Fischhaus
About
The Fischhaus is a beloved seafood restaurant located on Bergerstraße in Düsseldorf’s historic Altstadt, where a century‑old fishing tradition is preserved. Guests are welcomed into a charming, heritage building that once housed Carl Maassen’s fish shop and today offers a warm, Mediterranean‑inspired dining experience with distinct German touches. The restaurant showcases a wide array of fresh fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, all sourced from sustainable, certified suppliers and prepared daily. Patrons can enjoy the menu in one of four distinct areas – the intimate Bistro, the elegant main Restaurant, the sun‑lit Terrace, or the spacious Fischhalle beneath a glass dome – each providing a unique atmosphere. The Fischhaus prides itself on continuous service. While the warm kitchen is open from noon until 9:30 pm every day, the dining rooms operate daily from 12:00 am to 11:00 pm. Reservations are recommended during peak periods but are not mandatory, and tables can be booked directly through the online reservation button on the site. The setting, combined with the freshest catch of the day, makes the Fischhaus a must‑visit destination for seafood lovers and those seeking a slice of Düsseldorf’s culinary heritage. Whether dining indoors or al fresco, guests are delighted by the restaurant’s blend of tradition, quality, and hospitality. The Fischhaus continues to uphold the principles of George Bernard Shaw’s adage – “there is no sincerer love than the love of food” – by serving seasonal, regionally sourced ingredients in a relaxed yet refined environment.
