Hafenhaus in Emden

Very nice, spacious location away from the hustle and bustle. Definitely a recommendation!

Great restaurant, nice and attentive staff and delicious food

I'm at a loss for words, such a beautiful restaurant with very nice staff and the food is just perfect

Unfortunately a very disappointing visit. The Hafenhaus schnitzel was frozen, the accompanying rösti were frozen potato pancakes and all for over €20. The service was very rude, so you didn't feel particularly comfortable at this point either. My wife's bowl consisted of leaf lettuce and two matjes that tasted like nothing. That's not what we mean by bowl. It's a shame because the ambience is great. Unfortunately, that doesn't save us in the end.

Today we had breakfast with 7 people. First of all we waited over 30 minutes for the tea. Then there were no rolls. The scrambled eggs were cold. There was only one type of cold cuts and other things that we didn't like. We've had a better breakfast there. Were very disappointed.

The buffet is really first class. Huge selection for vegetarians too. Unfortunately, the reserved space for our group was a bit tight.

Für 16€ Frühstück, kann man erwarten, dass die Brötchen frisch sind, die Salate zumindest umgerührt bzw. umgefüllt in saubere Schalen und das Geschirr, der Sitzplatz/Fußboden sauber sind. Wir werden erstmal doch nicht mehr frühstücken. Da gibt es bessere Adressen.

Very modern, delicious food and warm service.

Good, cheap lunch. Fast and friendly service. Indoor and outdoor dining. View of the Hesfen from Emden.

The restaurant may not be the best choice for those with less adventurous dietary needs, as the selection may be limited in this case. It's best to check the daily menu. However, if you appreciate good food at a high level, this is the place for you. I also like to use the Hafenhaus for business events or privately.

Was invited to breakfast in the harbor house! The selection was sufficiently large and of good quality! The ambience is worth seeing, you have the feeling of sitting directly in the water! The decor is very stylish! In my opinion the hot drinks should be included in the breakfast price but okay that wasn't it! Otherwise it's a nice restaurant! However, the parking situation is not very nice! Nevertheless, I would go again!

Full points for past visits Where has the esprit gone – in the past with many highlights, today with light and shadow. Last Sunday evening we visited the harbor house full of anticipation, but disillusionment quickly set in. °°Service: Alone in a wide area A single service person for the entire restaurant - that's simply not necessary. If you call in sick, someone has to step in, whether it be a colleague, boss or restaurant manager. Our wait was short, but there were abandoned, uncleared tables around us - not exactly inviting. °°Food: Solid, but unimaginative House bread with three dips and gratinated goat cheese - we weren't expecting anything unusual, but we know it differently from here. Then the Hafenhaus Bowl - a prepared bowl with simple ingredients and hardly any dressing - you can't discuss prices in the restaurant, but 24 euros (with two extra ingredients) at least allows for expectations. °°Wine list: A look into the past White, rosé or red – that’s all the drinks menu offered. Instead of a small selection, we found an offer that doesn't add much emphasis. Or is there a map on request? Luckily Jever Pils is available. °° Conclusion: A nice place, but not like before. The harbor house shines with its ambience, but the offering has lost its shine. The service was extremely attentive and friendly, but overwhelmed in the situation, and in our case the kitchen was rather simple. We hope that the restaurant finds its way back to its previous level - until then, the memories of great evenings with excellent food will remain. But we'll be back!!

We were served very nicely and the dinner tasted delicious. If we're in Emden again, we'll be happy to come back!

Very hospitable, breakfast buffet plentiful and very tasty. In some cases, the clearing of tables in the outdoor area is neglected.

Unfortunately, price and performance do not match here. One meal was oversalted, the other had no salt at all. Supplements were forgotten and only brought when asked. Service unfortunately not attentive and interested. It's a shame because of the beautiful location.

Hello, hello. As a supplier to Linde Gas, I can only say good things. The manager is a very nice person and very helpful. I'll be happy to come back, even if it's just to pick up old bottles :) LG

Everything was very tasty, the service was very friendly and attentive.

Had a great birthday meal in a unique location

Were there with a group of 19 men. Went in for coffee and cake. Everything was good, we were satisfied

Nice restaurant and café at the old inland harbor. Beautiful interior design and a great view of the Delft.

