Rosie's — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

Last night, my friend and I went to Rosie's for dinner, our usual spot for brunch. We were greeted by the owner, but when my friend asked about seating for two, despite numerous empty tables, the boss replied with a smile that they were available but not for 3 hours because women talk too much !!! we found a spot and ordered tea to start. Within minutes, the owner returned, insisting that if we weren't ordering food, we should vacate the table, and directed us to less comfortable seating.

Be ready to wait a bit for your meal and perhaps for service. Amazing food is worth waiting for. Don't be afraid to flag a host/hostess if you need to order. It's a busy place and it's the cultural norm to let someone know if you need something.

Thanks, Rosie's, for taking care of me during my stay...
