1876 Daniel Dal-Ben
Düsseldorf, Germany
⭐1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
At his chic and elegant little restaurant by the zoo, Daniel Dal-Ben serves up classic cuisine with a judicious flourish of creativity. In addition to Italian and French influences, the chef-patron also incorporates Japanese accents from time to time. A good example of interesting contrasts and harmonious balance is Cannelloni, smoked eel, Caprese foam, pumpkin seeds. He is also partial to decorating his dishes with skilfully integrated herbs and flowers. The Cicchetti 1876 starter has become a staple of the set menu. Allow plenty of time, as you may be treated to additional courses. Beyond the terrific food, the atmosphere is inviting and almost intimate. Attentive and well-trained front-of-house team.
