DOCK N°8 Café - Restaurant - Bar in Norden

Very cozy and modern atmosphere.

From the table reservation to the reception to the food, everything went very smoothly! I highly recommend it!

A great location, with its own unique flair. We felt at home from the start. We went there for dinner. The burgers were amazing and the service excellent. Great team. We'd love to come back! PS: Olli definitely needs a raise!

Nice ambiance. Delicious food. Very friendly and competent staff. It should be noted that Olli needs/deserves more pay. 😉

A very stylish ambiance, fitting the name, the coast, and the world's oceans. The service is comprehensive and not as stiff and serious as in other restaurants. There's always a cool saying ready. :-) The food is excellent and changes regularly. Beer stories and other Klabautermann-related information about schnapps, liqueurs, or whiskey are also very exciting and informative. A must for every sailor or captain enthusiast. Always worth a visit. INFO to a very specific service employee: Making the world a little better with whiskey, snacks, and other goodies👍

A very nice restaurant with excellent food and attentive staff. The ambiance pleasantly surprised us and is second to none.

We've eaten here several times now and will happily return in the future. Truly the best restaurant in this region. The ambiance is super cozy, and the food is excellent and unique. The kitchen does a fantastic job. As does the wait staff. Very good and very friendly service. We've rarely seen such good service, done with such passion. Everything is just right here! PS: The wait staff needs a raise, Olli knows it :D

Absolutely outstanding cuisine – with delicious and unusual dishes. Friendly, humorous, and competent service. Highly recommended, but reservations are essential.

Don't miss this place, folks. Great food, good service, and the ambiance is also impressive. 👍

I'll sum it up briefly: Very friendly, attentive, yet unobtrusive service. Reasonable wait times. Great, sophisticated maritime ambiance. And the food was perfect. There's no other way to put it. I've never had potatoes served as perfectly as the Küstentuffels. Perfectly cooked sautéed potatoes with pesto from heaven. That was top-notch. We'll definitely be back.

I'm still sitting in the restaurant and I can't stop being amazed. I haven't had such a great meal in a long time and the ambiance and the service are great. The people are great. You have to go there :)

We've become something of a regular here; at least, we stop by once every time we visit Norden. The menu offers many dishes with a maritime twist, which naturally fits in well with the coast. Special requests are always reliably fulfilled. The selection of cocktails and wines is very good; there's something for everyone. The dishes—at least the ones we've tried so far—always taste very good and are sometimes creatively but appropriately composed. The service is always friendly and attentive, even when there are only two people serving. Sometimes the restaurant can get a bit loud and echoey due to its design, but that's the case with many restaurants. Definitely worth a visit!

It starts with the modern ambiance. The delicious and beautifully presented food meets every expectation. The excellent service, however, truly rounds off the successful evening. The location in a side street doesn't seem to have affected its success. We were guests on two evenings, and it was always fully booked – so reservations are recommended. P.S.: We promised waiter Oli that he would. He did a great job on the first evening. It was a sold-out house; he was a lone wolf – but still a great job! I wonder if that's worth a raise ;-)

Beautiful and delicious restaurant with extensive food. Complimentary vermouth with bread and dip.

Olli is the best service manager in the world and desperately deserves a raise – shoutout to Matze at this point. 😊 Laurise also did a great job behind the counter! We'd love to come back!

It's really nice to see that there are still restaurants where everything is just right. The food was very good, and the service was knowledgeable and very friendly. The ambiance is harmonious, and we felt very comfortable.

Highly recommended! Everything is just perfect here. From the reception, to the food, to the farewell. We had a delicious meal; we even received a small greeting from the kitchen and another from the bar. The two waiters know their job, are super attentive and friendly. The kitchen also knows what they're doing. The menu is varied, so you're sure to find something you like. There's a separate wine list, and they also offer a few cocktails. The restaurant is absolutely harmonious, from the napkins to the interior design. It's simply wonderful to see that restaurants like this still exist. High praise & keep up the good work.

