Bob & Mary’s

Legend has it that Bob and Mary traveled the world for 18 months in search of the best burger before bringing it back to Düsseldorf. With its two locations—one in the Altstadt and one in the Medienhafen—designed with hip interiors featuring bold green walls and hanging Edison bulbs, Bob & Mary’s is a welcome change of pace from the fancy European/Asian fusion that Düsseldorf does so well. And what about the meat of it? The formula for the perfect burger, they say, comes from the 100% German prime beef, and the inclusion of roast beef in the patties, while local, light-as-air brioche buns and an enviable sauce and toppings collection—think Bloody Mary ketchup and homemade chili chutney—makes this spot an ideal, fresh take on the classic burger joint. If you’re meat-averse, there’s a collection of hearty salads and of course, a veggie burger to keep you satisfied. Tip: bring cash, as the restaurant doesn’t accept card.
