    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 von 5 Sternen! Und dass völlig gerechtfertigt! Das beste Restaurant in dem wir jemals essen waren. Angefangen bei dem absoluten tollem Personal. Jeder Wunsch wurde einem sofort erfüllt und ich behaupte zu sagen sie lesen einem jedem Wunsch von den Lippen ab!! Weitergemacht bei dem hervorragenden Essen....es war ein Erlebnis! Jeder Gang wurde an Tisch genau erklärt und jede Zutat auf der Zunge gespürt! Wir hatten keine Weinbegleitung aber dafür einen Wein der uns empfohlen wurde vom Service. Der Wein war sehr sehr lecker und hat zu jedem Gericht genau gepasst. Nach jedem Toilettengang wurde einem an den Tisch ein Tuch zum erfrischen gelegt. Es war ein durchaus gelungener Abend den wir niemals vergessen werden und es war jeden Cent wert! Das Menü kostete 129€ pro Person und war daher im oberen Bereich, aber wie in meiner Rezension zu lesen war es das wert. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis, wir werden bei unserem nächsten Besuch wieder vorbei kommen.

    The first time I tried Setzkasten was during lockdown for their takeaway menu. It was spectacular and so much fun, but going in person was truly an experience. The service is fantastic, not pretentious at all like many Michelin star restaurants, friendly, warm, welcoming and informative. The chef's table was wonderful, watching the detail going into prep was fantastic, such a calm organised environment. The food was beautiful. The attention to detail, texture and taste was second to none. What really stood out were the additional touches. The smoked creme fraiche with choux pastry with craquelin was absolutely spectacular and the butters were sublime. Every course was exceptional and the accompanying wine paired perfectly with each one. Personally I found dessert a little disappointing, as if they don't have a pastry chef and a regular chef made dessert. It was fine, just didn't have the same flair as the other courses and I remember thinking the same when we got the takeaway menu. Overall an incredible experience, we will definitely be back.

    Das Erlebnis! Also, wo soll man da anfangen, ja, man geht hin, um zu essen, aber das Essen tritt irgendwie in den Hintergrund und das Erlebnis steht im Vordergrund! Klar isst man da, aber es ist nicht nur Essen, es ist wirklich ein Erlebnis, ich musste noch nie so oft lächeln, wenn ich Essen im Mund hatte. Einfach unglaublich, jeder Löffel oder jede Gabel war ein Genuss und eine Überraschung! Natürlich ist es nicht billig, aber wer wirklich erleben will, was man aus "Essen" alles machen kann, ist hier absolut richtig. Werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Der Service war hervorragend, sehr zuvorkommend, nett, jeder Teller wurde genau erklärt und der Küchenchef hat uns auch einen kleinen Besuch abgestattet. Wir sind überwältigt und freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch! The experience! So, where to start, yes, you go there to eat, but the food somehow takes a back seat and the experience is the focus! Sure you eat there, but it's not just food, it's really an experience, I've never had to smile so often when I had food in my mouth. Just amazing, every spoon or fork was a delight and a surprise! Of course it's not cheap, but if you really want to experience what you can do with "food", this is absolutely the right place. Will definitely come back again! The service was excellent, very courteous, nice, each plate was explained in detail and the chef also paid us a little visit. We are overwhelmed and look forward to the next visit!

    Ein rundum gelungener Abend ☺️ Das Konzept ist gut durchdacht und macht den Restaurantbesuch unkompliziert und dennoch außergewöhnlich. Alle Gerichte sind mit viel Liebe zum Detail angerichtet und mit noch mehr Liebe zubereitet 🧡 Der Service ist äußerst freundlich und es herrscht eine lockere Atmosphäre 👍☺️ Insgesamt eine Empfehlung und in Düsseldorf sicher ganz Oben mit dabei. Eine wundervolle Erfahrung!

    My first michelin star restaurant experience inside a super market... The main course is the best dish. Too much effort to "make" the dishes fancy with sauces, all the sauces don't match the taste of the dishes and are completely unnecessaey imo. Service is good!

    Wir waren mehr oder weniger spontan mittags dort essen und waren rundum begeistert! Das Servicepersonal sowie das Küchenteam leisten eine tolle Arbeit. Egal zu welchem Zeitpunkt, alle hatten ein Lächeln auf dem Gesicht, dass ehrlich und authentisch war. Demnach war die Atmosphäre als Gast total angenehm und gelungen. Man spürt, dass das Team die Arbeit mit Herz macht. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich, vielfältig und außerordentlich gelungen! Das Spiel mit den verschiedenen Konsistenzen und tollen Geschmackskombination lies uns staunend und begeistert zurück. Es war ein rundum gelungener Mittag. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!

    We had an absolutely wonderful meal here at Setzkasten for our anniversary! The degustation was well planned and executed in terms of flavour, technique and inventiveness. And the varying textures in each dish were so satisfying. Two of the dishes were a tad too salty for my liking, but still so enjoyable and were quickly balanced by the following dishes. Service slowed down a little at the end, but we weren't so bothered by that. Our server Frank was so lovely, professional and thoughtful! Thanks to him and the rest of the team at Setzkasten we had a beautiful time! Perfect for date nights and special occasions. P.S. The snacks are to die for!

    Es ist schon originell, dass man in einem "Supermarkt" in ein Restaurant geht. Wenn man dann am Platz sitzt, merkt man davon gar nichts mehr. Rundum ist es ein gelungenes Erlebnis, hier zu speisen. Das Essen an sich ist schon großartig und außerordentlich ansprechend angerichtet, aber das würde zunichte gemacht, wenn nicht auch der Service stimmte. Hier lebt der Service die Leidenschaft mit jeder Pore: Höflichkeit, Witz, Charme und das Fachwissen zu den einzelnen Produkten runden das grandiose Essen ab. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen sicher wieder.

    Lower ground atmosphere , 1 star rating instead of 1 Michelin service. Food was too salty/ too sweet . It’s my first time ever not finishing my dish. Only 1 dish was worth eating. Dietary restrictions were not taken seriously eg nut allergy. They got the sparkling water and still water wrong. When given feedback , the waiters just acted blur and ignorant and defensive . After giving the feedback , they chose to not explain their food . To our disappointment , the main chef was not even around . They SO DO NOT deserve a Michelin star.

    We were passing the restaurant so many times because it’s inside of one of the most fancy EDEKAs in the regions, and finally had a chance to explore it. The dinner took around 4 hours, but the time flied so quickly. The dishes were amazing (each and every of them), the wine pairing was on point and complemented food perfectly. We also enjoyed the service: it’s attentive and polite, and the staff even made us laugh a few times :) Such a gem inside of a supermarket!

    Wenn man sich mal was ganz besonderes gönnen möchte. Super Service. Tolles Mehr-Gänge-Menu. 1 Sterne Restaurant, natürlich mit entsprechenden Preisen. Der Chef war besonders nett, unterhaltsam und zuvorkommend. Reservierung wäre wohl erforderlich. Danke an die Crew.

    Absolutely loved the experience here! Of course you pay a certain amount which is quite above average dining, however in return you get an absolutely above average dining experience! The service is outstanding and are really trying to accomodate you in everything you need. I think the bread that is served on the side here deserves an honorable mention: it was served with delicious butter and they made sure you’d never run out through the whole course. If you are looking for a restaurant for a special occasion I think you will have a lovely time here!

    Stylish but not too posh 1* Michelin awarded place , located in the basement of a supermarket (!). Been there most recently and we had a great evening with superb food and good wines. Very attentive and friendly sommelier. Regards from Hong Kong!

    My girlfriend and I tried the Genuss Box with 16 different small boxes to heat up or eat as is at home. Overall it was really nice and was the closest you can get to fine dining during covid times in Dusseldorf. One star less because the dessert and the meat based boxes were not that stunning but definitely worth the try!

    Oh my god, we had such a great time with the box to go last week end. It's a true star-restaurant experience at home. We loved to be surprised by the tastes and vision of the meal while we were opening the small boxes. Thanks and well done!

    Great little restaurant in the basement of a supermarket. Well design and you would not think you're in a basement. Good service and tasty food. Definitely would recommend.

  • 5/5 Cinnamon F. 1 year ago on Google • 212 reviews
    AMAZING. The chef and sommelier deserve the highest praise for their imaginative, delicious, and delightful menu and wine pairings. I've been working two-three jobs and saving for three years for this trip and this meal is WORTH the splurge. Do yourself a favor and go all the way with the wine pairing.

    I can whole-heartedly recommend everyone to visit Setzkasten. Every dish I got served, I enjoyed very much. The service was also very attentive and professional.

    Really fantastic restaurant, amazingly friendly and competent staff all the way from the top down. Can react to allergies and incompatibilities really quickly, be it gluten or anything like that. Varied meals and friendly explainers, all in all awesome.

    Amazing culinary experience. Food, service & wine was top quality. We sat at the chefs table, which was great to see how they worked and plated the food with precision. Each dish was presented brilliantly and explained well in English. Highly recommend! Everything was great and nice.

    Enchanting both for eyes and palette. Service personnels were not only friendly but also have full of knowledge with wine.

    An absolutely fantastic food experience, great service and great value for money! Each dish was exquisite and we have already booked our next table. Cannot recommend enough!

  • 5/5 Blayne B. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the business lunch (4 course) and got a wild sea-bream appetizer as well, and everything was delicious. The yellowtail amberjack dish was especially delectable. Both the waiters as well as chefs brought our food, and explained everything that was in each dish very well. Everyone spoke English well, which was nice. 10/10

  • 4/5 Kimmi V. 3 years ago on Google
    Tremendous amount of effort and passion put into extremely inventive dishes pays off: well done! Simple setting inside big, very modern and high end supermarket gives a special, positive vibe to it. Staff, super friendly.

  • 5/5 David T. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best Dining experiences I ever encountered...don't let the exterior fool you, as the location is within a (Premium) super market. Chef Anton and his crew know exactly what they do and achieve something very special with their top quality dishes. Sommelier service was in par with the food

  • 2/5 EW K. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Appetisers we’re pretty good then it went downhill with mains. Did not serve the petit fours. Pretty understaffed for a Michelin 1 star restaurant and low attention to details. Stated allergies in the online reservations and they didn’t take note of this till I reminded them. They did remove the nuts for the first dish then forgotten about it for the later dishes. Did NOT serve the champagne for the wine pairing ! Nor did they offer to take off the amount from the billl. Took 4 hours to serve the few Dishes with a lot of time wasted in between Utterly disappointed
