Went here for dinner and ordered a steak. Steak was tender but lacked the flavor I was hoping for. The staff is very nice and speaks English. However, the menus are in German only

Small restaurant with 7 tables, waited by Ruis. Personal service. Tapas and dessert included with the main dishes. Ruis is doing everything up front alone, so it takes time. If you do not have time, do not go. If you have, relax and enjoy. The food is honest, good quality, Spanish. In essence you pay for the main dish and your drinks, and Ruis takes care of the aperitive, the tapas and the dessert. Everything is home cooked and delicious. The style is home cooked Spanish food with a lot of fresh fish. So do not expect Michelin star haute cuisine. The price/quality ratio is truly excellent.

We enjoyed a business lunch on a great day in Cuxhaven (very sunny). This restaurant has a very nice sun room in the back - request to sit here. The food was very good, with a good variety. Typical northern German dishes, with other unique flavors. Our group all got something different and enjoyed our plates. Good option when in Cuxhaven and close to the Castle.

We come here regularly as it opens mostly everyday plus service is good, seating is all nice with the view to the sea and the food is relatively good. It is part of a hotel. The resto is where all ships are passing from the north sea to the elbe river and vice versa. At the right tome of the day, the restaurant makes announcements of what ships are passing by, their names, their loads, their technical detail, their point of departure and their destination. That was such a nice experience.

I ordered the Kamp burger for dinner with wedge fries. This was the strangest burger I ever had. It was a messy burger. The texture was strange as if the meat was pressed too hard, there was too much of the mayo-ketchup mixture. Nevertheless, it was a tasty burger indeed.

Their thin crust pizza reminded me of the ones I had in Florence Italy. Very tasty. There are plenty of variety to choose from but the menus are in German only. Make sure you go with somebody who reads German. The waiters do speak English. Must try one of their desserts at the end. Their gelato seems to be a local favorites even when it is 2c outside

I was there three times and enjoyed both the food and services. Once I had a steak and it was marvelously cooked. Still remember how tender and tasteful it was. Pizzas were great. Serving staff were fun. Will definitely go back.

I have been regularly (3 times a week) in this restaurant in the last three years since 2015. There are a lot of people who come regularly several times a month, because the location and the atmosphere of this restaurant is irresistable!I love the location of this place. You sit open air directly at the beach, or indoors protected against the Northsea weather - wind, or rain or even both.The service staff has been always very friendly end helpful. The staff in the kitchen is great.

Cuxhaven is perhaps not your first priority when it comes to visit something touristic on a half Sunday off. But we did and mainly to have some nice well prepared fish for lunch. We started with âDoppelmatjesâ and âKrabbensuppeâ followed by âKutterschollenfiletâ. Everything was cooked to almost perfection and well-seasoned. The service was both friendly and effective. And to our big surprise they accepted Mastercard as a mean of payment. Not very common in rural Germany. It was even very easy to find parking space nearby.

I love small Italian restaurants with great food. And this is definitely one of the best! The restaurant is small, but furnished very imaginative and with taste. Service is especially friendly and professional. They are regularly changing the weekly specials. Some of the dishes are regular, others are seasonal, while others depend on the daily offers. Ingredients are fresh and imported from Italy. The food is excellent! Even for vegetarians there is always a great variety of choices. Usually I am too full for a desert, but here it's definitely worth leaving some space for it :) Definitely the best Italian restaurant around!