A very stylishly decorated restaurant. Even the waiters' uniforms and the plates matched the decor. The food was good, but the portions were a bit small. There was also a misunderstanding regarding a special request when ordering, but the waiter quickly resolved this without further ado. The lemonade was also very tasty, although the taste was unusual at first. All in all, definitely worth a visit.

After a long time, PERFECT again.....100% GOOD

The food and service were top-notch! Very courteous and empathetic. Unfortunately, I was only passing through, otherwise I would go back in a heartbeat!

A wonderful end to the day with great food and good drinks and very attentive service. We'd definitely recommend it and we'll definitely be back. Thanks, it deserves 5 stars, keep it up.

Anyone on vacation in the north should definitely eat there. Great atmosphere, very friendly service. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

Everything was absolutely perfect. From the attentive waiter to the lovely ambiance to the excellent food. With a group of 10 people, everyone ate together. This certainly won't be our last visit.

Unfortunately, we had already eaten and arrived too late at "Dock 8." But the ambiance and service were excellent. Despite the late hour, the three employees were in a great mood. We were treated to a personalized digestif tasting with lots of information and even more humor. Oliver, in particular, was unstoppable—simply very personable.

I recently visited this restaurant and was absolutely thrilled! The burger was simply delicious! The staff was super friendly and really looked after us. The atmosphere was incredibly inviting. I'll definitely be back – I definitely recommend it!

Highly recommended. Very tasty and super friendly.

It's a restaurant and bar in one. We had dinner here and were very satisfied. The fish dish was extremely delicious. The service was very prompt and friendly, and extremely service-oriented. We highly recommend the restaurant.

A very nice restaurant in a modern setting. A small but well-stocked menu. The food is of excellent quality, tasty, and plentiful. Superb and fast service. Very good value for money.

Great location with very friendly service and excellent food.

Very nice waitress/great pirate ;-) and very good food. Definitely recommend.

We didn't eat anything, just had a drink. Service was excellent, and the prices seemed very fair in my opinion.

It was a fantastic evening. A really cool but cozy atmosphere, top-notch personal service, great drinks and food, very kid-friendly (art supplies were waiting at your table), and all at really fair prices. You should definitely go!

Delicious dishes, including local specialties, are top-quality and lovingly prepared. Great, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere.

I went there for lunch and was thrilled. The service was super friendly and the food was delicious, and the price was unbeatable. I'll definitely be back.

We had a very pleasant evening. We sat outside. The food (burgers) was delicious, especially the coastal tuffles. The service was very friendly, and we had a great time chatting with the staff. Thank you very much.

Schönes Ambiente, leckeres Essen, hervorragender Service , nette Gespräche… wir kommen immer wieder gerne auf einen Drink, leckeres Essen und einen Plausch vorbei! Der Service ist immer aufmerksam, Gläser werden hier selten leer…

Wir haben das Restaurant wegen der schönen Atmosphäre und der vielen positiven Bewertungen besucht – und tatsächlich: Das Ambiente ist sehr ansprechend und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Auch der Service war überaus freundlich und aufmerksam, was den Aufenthalt zunächst sehr angenehm machte. Leider konnte das Essen bei unserem Besuch nicht mit dem Gesamteindruck mithalten. Die Preise sind unserer Meinung nach deutlich zu hoch angesetzt – ein Teller Nudeln für 29 Euro weckt Erwartungen, die leider nicht erfüllt wurden. Zudem waren die Nudeln versalzen. Das bestellte Steak kam beinahe roh an, obwohl wir es ausdrücklich Medium bestellt hatten. Geschmacklich war alles in Ordnung, aber nicht besonders – für das, was wir bezahlt haben, war es insgesamt eher Durchschnitt. Fazit: Ein schöner Ort mit tollem Service, aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt aus unserer Sicht nicht. Mit kleinen Verbesserungen in der Küche könnte das Erlebnis dem aufgerufenen Preis gerecht werden.

