Knurrhahn is a small bistro type eat in or take out restaurant. They serve fresh fish, pasta, soup and a variety of other delicious foods. They also have a Kiddie Menu, with smaller portions and non fish options, such a potato pancakes with apple sauce. The staff is very friendly and we never had to wait long for our food. It is cafeteria style, meaning you order and they call you when it is ready. They have several small tables with bar stools. We ate at Knurrhahn 4 times during out vacation and never had a bad meal.

We were in Borkum for a one day stay on a Saturday. The Ostfriese atmosphere brings you to intention to drink a real 'schwarz' (black) tea in the afternnon with candy sugar and special tea milk cream. Many choices of tea mixed up with all kind of flavors are offered here in the Borkumer Teestubchen. Also the pastries like 'Windbeutel' are delicious. Very special atmosphere in this restaurant with two sisters giving us perfect service. The regular tea in a jug is EUR 3,90..

We went to the Alt Borkum to try their all you can eat lunch buffet. The staff was very friendly and the food was fantastic. I was impressed that they chose to keep the buffet smaller, and offer all fresh food. The day were were there they had spare ribs, fresh pasta dishes , fresh breaded fish, as well as many hot side dishes , a large salad bar and two fresh hot desserts. The price was extremely reasonable. They also have a large enclosed play room for parents with young children. The restaurant was very clean and beautifully decorated. We would certainly return.

Il Faro is a nice restaurant with good Italian food near the light tower in a central location at the Watt Island Borkum. Managed by Italians from Puglia. A real Italian restaurant so not only pizza and further on Schnitzels. Great choice of pasta and pasta's from the oven (like cannelloni). But also very attractive pizza for one person (30 cm), two person (40cm) or famila (50 cm). Reasonable prices. Not cheap. The lasagne with salmon and spinach was EUR 12,-. The two persons pizza also EUR 12. Good ingredients in the food, the salad etc and Pellegrino as the delicious mineral water. The service was very good. Plenty of personal with a real focus on you as a client. Nice spot for a lunch in Borkum.

We traveled with small children but were more than welcomed by the host. Our waiter did a great job recommending amounts and items - we ordered everything on the menu! The wine recommendations were right on too. Not the most expensive but a great red wine. A must - the baked feta and Vivens red wine!

Very nice service and excellent fish soup-the best I have ever had! We went for a light dinner and had a white wine beforehand.
9. Restaurant Sudhauk

Reviewed By uwemaruhn - Remscheid, Germany
Dies ist ein Restaurant, welche unbedingt 2 - 3 Tage vorher reserviert werden muss.
Aber es lohnt sich. Es geht hier ganz normal zu. Die Bedienung ist rustikal, aber doch sehr freundlich. Gerne hätte ich dieses Restaurant öfters besucht, aber ich habe zu spät reserviert und dann war es eben ausgebucht.
Unser Essen war die Tagesempfehlung für € 15,90. Wirklich sehr schmackhaft.

Wir suchten gegen kurz vor Mittag ein Frühstücks Lokal. Hier ist man immer super aufgehoben. Nette Bedienung und ein Frühstück was vom Preis Leistung absolut super ist. Und sehr zu empfehlen ist Filterkaffee bestellen so viel man will als Flat Rate.
Toller Ausblick dazu auf die Seehundsbänke.
Super Lokal.
