You want to hear my opinion? It's becoming more and more professional, you come in as a guest, you're not even greeted, the waitress, well, I'd rather not say anything, there are 2 bored figures at the counter.

This café is an institution in Düsseldorf and more than lives up to its classic reputation! Nice ambience, great service, good value for money and therefore five stars in all areas!

We came on Saturday morning without a reservation and found a super friendly and flexible staff who found a place for us despite the full house. Breakfast was excellent and more than plentiful. Great value for money in our opinion. We'd love to come back, but next time with a reservation.😊 Hope you keep it up👍🏻.

Very tasty food. Pleasant atmosphere

Wonderfully down-to-earth. More of a coffee for the lower middle class, cheap, delicious home cooking far away from the Oberkassel chiqueria.

The name hardly gives you an idea of ​​what to expect, which makes you all the more surprised when you get there. Without a reservation it is almost impossible to get a table. But if you're used to it, customers sometimes stand at the power box with a wine and wait. Beautiful interior and exterior offer a relatively large amount of space. Unfortunately, you will notice this at some point in the service, which then takes significantly longer and the bill came after 20 minutes and two reminders. On Happy Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. each cocktail costs €8, which makes you really happy. The cocktails are well mixed and the Mai Tai is particularly good. So reserve a table and try it!

Great service, friendly staff, delicious food 👍👍👍

There were four of us there. Three of us were very satisfied. Once the food wasn't that great - a bit dry. I had the pike perch fillet. It was perfect. Also very fair prices. Pre-order advisable!

Wanted to go for wine on Friday. €9.50 for a cheap Chardonnay. No thanks. Hopefully Café du Nord, or whatever it will be called in the future, will open on Luegallee soon.

Super snobbish people, breakfast absolutely nothing special, so for the price you get a lot more elsewhere and the taste is absolutely not my thing...

Always my pleasure. Espresso Martini and truffle linguine are a blast!

Waitress simply forgets our order and doesn't notice for 20 minutes that our table hasn't received any drinks or food. After another 20 minutes and another request, my order still hadn't been delivered to the kitchen. After being hungry for almost 45 minutes, I went next door to the Greek restaurant.

Even today .. very bad service, likes to look at the floor .. dismissive and annoyed with every question .. an old lady made the number sign with her fingers .. she was harshly reprimanded "A waiter is not a dog "... Ouch

Nice place! Very comfortable and polite staff.I really liked the beautiful decoration!If you want to go somewhere for a coffee with your family or with your friends, this is a very good place!

If muggles didn't exist, they would have to be invented. In the morning the top breakfast meeting place for moms, wealthy early retirees and bohemians, at lunchtime the lawyers have a business lunch and in the evening the place where you want to be seen.

Everything is perfect in this Oberkassel neighbourhood bar, restaurant and breakfast/brunch place. Great range of openwines and excellent menu for dinner and breakfast with plenty of choice. The staff is swift and super friendly. I wish that all places would be like this! We will be back

Service top. Ambience good. Food definitely has room for improvement.

Very friendly, all the waitresses are in a very good mood! Was served quickly Food is very tasty. I ate liver... the meat was fried to perfection. Really strong!

Such a colorful, mixed audience 😁. But my favorite remains the service. 😙

For us, Muggle is one of the best breakfast cafes in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area. Breakfast is great, staff is absolutely great. It's also worth taking the longer route there. We will come back, no question. Many thanks to the entire Muggle team.

If you want to pretend to be someone, go muggle.

I'm so happy to have found a proprt breakfast place near by. For it to be so perfect is just the cherry on top. Excelent service, good food served like art. Will be coming back. And dogs allowed, again a plus.

Great and delicious shop. We've only ever been here for breakfast. The prices are okay, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The selection is good. There should be something for everyone. For example, you can order an estimated 15 variations of breakfast here. Vegetarians and vegans also get their money's worth here. Reservations definitely make sense.

The cult café always impresses us. This time with a very tasty breakfast. All ingredients were fresh and sufficient in quantity. The service was friendly and attentive. So it's no wonder that on a weekday morning every table was occupied. So recommendation: better reserve.

We were here for breakfast on a Sunday and were VERY satisfied. Very good breakfast a la carte at a good price with very friendly and attentive staff.

Nice little coffee, but reservation is recommended.

You can have a very tasty breakfast here in a nice atmosphere from very nice staff.

We went to Muggle for dinner on Saturday evening. The food was excellent, hot and beautifully presented. Great taste. The service was very friendly and very quick. It was a nice evening.

Went there again on Saturday, always worth a visit! :-)