Great restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Excellent service, very friendly and attentive, and the food is simply delicious!

A super relaxed evening with great service and good food at fair prices. A definite recommendation.

Super friendly staff, and we got two seats despite having reserved in advance. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to stop by.

You can tell the team is cool as soon as you walk in, super friendly and accommodating... Very good burgers, good food, the homemade iced tea is highly recommended... Great place and atmosphere 👍👍👍

We wholeheartedly recommend Dock 8 in Norden. We went there twice because we couldn't believe the first time that such great service still exists these days. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our table. There were a few house surprises, and all I can say about the food is: top-notch! We were very well looked after, even when the restaurant was very busy and things got a bit hectic. All I can say is, thank you so much! We'll definitely see you again! 😁 😘😘😘

An all-around successful evening. Great food. Great service. Great ambiance. It was delicious, and the waitresses were very attentive. We'd love to come back :-)

We've eaten here twice in a row now because we all enjoyed it and the food was really good. Solid, no-nonsense, and fresh ingredients. Very friendly staff, and fair value for money.

A very pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service. The food is also highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work.

Such a great restaurant! The friendliness is second to none, truly. I rarely write reviews, but I'm happy to do so here. The food was also fantastic, fresh, and very good! It's also great value for money; we'll be happy to come back.

Super Restaurant mit sehr gutem Service und sehr leckeren Speisen und Getränken. Wir haben unsere Silberhochzeit hier gefeiert und waren total begeistert. Vielen Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal! 😁

This was our first time here. We felt very comfortable from the start. All the staff were attentive and courteous. We received expert advice regarding food and drinks. The food was good. We had three courses. We had to deduct one star because the main course was very limited and quite small. Nevertheless, we will be back 😀 Thank you for the lovely evening.

Highly recommended, delicious food and top-notch service. Attentive staff, simply fantastic.

Very nice restaurant. Food very good and the waiter is outstanding. Super friendly, very hard working. Rarely have I had such a nice waiter. We've been there 3 times already. As a couple, with family (small child) and with friends. We were thrilled every time.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, sehr leckeres Essen. Und der Kellner ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Selten einen so netten Kellner erlebt.

Das Restaurant sieht sehr schön aus. Urig eingerichtet und auch das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Schade, dass das was man im Internet lesen kann aber nicht stimmt. Auf der eigenen Website kann man (zumindest mit dem Handy) die Speise karte nicht einsehen. Was man über Umwege dann an Speisekarte zu sehen bekommt stimmt mit den Preisen leider nicht mehr überein. Ich habe das angemerkt und bekam zur Antwort dass man die Website heute überarbeitet hätte. Von dem auf der Internetseite heute um 17h noch sichtbaren Aktionstagen wie z.B. heute am Dienstag Humpentag war aber auch nichts mehr da. Der ist auch jetzt um 22:00 noch sichtbar. Auch die Karte ist nach wie vor nicht sichtbar. Kein Angebot mehr und mein großes Bier, auf der Aktionsseite als 0,5 oder auch 1,0 günstig angekündigt war ein 0,4L Köpi. Und nicht günstig. Das Essen kam so schnell dass man schon vermuten konnte was einen da erwartet. Maximal Durchschnitt. Ein Burger und ein Schnitzel. Meine Frau hat ihren Burger auch als maximal Durchschnitt bezeichnet. Mein Brauhausschnitzel war ein nicht allzu großes Schnitzel. Die Champignon Rahmsauce separat in einem Töpchen serviert. Mit frischen Champignons (positiv) aber die Sauce auf Knorr / Maggi Niveau. Die Bratkartoffeln einfach als Kartoffelwürfel in die Fritte geworfen. Keine Zwiebeln, Speck oder gar Kräuter. Von den grünen Bohnen einige pechschwarz verbrannt. Gewürzt waren sie auch nicht. Insgesamt eine ziemlich flache Leistung aus der Küche. Dasa man zudem noch online ankündigt was man nicht erfüllt, passt für mich ins Bild was ich von dem Dock 8 jetzt habe. Das können andere einfach besser und vor allem ehrlicher. Somit empfehle ich das Dock 8 nicht weiter.

