Am Kamin in Dornum

Great service, food very tasty, highly recommended,

We went there spontaneously and were very impressed. We really enjoyed the food (grilled plates and schnitzel). The atmosphere is nice and rustic and the staff is polite and very attentive. We'd love to come back!

We were very satisfied 👍 The food was delicious, the service remained top-notch and the restaurant was very comfortably furnished.

Good home cooking. Pork, turkey, chicken and fish dishes are available. Here, quality is more important than quantity. The map is kept quite manageable. Card payment is possible. If we had been here longer we would have gone there a second time. Just the right thing to fill up after a day in the dunes. A special compliment to our waiter, Leon. Very polite and always an answer to everything. Very good service from him. :) Price for two main courses and two drinks ~50€ and absolutely justified 💯👌👍 In the picture above you can see number 25 and below number five from the menu.

During our vacation we ate by the fireplace twice. The food was very good, the portions were very generous. The service was always friendly, courteous and tried very hard to answer any questions we had. The second time it was a little more crowded and many people ordered at the same time, we had to wait a little longer, but the quality of the food was excellent.

Parking is difficult. Food is okay, but my wife had a schnitzel Italia with cheese, the smell of which was bad and makes you sick. There was no starter soup, my daughter was looking forward to a warm soup because she and my wife went on a boat trip and it was cold. The staff was friendly. In any case, the price is good. The ambience is fine, but the restaurant is a bit older.

Super great restaurant, TOP food, staff super nice and friendly. There were 10 of us there, everyone was completely satisfied. Gladly again. Thanks.

Quaint, very nice restaurant. Slightly hidden, almost an insider tip. The food was really good, the recommendation of the bucket of mussels was worth its weight in gold.

We didn't make a reservation, but we still got a small table. When a nicer place became available a short time later, we were asked if we wanted to move. Which we gladly accepted. Friendly, fast service, the food was very tasty and well prepared. Mussels in a bucket and cutter floe on a fish-shaped glass plate. The staff was very committed and courteous, but not intrusive. We found prices reasonable.

Ein sehr schönes Ambiente, sehr nette Bewirtung. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut, gute Auswahl an unterschiedlichen Speisen ob Fleisch Fisch oder Tagesangebote, Preisleistung ist gut. Wir kommen sicherlich im nächsten Jahr wieder zum Essen.

We went to this restaurant as part of our vacation at the beginning of October. The food was very good and beautifully presented. We really had a lovely evening there, just as you would hope. What should be emphasized is the extreme politeness of the service staff - despite the fact that it was packed - and also the technical knowledge of the dishes and time for an explanation when a question about fish was explicitly asked at the neighboring table. Praise to the young man who not only did “a job” there, but also looked after the guests extremely well. You don't see something like that very often these days.

Very tasty fish eaten, friendly service, unfortunately a place near the door, it was quite cool...

Delicious food and very nice staff

Very good food, great and professional staff.

Everything is just right here. Excellent quality and very friendly and helpful service. The atmosphere is super cozy and the beer garden is original. We'd love to come back.

Very nice staff and food was very, very tasty

I'll come back to it next time I'm in the area. Very tasty, good prices, professional service. Simply great. The fish was great!

Nice, quick service and delicious fish and meat dishes.

Great ambience in great weather in the beer garden. I can't rate the food, we just drank there. But from what I hear it's supposed to be very good.

The staff is very friendly and professional. Our food was excellent and the price-performance ratio was right. Special requests are no problem because everything is fresh and homemade. The herb butter was of course homemade and met my husband's taste. We felt very comfortable as guests and we can only recommend this great restaurant.

Very nice and friendly service 👍👍👍 the food prepared with a lot of love and very tasty all wishes are fulfilled that are possible 👍highly recommended 👍👍👍👍

We went there on the boss’s recommendation 😉 and we really liked it. The food was great, tasty and fresh. Creamy schnitzel with fresh champions, delicious redfish and crispy fried potatoes, with fresh salad 👍 The service was very nice. The restaurant is very cozy and attractive. “By the Fireplace” is really recommended.

The food was very good and friendly staff. The atmosphere is also very inviting. Always happy :-)

We cannot understand mediocre reviews. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the food (cutter plaice and redfish) was excellent. We spent lovely hours in a cozy atmosphere. Jürgen and . Dagmar

We were there more often because everything was right. Very nice and tasty.

