The 10 Best Restaurants In Dortmund

Dortmund boasts a wide range of places to eat and is unquestionably a big contender on Germany‘s line-up of best gastronomic towns. Here, we take a look at the top, must try spots in the city.

1. Namu

Restaurant, Korean

Korean restaurant Namu is an absolute explosion of flavors, bringing together the traditional delights of Asian cuisine and the fusion creations of modern Korean dishes. The idea of a weekly menu to create a continuity and a dynamic, ever changing array of dishes works very well. On Tuesdays Fischkatu is a favorite, while Wednesdays mean the intense flavors of marinated pork with soya and vegetables.

EMIL

An expert in steaks, Chef Sebastian Felsing of EMIL will choose the best meat from New Zealand, Canada or the US and recommend how to have them cooked. That may make this restaurant sound meat only, but vegetarians have reason to rejoice too, with garden grilled vegetables, spinach with pine seeds and plenty more.
Address & telephone: EMIL, Rheinische Straße 18, Dortmund, Germany, +49 0231 47647814

2. Vegansky

Restaurant, Vegan

Vegansky offers a wide choice for vegans, veggies or those with healthy eating at the forefront of their minds. Open since 2014, this vegan joint is just about as green as it gets, with a variety of power smoothies, such as peppermint or mango magic, that will energise you for the day. The colorful salads are made of fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts, while the burgers are home made and the pressed juices are squeezed on the spot.

3. Rodels Kochlokal

Restaurant, Irish

Roldels Kochlokal comes with a classic approach to service and a menu where everything is made from seasonal ingredients in a simple but enticing way. ‘Gourmet’ would be rather appropriate for this refined restaurant, as the choices of food vary from Irish lamb and octopus to chocolate mousse with sesame cannelloni.
