Great restaurants for goose dinner

A November without a traditional dish is not a real November. So: Let's get to the roast!

Red cabbage, dumplings, roast goose: If there's one dish that - along with pumpkin, perhaps - is a fall classic, it's this one. Many restaurants take reservations weeks in advance to guarantee the high demand for the season's highlight. In Düsseldorf, too, there are a number of tempting places to eat, six of which we would like to introduce to you here. But, as mentioned, if your mouth is watering at the mere thought of crispy roasted poultry, don't hesitate and make your reservations as soon as possible so that you can answer the all-important question: breast or leg?

Steel mill 

When does a meal become a tradition? In the seventh year at the latest! The Stahlwerk celebrated this anniversary in 2021. At the event location in Lierenfeld, you can enjoy goose breast or leg and any number of side dishes such as red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, dumplings, cranberries, goose sauce or fat. We would like to repeat that: as many side dishes as you like! Alternatively, the cooks will also prepare sauerbraten and a vegetarian alternative, namely napkin dumplings in a mushroom cream sauce with spring onions - just in case you or a companion are looking for alternatives. A dessert rounds out the dining experience.

Brewery Fox Hunt

A Sunday roast - as the name suggests - is theoretically available every weekend. But a goose is one of the highlights of the culinary year, for which the anticipation cannot be great enough. In other words, if you dream of your favorite dish for twelve months, when the time comes, you can really go for it. The Brauhaus Fuchsjagd follows this motto, where you can eat as much of the goose, dumplings, red cabbage and gravy as you like until you go home with at least three to four kilograms more. The restaurant in Eller charges 29.90 euros for the dish, which is so popular during the St. Martin's Day celebrations. If you prefer to dine within your own four walls, the VEEDELSBOTEN will also deliver the menu conveniently to your home for 26.90 euros. And for about 120 € there is even a whole goose including side dishes. What does the brewery owner Thomas Papagrigoriou say about his offer? "This is the best goose dinner in all of Düsseldorf!" And who knows, maybe you'll soon feel the same way?

Stappen

Animal welfare also plays a decisive role for many people when it comes to the traditional goose dinner. The Luegallee in Oberkassel is not the only place to enjoy a relaxed meal in this respect. The meat comes namely traditionally from the "Gänsepeter" from Rommerskirchen, thus from regional, kind-fair attitude. From October 27 to the end of December, you can enjoy the dish with dumplings and red cabbage as well as chestnuts and marzipan baked apple. You can get a whole goose including side dishes for 4 to 6 people for around 245 euros, and a single goose leg for 38 euros. All we can say is: juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside - what more could a gourmet's heart desire?

Frankenheim brewery bar

"Hooray for the geese!" is also the motto at Frankenheim Brauereiausschank from October 28. On the menu are goose breast or leg with potato dumplings, cherry balsamic red cabbage and Brussels sprouts or the "bourgeois variation" on kale. The portion with side dishes is available for around €30 per person, and a whole goose for €144. A tip for a particularly romantic experience at the Brauereiausschank on Wielandstraße: the "Gans schön romantisch" series of events, where you can enjoy the delicious traditional dish every Friday and Saturday evening in the glow of a sea of candlelight.
