Rubens in Düsseldorf

If you are looking for a really good restaurant, with very good service and a nice atmosphere, good food and are prepared to dig deeper into your pockets, you will definitely find what you are looking for here and will also be satisfied with a five-course meal.

Second time visiting this restaurant, which I highly recommend until my last visit. Although the service and ambient were exquisite, I found the all the courses heavily salted this time. I wish the chef and servers had considered our feedback to improve the dishes that were served later in the evening. This could have improved our experience and customer who would have been happy to visit again with more guests.

On the occasion of a milestone birthday, we were guests with a group of 11 people in the vault for a 5-course menu. We liked the ambience of the separate room. We were very impressed with the quality of both the food and the service. The selection of wines is considerable. It was a successful evening that will be remembered fondly. We'll definitely be back soon.

Underrated food spot in Düsseldorf

Top Essen, sehr freundlicher Service, alles war einwandfrei. Wir hatten Schnitzel, Tafelspitz, Kaiserschmarrn, alles wirklich sehr lecker! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Super nice service. This is a great place to come and eat from the menu. The dishes can also be changed to pescatarian (fish) instead of meat with advance notice. Food was fresh and tasty. Large selection of Austrian wines. A reservation is recommended. Price-performance ratio is good. Any time.

wir sind begeistert von dem guten Service dem phantastischen Essen und dem wunderbaren Wein incl. perfekter Beratung dazu. Man geht auf alle Wünsche ein kommen immer gerne wieder Ein absolutes MUSS wenn man Düsseldorfer ist oder die Stadt besucht Wir fanden das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Am Ende gingen wir satt, glücklich und zufrieden nach Hause und freuen uns jetzt schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch. Ganz lieben Dank an die Menschen dort die alles sehr unkompliziert machen, man fühlt sich wie im eigenen Wohnzimmer

From the service to the food, I can only say: if you want to experience a breathtaking evening and an absolute highlight, you shouldn't miss “Rubens”! You can choose between various menus, but you can also order the dishes individually. This was our second time there in a short space of time and I can highly recommend the Signature menu! A real taste explosion, I can't describe it any other way! Special thanks to the manager of the restaurant. The warm attention to the guests and the special expertise regarding different wines make the evening even more perfect! My new favorite restaurant in Düsseldorf!

Always tastes great! Best Wiener Schnitzel in Düsseldorf.

We were there for the first time for our anniversary. The food is extremely tasty and beautifully prepared, a real experience:) The service is also in a good mood and very accommodating, you feel comfortable! We'll be back!

Everything is just right here. Excellent Austrian cuisine at a very high level. The dishes are very fine and very tasty. The Austrian wines too. Apart from the Wiener Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarren, Rubens has so much more to offer. You can easily browse through the map and be surprised every time. It's so much fun here and pampers the palate. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. It's a bit like coming home. Definitely try it out. And you won't be able to get rid of it, that's for sure. THANKS to the entire team :)

Unfortunately, the restaurant management didn't understand their job! Unfriendly and a kind of rudeness... that's not good for Rubens. The food and wine are great… the rest of the team is friendly and attentive! That already affected our evening yesterday... the way she welcomed us was so bad... everyone has a bad day... Perfection is required here on Friday evening and honestly a smile doesn't cost anything!!!. There should be a conversation here! Never forget: people buy from people… I look forward to hearing from you!

The Rubens is a first-class Austrian restaurant. The Spinach Kas dumplings have become my favorite meal and the Kaiserschmarrn is the best I've ever eaten - it rounds off the very high-quality menu perfectly. Very warm and attentive hosts in a very nice atmosphere!

The three of us were here during the week and had reserved online in advance and that was a good thing because the store was packed. The restaurant is super cozy and we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table - with a view of the kitchen. That was great! The service was friendly and quick, the food was very tasty. Great schnitzel and the Kaiserschmarrn was also a poem. We never had to wait long for drinks. So everything is great! Card payment possible.

