1. Fischrestaurant Capitanshaus

The designation "Fischretaurant" is unfortuntely misleading, for the Capitanshaus--as its command-quality name suggests--offers a comprehensive menu that includes a full range of dining options, including upgraded, updated versions of some of the German classics. Situated in a historic house a few steps northeast of the village center, the Capitanshaus has succeeded in creating an island, maritime, "vintage" atmosphere in its dining room without falling into kitsch or nostalgia. Fresh and modern, robust but refined, the front-of-the-house decor prepares the visiting diner for an invigorating experience. At our table, we enjoyed a mix of familiar and innovative fish dishes as well as one traditionally rendered German classic pork offering and one German classic pork dish that had been metamorphosed for modern tastes. Plating was elegant, refined, and even artistic--a notable contrast to the partitioned heaps of meat and proteins found in all too many Spiekeroog refectories. Service was crisp; it combined island friendliness with urban panache. Of all the restaurants on Spiekeroog, this one has been most successful in revitalizing traditional fare and in rising to modern culinary expectations.

2. Hotel zur Linde

The facade of the restaurant at the Hotel zur Linde is promising: full of period charm, colorful but tasteful, it warmly invites visitors to enjoy the shade of its wonderful (and eponymous) tree. Unfortunately, this restaurant is trying to do too many things at once. It presents itself as a fine-dining establishment; as a historic site; as a contemporary bistro; as a "hip" bar; and as a venue for the in crowd. It falls short of success on all these attempts. What it serves is reasonably tasty, but the menu is short and the dishes utterly predictable and sometimes clumsily executed (a vegetable medley accompaniment included a gigantic lump of cauliflower that seemed to have been hacked by Jack-the-Giant-Killer rather than by a skilled chef). Neither traditional German nor innovative modern cuisine, the plates suggest an awkward attempt to satisfy a conservative clientele while adding a bit of non-threatening flash. Especially disappointing is the slate of appetizers, which would have a hard time rivaling the offerings at even a middle-of-the-road German pub. The service is also pushy: The waiter at my table constantly dispensed costly bottled water even when asked not to do so and, in an astounding bit of ambition, asked no less than three times whether we would like to make a reservation for the next evening! Although the food at the Hotel zur Linde rises slightly above the average, the pretensions that accompany it take the edge off the flavors.

The Sielhof is in a several hundred year old home, a few blocks from the North Sea. Entering the building, which also has an attached historic family chapel a visitor walks through to the main restaurant, which consists of several rooms - with the most picturesque being a glass tea-garden in the back. In the sun-drenched patio one is sitting in a beautiful green garden with a duck-filled canal in the background. The service is prompt and business-like in a very Northern German manner, if not overly friendly. The food is good and fresh regional dishes, which are brought out quickly. Order yourself some North Friesian tea (a local specialty) with some cake after the meal for a special treat.

My husband and I visited this Restaurant twice during our stay in Carolinensiel. Once with 4 people as our guests and another time with one person as our guest. The menu was varied and the meals we chose were tasty, hot, and well presented. It was also within walking distance of our Holiday House. The atmosphere was great and, as a sidenote, the toilets were spotless.
