Café Mutter Ey is a tribute to Johanna Ey, who later became known as Mutter Ey, especially in the art scene. Around 1910, she supported aspiring young artists, journalists and musicians. Among them were Otto Dix and Max Ernst. In this spirit, Café Mutter Ey also attaches great importance to art and the promotion of local artists. The café offers home-baked cakes, fresh waffles and delicious lunch dishes.
Just like its namesake Mutter EY during her lifetime, the Mutter EY Café stands for a warm and welcoming culture. This applies to our guests, of course, but especially to up-and-coming artists. The gallery on the 1st floor offers space for changing exhibitions by local creative artists from the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Homemade pastries and cakes harmonize with the fresh coffee specialities. The gallery, café and outdoor area are open to the public, but can be booked exclusively. Events for up to 90 people are possible.
None other than Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici, wife of Jan Wellem, is said to have brought joie de vivre and artistic flair from Florence to Düsseldorf. The Trattoria Pitti takes its name from the Palazzo Pitti, residence of the Dukes of Florence. Inspired by Italy’s creative essence, the Pitti invites you to enjoy dishes and wines in a special ambience.
The Mutter Ey Café in the Andreas Quartier is a tribute to Johanna Ey. Known as “Mother Ey”, the gallery owner and patron of the arts supported students at the art academy and artists such as Otto Dix and Max Ernst in the 1920s. Her commitment and the atmosphere of her café are revived here: art and culinary delights come together in the most beautiful way.

The Stateroom is reminiscent of the days of Prohibition, when alcohol flowed freely in the secret ballrooms of the Roaring Twenties in the USA despite the ban. In most cases, you could only get through the inconspicuous doors if you knew the code word – a precautionary measure against the law enforcers.
