Cornelius Gastronomiebetriebe GmbH in Norderney

Very tasty food with an amazing view

The Cornelius is a really nice restaurant. I've been to Norderney several times but I didn't necessarily have this restaurant on my radar, but that will change now.

Pizza and pasta like in Italy. Very tasty and very good. Since it is often very crowded, a reservation is recommended.

As always or every year a must. Absolutely recommended. Very nice staff, the food is always a dream. No matter whether soup, salad, pizza or fish. Tried everything and every time it was a pleasure. Price performance fits. Today it was salad and a pizza Magaritha. We'll meet Again. I'm looking forward to it.

A very successful visit to the restaurant. Great service and the food is very good. Prices corresponding to Norderney, but not too expensive.

Delicious food, friendly service, nice place to watch the sunset outside with a glass of wine or beer.

Celebrated 60th birthday with 18 people. A top address. It was just perfect Matter. Great service, great food, Cornelius delivered a top performance. Went back 2 days later The same top. Thank you very much

Solide Küche, Pizza und Calzone gut, Pasta etwas laff und wässerig. Preise für die Lage absolut in Ordnung, tolle Aussicht direkt am Strand, Drinks auf der Terrasse genießen mit Windschutz.

We ate cake and Mattjes. Both very tasty and beautifully prepared (the Mattjes). The atmosphere is really nice and the service is quick and friendly. Reasonable prices

Food/salad was ok, but nothing more - the sale was very watery - the "soups" weren't that great either - it's a shame - the atmosphere was great - it was cozy

Always happy, very friendly staff

The Cornelius on Norderney is the perfect place with a view of the sea! Popular with many, so reservations are advisable. The relaxed atmosphere and the pleasant guests, as there are no large groups, make the visit particularly pleasant. Simply great for drinks, coffee, waffles and delicious pasta in the evening - absolutely recommended for any time of day.

Great place. Food, ambience, everything was right and the icing on the cake was the view of the sea

I didn't find the food that special. The staff was friendly.

Super nice location and delicious food. However, once again the service was extremely unfriendly and inflexible. So we were there for the last time.

Hot-headed boss who hit on us straight away at the beginning. Incompetent service that doesn't even know the different types of beer or the password for the guest WiFi. The food was okay to bland. The German language doesn't seem to be a priority here. And of course there are problems and complaints if you want to pay by card. So a clear NOT recommendation.

Lage bei Sonnenuntergang unbezahlbar. Pizza okay, Pasta nicht empfehlenswert. Service schlecht, kann mit Rückfragen nicht umgehen. Chefin sehr unfreundlich. Zahlung nur bar, weil angeblich WLAN nicht funktioniert - seltsamerweise war am Nachbartisch Kartenzahlung möglich. Keine Empfehlung.

Location + Lage sind gut. Essen (Pizza) war sehr sparsam belegt (Spinat Gorgonzola). Service hat sich Mühe gegeben. Besitzerin: No go - eine Italienerin die kein Ramazzotti Glas kennt unvollstellbar + Beschiss mit einem anderen Glas ohne Mengenstrich ! Und dann wenn man sich beschwert ist auf einmal das WLAN ausgefallen und man soll bar bezahlen!!! Nie wieder. Schade die Lage vom Lokal ist echt top aber die Prima Donna ist ein no go !

The food was delicious and the ice cream was first class.

You look at the toilets... then you don't feel the need to look into the kitchen. What a guest is expected to do is shocking.

We have been here several times and have eaten well. Wonderful view of the sea, very nice, attentive service.

Unfriendly waiter, very long waiting time. Apparently we had been forgotten at first. When we asked after half an hour, they said, "I'll bring you the food as soon as the kitchen releases it." When we asked again, they said, "You can leave if it takes too long for you." After almost an hour the starter arrived. At other tables, guests who arrived later had long since had their food. The pizza wasn't hot and a bit chewy. The pork fillet with porcini mushroom sauce was also tough. Conclusion: We won't eat here again.

It's not for nothing that it's always well attended!

Drink a cappuccino and look at the sea... smell the sea air... the sun on your face... priceless. The food is also really recommendable, as we have now found out. You can stop by here often.

Very nicely located by the sea, friendly staff and acceptable prices. The terrace is worth a visit!😀 We were there several times and were always very satisfied!

Great shop, always worth a visit, delicious beer

Soooo friends.... A great outdoor area with a great view of the sea... The cake and salad were tasty and the portions were good. The waiter was also smart and friendly. Price/performance OK.

When we're on Norderney, Cornelius just has to be there. Excellent food, professional service and pleasant calm even in a huge storm! Next time again!

