Restaurant in Neuss, Germany
Michelin-recognised farm-to-table at mid-range prices.
Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) at a €€ price point make Herzog von Burgund the most compelling value proposition in Neuss for a special occasion dinner. The farm-to-table kitchen works with seasonal sourcing, booking is easy, and the quality-to-cost ratio is difficult to match anywhere in the immediate area.
At the €€ price tier, Herzog von Burgund is one of the more compelling arguments for staying in Neuss rather than crossing into Düsseldorf for dinner. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) signal that the kitchen is operating at a level above what the price suggests, and a Google rating of 4.7 across 147 reviews confirms this is not a one-visit anomaly. If you are planning a special occasion dinner and want quality without the €€€€ outlay that dominates the upper end of German farm-to-table dining, this is where to look first.
The Michelin Plate is a meaningful credential here. It is the guide's recognition that a restaurant is cooking good food — not yet a star, but a clear signal that the kitchen has consistency and ambition. At a €€ price point, earning back-to-back Plates in 2024 and 2025 puts Herzog von Burgund in a narrow category: restaurants where the quality of cooking noticeably exceeds what you would expect to pay. For context, the farm-to-table format at this price tier more often produces pleasant but unremarkable results. Two Michelin Plates in succession suggest something more purposeful is happening here.
The farm-to-table cuisine designation means the menu is built around seasonal and regional sourcing. In practical terms, this affects both what you will eat and when you should visit. Expect the menu to shift with the seasons , a visit in late autumn will deliver a different set of ingredients and combinations than a summer booking. If your visit is time-sensitive, it is worth checking current availability rather than planning too far in advance, since the menu architecture at a farm-to-table kitchen is genuinely tied to what is available from producers. The progression through a meal here, if the kitchen follows the logic of this format, should read as a coherent seasonal argument rather than a static selection of dishes.
For a special occasion, the combination of Michelin recognition and accessible pricing is an advantage you will not find everywhere. Venues at this award level in Germany typically sit at €€€ or above. The gap between what Herzog von Burgund costs and what it delivers is the main reason to book it for a birthday dinner, an anniversary, or a business meal where you want to impress without the receipt becoming the conversation.
Booking at Herzog von Burgund is rated Easy, which is notable for a Michelin-recognised address. This is partly because Neuss itself is not a heavy dining tourism destination , most visitors to the region gravitate toward Düsseldorf, which means a kitchen of this quality has lower demand pressure than a comparable restaurant would face in a major city. Use that to your advantage: a reservation window of one to two weeks is likely sufficient for most dates, though for weekend evenings or peak periods around holidays, booking two to three weeks out is the safer approach. If you are organising a group dinner for a celebration, get in touch earlier to confirm whether the space can accommodate your party size comfortably.
The address is Erftstraße 88, 41460 Neuss. Neuss is well connected by rail and road from Düsseldorf, making it a practical evening destination even if you are not staying locally.

If you want to build a full evening around the area, our full Neuss bars guide covers pre- or post-dinner options, and our full Neuss experiences guide has broader itinerary suggestions.
Neuss is not a deep restaurant city, which makes a venue at this quality level more significant locally than it might be in Frankfurt or Munich. The closest peer in the immediate area for a similar mid-range, quality-driven dinner is Spitzweg.

If you are comparing farm-to-table options across the wider German region, two venues worth knowing are Au Gré du Vent in Seneffe and BOK Restaurant Brust oder Keule in Münster, both working in the same sourcing-led format. For fine dining benchmarks at a higher price tier within the broader NRW and German context, Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach and JAN in Munich represent what the category looks like at its most ambitious.

How Herzog von Burgund stacks up against the competition.
Yes, at the €€ price tier it is. A Michelin Plate two years running (2024 and 2025) signals consistent cooking that punches above what you would expect at this price level in a city like Neuss. For farm-to-table at comparable prices in Germany, it is difficult to find this combination of credentials and accessibility.
Booking is rated easy for a Michelin-recognised address, which suggests the restaurant can absorb reservations without the weeks-out lead time typical of starred venues. For larger groups, check the venue's official channels via their address at Erftstraße 88, Neuss, as specific capacity details are not publicly confirmed.
The farm-to-table format points toward seasonal, produce-led dishes, but specific menu items are not documented here and change with the season. Your best approach is to ask the kitchen what is driving the menu that week — that question tends to be answered well at Michelin Plate-level restaurants.
Neuss does not have a deep restaurant scene, so the practical alternative is crossing into Düsseldorf, where the options at both higher and lower price points are considerably broader. Within Neuss itself, Herzog von Burgund is the clearest Michelin-recognised choice at this price tier.
For a special occasion in Neuss, yes — a consecutive Michelin Plate (2024, 2025) at €€ pricing makes it the most credentialled option in the city at this budget. If the occasion warrants a starred experience, Vendôme or Tantris are in the broader region and operate at a different tier entirely.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
