The story

Herzog von Burgund, Düsseldorf: French Kitchen in a Historic Villa, Schlemmer Atlas 2,5 Kochlöffel

Herzog von Burgund serves classic French cuisine at Erftstraße 88, 41460 Neuss, and earned a 2026 Schlemmer Atlas rating of 2,5 Kochlöffel. The restaurant sits in a historic city villa in Düsseldorf, where the Erftkanal begins, and it is the French kitchen to know for formal dinners and quiet business meetings alike.

A patron with restaurant experience abroad

Erich Tiefenbacher, an Austrian, has hosted and shaped the kitchen here since 1989. Before that he worked in starred restaurants in France, Germany and Switzerland. The Michelin Guide lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026, and the team in kitchen and service has worked together for years.

Rooms and garden

The villa has an impressive entrance and a garden just behind the dining rooms, shaded in daytime and lit in warm summer evenings. The Erftzimmer suits festive dinners, while the Gartenzimmer hosts special occasions and exclusive events. Companies also book the room for discreet conversations.

Cooking classes and wine

The restaurant runs cooking classes at 155 € per person, where guests help prepare a menu they can repeat at home, with wine served during the evening. The wine list leans on Austrian bottles, Rhône reds and Italian labels from Apulia, and it includes a Champagne Veuve Pelletier Tradition Brut by the glass. A Dinner for 2 with wines is also on offer.