The restaurant looks very nice. Rustically furnished and the staff is friendly and attentive. It's a shame that what you read on the internet isn't true. You can't see the menu on your own website (at least with your cell phone). Unfortunately, what you see on the menu via a detour no longer corresponds to the prices. I pointed this out and was told that the website had been revised today. There was nothing left of the action days that were still visible on the website today at 5 p.m., such as today's Tuesday Tankard Day. It is still visible now at 10 p.m. The map is still not visible either. No more offers and my large beer, advertised on the promotion page as 0.5 or 1.0, was a 0.4L Köpi. And not cheap. The food came so quickly that you could already guess what to expect. Maximum average. A burger and a schnitzel. My wife also described her burger as average at best. My Brauhausschnitzel was not a very big schnitzel. The mushroom cream sauce is served separately in a small pot. With fresh mushrooms (positive) but the sauce at Knorr / Maggi level. Simply throw the fried potatoes into the fryer as potato cubes. No onions, bacon or even herbs. Some of the green beans were burned pitch black. They weren't seasoned either. Overall, a pretty flat performance from the kitchen. The fact that you also announce online what you don't fulfill fits the picture I have of the Dock 8 now. Others can simply do it better and, above all, more honestly. So I don't recommend the Dock 8.

Really really great location. Very friendly staff who treat each other very respectfully. The noodles with prawns could have “looked” better, but the taste was excellent. Chocolate cake great. I found the “Sex on the Watt” cocktail to be very “tasteless” Ambience just great. Price/performance ratio absolutely top. Absolutely recommended!

Nice place, but won't visit again. Unfortunately, we waited 1 1/2 hours for our food (and it wasn't even full) and were then fobbed off with a stupid excuse instead of simply admitting that we had made a mistake, which we would have thought was completely ok...but we thought it was stupid to make up stupid excuses that maybe the printer in the kitchen didn't work. One burger was missing the entire salad garnish, of 3 schnitzels ordered, one schnitzel was as big as the other two and the “fried potatoes” were potatoes that were divided into large pieces and fried on one side, And unfortunately the price is not justified. Unfortunately I can't leave any other review.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere.

Everything is just right in this restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is unbeatable. Even the kiddie menu with the nuggets was great. Not frozen goods, but freshly prepared and extremely tasty. I am an absolute fan of Olli. He looked after us the entire evening and read our every wish. All the tables were occupied and yet he was always extremely friendly, always had a smile on his face and also really impressed our 9 year old son. He kept an eye on every guest. We haven't met a service person like this in a long time. You should give 10 stars for that alone. We made reservations right there and then for the following day.

Fries are really good Burger songs a bit dry

Wir sind eine Woche im Urlaub in Norden und wollten eigentlich jeden Abend woanders essen. Angefangen haben wir im Doc 8 und sind dort geblieben. Das Ambiente ist sehr einladend und das Team sehr nett. Aber das Essen ist jeden Abend ein Highlight. Es ist schon so appetitlich angerichtet , dass man kaum reinstechen mag . Und der Geschmack ist Mega lecker und die Preise absolut passend .Alles in allem gibt es von uns eine super Empfehlung und ein großes Dankeschön für die tolle Bedienung.

Hello, I didn't eat here, but drank a delicious TH.König Zwickl Kellerbier 0.5. Regarding the service, our service staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambience is beautiful, very rustic meets modern style. I would love to come back, this time also for dinner, thank you to the entire team for a lovely evening.

