Oktopussy Bar & Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Phenomenal cuisine, great service, cozy atmosphere

5 stars! No more words needed! I was wondering where the good food was and here it is!!! It's finally worth paying the price it costs again. The food was pure excellence, the service was incredibly friendly and helpful and the location was really cool. Thank you for being here 🙏🏼

Very good quality but unfortunately poor price/performance ratio. Dessert (tiramisu) for €14 is just no fun anymore.

Wie immer kuschelig eng, aber nett zu sitzen. Essen war qualitativ gut, aber auch viel zu kleine Portionen. Leider wird das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis immer schlechter. Eine Bauchspeckscheibe (lecker) für 26 € ist einfach zu viel. Tiramisu für 14 € macht keinen Spass mehr, egal wie gut es schmeckt. Also in einem Wort völlig überzogen. Da hat der nette Service nicht wirklich geholfen.

Dies ist nicht unser erster Bericht über das Oktopussy. Nach mehreren Besuchen im Laufe des Jahres hatten wir einen Platz für das Silvestermenü reserviert. Der Empfang war herzlich und verlief reibungslos, obwohl mehrere Gäste gleichzeitig eintrafen. Ein Glas Crémant war schnell am Tisch und der Menüablauf und die Karte waren einfach erklärt: Aus drei Vorspeisen, drei Hauptgerichten und drei Desserts konnten zwei Vorspeisen, ein Hauptgericht und ein Dessert gewählt werden – insgesamt also 4 Speisen und ein Gruß aus der Küche. Dazu gab es eine Getränke-Flat, bei der zwischen zwei weißen und zwei roten Weinen gewählt werden konnte, Kaffee, Wasser und Bier waren ebenfalls in der Flat enthalten, ebenso wie ein Glas Crémant zum Empfang und zum Jahreswechsel. Nun könnte man meinen, dass die Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken etwas knapp bemessen war, aber alles war so geschickt zusammengestellt, dass jeder seine Highlights finden konnte. Und als Gesamtpaket muss man wirklich sagen: Das war klasse! Auch der Service war erstklassig. Keine Wartezeiten, individuelle Pausen zwischen den Gängen wurden berücksichtigt, Getränkenachschub kam sogar ohne Nachfrage und pünktlich um 12 Uhr hatte jeder der rund 50 Gäste ein Glas Crémant in der Hand - und das alles in gewohnt sympathischer und entspannter Art in gewohnt cooler Atmosphäre. Man sollte wissen, dass es im Restaurant auch Hochtische gibt, die einem zugewiesen werden können und auch, dass an diesem Tisch weitere, fremde Personen sitzen können, was bei uns aber bisher immer ein positives Erlebnis war. Auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war unschlagbar. Für uns ist das Oktopussy eine absolute Empfehlung.

Ich war Mittwochabend, nach einem langen arbeitstag noch auf ein paar bierchen und ein paar leckereien im Oktopussy. Ich kann nur sagen, der tag hätte gelungener nicht enden können! Ich hatte einen unglaublichen teriyaki schweinebauch auf spinatsalat. Voll auf die zwölf, der beste schweinebauch den ich jemals gegessen habe! 😋 Dann hatte ich noch hervorragende tagliatelle an einer cremigen sauce mit trüffeln. Als dessert noch die empfehlung des durchweg aufmerksamen, aber stets lockeren service: Vanillecreme mit mangosorbet. Nochmal eine gaumenfreude und somit auch ein schöner abschluss. Alles war insgesamt schön angerichtet und geschmacklich superlecker, ohne aber überzogen zu sein. Das war jetzt mein drittes mal dort und immer hat alles perfekt gepasst. Außerdem eine schöne, urgemütliche atmosphäre. Ich kann nur sagen, ich freue mich schon darauf wieder nach düsseldorf zu kommen! 😀

Thank you for the lovely evening

My favorite restaurant from now on! Extremely pleasant service and a wonderful, cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. There I tasted the most delicious and interesting food of my life. Great attention is paid to each dish. Each ingredient tastes special and has its own character. Special thanks to the chef, staff and owner of the restaurant for a wonderful evening. I want to try everything on the menu now))) You should definitely visit this restaurant!

Everything was very good: attentive, friendly service, delicious food with absolutely fresh ingredients (tuna and scallops, raw) and unusual, clever combinations (octopus with prunes). Very tasty French white wine at a fairly acceptable price. The only small drawback: It is very narrow and there are about half/half comfortable benches with backrests and chairs and unfortunately benches and high chairs without backrests😏 Still a very nice, enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back...

We were completely satisfied! The restaurant & bar offer a great atmosphere, friendly service.

The dishes (corn, shrimp soup, octopus) were all very tasty. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent food and phenomenal wine selection combined with warm service! We always enjoy coming back.

It was our first time at Oktopussy and we didn't regret our decision. Very nice atmosphere, warm hosts and delicious food. We would love to come back.

Very very very tasty food, regularly changing dishes, great ambience and we like to come here often! Simply great!!!

Great food, really nice service, especially Gio is a real gem. And he really knows his way around the wines! Clear recommendation!!!!

Octopussy Düsseldorf is an excellent restaurant with excellent food and a stylish ambience. The dishes not only taste great, but are also attractively presented. Perfect for both a business dinner and a romantic meal for two. Absolutely recommended!

Relaxed atmosphere with very fresh and high quality of the food. I go to the restaurant there with both colleagues and my wife.

We had a very nice evening with great food and delicious wine. The service was super accommodating. We'll definitely be back 😃

Great place for a romantic dinner but also for a friend meet up. The staff was very polite and attentive, paired with a great drink selection and a solid tasty menu. Highly recommend it!

Gehbehinderte sind dort unerwuenscht 2 Tage vorab reserviert, 15 min vor der Zeit eingetroffen wollte man meine Frau mit Gehbehinderung an einen Hochtisch setzen. Ich sagte dies sei nicht möglich, woraufhin man den Tisch an der Theke ebenfalls Hochtisch anbot. Da ich diesen erneut wegen der Behinderung meiner Frau ablehnte wurde man pampig und der stark alkoholisiert Mitarbeiter meinte ich haette due Behinderung bei der Reservierung kommunizieren müssen. Ich bat darum uns ein Taxi zu bestellen nun kam ein weiterer Mitarbeiter aus dem Hintergrund ging auf mich los und bedrohte mich meinte dann er wuerde die Polizei holen ich entgegnete ihm das dies auch in meinem Sinne sei da er mich bedrohe. Wir hatten insgesamt 30 € Taxikosten Diese wuerde ich sehr gerne erstattet bekommen Ich kann jedem nur abraten, Dort hinzugehen

Absolute reservation chaos on Friday evening - was blamed on the online reservation). Various guests had to leave without a seat. The food itself is really good and attractively prepared. But I have to agree with the many previous speakers that the ratio between price and quantity of food is absolutely not appropriate.

There were four of us on Saturday evening and we had reserved in advance. All 4 had a starter and a main course. The food was nicely prepared and OK. However, all starters and main courses are only suitable for people who come hungry and want to leave hungry. It's nice when everything is beautifully presented, but people are hungry too. The octopus was good, served with a touch of puree. At 220 euros for 4 people, a feeling of satiety can be expected. We sat at a long table on backless bar stools in front of the toilet and cloakroom. The passage behind us was so narrow that I was bumped into about 20 times in the 1.5 hours in the restaurant. I'm not complaining about high prices, but definitely too many no-go's.

Excellent restaurant with super nice service and a good atmosphere in the store.

A great evening with great food and great service.

Very tasty, beautifully presented and large portions. Service was absolutely nice and always attentive, despite the store being full on Friday evening. We'll definitely come back.

As always - but also on New Year's Eve... - we felt very comfortable and had an excellent meal. 1000 thanks and kind regards Carina and Michael

We had the most wonderful NYE experience. Great Food, nice people, charming atmosphere.

Very tasty duck leg and super nice service. Great ambience! Come again!

The food was good, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the price-performance ratio

What a great place, really fantastic food. Went for dinner with friends. Small place and you may get seated with others.

Always really good, food atmosphere and service great, only top rating is possible

Very good food, I have tried the Salmon, Octopus and Risotto- all was very good quality and tasted delicious. The restaurant was packed and the staff handled it very well. For vegetarian the Risotto was to the point and very tasty. Thank you!

Very good food, great service and a great atmosphere! I'm very excited. Always my pleasure :)

We were there with a larger group and everyone really enjoyed it. Food, service, wine and the atmosphere were great! Thanks to the great team!