Very tasty home-style cuisine! Very nice covered outdoor terrace, cozy atmosphere and very friendly service team! We would love to come back!😊

Everything was delicious and good service...gladly again

Very happy again It was very friendly, you felt comfortable there, and the food was plentiful and very tasty 😋 😋 😋 you could tell that it was cooked with love.

I can't understand some of the mediocre reviews. Last year I ate here 14 times within 3 weeks in August and September. I've already eaten up and down the menu and can only remember the best cuisine, nice service and a cozy atmosphere. Now I went out to eat often again. Everything tip top. When the weather is good and even when it rains (for the smokers) you can sit outside wonderfully. I can only highly recommend the restaurant “Am Kamin”.

Delicious food, a flambéed pirate skewer, excellent service.

Super good food. The chimney pan is highly recommended.

The three of us and two dogs spontaneously stopped there. We were attracted by the predominantly positive reviews and a desire for fresh fish. We enjoyed the pilot's plate on the beautiful terrace right on the Siel... it was worth it! Super friendly and humorous service, delicious food and great ambience... many thanks to the entire team at "Am Kamin"...

We were there for the first time this evening. Very nice beer garden right on the water. Clean tables and we were served by a young man from whom most waitresses should learn something! I have rarely received such friendly and courteous service! Our son's wish for a children's schnitzel was fulfilled even though it wasn't on the menu. The portion was really decent for 8.50 euros. My husband had the grill plate and I had the mushroom schnitzel. That was the best thing I've ever eaten! Just the right size, lots of fresh mushrooms, and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. Totally recommended!!!

Dining with a view of the water. Service couldn't be better and the food was very tasty.

Looking back on yesterday evening: It was cozy and extremely pleasant “Am Kamin” in Dornumersiel. The fresh products, the beautiful ambience and the very friendly service were convincing. We look forward to visiting this restaurant again.

We have now vacationed in Dornumersiel for the third time. This year was the first time we had been to this restaurant. We sat at the back in the beer garden, very comfortable. Friendly staff. We didn't have to wait long for the food. I had the pilot plate with fried potatoes, very tasty. I can recommend. However, my husband wasn't that enthusiastic about the chimney pan; the fried potatoes were too greasy because the oil was floating at the bottom of the pan. The medallions were overcooked. But my son also liked it, he had redfish fillet. Price/performance okay.

Everything completely perfect! Cozy atmosphere, excellent food and extremely friendly service. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

Very nice restaurant with a great terrace. The food was very good with courteous service. We would be happy to come back.

The food was great as was the service

Overall just great! Super nice staff, delicious food and wonderful outdoor spaces. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine.

We had dinner in the restaurant “Am Kamin” on the evening of August 4th, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. The reviews were consistently good, and the pictures of the delicious prepared dishes were very appealing. Unfortunately we can't share that. I ordered a fish soup in advance, if you like it - okay, but it wasn't for me. But this is a matter of taste. The Pilot's Plate, the Wiener Schnitzel, the Grilled Plate and the Kutterscholle dish were a complete fat game. The food was an absolute disaster. We would have been better off taking the money to MC Do...ds. We were forgotten at first. My goodness, it can happen. After drawing attention to ourselves, we couldn't swallow as quickly as what was served. I'm not one to complain; something can always go wrong. This is all human. However, apologizing is also human and a matter of respect. But this didn't happen. The young man/Keller with the black hair and the "curls" as bangs had to fix the mess that the other three Kellers messed up. Never, never again.........

I had to give one star but it didn't mean anything. We were there about an hour ago....NEVER AGAIN!! About 50 minutes after we placed our order and I saw that guests who had entered the restaurant after us had long since started eating, I politely asked if we had been forgotten... there was no apology. Afterwards, food came. My wife had just finished the salad for the main course, put the last cable in her mouth and in no time the plate was gone and replaced with the starter... I would say living at the limit :) Main course was more than just disappointing. Fried potatoes were way too greasy, fish wasn't all fresh in my opinion. (TK sends its regards) Our 9 year old son threw up at home after his schnitzel plate with fries... (is there a connection?!) I definitely advise against visiting there! Anyone who says the food is great there also eats small children.

Very tasty food, everything was top notch.