I cannot tolerate wheat and am currently 6 months pregnant - a combination that certainly doesn't happen often. Bi but otherwise easy when it comes to food. It was an unpleasant inconvenience for me, but I'm so grateful that they made the effort to create a menu that was wheat-free and suitable for pregnant women. The Kaiserschmarrn was also prepared wheat-free for the first time today - a dream! Even my husband was thoroughly impressed. The boss himself came to the table at the end to find out how it was for us or me. I would have liked to hug him as a thank you - it was a particularly nice evening for us! The service was really great. Rarely have we experienced such polite, friendly and attentive staff.

The food was decent, but not exceptionally good. The service is not particularly friendly, clearing takes place very quickly and the high noise level makes it very uncomfortable. We had to pick the jackets we had put away from a pile ourselves when we left the restaurant. Too bad

Absolutely top class, fine dining as you can enjoy it, always nice with you!

Ein toller Ausflug in die österreichische Küche, und das in der Landeshauptstadt! Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr gute Präsentation der Speisen und sehr freundliche Bewirtung! Wir kommen wieder!

I'm still thrilled when I think about the wonderful evening and the fantastic food at Rubens! I love classic Austrian cuisine, so the “Die Heimat” menu is a real culinary wish-fulfiller. Both the Spinach Kas dumplings and the Wiener Schnitzel are the best I've ever eaten! World class! A real Austrian dream. For dessert, the world's best Kaiserschmarren. Very attentive service and a real favorite drink: Almdudler, served in a wine glass! Thank you for this special evening!

Super delicious food, super nice service, very good price/performance ratio, would love to come back

Austria at its best. Highly recommended.

Over rated and expensive. Not worth it, as the food was not special.

The food is excellent and the service was really as you would expect. Would love to come back

Unfortunately not attended as there was no space. But I'll report back as soon as I've eaten there.

Excellent food and drink, great wine selection, definitely recommend

Excellent Austrian cuisine. The staff is also very friendly. Absolutely recommended!

While looking for an Austrian restaurant we came across Rubens and can only recommend it! The service was courteous and absolutely friendly when we arrived. The owner guided us through the menu and wine list. We were also given good recommendations, which we never regretted over the course of the evening. Beforehand there was a small greeting from the kitchen, which was intended to give us a culinary foretaste of the evening. We chose the traditional 4-course menu and each course was outstanding! My partner chose the Wiener Schnitzel and when we were served we were informed by the chef himself that he was welcome to get another one - if one wasn't enough. In short: our expectations were met, if not exceeded. Price is consistent with quality and service. A little culinary trip to Styria is guaranteed in this restaurant. However, there are minor, high-level comments: We had a table in the back area, which was a bit cramped. That's fine for us, but this might put some guests off.

Very nice people, always courteous. Food excellent. And if you can't decide, just ask. The recommendation was a great fit. Thank you for a very nice evening!

The Rubens impressed us with its authentic Austrian cuisine and charming ambience. The food is freshly prepared and tastes like a short vacation in the Alps. The Wiener Schnitzel and the Kaiserschmarrn were particularly highlights – simply perfect! The service was also attentive, friendly and made the evening a pleasant one. The cozy ambience and tasteful furnishings invite you to linger longer. Absolutely recommended for anyone who loves Austrian cuisine or simply wants to experience something special!

Good Austrian food! Service very friendly and no menu requirement.

The food was really excellent! No matter whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. The schnitzel is particularly recommended!

Tolles Essen aus Österreich, super Qualität und super Service. Gute Österreichige Weine und Schnäpse. Reservierung immer erforderlich.

Good food, great service. People very flexible.

Very tasty Austrian cuisine. Wiener Schnitzel was delicious. The Kaiserschmarrn is a sweet dream... Of course there are also delicious local drinks to go with it. The atmosphere is cozy, modern. There are also very nice seats in the basement. In smaller rooms. For a smaller company. Staff very attentive and friendly. So, as a Cologne resident, I would love to come back.

An absolute highlight in Düsseldorf. Austrian cuisine meets gourmet cuisine. Not cheap, but excellent value for money for Düsseldorf. Plus excellent service and lots of great ideas. The prices for wines are very good, as is the selection.