Very tasty food, but unfortunately a bit uncomfortable and loud. The staff was super friendly and tried hard. However, the seating (bar stools) and sitting close together with other guests are very uncomfortable.

Great service and great quality of food and drinks. Impressive wine list. Gladly again and again.

Very friendly welcome and a great atmosphere! The staff was attentive and sociable. The food was excellent: beef tartare as a starter, octopus as a main course and at the end a delicious mango sorbet and a crème brûlée. Taste and quality at the highest level. I'd love to come back!

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und eine tolle Atmosphäre! Das Personal war aufmerksam und gesellig. Die Speisen waren hervorragend: Rindertatar als Vorspeise, Oktopus als Hauptgang und zum Abschluss ein köstliches Mangosorbet sowie eine Creme Brûlée. Geschmack und Qualität auf höchstem Niveau. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Since I've eaten at Oktopussy quite often and it's always been very tasty, I wanted to try the thing that appealed to me the least among the starters: fried corn. I wasn't expecting anything special and then I could have put myself in the plate. Class. But actually, as expected. I ordered the tagliolini with scallops as a main course for the third time. Fantastic every time. The atmosphere in the small restaurant is wonderful. Full marks

Stylish restaurant with a good mix of comfort and elegance. Courteous service and good food. All in all, an enjoyable experience that leaves nothing to be desired.

Food mediocre, seating too tight for 2 people, price/performance ratio not good.

We had a lovely evening with super nice service.

Cold reception A woman places us at a table with a bench in the middle. We asked to be placed at a table with chairs with backs, something she did not like. She says that they are always full and that we are not allowed to change tables even though the restaurant was almost empty, only 3 people inside. It had barely opened. My reservation had been made more than a week ago. In any case we couldn't taste the dishes, we left so early

Amazing seafood restaurant, I like the octopus dish and is tender. Good service and dining experience.

Top Laden! Der Service war hervorragend – freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Qualität der Speisen war ausgezeichnet. Wir hatten jeder eine Vorspeise und einen Hauptgang, und alle Gerichte waren geschmacklich auf den Punkt und sehr ansprechend angerichtet. Sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die Wert auf gute Küche und Service legen.

Cool, nice ambience, nice restaurant, good atmosphere! Excellent food, really very good. Absolutely recommended. However, the price is comparatively high.

This was our second time at Oktopussy and we are absolutely thrilled! The food is incredibly good! The service is very friendly and attentive and the wine selection is also great 👍🏻👍🏻 we will definitely be back!

Wonderful location with good food and fabulous wines. The staff is courteous and gave you good advice. Unfortunately it quickly becomes quite cramped and it's not easy to linger in the middle of the room, so we ended the evening somewhere else.

The seating is very cramped, the whole store is way too crowded and the furniture is not comfortable (benches and high tables). The reservation for the next slot was already on the table. That seems uncomfortable. Service was quick, that was the only positive thing. I had the octopus. This came in more of an appetizer portion. Side dish: half a tasteless unseasoned tomato and 10 cucumber slices. Plus 4 olives and a spoonful of tzatziki. The octopus itself was tough and on the grill for too long. My husband had pasta with spinach and scallops. The dish was completely unseasoned and the mussels were of frozen quality. Price performance is not right here at all. We didn't order dessert anymore. 14 euros for a mousse au chocolat is also pretty excessive. In this price range, the bread should not be charged in advance at 2.50 euros.

We felt completely comfortable! The food was delicious and special and the service was super friendly and attentive. A large selection of wines rounds off the evening. We would be happy to come back, we are already looking forward to it!

Top Lokal! Top Bedienung! Sehr aufmerksam, jung und freundlich! Essen war super, außer die Tonate, die war matschig, aber gut, wir haben Oktober und nicht mehr Somner! Geschmacklich toll! Wir mussten etwas länger warten, da gab es zwischenzeitlich einen Gruß aus der Küche. Sehr aufmerksam. WIR KOMMEN GERN WIEDER!!!

That was a really great evening!👏🙏 The food was great - in quality and quantity - and the service was great. We had a great time with “all-round care”. Many thanks to the entire team!

Excelente comida, bebidas y ambiente. Un restaurante de mariscos con una excelente oferta para vegetarianos! Tuve una maravillosa selección de comida y bebidas en este restaurante divertido y acogedor. No puedo esperar a comer aquí de nuevo : )

Wir hatten eine Reservierung für 20.00 h zum Essen mit Freuden doch waren bereits um 19.00 h da. Haben dann im Außenbereich etwas getrunken und das Personal informiert bezüglich der Tischreservierung. Wir haben um 19.40 das nächste mal auf unseren Umzug in das Restaurant hingewiesen und um kurz vor Acht ("der nächste Tisch ist Eurer"). Das Ende vom Lied war um 20.20 h "leider ist grade nichts frei". Wir sind sind durchgefroren und sehr enttäuscht mit einer Flache Wein für 10 € als Entschädigung hungrig wieder gegangen..

I loved it!! I went for dinner during a visit to the city. I really liked the way it was decorated, the atmosphere was very good. The food was 10, I ate the octopus and it was very good. We also shared some tapas before the main course and everything was delicious. The service was attentive and quite fast for the number of people there. If I'm in the area again I'll be back!

It was super delicious! The food is a treat! Unfortunately only small portions (some points deducted) Starter - fresh bread still warm with oil Main course- Tagliatelle with corn-fed chicken and truffles Dessert- Mousse ou Chocolate (actually the largest portion proportionally considered) Nice atmosphere and great service

The Oktopussy restaurant offers really delicious food - the quality of the food is excellent and everything was beautifully presented. However, I found the portions a bit too small for the price. For what you pay, I would have expected more. The service was very friendly and attentive, which still made the visit pleasant. Overall a good experience, but the value for money could be better.

Very good and attentive service, the drinks were brought quickly. Clear portion size, but everyone experiences it differently. Absolutely great taste!! I'd love to go back here!

Perfect birthday evening with excellent food and great service! Thanks!

There was some surprise that both the bread and the amuse gueule were canceled. Are you serious? Please think about it again. Otherwise everything is fine.

Everything is consistent! Great service, delicious food and great ambience. Despite the fully booked terrace, there is plenty of space and very relaxed!

Great, very attentive staff. Excellent starters and outstanding main course! Very fresh and tastes just perfect.

Completely satisfied. Service and food were great!

Everything was simply excellent! Great combination of spices, fresh ingredients and composition! Really fine and can only be recommended 🎉🙏

Food great, atmosphere very pleasant, staff friendly and helpful, food top. Happy to come back <3

Spinach dumplings were ok but not for the price.

Beautiful outdoor area like a little oasis in the city. We went there on bicycles because parking is difficult there. Small menu with 4 dishes per course (starter, pasta, main courses). We were surprised that there wasn't just fish dishes. The teriyaki beef was great, and the other dishes were also beautifully prepared and extremely tasty. Very large wine list. Also attentive, friendly service.

Delicious food and attentive service. However, the desserts are a bit overpriced at €15 and table water for €7.90 is also borderline

Great service! Top drinks and outstanding food! Big praise

The food is very tasty! However, it is always very crowded and therefore quite loud, but the food is simply great. Unfortunately, the service has deteriorated significantly in recent years - a real shame.

An absolute delight for the good cuisine lovers in Dusseldorf. Excellent ingredients curated together for a modern twist on Italian, French and International cuisine, while respecting the essence of the main ingredients. Wonderful ambience on the dreamy, quite terrace and cool atmosphere inside. Will come back to have again this taste explosion and high end seafood.

The food was very good, my octopus was great! The service was very friendly, funny and quick! Thank you very much for the lovely evening!

It's super sweet to sit outside, the truffle pasta is to die for!!! And the service was great too. I can definitely recommend the restaurant :)

The ambience, service and the truffle pasta were to die for. We can also highly recommend the Hugo. The prices are a bit higher than average, but it's really worth it. We didn't find the restaurant crowded at all.

Very nice atmosphere and a great host. A few more vegetarian alternatives or salads would be desirable. There was a small error on the bill, but it was corrected immediately and excused with drinks on the house. Overall a very nice evening.

Thank you for the beautiful summer evening with you on Gneisenaustrasse. Food and service excellent. We will definitely come by again.

