An absolute must to have the Sunday morning breakfast over here. Please note that getting a reservation is (nearly) impossible. If you manage to get in, expect nothing but the best.

Einer meiner absoluten Lieblingsorte in Düsseldorf! Der tollste Ausblick auf den Rhein und die Stadt. Ist halt ein Museumscafe und da darf man keine kulinarischen Spezialitäten erwarten. Ich liebe das Ambiente dort und es wissen so wenig Leute von dieser kleinen ruhigen Enklave mitten in der historischen Altstadt. Man kann zum Frühstück ( erst ab 11.00), Lunch oder Kaffee und Kuchen kommen, es gibt italienische Gerichte und natürlich auch einfach nur ein Glas Sekt oder Bier....an bestimmten Tagen braucht man den Eintritt ins Museum nicht zu zahlen. 3€ bzw. 1.50€ ermässigt. Aber nicht weitersagen! ;-))