Went there for lunch today after our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately we weren't that impressed with the food. The expensive steak wasn't that great in terms of taste. One of our guests ordered a burger with chicken and fries. The burger was only lukewarm and the fries were cold when it arrived at the table. We complained about this and got new, hot fries, but the chicken meat was only warmed up again, so the meat was of course dry. The waiter then asked again if she was satisfied, which we had to say no. Last but not least, the burger was not charged and there was a free drink on top. The staff was nice and tried to accommodate us. Unfortunately, the men were a bit disappointed with the steak for the price.

We really liked it. Very good food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere. We'll definitely come back

The food tasted good, very nice service. Price ok. Parking a bit bad

We are thrilled with the store, the atmosphere invites you to stay for a long time. The service team is very friendly and always tries to fulfill all of the guests' wishes, as well as delicious food from the chef (Sandra). We'd love to come back!

As always, friendly staff and very tasty food at reasonable prices in a cozy atmosphere. Update: Nothing has changed in 2025, everything is great and delicious, great creations for lunch!

Eight of us were on a business trip and stopped in for dinner three times. Great service despite the low season and the ambience is first class and we didn't expect that. When it comes to food, we leave some room for improvement with 4/5 stars and think that this was also due to the low season. The pasta dishes were basically sensational, but unfortunately various people had a bit of a "love" with the pasta over the days and the Brauhausschnitzel came out very crispy and couldn't avoid the impression of being "from the deep fryer". The criticism was well received and that is also very important. We would all come back privately.

Der Service war unfassbar freundlich, nicht nur für uns sondern auch für unseren Hund, der direkt ein Wasser bekommen hat. Das Essen war richtig lecker - der Hirschburger und das Super Food - besser hötte es nicht sein können.

Super chic restaurant with excellent food and really great service. It's rare to see this kind of thing. Stay as you are!

A very tastefully coordinated restaurant, very nice staff and delicious food. I can only recommend this slightly hidden restaurant.

The burgers and cocktails were great. And Olli is the best service manager. 😃

Very nice shop. Service very friendly and attentive.

We've been to the dock for dinner twice in the last week and we're very impressed. Very nice and cozy restaurant Very friendly hosts Great food at a fair price. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back! The only drawback 😉: we couldn't take a bottle of the delicious vermouth with us that we were allowed to try. Please let us know if you can buy the good wine!

Very friendly and competent service. Enjoy your meal

Very nice atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. Our dog was also greeted warmly and given water immediately. The dishes were excellent, starting with the greeting from the house. We had a wonderful evening.

The food was great, the service was very nice and attentive and also very child-friendly! If we go on vacation here again, we'll be happy to come back!

Very, very nice restaurant in the heart of the small town of Norden. We had booked one night at smutje and were recommended here. Food was very good, drinks too. Can only recommend the dock no8

Great restaurant. Very attentive and hard-working service. You could literally peel the meat off the spare ribs. Almost like pulled pork. Big praise for the kitchen, bar and service! The ambience is also very appropriate and consistently installed. The detail that the cutlery is placed on the seats exactly as in the restaurant's logo is immediately noticeable. Definitely a place to stop for a break without criticism, even for perfectionists. P.s. The cocktails and homemade schnapps in original test tubes taste very good.

Super nice and attentive service! The food was really delicious!

We also reserved a table at 1:00 p.m. on November 30th and received a confirmation by email. We also came especially north from Hanover and were happy to eat there. And we also stood in front of a closed door. Very unfortunate...

We had for Saturday, November 30th. Ordered a table (12.30 p.m.) and received a reservation confirmation by email. Then we stood in front of closed doors. Closed society, they said. It was not found necessary to cancel us. What bad behavior towards guests, what bad style!! I read in the reviews that this has happened several times. NEVER AGAIN DOCK 8!!!!

