Eating out in Essen

Essen hospitality is not only characterized by numerous culinary stars but also by variety, originality, and a hearty welcome which visitors will find in almost all parts of the city.

The beer gardens on Lake Baldeney and along the Ruhr are a popular meeting point in summer. Restaurants, brewery houses, bars, pubs, and cafés can also be discovered e.g. in Essen city centre, in Rüttenscheid, and Essen-Süd. Visitors have a wide choice. A tour of the restaurants in Essen offers something for everyone: from star cuisine and speciality restaurants, via wine bars and beer cellars, to the latest fashionable localities and trend discos.

Each year a special gastronomical highlight is surely offered by "Essen...for gourmets" - the culinary mile in Essen city centre. "Essen...for gourmets" is a high performance show of what the Essen restaurant trade has to offer. For five days more than twenty of the top Essen restaurants present themselves in the open air in Essen city centre.

20 June to 24 June 2012 the motto is once again: "Essen...for gourmets"
