So, today I want to introduce you to all that I love about Unterbilk, Düsseldorf so that you can either…
A. Decide to move here, because this neighborhood is awesome, or…
B. Come check it out for yourself!
Food in Unterbilk
Nudel Quelle
I think I eat Nudel Quelle more often than I actually cook my own meals lately. For less than 7 or 8 EUR you can get a huge bowl of fresh handmade tagliatelle with delicious toppings (my favorite – gorgonzola, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and cream sauce)!
MY Gemüse Doner
This place used to be a little secret hidden behind the big box stores of Bilk Arcaden but has since reopened across the street next to REAL-. It is now one of the most popular doner shops in the city. Their well known for their vegan and vegetarian doners – my favorite is their deep-fried veggies and chicken wrap.
Pizzeria Uscana
Right across from the Bilker Kirche is Pizzeria Uscana. It’s not been easy finding a pizza shop in the city that beats out my beloved Bella Italia back in Freiburg, but I’m off to explore Uscana next! (I’ve heard it’s amazing).
Pegasos
This is your typical Greek family restaurant. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is warm, but it’s the staff at Pegasos which makes it a great place to be!
ManThei Sushi Bar
Though I’m not a huge sushi fan myself, I figured I’d include ManThei in this list of Unterbilk cuisine because the people around me have raved about it so much.
YOMARO Frozen Yogurt
The best frozen yogurt in town and conveniently located on the beautiful and chic Loretto Strasse.
Sights in Unterbilk
Lorettostrasse
There’s so much going on in the streets of the city, but Unterbilk is one of those areas you won’t find many tourists. Loretto Strasse is a trendy corner of Unterbilk with beautiful one-of-a-kind shops and delicious eats.
Alt St. Martin Kirche
I only had the pleasure of attending a service at the Alt St. Martin Kirche last week and I was amazed at how beautiful it was (inside and out). It is one of the oldest standing churches in the city and is perfect in size (small and quaint).
Rheinturm
The Rheinturm is absolutely no secret, but it’s certainly worth checking out! You can take the elevator to the top of the tower for a stunning lookout and sit down for a couple of drinks and the cocktail bar above.
Stadttor
Inside the Stadttor you will find various different company offices and a nice little restaurant. Though, I prefer to admire the Stadttor from the outside while sitting in the green grass and enjoy the beautiful weather when the summer comes around.
