Restaurant El Gitano

A nice Spanish restaurant in the Old Town of Düsseldorf. Good food, friendly waiters and a nice atmosphere - especially outside in the summer where you can indulge in a chat with other guests while enjoying paella and wine.

Tucked away in the tiny alley of Schneider-Wibbel-Gasse, El Gitano is very inviting among many Spanish offerings in the corridor. There is plenty of covered outdoor seating. The food presentation was lovely. Unfortunately, our experience was downhill from there. While the lamb tenderloin and lamb chops were cooked properly, both the meat and sauces were so salty, in rendered them inedible. Furthermore, the waiter was unfriendly and uncooperative. We would not recommend this place as there are plenty of other offering just within this passageway.

Typical overpriced tourist trap. Excellent service though.

One of the many Spanish restaurants in this quarter of Dusseldorf. The PR man wasn't too pushy unlike others so we chose to eat there. The service was good and the sirloin steaks we had were excellent as were the sauces. They were quite happy for us to sit and drink wine for well over an hour after finishing our meal. Well recommended

Don’t be fooled, all the spanish restaurants on this block are managed by the same people. The menu is basic, the food is not special and its very overpriced.
We got a dish advertised for 2 people and we were charged twice: 1 per person.
The food was okay but nothing special.

Fantastic Spanish restaurant! The steak 300g is fantastic, highly recommended

Food was great, service a bit pushy. The menu was in German and in Spanish, no English, which was a bit difficult to understand what you were ordering. Pricing was okay... a bit high for what we got. But all in all, a fine place to go and eat.
