The cafe is situated at the old harbour which is very scenic (particularly in December when everything is nicely illuminated). We had just tea, the waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the tea was really nice. The interior is meeting the aesthetical impression created from the outside, thus if you happen to come to Carolinensiel and you need a tea to warm up a bit, htis could be the place.

It is perfect for lunch and definitely for fish eaters. I've been here several times and it was always very good. It is a self-service restaurant.

The ideal cosy and comfortable relaxing place. Teestube und Cafe Tuedelpott. You can sit outside right along the harbour inlet in the sun or in one of the beautifully old style fashion furnished rooms with tablecloths and cosy settings and a tiled fireplace and for the kids a play area. The cakes are home made by the owner and absolutely delicious. A highly recommended place.

This restaurant was so good that we went twice in a week! Their fish is absolutely outstanding. They also catered to our needs when we had to select a dish for our seven-year old who has dietary restrictions.This restaurant is worth a trip to Jever!
10. Haus der Getreuen

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.