Het een feestje om hier te mogen dineren. De smaakbeleving wordt compleet gemaakt door het opgediend eten. De ruime keuze op gebied van vegetarische gerechten. Het vriendelijke personeel maakt het helemaal compleet. Een echte aanrader om eens heerlijk te gaan eten. Michelin ster waardig❤️

We really liked it, great atmosphere, very friendly staff and very good food. If you like Austrian cuisine, this is the right place for you.

Überaus freundlich und ein ganz tolles Essen. Wir saßen im Weinkeller-Raum! Wir waren eingeladen und aus Aachen angereist. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

A great restaurant that offers star quality food and service. Absolutely recommended!

Was soll man sagen. Wenn es mehr als 5 Sterne gäbe, würden wir auch 7 oder 8 vergeben. Die Location sehr ansprechend, das Personal überaus freundlich und das Essen ein wahres Gedicht. Wir hatten uns für eine Nobis-Ente (ganze Ente zu zweit) entschieden und wir haben noch nie (und wir gehen regelmäßig auch in besseren Lokalen Essen) so eine perfekt gebratene Ente gegessen. Ein wahres Gedicht. Vorspeise und Gruß aus der Küche wären ebenfalls sehr, sehr lecker. Hunde sind nach vorheriger Anmeldung ebenfalls erlaubt. Besser geht es fast nicht.

Great food, very courteous staff

A truly extraordinary experience from start to finish! Each dish presented a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef’s mastery and creativity. The ambiance exuded sophistication, making it a perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. The staff’s attentiveness and knowledge added to the refined atmosphere, ensuring every moment was seamless and enjoyable. While I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, I did find the tiramisu a bit strong on the alcohol side, which overpowered the coffee flavor I typically love in this dessert. Additionally, I was a bit disappointed that oat milk wasn’t available for my cappuccino, as only regular cow’s milk was an option. One minor suggestion would be to offer an alternative to Axe chocolate as a refreshment in the WC to match the elegance found elsewhere in the restaurant. Beyond these small notes, I was thoroughly impressed and will absolutely be returning!

Very good food. Everyone was immediately helpful and attentive. Wonderful anniversary evening.

Wir waren mit der Familie im Rubens. Nach einem Österreich-Aufenthalt diesen Sommer muss ich sagen, dass das Rubens meine durchweg großartigen Essenserlebnisse dort nicht erreichen konnte. Besonders enttäuscht hat mich das Wiener Schnitzel, das beim ersten Durchgang mit labberiger Panade auf den Tisch kam. Das zweite, das ich mir bestellt habe, um zu schauen, ob es auch besser geht, war dann nicht ganz so schlimm aber von gut noch immer weit entfernt. Ein Lob verdienen einzig die Spinatknödel mit Käsecreme. Das Personal war freundlich und bemüht, einen Pluspunkt auch dafür. Den Hype um diese Location kann ich allerdings nicht nachempfinden.

We were there with the family (3 couples) and everyone had a 4 course menu including wines. The bill ended up being €660. It was full and loud, more like a pub at a family celebration... a guest with us was sitting between two pillars... no waiter could serve him correctly. After I told the boss that the bottle served (Zweigelt Barrique) lacked the note of wood, our relationship that evening was disturbed. No matter, there were ups and downs in the menu sequence...well, the deserts were inferior to the Viennese schnitzel....The crust was sticky and inedible after 1 minute...even a portion that was ordered shortly afterwards was sticky and far from crispy. Appetizers such as veal tartare with mackerel were OK and the halibut was also praised by the guests. The pork belly miniature that was in the oven for 48 hours was bad...the crust was dry like wood and not crispy...the fat outweighed the meat, luckily the piece was only the size of a praline. I became aware of an article in the FAZ and traveled 200km and gathered the family there and everyone was looking forward to the food. Those who were on holiday in Carinthia this year were particularly disappointed (“the food at the mountain hut was great better)……PS.: None of the young people took a photo of the food or posted anything on social media….and that is probably the worst review for the evening.

Very good food and outstanding service. We each ordered a 4-course menu and were absolutely thrilled with every course. The kitchen was also very flexible when it came to special requests and the waitresses had a good eye for empty glasses. A visit is something special and you should allow enough time when ordering a menu. We'll definitely be back.

