Precision and Balance
Half North German, half Austrian, Ruben Baumgart brings both precision and warmth to his kitchen. His cooking reflects deep respect for classic Austrian recipes, combined with the balance and lightness of modern cuisine. He values flavour over decoration, technique over trends, and believes that good cooking starts with using every part of an ingredient well. Under his direction, Rubens has become known for food that feels both refined and genuine.
For me, it’s about precision and balance. Naking food that feels familiar yet surprising.
Rubens Restaurant
At Rubens, Austrian flavours take on a fresh perspective. In the heart of Düsseldorf’s Pempelfort district, Cornelia and Ruben Baumgart have created a restaurant that balances heritage with a clear, modern outlook. Inside the former Stadtsparkasse building, guests find warm service, carefully crafted dishes and a relaxed atmosphere that reflects the couple’s shared passion for hospitality. It’s a place where regionality, precision and respect for ingredients come together in an approachable, unpretentious way.
