Best Date Night Restaurants in Carlstadt

Romantic atmosphere and delicious food. Tanica was perfect for a date night while visiting Koln.

When traveling for pleasure, especially internationally, visiting some of the better restaurants in a given town is one of my higher priorities and pleasures. I have eaten at many restaurants with Michelin stars, and I can say with confidence that Taku is in the very top rank of restaurants at which I have had the pleasure to enjoy a supremely excellent meal and dining experience. The food is imaginative, thought-provoking, delicious, perfectly executed, and memorable in all positive ways. Each course was a true delight for the taste and for the eyes. The "club sandwich" course with a kind of Tonkatsu tuna "cutlet" on perfectly toasted brioche was a real standout. The servers are exceptionally talented, hitting just the right balance of friendliness and knowledge, without being stiff or robotic or overly formal at all. Each seemed to express real personality and enjoyment. I speak okay German, and everyone was willing to switch back and forth from German to English as needed. The sommelier was a real standout, sharing his enthusiasm for the wine choices, and explaining each wine happily and well. The pour on each wine-pairing was just right too. Sometimes in restaurants you barely get enough for 2-3 sips; however, here you received a nice half-glass ~ enough to enjoy with the course and a bit after until the next course. The pacing of the meal was excellent too, with no long waits between courses. All in all, it was an excellent meal. Highly recommended.

Loved everything we ordered especially the skate entree and chocolate soufflé. Nice wine, too!

Best place for family lunch and dinner around Düsseldorf!!!

you come at peak time Saturday evening 7 pm you get the full experience of a packed pub like restaurant with the noise level like I wouldn't normally tolerate in a restaurant where food is served. However, we were told that this is the way here and all other seats had been reserved, so we stayed and tried to cope. The table was at a very busy spot right next to the point where the staff had to get in and out, so not really very comfy. Having said that, I am still happy we stayed because the staff was super friendly and attentive with a local attitude that really turned things around. And: the food was amazing!!! I had the classic "Sauerbraten" and it was so good! Overall: Would I go back there? Yes, but not when its so busy. After 8 things already got a little bit relaxed, so if you have the choice go earlier or later than 7 pm. The place is fairly small but has an upper level too. You might be lucky and get a nice spot there.
