The Duchy - Duesseldorf

Overall, it was a great experience from the time I entered the restaurant until I left. I started with a nice glass of Tattinger Champaign and had the opportunity to chat with the Duchy, who is the well styled hostess. She explained the ideas and history behind the restaurant theme. It was a nice conversation, and as I was dining alone, welcomed. They start the service by bringing out two types of bread with salted butter. Both breads were nice potato bread and bread with apple and black pudding (sausage). I selected the steak tartar as my starter. The meat was very good quality, and the mix of ingredients was tasty. For the main course, I chose the beef rib, which was accompanied by a tomato salad. The steak was very well cooked and seasoned which was a first for me in Germany. For the desert, it was black cherries with a warm chocolate cake and sunflower ice cream. All was good, especially the ice cream. This restaurant is expensive and a bit of an indulgence, but it used local top quality ingredients and was exceptional. I would certainly recommend it.

Excellent service and food, nice ambiance. Definitely worth the visit.

The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable…. The restaurant is clean and neat….

The Duchy was our last stop before heading back home to the states and it exceeded my expectations. From the location, the ambiance, the service we received and the food. We finished our beautiful dinner with some cocktails at the bar and it was a perfect ending to our perfect dinner.

Sehr nett, Essen ausgezeichnet, guter Wein ein klitzekleines Minus, da zum Schluss wir waren etwas spät dran) einfach abgeräumt wurde, ohne zu fragen, ob wir fertig sind… was nicht der Fall war. Denn außer unserem Tisch war nur noch ein weiterer besetzt, das war ein bisschen Rausschmeißer un)artig. Was soll’s …. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend
