Recommended and booked by our friendly hotel host this is not a place a casual tourist would stumble upon by accident. In the old and little used inner harbour area, right on the water, Bluehendeschiffahrt is a traditionally presented restaurant. The menu is dominated by fish dishes and these were favoured by my friends. I found that the rump steak was amongst the best I have ever had served. Most of the dishes come with re-fried potatoes (saute style) ample in quantity and quality. There is a choice of locally brewed beers and good German wine to be had here too.The very friendly and competent hostess spoke little English, accepted our efforts at German with good grace and all went to plan! We walked from town in about 20 minutes along a rather derelict but tidy disused quayside beside an overgrown railway line, unbothered by any road traffic. There is road access to the restaurant and some parking on site.Prices are really reasonable and you will not do better in Wilhelmshaven.

The restaurant is located far (approx. 4km) from the center of town, but in the midst of beuatiful locks and harbors. From the outside terrace and the cosy dining room guests enjoy a magnificent view of the old port and a cast iron bridge. The menu is tradional with obviously a lot of choice in seafood. The quality of the ingredients and preparation of the food is good. Nevertheless, we got somewhat disappointed with the dish with coquilles st jacques. It is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. As the accompanying shrimp were missing in the kitchen at the end of the day (can sometimes happen), this loss in the dish would be 'compensated' with extra scallops. But even under these special circumstances, the kitchen produced a dish with no more than four coquilles st jacques!

We sat outside and had drinks and snacks. Even with a chill in the air, the ambiance was wonderful. The location is right next to the sea and the view makes a great setting for visiting and relaxation. I cannot say how the interior was.

Directly opposite the Columbia hotel this unassuming little pub was great with good robust food, charming service and an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The food was great (Schnitzel & seafood) and pre-empted with a "freebie" mixed salad which was delicious. It seemed to cater for locals which is always a good sign. If you're looking for something a little more real than eating in a hotel restaurant, this great little place immediately opposite is perfect. And dogs are welcome!

The old town brewery Marienbräu is a popular address for those who want to enjoy craft brewing and Frisian hospitality in a rustic and historic atmosphere. It is located in one of the oldest houses of Jever, which was once owned by the legendary family Mü

We stumbled upon this place by accident, having not found anywhere else in the town which took our fancy. We were thus surprised to come across the most excellent restaurant, with amazingly friendly staff, excellent food, good prices, and great character and charm. In a town dominated by its eponymous brewery (which produces excellent beer too), this restaurant struck a unique note with its own, in-house, micro-brewery. It is well worth ordering the 'beer tasting platter' (or whatever it is called) and making an evening of it. There was a good range of food on the menu and the portions (particularly of the schnitzel) are huge. It is worth going easy on the bread and salad - and there is little need for a starter. The desserts, too, very tasty. We ate here for both nights of our stay in Jever - and had we stayed a third night, we would have dined here again.

Astronomers teach us about about variable stars, those singularly fascinating luminosities that lead a double life--sometimes brilliant, sometimes, if not dull, then lacking in luster. In the very small galaxy of restaurants that illuminate Jever, a small town on the way to Germany's famous North Sea island resorts, the brightest and yet also most variable of stars is surely the Haus der Getreuen, a classic German "Kneipe" or gastropub offering an assortment of regional specialty dishes as well as an assortment of local artisanal beers. The Haus der Getreuen benefits, in the first instance, from a superior location. At the top of a kind of culinary mall and just down the hill from the historical town center and shopping area, the restaurant serves as a two-way valve between the mainland and its economic services and the sea with its recreational ambiance and fresh air. The visitor is immediately uplifted by the handsome outdoor deck, where al fresco dining is available during the warm months and where sturdy dark woodwork and brilliant maritime light create a delightfully robust contrast. For those thinking of a winter visit to Jever, the indoor dining rooms, although likewise hewed from heavy oak, feature large windows and sprightly accoutrements that brighten and energize a dining space that suggests a hard-working Hanseatic sailing ship. Environments, of course, are mere nebulosities. Food is what makes a restaurant, and Haus der Getreuen delivers meals with punch, vitality, inventiveness, and, above all, delectable flavors. Our smoked pepper soup, for example, appeared in a kind of dwarf Mason jar, first stimulating the eye with unexpected plating and then alerting the palette with a vivacious contrast of dark chimney flavors and clear vegetable overtones. Similarly, classic north German dishes such as pork cutlets and pan-seared fish appeared in phantasmagorical displays--plates full of visual and textural contrasts--and demonstrated that the cuisine of the region, which has a reputation for, at best, homey quaintness, can compete with metropolitan culinary traditions and can add just the right burst of excitement and satisfaction to a long day in the sun or on the sea. Where the Haus der Getreun needs improvement is in the area of service. Perhaps owing to the legendary discretion and understatement of the north German people, the wait staff seems to lack social skills equal to the culinary acumen evidenced by the chef. Waiters and waitresses barely speak, have trouble timing their visits to the table, and seem confused by questions about their offerings. Staff members evidence considerable politeness and are trying hard, but they lack savoir-faire. Similarly, some evidences of rough cultural traditions--for example, wait-persons arms heavily tatooed with assorted adages--are a little too much in evidence. Overall, the Haus der Getreuen is the top choice in Jever. It would merit a five-star rating, at least in its gastropub category, were it to achieve a better alignment of its still-developing service tradition with its superb food offerings. The future is bright for this variable but strengthening star.