Disappointed First of all, the ambience inside, very nice and original, outside it's more of a terrace on the Siel. Service, a young waiter who does a good job and is very professional, with two colleagues who tried to do justice to all guests. Food and drinks, the menu was very simple, unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the drinks. I didn't have to order a salad plate (which is on the menu) because a salad plate was served with all dishes. I had a grill plate, the meat was good, the pork steak was very dry. Unfortunately the fried potatoes are not at all as we know them, dark but not fried. The vegetables too. In addition, everything tastes the same, meat, fried potatoes, vegetables seasoned with the same herb salt. Absolutely not satisfactory for me.

We sat in the beer garden, which I found very nice. But others have already mentioned this positively. The two ladies in service were nice and polite. But there was a young man who served the food... We noticed him very positively. Very nice, polite, thoughtful and accommodating! Now for the rest... We had to wait a long time for the drinks. We were not the exception. It was the same for all the guests. The food... Every first-year chef trainee can do it just as well. The fries weren't completely cooked through, the meat was well seared and juicy, I had chicken, and the grilled vegetables were briefly sautéed. The salad first... coleslaw, carrot salad, red cabbage salad and iceberg lettuce. Why put dressing on everything? Only iceberg lettuce needs it. This isn't decoration either. In general I would say... Well... There were no vegetarian dishes on the menu. On demand. Nowadays I don't think that's up to date anymore. Conclusion. I've had enough.

Everything was perfect here, great food, great ambience and great service. I found a dish via social media that was probably from 3 years ago and was no longer on the menu. The friendly owners there prepared this dish for me straight away without a word. That's what service is. Children are not left out either. We'll definitely be back!! PS the dish should be back on the menu 😄

a very good location with a nice beer garden

Delicious food and a very nice staff. We'd love to come back!

Beautiful beer garden, the food was great and the staff so friendly!

Very nice beer garden behind the restaurant, right on the Siel. The menu is pleasantly clear with meat and fish dishes. The food was very good and served with Frisian charm. We recommend.

Sehr schöner Biergarten hinter dem Restaurant, direkt am Siel. Die Speisekarte ist erfreulich Übersichtlich mit Fleisch und Fischgerichten. Das Essen war sehr gut, und wurde mit Friesischen Charme Serviert. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Gemütlich direkt am Wasser gelegen. Nettes Personal und eine übersichtliche Karte. Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt, die Portionen waren gross und eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit gab es auch noch. Preis-Leistung stimmte definitiv. Leider werden auch hier keine Visa-Karten akzeptiert. Sehr schade.

Cozy location right on the water. Nice staff and a clear menu. The food tasted good, the portions were large and there was also a little attention. Price-performance was definitely right. Unfortunately, Visa cards are not accepted here either. Very unfortunate.

This lovely restaurant right on the water is definitely worth a visit. The food is a real pleasure. The service was very accommodating. The only other thing I would recommend is drinking an honest beer with your meal. The wine is so overpriced that you should leave it alone. We were allowed to photograph the wine bottle. So I know what I'm talking about.

Food was delicious, prices were ok, service was super nice

Also, wir waren dieses Jahr schon mehrmals dort, einfach top! Ok, jetzt am Wochenende gab's wohl paar kleine probleme! ABER!!! Das ganze Personal ist so lieb und herzlich, und das Essen ( vor allem das schollenfilet) absolut top zu fairen preisen!! Da wird noch alles frisch zubereitete!!!! Manche Gäste sollten vielleicht auch mal dran denken dass sie im Urlaub da sind und etwas Zeit mitbringen!!! Wir hatten dort echt schöne Abende!!! Wir kommen immer wieder gerne zum kamin!!!!!!!!!

Sehr unflexibel. Hatte reserviert am Mittwoch. War da am Samstag um 17.30 Uhr. Hätte gerne noch einen Platz auf der Terrasse bekommen. Man sagte alle besetzt. Ok. Kurz nach mir kam eine 4 Köpfchen Familie, die nicht reserviert hatte und siehe da : auf einmal war ein Tisch frei. Sehr frustrierend Hab es auch so kommuniziert. Schade So kann einem der Abend auch versaut werden.

The food tasted really good. The portions were generous for us and we were very satisfied. The service staff were all very friendly too.