Food was delicious. Pea stew, rice pudding and a fat burger.

Good selection, nice service and not as expensive as the rest of the island

We were on holiday and we always had dinner in this very welcoming place, friendly staff and above all the friendly and helpful owners for all our requests... the restaurant is facing the sea, a beautiful place... well done Cinzia and Fulvio.

We always go there 1.2 times when we visit the island, it's a great place to stay whether inside or outside. The food is great, at moderate prices. The service is very friendly and super attentive. Feel free to go there 😊

The food and the ambience were quite good. I would like to give -1 star for the so-called “service”. First we were completely ignored for 20 minutes. When someone got lost, their ignorance was rewarded with an extremely unfriendly sentence. “Do you want to order now or I’ll go back?” The wrongly prepared pizza can of course happen, but it fit the picture. Just like completely carelessly prepared children's plates, During the meal, we weren't even asked about new drinks, let alone whether we could have dessert after the meal. The empty plates were on the table for about 20 minutes. All in all, you felt very unwelcome and unwanted.

Food top prices 👌 ok I can recommend

Waited 2 hours for the food today. Service not very friendly. The food so-so.

The ice cream was very tasty. But it's a shame not to open until 12 p.m. in midsummer.

We arrived at lunchtime and all had different dishes. Pizza, canneloni and rigatoni. The pizza dough was probably a bit very stiff, but the topping was delicious. The rigatoni was OK. The cannelloni was very tasty. The service was friendly!

The food was very tasty but it took a long time to arrive.

The location of the restaurant is very nice, right on the beach and overlooking the North Sea. But our food, ice cream and cocktails were also delicious. We liked it, we were also satisfied with the service and will therefore be happy to come back.

Pizza and dessert are delicious and prices are okay.

We enjoyed it very much. Starter, main course and dessert. You definitely have to try the panna cotta! Was with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fruit. The ice cream is homemade!

We were in the restaurant a few days ago. We just wanted to have a cocktail 🍸 in the evening after visiting the beach. We decided to sit outside and the waiter took us to a seat. Afterwards we waited for a waiter for over a quarter of an hour, everyone just looked at us until someone finally came. Afterwards we were treated so unkindly by the waitress (mid-50s, short black hair). Not very nice.

Recommended for a drink, not for eating out. The service and the ambience are really nice, but unfortunately the food was so mediocre and seemed a bit bland. Both the plaice and the pizza were completely unsalted and bland.

A location where you can serve the meal quietly...👍👍

Price performance reasonable. But the toilets are very unclean!!!!! Otherwise nice view.

Very tasty food. I especially liked the pork fillet with mushroom sauce and fries. I was a little disappointed with the tuna pizza with onion, I would have liked more tuna, but the dough was good. Staff very nice. Ambience good, view great. Prices are as usual for Norderney and sea views!!

Order: a spinach pizza WITHOUT garlic. repeated 3 times. What do I get? A spinach pizza with lots of garlic. Thanks for nothing. And then served by the boss, who then came to me in a rude/unfriendly manner after telling me. Absolutely unacceptable.

The ambience is very good. The food too! However, the whole thing was marred somewhat by a seagull incident. There was a clap and the seagull was on our table next to the plate. The waiter initially didn't want to wipe it away, only after repeated requests. "His comment was just: 'Next time please take a table inside.' The appetite was definitely dampened at first! The seagull on the parasol also stayed put, so we went to another table and back again. Only when the seagull flew away were we able to enjoy our food. We had a bad feeling that something had ended up on the plate... Service looks a little different! Oh yes, we reserved by email but never received an answer! I found it strange because some people probably wouldn't make a reservation by phone... But ok, the visit to Cornelius was a “special kind of experience”!

In short: simply great! Mega attentive service that is friendly and on the ball across the board. Food was super delicious: my recommendation was the sea bream with spaghetti aglio olio & the pizza A must for us when we are on the island.

Schlechteste Pizza der Insel - Geldverschwendung Nicht schmackhaft Salat ohne Dressing lieblos serviert Service mäßig , teils freundlich Nicht zu empfehlen

Price performance is okay. Place to be in the evening. A hotspot for insiders

Die Angestellten sind total aufmerksam und souverän. Das Essen ist richtig lecker (mediterrane Küche). Es lohnt sich!

Good food but unfriendly staff and very long waiting times. We had to wait 30 minutes for our drink order to be taken

Very tasty ice cream, large portion, fair prices

Others can dress warmly! Top cuisine (sea bream and spaghetti) well prepared, very attentive service and yet you take your time to eat. A blessing for the island of Norderney!