We found this lovely restaurant by chance. Very tasty food and very attentive, friendly staff. Absolute recommendation.

Was there for breakfast, the service was very friendly.

Beautiful location with a view of the Delft. Barrier-free entrance to Delft. Small step from the main entrance. Disabled-accessible toilet available. Good breakfast with a special selection of hot items. Scrambled eggs and bacon, but also kibbeling, small. Spring rolls, sausages, meatballs and Kaiserschmarrn. Otherwise a good selection, including rice pudding and red porridge, but no other special features. Very good standard. Nice, quick service. Warm drinks to be paid extra. 2 juices and water included in the price. Price-performance is right.

😋Today I had a delicious rump steak with truffle fries, the food was really delicious, I was very enthusiastic about the food, I can only give my respect to the chefs for what they did despite the stress and my full respect to the service staff... I can recommend the hafen Haus Emden to everyone

We had reserved. It was storming and drizzling outside this morning. In anticipation, we were there at 8:55 a.m., the door open, the lights on. Once inside, we were briskly informed that opening times were from 9 a.m. Before we were allowed to ask if we could just sit down somewhere, one lady said to the next that they wanted to lock the door starting tomorrow. Because of this friendly attitude, we left and will not (ever) come back. We then went to the better rated café “Der Ostfriese” on the market square and the breakfast buffet was excellent and the service was very, very, very nice. No wonder it's rated better.

Great restaurant, wonderful breakfast buffet, great service

Full of praise for the Sunday breakfast. Huge selection, everything fresh and beautifully prepared. Unfortunately, with the rush at 10 a.m., the service was overwhelmed, so we had to wait a long time for our drinks. We made arrangements and it was very nice. We always like to come back.

We were just eating. We had plaice that was completely salty. And that with 14 people 🤷‍♂️ No problem, we got another 14 new ones. Unfortunately there was no fish cutlery available which I would have liked in a restaurant of this level. Service was ok so far…

Very long waiting times between courses. Quality average.

We wanted to eat here on Thursday. When we came in, we were surprised that hardly any table had food. After we got a drink menu for 5 people, we chose our drinks. Even after 25 minutes had passed after ordering, we still had nothing to drink. After looking at the menu, which has been drastically reduced compared to previous years and prices that a normal earner can hardly afford, we wanted to cancel our drinks. It turned out that our order had not been processed even after 25 minutes. There were 6 other tables before us. We said goodbye and spent a nice evening in another restaurant with more affordable prices and faster service. We will not visit the harbor house again.

The view from the harbor house is really beautiful and maritime. But if you want to wait a long time for your drink or something else, this is the right place for you. There was hardly anything going on, but the service staff were completely overwhelmed.

Super tasty and the staff is also very nice. It should also be mentioned if you are a dog owner. Can you take your four-legged friend with you?

Enjoy your meal. Great service. And the location directly at Emden harbor. Is worth a visit.

Great shop, great breakfast. However, the staff was very slow in ordering drinks.

It's a shame - the breakfast buffet was better. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer right.

Because of the unfriendly reception and the allocation of the worst table with no alternative when the restaurant was only half full, we left again with the information that we had just made a reservation (which was demonstrably not true) and then had a delicious meal in the immediate vicinity with friendly service.

Super tasty cakes The food is also good, just sometimes a little bit on the plate.

It's nice to sit here at the harbor with a view of the water, nice terrace. We just had a drink. Non-alcoholic wheat was ice cold 👍, Alster was, like in many restaurants that have the soda on the counter, so-so👎. That's why only 4 stars...🤷‍♂️

Sitting really wonderfully at the harbor, but the service is a bit of a disaster. We've been here three times because we thought it could only be an exception but unfortunately it happened every time. In addition, the prices here do not match the quality of the food. It's a shame, but unfortunately we won't be coming back.

Had brunch at the Hafenhaus today on August 24th, 2024. It was very tasty and the ambience is also very nice. We'd love to come back.

Very good food, especially pan fish, recommended.

