The glutenfree patisserie is just amazing. They have so much glutenfree bakes as cakes, breads, buns and so mich more. The coffee is good as well. Highly recommended!
Very good self-service burgers. In summer, there are few options for cooling off other than the excellent, supposedly homemade ice tea. My colleagues with intolerances were happy about the gluten-free option.
Lovely little cafe with the nice feature that everything is served completely gluten-free. First there was a burger (1x chicken and 1x normal beef) with potato wedges and homemade mayo. We also had the chickpea curry with sweet potatoes. Afterwards we each took a piece of different cake to take home with us.
My wife has never eaten crumb cake anywhere else and was absolutely thrilled. The chocolate and nut cake were also great.
The next day we tried the homemade waffles. Great taste here too, as a non-Zölli person I tasted almost no difference in the waffles and cakes compared to dishes that contain gluten.
The service was great on both days.
Definitely a recommendation if you are in Düsseldorf.
I was ill for a long time and had no idea I was gluten and lactose intolerant.
When the doctor told me I would have to avoid these products for life, I was devastated.
I felt sad, restricted, and somehow excluded.
But then I discovered your café – and suddenly, joy returned!
I can finally enjoy myself without fear or deprivation.
Thank you for creating such a special place.
I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart, and that many more people may find this happiness with you 💜
Separate baking area for gluten-free stuff so that there’s no cross-contamination. EVERYTHING in the cake display was gluten-free and well labelled with allergens. Cake absolutely delicious and staff knowledgable about coeliac and about how strict you’ve got to be with cross-contamination. I almost burst into tears honestly: lovely lovely spacious place with a wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. Brownies, cheese cake, tiramisu, cupcakes, strawberry cream cake… I had lemon cake with chocolate biscuity base (DID I MENTION GLUTEN-FREE?!) and it was fabulous.
A super nice café. I always enjoy coming here. Since I have to follow a gluten-free diet, I really appreciate the wide selection of cakes and breakfast options.
Very delicious vegan food! You can indulge in vegan indulgence here, and the dishes on offer are different from standard pizzas, etc. They offer a variety of toppings.
Also suitable for people with gluten allergies! The staff was immediately aware of my companion's celiac disease and asked what she could eat and how the dishes were prepared, and they were able to provide helpful advice.
We usually always make reservations, but spontaneous visits are usually no problem, depending on the time of day and the time of year. It's also possible to order food for pickup via Wolt (I think).
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted very warmly in the entrance area on the canal side and then shown to your table, or to a free table without a reservation. Seating is available both inside and, in the summer, outside on the two-story terrace. If it's a bit cooler, you can ask for a blanket. Ashtrays are also available if needed.
As for drinks, soft drinks, homemade lemonades, standard beers, wine, and cocktails are available. No one will go thirsty here.
The burgers and side dishes are mid-range in price, but you also get a lot for your money. Both the portion size and the quality are second to none. The cheese, for example, comes from the Hafenkäserei in Münster, and the other ingredients are also mostly sourced locally. As for the food on offer: there are all sorts of burgers (gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan if needed), potato fries, sweet potato fries, nuggets, and much more. It's definitely worth taking a look at the menu (it's available online in German and English).
The ambiance is great, and especially in the summer, sitting on the terrace in the evening after a really good meal is incredibly pleasant. When it's busy, the noise level is naturally a bit louder, but still far from that of a construction site or a nightclub. Otherwise, the restaurant is tidy and clean.
The staff are very friendly, seem extremely satisfied with their work, and will go the extra mile. This is reflected in the quality of the food and service.
We've eaten at Hochstapler several times and would definitely come back.
Too good and warm welcome. Plus this restaurant has a large gluten-free menu which is rare. We can enjoy it as a family with my sister who is gluten intolerant.
I like the fries. They are a little thicker. The sauce selection is great and all cold sauces are gluten-free - generally the allergen labeling is excellent!

Very tasty tapas. Three or four (depending on which one you choose) are enough to fill you up. Perhaps they should at least expand the dessert menu to include ice cream, to provide a cooling alternative in the summer. And the ambiance could also be improved a bit. But the food was truly delicious, and gluten-free options are also available, which is certainly a plus for many.
I would come again