Super tasty food, but the portions are a bit too small for my taste. (From the truffle pasta as well as from the dry age steak) (Starter also, buffalo mozzarella and pork belly with sesame) But it really can only be recommended. The taste was unique. The service was very nice and attentive. Always happy 😇

In our opinion, the price/performance ratio was not justified. 270€ for 4 people and no special food. It's a shame, I remembered it better, which is why we chose this restaurant. We came especially from Munich

Nach 14 Jahren und ungezählten tollen Abenden wird es Zeit Danke zusagen an Sven, seit kurzem auch wieder Axel und das gesamte Team. Der sicherlich beste Oktopus in Düsseldorf, die unglaublichen Variationen von Thunfisch und überhaupt die fantastischen Fischgerichte. Dazu eine feine Weinkarte und nicht zu vergessen der immer grandiose Service

Service unfassbar toll, unkompliziert , professionell!! Essen immer gut. Gefühl: Portionen werden etwas kleiner. Reichen aber!

A very cozy atmosphere with very good service. However, the food was too expensive for what you get and I wasn't full!

Super delicious food: the octopus was more tender than I've ever eaten it before and the salmon also tasted great. Great service and nice to sit outside in summer. It's a shame that there's such a big construction site next door at the moment. But in the evening there is no construction noise and hopefully it will be finished soon. We would like to come again.

The salmon fillet with truffle vinaigrette and mashed potatoes and spinach was highly recommended! The menu is small but nice. I also really liked the service, we would definitely come back.

Das Essen war geschmacklich lecker und schön angerichtet auf den Tellern serviert worden. Leider sind die Hauptgänge nicht ausreichend um satt zu werden. Daher finde ich das Preis Leistungsverhältnis nicht ok. Ambiente und Personal alles super. Waren mit 6 Personen da und hatten 450€ gebraucht. Die Männer sind alle noch hungrig gewesen.

Amazing food, amazing service! We will be back soon😁

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere, gladly again!

Very good food: Vitello Tonnato was great - the best I've eaten so far. Not quite typical, but great. Salmon with side dishes was exceptionally good and the truffle pasta was also very tasty (and even without a truffle flavor, like everywhere else, but with real black truffle). Sitting outside was very pleasant, blankets were also provided, everything was very harmonious. Service was very friendly, even though it was busy. We were pleased that there were also non-alcoholic aperitifs. The only possibility for improvement: the online map was not up to date.

Always delighted with the quality of the food, drinks and friendly service. Unreserved recommendation!

It was very busy today, but the staff were very nice. I wanted to try the octopus because it's my favourite. They only had it as a starter and not as a main course. What a pity. But nevertheless it was very good and full of flavour.

The menu says Surf & Turf, but my companion only wanted steak, which wasn't on the menu. So she told the service when ordering "just the Surf & Turf steak please" - that's how it turned out, the steak was very good, but really tiny and the entire Surf & Turf menu was charged at 49.50 euros. When the bill was presented, the service was informed that this price was too much for half the dish - the service's response was that this was how it was ordered and, after consulting with the kitchen, they decided that the full price should be paid . Very strange service behavior, seems to be the house's strategy - and now the restaurant, which was only half full that evening, has lost two guests for the future. It seems you can allow yourself!

All 3 courses were of excellent quality and tasted excellent. Particularly noteworthy is the great service. Very friendly and accommodating when re-ordering drinks or serving/breaks between courses. You felt very comfortable in the restaurant and would love to come back.

Great food, beautiful outdoor area and good wine selection

We were sitting outside, and our table was right by a manhole in the asphalt, which smelled very bad. While it’s great to sit outside on a warm summer evening, the food, especially considering the price, didn’t make us happy. The overall atmosphere was nice, with some greenery, lights, and pleasant people around. However, I was very disappointed with my octopus. It was dry, cold, and there was very little sauce. My boyfriend’s pasta was just average.

The food was very tasty and good wine. Super friendly service team and very attentiveness! Reservation is absolutely necessary. I was there on Thursday evening and the restaurant was completely full. Recommendations: Seared Scallops and Grilled Octopus Parking: rather difficult

Super nice evening, great food, perfect service. Only the chairs and tables outside make it difficult to stay for a longer period of time :) Thanks

The food is excellent, the ambience is still great after all these years. What is particularly noteworthy is the team's very attentive and extremely friendly service. Thank you!

We had a Business Dinner at Oktopussy and we were super happy with the service and more than happy with the amazing food :)

Very average food + overwhelmed staff ...there are much better alternatives in the area

Good time spent at Oktopussy. Very well cooked octopus.

Maybe the best octopus dish I've ever had. There's no better way to prepare octopus. But appetizers and desserts are also delicious. Highly Recommended. Staff super friendly. We had a very nice evening. Thanks!