The location and the ambience are great. However, everything else wasn't so optimal. At first the starter was very expensive but also tasty and the portion was very generous. Afterwards we were somewhat disappointed by an extremely long wait for the food of around 50 minutes. Apparently we were somehow forgotten. It has to be said that the restaurant was full and the waiters really tried hard. I'm afraid they were understaffed and I don't expect this to happen often. Unfortunately, when we got the food it was only lukewarm. Nevertheless, I am convinced that all of this was an exception and I would recommend the restaurant just for the view. Then maybe when there's not so much going on.

We ended our last day of vacation there on July 22nd, 2024 and can't complain like others. The service came quickly and was also friendly. The order went smoothly and the food and cocktails we ordered came promptly. For dessert we had teramisu and panna cotta, which was delicious. From the terrace you can marvel at the North Sea.

Great view of the sea, super delicious waffle with strawberries and ice cream at fair island prices

Underground service! On July 22nd, 24, we entered the restaurant's terrace shortly before 6:00 p.m. with 5 adults and one child; there was a sufficiently large table available. The evening began as usual, drinks were ordered, followed by starters and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the starters at around 6:30 p.m. After that, time passed... and continued to pass. At around 7:15 p.m. we asked our waitress where the main courses would be. After a surprised look, he looked at his order terminal and stammered something about "in 5 to 10 minutes". At around 7:30 p.m. we asked again where the food was, we were again put off with the phrase “in 5-10 minutes”. At around 7:45 p.m. one of us entered the restaurant and reported to the counter, politely but firmly demanding the food. You can guess the answer: "Coming in 5-10 minutes." By the way, main courses were served at the tables around us, with very different waiting times. Shortly before 8 p.m., food was delivered to our table directly next door, which had only been ordered after we had complained. I then told the waitress that we had ordered 2 hours ago and that we couldn't accept it anymore. I chose the volume so that the surrounding guests could hear in order to increase the pressure accordingly. The waitress reacted "angry": "What do you want from me, I'm just the boy here! It's not my fault!" I then asked the boss and the waitress asked me to come to the restaurant with me, which I did. When the boss came out of the kitchen he shouted at me in Italian, I couldn't understand him. I then also told him screaming that we would be leaving his restaurant straight away without any further ado. On the way out my wife met me; 4 of the 6 main courses had just been served. Since everyone was very hungry by now, we decided to eat and the missing dishes arrived at short notice. Our waitress visibly tried to defuse the situation. After eating the food, we were about to pay when the next big thing happened: Another waitress came to our table and called me an “asshole”. I don't think this needs any further comment, I have never encountered such subterranean behavior from service staff. The way “our” waiter looked at his colleague spoke volumes; he also seemed shocked. Conclusion: The service is largely incompetent and they are unable to process orders in the order they are ordered. When you get your food is a pure gamble. Criticism and complaints are not only responded to inappropriately, people literally freak out. I can only advise everyone to visit one of the many other restaurants on Norderney, whether the visit to Cornelius is a success depends on chance.

DISRESPECTFUL SERVICE. Three days ago we visited the restaurant together with my family and my parents. My father wanted to order a dish that the waitress couldn't understand acoustically. Instead of asking, she just shook her head. When asked why she was doing this, she replied: "You are unfriendly." The operation itself was hardly understandable because she didn't speak German. We pointed out that such behavior is completely unacceptable in the catering sector. This way of dealing with guests is simply disrespectful and inappropriate. A special greeting goes to the unfriendly waitress (black hair, mid-50s) we have ever experienced. We definitely cannot recommend this restaurant.

Nice view of the North Sea while eating. Eating outside becomes a matter of luck because of the seagulls. Otherwise everything is tip-top. Card payment possible. However, the ice cream parlor on the building is too artificial for me.

In my opinion this restaurant is perfect, the employees are nice and loving, I wish this restaurant was in Oldenburg

Liebe freunde der Gastronomie, Ihre Zwiebelsuppe bedarf der geschmacklichen Überprüfung. Es fehlte Salz und Pfeffer, einschuss Weißwein mehr möchte ich nicht verraten. Bei der Sauce Hollandaise ,die ist nicht fertig wenn man die Tüte auf macht und warm stellt.Der Geschmack würde sich verbessern lassen, mit Salz und Pfeffer Zitrone Weißwein und Kräuter

Delicious café, great apple strudel, mega raspberry slices, very nice view, directly over the sea. very friendly staff

Very nice restaurant with sea views from the terrace. The staff is quick and very friendly. The pizza was very tasty.

