Destille

Düsseldorf


The kind of neighbourhood bar that makes you want to move to the neighbourhood. Saturday mornings are 'breakfasts with authors' – when local authors give talks – while on other days there is live jazz. You can expect art exhibitions any time. The small menu (mains from €8) has numerous vegetarian choices.