Nice and friendly staff. There is a terrace and a floating terrace. We ate delicious fish and chips with dessert for 9.90 price and Performance is good, we'll be back.

having a cup of coffee, with a view of the marina

Clean Service 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 Ambiance Priced a little higher than normal - but justified. The food was great - we shared the starter crab soup within seconds even though it was very hot 😋😋😋😋😋 see pic. The terrace was opened especially for us by the friendly waiter ☝🏽❣️🌞❣️☝🏽

The food was great. The service was very, very friendly. We were a large group and some of us didn't know how to behave. Sry for that. However, the process needs to be worked on. We waited a really long time for drinks and every now and then something was wrong and something else was forgotten.

We were there with 3 people and sat outside. The restaurant is very nicely done and has a great location right on the Delft with a beautiful view. Apparently the waiters forgot about us because our order wasn't taken for ages. The drinks, which only came to the table shortly before the meal, took a similar amount of time. Unfortunately, there were also incorrect cards with dishes that were no longer current, but they apologized a thousand times for that. The food was very tasty and of high quality, only the schnitzel could have been a little warmer, I think that it was ready first and was already sitting around for a while. Overall, great taste! For the price, we would have expected a slightly larger portion, but that is also a very subjective feeling. However, we were all just barely full. Overall a great visit with very slow but friendly service. My points of criticism are minor things, but they should actually be a must for a high-priced restaurant like the Hafenhaus. Nevertheless, we will come back and really enjoyed the food.

Waited a long time for service and food. The waitress preferred to clean the tables rather than take our order. Supplements arrived late.

Unfortunately we had to wait longer to order and also for the food. Side dishes didn't arrive until about 5 minutes later. Too bad. The ambience promised more.

Service was super nice, food was delicious, the ambience by the water is unbeatable. However, you also pay a little more for it.

We have been guests here several times and it has always been impeccable. Now we celebrated here with a closed group. And everything was great that evening too. Great, attentive service, good food and a great view of the water. Plus loving decoration. It doesn't actually get any better.

It used to be cheaper, friendlier, had a larger selection and the quality was simply better and €8.50 for a real and very dry chicken breast is actually really unreasonable. 😅

We wanted to eat there today. After more than 40 minutes, no one came to take our order. Too bad.

Unfortunately there was very little choice and for the price we would have expected more in terms of taste. The salad was very bitter and not recommended.

Breakfast on August 7th a disaster! Something was always missing and was filled very slowly or not at all. (just a few examples: bread, croissant, scrambled eggs) I've been there several times, but this time will probably be the last time if I can afford it. Boiled eggs, raw ham, meat and a few other little things were completely missing. I had to look for the staff to order another pot of coffee, so I skipped the pot of tea.

Great ambience - unbeatably beautiful at the harbor, service very friendly, the food can be improved in terms of price-performance ratio.

We were there for the breakfast buffet with pre-booked seats during the week. It was very tasty and plenty of choice. The prices are reasonably good and we will happily come back.

The service is incredibly slow. Quality goes like this... All in all we waited 45 minutes for our food. And the store was almost empty and there were 4 waitresses on site And the store is expensive too. A clear steer clear.

Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as the price/performance ratio. It's a shame

Auch dieses Lokal war eine Empfehlung - zu Recht! Wir besuchten es drei Mal während unseres Urlaubs. Jedes Mal waren die Fischgerichte (Pannfisch, Krabensuppe, etc) sehr gut. Service ist freundlich und flink. Preisniveau leicht oberhalb Mitelwert, aber bei der gebotenen Qualität angemessen.

Very good restaurant right on the Delft.

Extraordinary environment in the middle of Emden. Very good food and nice staff.

I wonder if the chef or owner has changed because the quality and sophistication of the cuisine has extremely decreased. Hardly any vegetarian dishes left. We were there for lunch and the dishes were very carelessly prepared and presented...a shame. The children's play area was unfortunately a mess, but at least there was one.

We happened to eat here by chance. My wife had fish and chips from the lunch menu for €9.90, I had a 3-course menu consisting of herring tartare on lamb's lettuce, herring burger with fried potatoes and a peach sorbet for €15.90. The food was excellent and plentiful. The service was very friendly and quick. The ambience was great. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the breakfast was very poor. Price performance no longer fits here at all. The buffet is significantly smaller and has less choice than usual. There is no longer any Ojuice. The rolls were very hard and there was hardly any choice here either..