Ambience: very rustic and cozy inside. There are also plenty of seats outside. I don't find it very comfortable directly in front of the door. But there are also places behind the house in the countryside. Very pretty. Service: super friendly and attentive, has time for a quick chat. We felt good Food: we had two fish dishes, both of which were delicious. I can recommend the cutter plaice. Overall, not a huge card. Personally, I think that's good. There should be something for every taste here. We'll come back when we vacation there again

Nice restaurant in Dornumersiel. Food is great and the portions are huge. Unfortunately, the waiting times until the meal leaves something to be desired. This is not a problem for an adult but for a child. The staff is friendly but they seem overwhelmed.

Very tasty and good portions. Super friendly staff and very quick and attentive

Went there for dinner today. At first we were forgotten, the skewer wasn't flambéed, there were several hairs in the food and the herb butter was no longer edible. Everything was only surpassed by the arrogance of the waiter. We couldn't do anything about it, but neither could HE. That's really a pity!!

Schöne geschützte Sitzplätze im Biergarten, kleine feine Karte, 2x Grillteller mit Vorspeisensalat, Essen war sehr gut, super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Good cuisine and friendly service

Great service, great food. Would love to come back

Very good price-performance ratio, friendly service and delicious food. Gladly again.👍

Were there for the first time. Super nice, courteous, funny operating staff. Very nice atmosphere. Delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Super tasty, incredibly nice service, really top! Can be recommended to everyone. An absolute must, especially for holidaymakers!

A cozy restaurant with a large beer garden. The food was very good. The service was friendly. We had plaice with crab cream sauce and the chimney pan. Both delicious! Good value for money. Clear recommendation.

Very satisfied. Very friendly. Very good food. Not too long of a wait. Very clean. Boss at 76 still there herself. Top

Very friendly staff, very tasty food. You should really eat here. Disadvantage: no card payment possible, no longer up to date.

We were very positively surprised, beautifully located beer garden, super delicious food, top service, we would be happy to come back, highly recommended...

Very friendly service and great food (fresh plaice with delicious bran potatoes). We'd love to come back!

We were there for dinner today Friendly staff Super delicious food We'd love to come back

If you go to Dornumersiel you have to go here

Last week we sat and ate on the terrace right on the Siel. The plaice with the announced “crab cream sauce” and baked banana was super tasty and something completely different - great! However, I would recommend noting on the menu that the sauce is a curry sauce with pineapple; some people probably understand “crab cream sauce” a little differently. The only thing I didn't need were the squid rings. The service staff were still new and a bit confused at times, but super nice.

We can't understand why you couldn't give this five stars.

Great food, right on the Siel, with attentive service. Gourmet heart, what more do you want?

Were there today... service very bad, unfortunately the good woman doesn't get anything... steak medium ordered... it comes through... instead of fried potatoes there are fries... the pasta is a mush with green sauce... .unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant...

It was a very beautiful evening. The food was great and the service was great. Definitely coming back

Wir waren total positiv überrascht! Das Personal alle super top freundlich! Das Essen war super!!! Wir hatten angeblich eine Beschwerde wg. Dem Essen und die Köchin kam auch sofort! War natürlich alles super!!! Also von uns nur zu empfehlen!!!!!! Haben auch einen echt schönen Biergarten! Wir sind im Sommer wieder in dornumersiel, werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort hingehen!👍👍👍👍👍

We had a really good meal here. The service was very friendly and accommodating. A high chair could be provided. Card payment was possible.

Very cozy restaurant. I really like this kind of facility. The food was very tasty. I had a grilled plate and my wife had plaice with curry sauce. Both tasted very good. The service was friendly and accommodating. A clear recommendation from me. Great value for money and services. We'd love to come back.

We came here spontaneously at Easter and were fortunately able to use one of the last tables. The service is friendly and usually quick. But you could definitely tell that it was very full. The food (pilot plate and grill plate) was delicious. Some of the fish still had a lot of bones and had definitely been fried in a lot of fat. It was still delicious - especially the homemade tartar sauce. The restaurant is probably described very well with “rustic”. It feels a bit like a journey into the last millennium. This is also noticeable when paying, because only cash or EC card works as a payment method.

