How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
1876 Daniel Dal-Ben
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred address near Düsseldorf's zoo district, 1876 Daniel Dal-Ben earns its star through a set menu that layers Italian and French technique with occasional Japanese accents. The room is intimate and unhurried, the front-of-house attentive without formality. The "Cicchetti 1876" starter has become a fixture, and the kitchen's use of herbs and flowers signals a kitchen that takes aesthetics as seriously as flavour.
Agata's
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Agata's holds a Michelin star for the second consecutive year in 2025, placing Chef Philipp Lange's creative cooking among Düsseldorf's most recognised fine dining addresses. The restaurant sits in the Kirchfeld district, operating at the €€€€ tier alongside a cluster of other starred contemporaries that have quietly repositioned the city on Germany's fine dining map.
Im Schiffchen
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Im Schiffchen sits in Kaiserswerth, Düsseldorf's northern riverside district, holding a Michelin star and back-to-back Opinionated About Dining Classical rankings in Europe for 2024 and 2025. Chef Jean-Claude Bourgueil runs one of the city's most formally anchored dinner services, Tuesday through Saturday from 7 pm. At the €€€€ price tier, it competes with Düsseldorf's small cluster of starred rooms rather than the broader mid-market.
Jae
1 Michelin star
Jae holds a Michelin star for both 2024 and 2025, placing it among Düsseldorf's most consistent addresses in the upper tier of fine dining. Chef Jörg Wissmann works in a fusion register on Keplerstraße 13. For the city's starred circuit, it is a table worth securing in advance.
LA VIE by thomas bühner
1 Michelin star
LA VIE by Thomas Bühner holds a Michelin star (2025) and a We're Smart 5 Radishes recognition for its plant-forward modern cuisine at Schlüterstraße 1, Düsseldorf. Resident chef Timo Fritsche drives the kitchen's seasonal plant-based programme, placing the restaurant in the narrow tier of Düsseldorf fine dining where vegetable-led tasting menus compete on the same level as classic European formats.

1 Michelin star · Deep wine list

Setzkasten
1 Michelin star
Setzkasten earned its first Michelin star in 2025 under chef William Shen, placing it among Düsseldorf's small tier of destination modern cuisine restaurants. For the €€€€ price tier, the competition is thin and the standard is high.
Yoshi by Nagaya
1 Michelin star
Yoshi by Nagaya holds a Michelin star and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among Europe's top 600 restaurants, placing it in the upper tier of Düsseldorf's Japanese dining scene. Sitting at Kreuzstraße 17, it operates in a city that hosts one of the largest Japanese communities in continental Europe, giving its kitchen an unusually direct connection to ingredient sourcing and cultural context. The gap between a lunch visit and an evening meal here is worth understanding before you book.
Zwanzig23 by Lukas Jakobi
1 Michelin star
Zwanzig23 by Lukas Jakobi has held a Michelin star in consecutive years (2024 and 2025), placing it among Düsseldorf's most consistently recognised creative kitchens. Chef Nicolas La Rocca leads the restaurant at Brunnenstraße 35, where the format sits at the €€€€ tier.
