We got a table for 4 people at short notice for New Year's Eve and had a lovely meal. Map was slimmed down, but leaves you wanting more.
If you like eating steak, this is the place to eat (good) 👍🏻
I wanted to give this restaurant a try on a Saturday evening. Unfortunately it was closed and looked abandoned. Then QR code link to their menu leads to a website saying the menu does not exist leaving the impression its permanently closed.
Our steaks and the side dishes were excellent and of a very high quality. Above-average friendly service. Price-performance ratio fits.
Highly recommended!
Several of us went there over the weekend and ordered all the steaks medium.
Unfortunately, they were more medium-well. Perhaps we should have ordered "medium-rare," but unfortunately, that option wasn't listed on the menu.
It was only truly medium in the thickest part (see photo).
Otherwise, it was okay; I liked the ambiance, and the side dishes were good.
Great service! Extremely delicious and a really green and tasty pepper sauce. 👍 Super nice service and pleasant atmosphere. Parking spaces are few and far between and the road closure is not particularly beneficial, but access is guaranteed. Absolute recommendation!
The trading post is located on Duisburg's inner harbor, which you have a beautiful view of from the restaurant. The interior design is solid in a positive sense - solid, cozy, with lots of wood and pictures on the walls, unobtrusive. We felt very comfortable.
The charming service in the factory also contributed to this to a large extent, as they gave us very friendly and competent advice and answered all of our questions about the individual courses.
As I said, we were there for the gourmet cuisine at a low price and accordingly took the 5-course tasting menu at a price of €85 per person (that's about the “low price” from Radio Duisburg's Instagram ad). The minimum number for the tasting menu is three courses for €55 per person. To be clear: We were not disappointed and the food is definitely worth the price.
The spelled bread with “burnt butter” in the first course “Bread and Circuses” was delicious and we were already thinking about repeating the course, but then we decided not to because there were 5 courses in total.
Course 2 (“Ackergold”) and 3 (“Miso Power”) were varied in taste and just as convincing. Definitely try it!
From our point of view, there was a small dip in course number 4, the umami prank, which consisted of a piece of beef, light cucumber kimchi, smoked hollandaise and a kind of potato croquette in umami stock. The meat and the “potato croquette” tasted less inspiring compared to the other courses, which were much more refined in terms of taste, and were more reminiscent of “home-style” cuisine. However, the excellent dessert (“warm and liquid”) more than compensated for this.
Our conclusion about the Fabrikei in general and the tasting menu in particular: You definitely have to try it out.
We will definitely come back and are already looking forward to the next menu. Compliments again to the kitchen and the service for this very successful evening.