The ambience is hard to beat, but if the food is in front of you in less than 5 minutes and is there before the drinks, then the food has a bit of the feel of a Drive Inn near the Golden Seagull. The staff is friendly, but not very obliging and eager to get things done quickly. The food was really tasty and the price was completely okay, but a special request when ordering was unfortunately not taken into account. Overall 4 stars with a few weaknesses. But I would eat there again at any time.

We really liked the location of the restaurant. It's right on the beach. The food was good, but unfortunately not seasoned enough. The service was friendly and ordering food to pick up was done in a very short time. Gladly again :)

We have felt very comfortable here. The food was very good. Absolutely recommended 😃

Nice restaurant right on the north beach Good selection of food

Very nice location overlooking the beach. Good food would be happy again.

Unfortunately, we were absolutely disappointed during today's visit to Cornelius. In particular, the dish “cod with pea puree and spaghetti” was unfortunately not edible. The cod was unseasoned to my taste, as was the spaghetti. The pea puree was almost liquid and had neither the consistency nor the color of a pea puree. When the table was cleared, the waiter had no questions about the taste. In the end I ask myself why bad food is still worth it on Norderney. My clear recommendation is not to go to this restaurant if taste and quality (my point of view) are important.

I really liked it again. I would love to come back. I can only recommend it

Nette gemütliche Pizzeria direkt am Deich. Freundliches Personal. Gute Pizzen! Großbild TV für Fußball EM. Komme gerne wieder.

Delicious. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Unfortunately, the opening times on their website are incorrect (in the summer months only from 12 p.m.).

Delicious pizza. Delicious spinach canneloni.

Great location by the sea. The food was very great - we were there three times in a row and were very satisfied!!! Very nice staff! We will definitely come back next time in Norderney 🥰.

Great restaurant with a nice wine selection. Nice atmosphere and suitable for groups. However, the space was a bit tight for our group - you can only reach it by boat

Delicious fish dishes, nice staff

Love the Vitello Tonato. Great location with a great view. Service was all super nice. Coffee was great, ice cream sundaes prepared with love. Andalö Soritz tastes super delicious in the atmosphere😍Thank you for the lovely hours

The food was delicious. Great location, with a view of the sea.

Super nice service. 1a food, highly recommended. We probably only had stalls, but they were very tasty. Hot, spicy, delicious!

For such a location the price-performance ratio is very good, very attentive staff and good food.

Very good operation and service

Price / offer: Very good. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food was very good (pizza) Recommended.

For us the best restaurant on the beach with great service!

Great location, nice staff, delicious food. Would love to come back.

Very nice service, the ice cream sundae was a pleasure and the place outside in the sun and protected from the wind was simply perfect.

Good Italian with very friendly service and location right on the beach. Food is standard Italian, nothing to complain about but no wow Bella Italia either.

A nice restaurant. However, I only ever drank something there in the evening sun. So I can't say anything about the food.

Without a reservation, my husband and I were assigned a table (in the middle of the restaurant). Shortly afterwards a table (window side) became available and an attentive waiter quickly seated us. We thought that was great!!!! The food/drinks were super tasty and worth the money! Very nice staff!

Delicious food, fast and attentive service

Very nice restaurant. Great view of the sea

Ich war mit meinem Kind hier und wurde sehr freundlich empfangen und bekamen einen tollen Platz mit wunderschöner Aussicht. Wir haben Nudeln zum Mittagessen bestellt und waren sehr zufrieden. Die Nudeln waren al dente, die Soße war sehr lecker, die Nudeln super heiß und ich hatte ganz viele Meeresfrüchte dazu. Das Essen ging schnell und der Service war aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Very nice restaurant with a great view of the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff, who act very professionally even when there is a “complaint” ☺️

Fast and brisk service. Prices are ok and it's cheaper than elsewhere. The ambience inside is fine, but the sun terrace is great...a view directly of the sea

Unfortunately the calzone came differently than ordered, namely with sausage instead of without. Then a second one was quickly fabricated. It was still raw on the inside. Nothing was offered for the double failure... then we left it alone and went to another restaurant. If the food and service are good, next time I'd like more points.

Very nice and attentive service! We sat outside and had a very nice evening with delicious food (pizza and pasta as well as the antipasti starter plate). The food was very tasty and the view was great. We felt completely comfortable and welcome. Many many thanks!

The food was very tasty and fresh. Price performance was great. Very nice staff. Would love to eat there again and again. Keep it up 👍.

The menu meets all tastes. Our fish menu arrived at short notice, but was not freshly prepared. Good value for money.

Outrageous price at €2.90 for a small Pilsner (0.2 l). In addition, the waiters seem hectic and the food is not prepared as shown on the menu.
