At Pure Note, located in the heart of Düsseldorf’s Bilk district, a unique concept blends the best of both worlds: a package-free shop and a delightful vegetarian and vegan restaurant, all under one roof in Düsseldorf. This establishment champions a sustainable approach to dining, sourcing nearly all its ingredients directly from its own store. This innovative strategy not only combats food waste but also ensures that the dishes served are as fresh as possible, with the daily menu inspired by the produce that needs to be used. Leftovers are transformed into delicious meals without the addition of artificial preservatives, offering a healthy takeaway option. The minimal leftovers find their way to tables twice a week through food-sharing initiatives.
Guests can expect various tantalising options, from beautifully topped breads, delectable soups, gluten-free pasta variations, vegan salads, to arguably the city’s tastiest wraps—all of which are organic and unforgettable in flavour.
Pure Note’s waffle stand is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth. It also serves coffee, cakes, and a special homemade treat: Horchata de Chufa. This refreshing Spanish tiger nut milk made fresh daily, is a nourishing delight packed with minerals and without added sugar, offering a unique taste experience.
But Pure Note’s commitment extends beyond the culinary. Pure Note is deeply embedded in the local community and passionate about environmental and social causes. From teaching over 400 schoolchildren and kindergarten kids about the concept of unpackaged goods and sustainable living to organising trash collection initiatives and supporting various environmental and social projects, Pure Note is at the forefront of local activism. In collaboration with organisations like Greenpeace and Klimaliste, the restaurant hosts clothes swap parties, has been instrumental in installing bike racks on its street, and is currently engaged in city council discussions to transform parking spaces into green recreational areas.
For those looking to add an eco-friendly touch to their daily routines, Pure Note offers free cargo bike rentals, further underlining their mission to empower everyone to add their own “Pure Note” to their lives.