Wir hatten für den 30.11. für 12.30 Uhr einen Tisch bestellt und eine Reservierungsbestätigung bekommen. Standen dann vor verschlossenen Türen!!!! Offensichtlich geschlossene Gesellschaft. Wir haben keine Absage bekommen.Wie geht dieser Laden mit seinen Gästen um? Eine Unverschämtheit. Nie wieder!!!!

We had dinner here for our wedding anniversary. 2 adults and a 4 year old. The staff was always friendly and very fond of children. The food was really great and requests were catered for. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend Dock 8!

We would like to thank Matthias and the crew from the dock very much. Starting with the ambience, a particularly buffet and the service. You all contributed to ensuring that our anniversary celebration will be unforgettable. Thanks!

Nice restaurant, excellent food.

We visited the restaurant as a couple as part of a Mexican buffet evening: - Structure of the buffet: very squat, food wasn't continually replenished. - Services: Used dishes were not cleared away, so we did it ourselves. - Drinks: We were told to order the first round of drinks immediately even though we hadn't received a card. For the second round of drinks we had to wait about 20 minutes for the staff to take it. Ambiance: Very nice design and interior on the occasion of the thematic evening.

Wir hatten die Spare ribs vom Mittagsangebot am Samstag für 14,90 Euro mit Pommes und Rotkrautsalat. Grosse Portion, gut geschmeckt. Leider war das Fleisch nur lauwarm was bei der Bewertung ein Stern gekostet hat. Der Service war gut, die Einrichtung ist ok.

Ambience great, service friendly but understaffed, price clearly too high. €35 is clearly too high for a “normal” buffet. The toppings were too slow and the waiting time for dessert was too long.

Docked in the dock again today. Today we had schnitzel, fried potatoes, a bread basket with aioli and the Hokkaido pumpkin soup was a must. Service is very attentive and friendly. Our lunch was delicious, a nice break from everyday life. Thanks to the Dock8 team!

Sehr leckeres Essen zu angemessenen Preisen im schönen Ambiente mit tollem Service! Da das Smutje leider nur noch Frühstück anbietet war es logisch heute im Dock zu speisen! Das Essen war sehr lecker, wir hatten einen Brotkorb mit Aioli zur Vorspeise, zum Hauptgang 2x das Brauhausschnitzel, dazu Lillet zum Special… Das Ambiente ist gemütlich und modern. Der Service sehr aufmerksam und professionell. Wir kommen im nächsten Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder!

Dock No8 is very comfortably furnished and I felt very comfortable. The food is very tasty and the service leaves nothing to be desired. Good atmosphere among the staff. I would love to come back the next time I visit the north.

Very good food, friendly service and a tastefully decorated restaurant.

Schöne Lokation, leckeres Essen, kinderfreundlich (um die Wartezeit zu verkürzen, gab es gleich was zum Malen), guter Service.

We were warmly greeted by a member of staff and at the beginning there was a welcome drink and an amusement. The service was very good, the wine was opened at the table. The food was good. Overall, a nice evening.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious food great ambience. Gladly again.

We ate at Dock No8 for the first time last night and immediately reserved a table for another evening. The food was well prepared and very tasty. The waiters were also friendly and attentive. We had a lovely evening and would love to come back.

Service vom Feinsten: freundlich, zugewandt und professionell. Ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Vorneweg gab es einen kleinen Aperitif und ein paar Oliven, sehr originell angerichtet und köstlich. Das Essen auf warmen Tellern serviert war ebenfalls absolut lecker. Das alles zu einem sehr ordentlichen Preis. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Very nice restaurant. Very friendly service. My husband had schnitzel, which was very good, sauce perfect. I had steak. But I couldn't eat almost a quarter. Too much fluff and sinew. This shouldn't happen with a steak. But it was still very tasty.

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience. Great service and delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Really nice shop and excellent service, thank you Olli!

My family and I had a really great evening with fantastic food, great ambience and very attentive and friendly staff. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely come back! I'm a big fan of attention to detail and you can tell that someone has put some thought into the "theme". Great.