Great Austrian restaurant in Düsseldorf. We sat in the Stuberl and chose two 5-course menus and one a la carte. The absolutely great thing is that the 4 menus on offer can be combined with each other. The dishes were well presented, prepared with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail and tasted great. Particularly noteworthy was the veal schnitzel, which was extremely tasty. The service was also outstanding, attentive and competent.

We had a very nice evening at Rubens. The service was extremely friendly and did everything to ensure that we got a nice table even without a reservation. The schnitzel and the Kaiserschmarren were a real highlight – perfectly prepared. There were also side dishes that were perfectly coordinated. As a guest you feel absolutely welcome here and can fully enjoy the atmosphere and the food. We'll definitely be back!

A fantastic culinary evening with perfect attentive service. Our four-legged friend was even thought of; water bowls and treats were prepared at the table. Great combinations of different flavors that all go perfectly together. Matching wine recommendation, which was a complete precision landing. Dear Rubens team, keep it up - we'll definitely be back.

Austrian cuisine with a twist. Very well interpreted. Large Austrian wine selection. Cozy room in the basement

This restaurant and its hosts are simply the best that Düsseldorf and Austria has to offer. Great ambience with outstanding food and a team that leaves nothing to be desired. There are Austrian specialties and old cuisine reinterpreted. A real treat. The hosts know their products from the FF. For us the best restaurant we know. The price is high, but worth every euro. A great experience.

Excellent restaurant, good service, Austrian food, very tasty and varied, I recommend it

Really great. Fantastic food meets top service in a wonderful ambience!

It was my first time experiencing Austrian cuisine. The staff were hospitable and served great food. I would like to thank my colleague for inviting me.

This has very little to do with Austrian hospitality. The atmosphere is cool and uninviting. The strange horseshoe arch columns in the dining room are irritating. In any reasonably well-run Austrian inn you feel noticeably more comfortable and, above all, you eat better. A beautifully laid table looks different. There were four of us and so I was able to try different dishes or eat them myself. Some things, such as the potato salad with the Wiener Schnitzel or the pumpkin soup with the goat cheese strudel, are served in such small portions that it's almost embarrassing. In Austria you would never have side dishes placed on the table in a doll's tableware. You don't do something like that. Hospitality also means, among other things, wanting to give the guest more rather than little. Frittaten soup and Viennese schnitzel are served here in a quality that will bring tears to your eyes, but unfortunately not to make you happy. And when the breading of the Wiener Schnitzel is as thick as the meat, then you immediately know that it's no longer about enjoyment, but rather just about the landlord's satisfaction. As the saying goes, highly overrated. The prices, including the wines, are butter and pepper. The whole thing is nothing other than Austrian nonsense.

A great restaurant, not cheap but top cuisine, super nice service, a dinner to remember

Great service, very good food. Perfect evening!

A really nice restaurant in the middle of Düsseldorf. The service and food are great. Friendly and warm from the start.

We were able to experience the full Rubens program. Pure hospitality from the entire team. It was such a lovely evening and the food was incredibly authentic and tasty. Everything is fun and meaningful and joyful and you just feel good! Thank you so much for the special evening!

Attentive and caring. This quaint setting was and amazing gourmand experience. Service at world level, chef par excellence 👌 and memorable setting that is just well lifelong memory. Thanks Rubens !!!

Sometimes it just takes too long but otherwise a great restaurant

Truly the best schnitzel in Düsseldorf and much more. Highly recommended.

The food was truly out of this world. Incredibly delicious and coordinated surprise menu. But what really stands out is the friendly staff and owners. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

As always, a wonderful evening spent with wonderful hosts and an incredibly delicious meal!!!

A very nice evening was spent at Rubens. Friendly welcome in a lovely atmosphere. There was already an amuse bouche on the table. We also had a Stiegl and a green Veltlinger sparkling wine. For starters we had Adler Fisch and the Germknödel stuffed with veal. Both with a lot Sophisticatedly prepared and very tasty. The main course was the Austrian homeland cuisine with its specialties. Very well souffled veal schnitzel and tender boiled beef. There was also a delicious recommended white cuvée. At the end there was a perfectly prepared Kaiserschmarrn and a good cheese plate. A nice trip to Austria that we enjoyed. Thank you for the good service.

If you want to get an idea of ​​Austrian food art, you've come to the right place We had the 4 course menu (because we weren't that hungry... ) and were very excited. Certainly not a diet, but then you shouldn't go out to eat if that's what you're looking for Very warm service and also very attentive

The proximity to the art palace made us stop here, the guide gave the hint. We regretted it, on the contrary. The Rubens is a really nice Austrian restaurant. Perfect service! Nothing more needs to be said on the subject... but it has to these days. Attentive, not intrusive, friendly, not fake, motivated, not trying hard, fully booked, not overcrowded. It's just true here. The food is at a very good intersection between modern and classic. Great sauces, stocks, broths and soups. Braising is a perfected craft here, the side dishes offer either great contrast or nice underlining and the pastries are fun and happy. The ice cream served with it is incredibly creamy and tasty. If you get a chance at sorbet: do it!!! Large! The wine list is beautifully curated, could perhaps be a little more ambitious, but then you are very much in our personal niche... The wine has to be drunk too. The calculation here is also very fair, that should not go unmentioned, as should the large selection of non-alcoholic treasures from Jörg Geiger, who we highly value.

Really delicious restaurant, the best I have tried in Dusseldorf. It offers traditional dishes with a modern twist, with beautiful and really effective presentations. Excellent service. An evening to remember

Just WOW couldn’t get any better.

From the outside the restaurant looks inconspicuous, but inside there is a real gem of Austrian cuisine. I went there with a friend and had one of the best culinary experiences ever in Düsseldorf. The schnitzel was the best I've ever eaten and the starters were exceptional too. To top it all off, there was Kaiserschmarrn as dessert. I look back fondly on this evening and look forward to coming back soon. Absolute recommendation!

Super delicious food paired with great service. Unfortunately a bit loud, but otherwise a perfect evening

Amazing food and great service! Nice small selection of modern and traditional dishes. I went for the veal tartar (with herb ice cream!), wienerschnitzel, veal stew and kaiserschmarrn, all were great. The servers were both very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I will definitely come back here the next time I visit Düsseldorf!

Wir waren vor ein paar Wochen zum ersten Mal in diesem Restaurant und waren von Anfang bis Ende rundum begeistert. Man kam herein und wir haben es als sehr angenehm empfunden, nicht direkt neben speisenden Gästen zu stehen und auf den Empfang zu warten. Dann wurden wir nach unten geführt, wo wir unseren Tisch neben den Weinregalen vorfanden, was ein sehr schönes Ambiente bot. Zudem saß man etwas abseits und hatte eine angenehme Ruhe. Als Paar war das sehr schön und angenehm. Apropos Weinflaschen: es gab ausschließlich österreichische Weine, was ich ebenfalls toll fand, denn davon hat Österreich ja nun einiges Gutes zu bieten. Das Essen konnte man entweder als Menü bestellen oder sich aus den Menüs einzelne Komponenten zusammenstellen. Wir haben ein Menü gewählt, konnten aber auch hier die Hauptspeise austauschen. Das war alles extrem unkompliziert. Die Beratung bei den Weinen war ausnahmslos ein Treffer! Das Essen war ein Gedicht. Alles hatte hervorragend geschmeckt. Wir fanden das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Am Ende gingen wir satt, glücklich und zufrieden nach Hause und freuen uns jetzt schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch.

Paul was awesome, gave insightful recommendations for the wine and the menu was delicious - a modern, but still traditional Austrian kitchen. Especially the starter were fabulous. Also the contact with Cornelia Baumgart was great - she managed to get all our 13 people into a fully packed Saturday. Great job guys!

Great food and great service from Paul. If we could we would give more than 5 stars! Happy to come back!

Thankfully, tables are only reserved for a time slot of 15 minutes. Otherwise you would never get a place. Service is solution-oriented and very good. Unfortunately it takes a while between the starter and the main course, then you hardly have time for the Stiegel or the Grüner Veltliner. Always a successful evening. Cheers!

A truly outstanding Austrian restaurant in the center of Düsseldorf, in the premises of a former bank. We sat in the former safe room, which had been converted into a wine storage room, and felt very comfortable there throughout the evening. Rubens combines the classics of Austrian cuisine to create new, visually and tastefully appealing creations. Every walk becomes a poem. For the main course I ate a combination of Tafelspitz and Viennese veal schnitzel. It was the most delicious schnitzel I have ever eaten.

At least I feel that this location is a bit overrated, especially since me and my friends already know a number of restaurants with corresponding Austrian cuisine in Germany. The desserts and wines were consistently good to very good. The main dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel in a duet with boiled beef were rather average. A boiled beef the thickness of a slice of cooked ham cannot be a taste experience. The original Viennese disappointed us all, as it is so often mentioned here as the non plus ultra.

Excellent Food and Service. We’ll definitely be back!

A culinary delight. Nice and courteous service! There's also a quick chat with the boss. Great restaurant. Clear 5 stars.

Der Empfang war wie gewohnt herzlich und wir wurden zu unserem reserviertem Tisch geleitet. Küche und Service in gewohnter Qualität trotz voll ausgebuchtem Restaurant. Rubens- immer eine sichere Bank für Kulinarik.

Unser absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant seit Jahren. Jeder Besuch ist ein wunderschönes Erlebnis! Essen und Service sind erstklassig.

Our absolute favorite restaurant for years. Every visit is a wonderful experience! Many thanks to the great hosts and the warm team.

You have to try deserts and apricot snaps! The food and service were awesome.

One of the best Wiener Schnitzel and the best boiled beef I have ever eaten. Super attentive staff and a super friendly owner who isn't above clearing tables and accompanies guests to the door as they leave. Inconspicuous from the outside, but absolutely recommended.

It was a great evening at Rubens - and certainly not the last. Since the food is of the highest standard anyway, I didn't take any photos. Much more important: - Great, competent and open-minded service - Funny atmosphere in the vault - The wine list is great

Excellent service and very good food are available here. Jörg Geiger's excellent non-alcoholic products are also offered.

That's what I call a creative implementation of Austrian cuisine. Nothing completely crazy, just surprising creations. The yeast dumplings in Brathändl foam..., simply surprising and great! Service was top & attentive. We were called back by phone because a table could be organized for us for our spontaneous and very short-term request. It would be a shame if we would have missed such a great meal. It's a shame, this great restaurant is 450 km away from us...

All the flavors simply go perfectly together! Excites the palate! And the white asparagus full course menu— the best you can find! I’m still dreaming about the miso hollandaise sauce. Amazing team of hospitality. One of the best restaurants in Düsseldorf! Always yummy, always a good time.

Very tasty and authentic Austrian food. Service was great, we will definitely come back.

The service is very knowledgeable about the products used, the wine advice is great and the atmosphere is very cozy and nice. I don't even have to talk about the food - the pictures speak for themselves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice Austerich resto in Duesseldorf!

The food and drink has a search factor...

Very pleasant atmosphere, good and attentive service, first-class food. A Düsseldorf gem with a dedicated owner couple who both work very hard for this wonderful restaurant. Thank you!

Top service, nice atmosphere and very tasty food. I can definitely recommend Rubens!

Very good price-performance ratio, very good, friendly, approachable and competent service - especially the wine advice, varied menus

We had a great evening, with great food, attentive and very nice staff. Here you can escape everyday life.

I was there with my wife on a Tuesday. 1. The service employee at least us had was extremely competent. The right wine for your meal suggested the expertise too Drinks and also with every course. You just see great things these days unfortunately increasingly rare. 2. The ambience There are 2 nice quiet ones in the basement Rooms with a few tables, e.g. for couples with an all-round view of the entire wine Range. Of course you can also go up there Sit in the restaurant if you want. 3. The food itself We chose the 7 gear Surprise menu decided. And what can you say, it was real first class. This culinary delight Every gear perfectly coordinated Whether visually or tastefully great. You have to say, in terms of price, it's not exactly cheap, but they also work with high-quality products. So value for money is completely appealing. I would have paid more for it too. So thank you very much and see you next time

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there yesterday and were more than satisfied. The waiter was extremely competent and always friendly. The dishes are all prepared with attention to detail and are incredibly tasty. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely come back.

Incredibly good food and super nice service. We'll definitely be back.
