Lions Burger in Düsseldorf is definitely a place to recommend. The staff was super friendly, warm and totally personable - you feel welcome from the start.
The food was really tasty and freshly prepared. The burgers were simply great – juicy, well seasoned and of really good quality. You can tell that the cooking here is made with love.
I found the gesture particularly nice during Ramadan: there were dates and water on the tables, as a matter of course and at no extra charge. That was really attentive and left a very positive impression.
The atmosphere in the store is also pleasant and relaxed. You can eat and chat in peace.
Conclusion: If you want to eat really well in Düsseldorf, you should definitely try Lions Burger. Everything is just right – from the food to the way you treat the guests.
I've been going to this restaurant for 20 years. Four of us (aged between 60 and 93) were there for lunch at the "Volmerswerther Krug" for my 88th birthday, having made a table reservation in advance by phone. Unfortunately, our table wasn't set up in any special way for this special occasion. Throughout the entire visit, there was no personal birthday congratulations or small tokens (such as a greeting from the house), which would have been truly friendly and thoughtful.
The four dishes we ordered (two from the daily specials and two from the regular menu) didn't arrive at the same time. My meal arrived first, while the remaining three (including the birthday boy/girl) arrived without an apology, at least 15 minutes later. Absolutely unacceptable.
My dish, "Tagliatelle with Pesto," was extremely bland, only lukewarm, with a strange combination of vegetables (green beans, cauliflower, carrots, mushy cherry tomatoes), and far too fatty for me, which I naturally reported to the server.
The "Grillplatte," for example, the meat selection, was not as usual (fewer meats, dry, sausages barely browned), the Djuvec rice was mush, no longer really recognizable as rice.
The "Turkey Strips with Rösti" was okay. The "Redfish Fillet with Spinach" was also okay.
The service was friendly, but could be improved.
Another negative point in my opinion: The music in the "background" was/is, unfortunately, often far too loud to allow for a quiet conversation. I even approached them personally, but it only worked after the second visit.
Conclusion: We were looking forward to a very special, delicious lunch.
Unfortunately, WE were very disappointed overall.
The food and service are absolutely first-class. The food arrived quickly, fresh, and delicious.
Consistent quality, even the third time, and the staff are great.
The ambiance is very simple, but you're here for the food, not an art opening. 😉
If you’re in Düsseldorf and craving something like KFC—but better, tastier, and healthier—Hitchcoq Chicken is a must-visit. This small, cozy restaurant offers a warm, homey vibe with a lovely backyard where you can chill and relax, especially on a nice day.
The chicken here is absolutely delicious. You can choose your wings hot or not, depending on your mood, and the flavors are spot-on. Their coleslaw salad is fresh, crisp, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet or drowned in dressing like you often find elsewhere.
It’s a fantastic alternative to fast food, and it feels safer, cleaner, and more thoughtful in both preparation and presentation. Whether you’re looking for a snack or a satisfying meal, Hitchcoq Chicken hits the spot. Highly recommended!