Wir haben das Restaurant an unserem letzten Urlaubstag besucht, weil wir zunächst etwas abgeschreckt waren von den nicht ganz so guten Rezensionen. Am Ende waren wir mehr als begeistert. Unsere Vorspeise mussten wir leider kritisieren. Hausgemachte Fischsuppe mit Baguette. Darunter hatten wir uns etwas anderes vorgestellt. Es gab eine eher triste Fischbrühe mit kleinsten Fischstückchen, das Baguette dazu fehlte komplett. Die Kritik daran wurde anstandslos akzeptiert und mit einem viertel Weißwein auf Kosten des Hauses ohne Diskussionen ausgeglichen. Die darauf folgende Hauptspeise war unglaublich lecker! Scholle Finkenwerder Art und Labskaus. Alles hausgemacht und mit Liebe gekocht und serviert. Toller Service. Nett und schnell. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt. Eher niedrig für die gute Qualität der Speisen. Wir kommen gerne wieder 😊

Romantic, rustic restaurant with a beer garden right on the water for the second time. This time we enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary here. Food very tasty (fireplace pan), prices are also good. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Found it by chance and were thrilled. The service was super nice, the older lady in particular had her heart in the right place. The atmosphere is super quaint and cozy. The food was super tasty and everything was fresh. Keep it up!!!

Great service, delicious food and a not-too-cluttering menu. Plus in a cozy atmosphere. We will be back.

We've been by the fireplace several times now. The food was always very tasty. And the service is great. Friendly and attentive. And when it was full, they didn't let themselves be disturbed. Good recommendation

Nice atmosphere and very good food. We'll be back on our next visit.

A really nice restaurant, with very nice and cheerful service❣️ The food was a hit for our vacation. The chef deserves double and triple praise. It was very tasty ❣️ An all-round successful holiday in Dornum.

Quaint restaurant/pub, the food was very good and tasty. Something has stood still in time and that's a good thing... The service is very nice and friendly. We will definitely come back on our next vacation.

Very clean restaurant, food top, overall recommended, price/performance ratio fits

We went to this restaurant twice during our short vacation because we liked it so much the first time. It was opened on Ascension Day "last year" in 2022 (2023?) and has various own creations such as the homemade tartar sauce and the "Opa-Bräsig-Gedächtnis-Schnaps (a herbal liqueur made from our own recipe). In terms of costs, the total bill of around €100 for 4 people including drinks was still within a tolerable range despite the price increases. Despite the lack of skilled workers, the staff took the time to take good care of the guests. Even the chef came to the tables to ask if everything was okay. Even with the currently good range and taste of the dishes on offer, he attaches great importance to feedback from guests in order to further refine the recipes. And shared a few anecdotes about recipe development. However, the recipe for the herbal liqueur is secret. Not even the staff knows it and therefore can't reveal anything. Given the restaurant's short history, it is expected that the quality of the food will continue to improve. From my point of view, I can only recommend a visit to this restaurant

Good food, the plaice were very tasty, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. We were there on two evenings and were more than satisfied.

Haben ohne Reservierung einen Tisch bekommen, war aber vermutlich eine Ausnahme, da das Lokal recht gut besucht ist. Also sicherheitshalber vorab reservieren. Die Bedienungen sind allesamt freundlich, selbst bei hoher Frequentierung des Lokals. Die Getränke und auch das bestellte Essen wurde ohne große Wartezeit gebracht. Beide Essen waren frisch zubereitet, ansprechend dekoriert und sehr gut abgeschmeckt. Der Apfelstrudel mit Eis und Vanillesauce bestand aus echtem Strudelteig, nicht wie manchenorts aus Blätterteig. Geschmacklich auch nichts zu bemängeln. Die Portionsgröße bei den Speisen sind genau richtig und die Preise gerechtfertigt. Das Ambiente ist natürlich auf die Ostfriesische Nordseeküste abgestimmt, passt somit perfekt zum Konzept des Lokals. Gäste, welche das Speiselokal am Kamin besuchen, werden mit Sicherheit nicht enttäuscht nach Hause gehen. Aber wie gesagt, Reservierung nicht vergessen.

Es paßt alles, trotz krankheitsbedingtem Personalmangel. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Ein sehr schönes,uriges Restaurant, sehr gemütlich und kuschelig eingerichtet. Das Essen,ich hatte Lachs mit grünen Nudeln,war sowas von lecker und obwohl ich eine Seniorenportion war war es sehr reichlich. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam, kompetent und flott. Alles in Allem ein sehr schöner und gelungener Abend.

Haben dort sehr lecker gegessen,die Bedienung ist sehr zuvorkommend es hat alles gepasst! Werden bestimmt noch öfters dort Essen gehen 👍😀

Sehr leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung
