Café Madrid - Düsseldorf

Apfelstrudel was great with a cup of coffee. Really, a nice place to take a break in over your journey in Düsseldorf. Inside of the Cafe Madrid is also really enjoyable being discovered.

The soup was so salty and greasy I simply couldn't eat it, and the Wiener Snitzel had an odd smell. Unfortunately I had to pay for the food, they offered me a free coffee.

Overpriced drinks and the waitress asked us how much we wanted to pay after she gave us the bill. She said: we have to work for it She did not respond well to my comment: you have a salary My girlfriend was so shocked she...actually gave a tip. Never have I experienced this in any place anywhere in the world!

Absolutely the most ignorant staff in Dusseldorf (and that's saying something, considering the heightened level of ignorance in the city). We called in for some light lunch, what a mistake! We were a group of seven, including some with different dietary needs (two vegans). After...waiting over minutes to have our order taken, explaining our vegans needs (one was a vege burger, without a sauce). Another minutes our drinks arrived, then during the following minutes food was served one at a time, some of it cold. But the worse part was the vege burger arrived after minutes as a patti on a black bun, no lettuce, tomato. The patti was actually a chicken burger!!!! CHICKEN to a vegan FFS. Avoid this place like the plague, lousy food, disgraceful service.

Back in Duss. for the Christmas markets, popped into Café Madrid for lunch. Service quick and efficient as usual. I had a Serrano burger which was full of flavour and I enjoyed it very much. My wife was not so impressed with the veggie burger...which lacked in flavour. The black bread looks interesting but does not have an outstanding flavour, more of a gimmick. Had they served a chilli bean burger it would have been better than the low end veggie type. Apart from that Café Madrid is always nice to visit and always has a good atmosphere with good staff.