The food was very tasty, the special thing was that we also got dessert. The staff was very friendly and the price-performance ratio was extremely good.

Everything was good, but the service staff could have worn cleaner clothes. Hopefully just a coincidence

Nice, friendly service in a very nice ambience with maritime fair... The breakfast buffet was lavish and invited you to enjoy your meal... If you have the opportunity, you will find a nice location here...🤓🤓🤓

Meine Frau und ich fragten nach einer Stunde Wartezeit nach unserem Nachtessen. Wohlverstanden bestellten wir zwei Salate (Cesar Salat und Hafenhaussalat). Tatsächlich haben sie trotz wenig Gästen uns vergessen den zubereitete Salat zu servieren… Uns wurde ein frischer Salat angeboten, welcher wir kurze Zeit später erhielten. Der Salat war schlampig und vom Dressing ertränkt… Wir waren das erste und letzte Mal hier!

Mittags hatten wir in dem gepflegten Lokal mit Blick auf den Delft ein leckeres Krabbenbrötchen genossen. Da auf der Speisekarte eine "Ganze Scholle" (29,50 €) angeboten wurde, reservierten wir auch für den Abend. Eine krasse Fehlentscheidung! Serviert wurde eine schwammige, wässrige Scholle, die offenbar tiefgefroren und dann turbo aufgetaut worden war. Auf unsere Beschwerde kam aus der Küche die Bestätigung mit dem Hinweis, auf der Karte sei ja auch nicht "frische Scholle" gestanden. Das in Emden am Hafen!! Das wäre uns bei unserem Fischhändler im küstenfernen Bayern sicher nicht passiert.

It was a nice experience that I don't need again! The service and ambience were okay. Unfortunately, the food was cold and very undercooked. A no go for this price range!!!

Unfortunately the staff was a bit overwhelmed and unfriendly. But the cheesecake was delicious.

The service is friendly and attentive, with a view of the water you can only do everything right, the breakfast buffet is varied and tasty. There is criticism when it comes to hygiene in the toilet. Missing dry towels - toilet paper instead, regular checks would be desirable.

Went there for breakfast, I've rarely seen such a brilliant buffet, very big cinema, super friendly service, you can see what makes good staff, I hope the boss also appreciates them. Just👍👍👍

I ate plaice with fritters. It was delicious.

No longer the first house on the site! 2. Update The menu has been expanded slightly and the already high price level has been significantly increased again. So we looked for an alternative yesterday and found it. 1.Update I visited Hafenhaus with 3 relatives and wanted to be inspired by the menu, so I wasn't committed yet. But the map had shrunk to an absolute minimum. My guests were also disappointed as they were looking forward to a decent selection of fish dishes. I ended up getting the harbor house burger, which I enjoyed, but I was expecting something different. When I asked, I found out that both the management and the kitchen team had changed and that the Hafenhaus would be presenting a new menu from June. Since I'll be back in Emden from mid-June, I'll make a new attempt. In any case, with the current map, the Hafenhaus is no longer playing in the top league. However, the friendly service was still there, as was the ambience, of course. Original rating: My choice: Dips with 3 sauces Bruschetta asparagus Harbor house crab soup Wine is also available in ½l carafes, I can recommend the Primitivo. I felt very comfortable again, and the excellent, friendly service also contributed to this. The Hafenhaus remains my first choice in Emden.

We had a great evening here today, the food was brilliant, so delicious. Thanks to the chef, and of course also to the service. Always happy ❤️👍🏼🙋‍♀️

Very good food and nice service! Seems a bit classy, ​​but it's really ok and affordable!

We wanted to have a coffee there on the port days, but the terrace of the location was closed due to a lack of staff and you were no longer allowed to sit down! Great ad ;-((

It's easy to visit, it tastes good and we recommend it!!

The breakfast offering has been expanded to include some delicacies. The staff was very friendly and on the ball, which wasn't always the case in the past. On the whole you feel comfortable. Addendum and therefore unfortunately deducting stars.. But once again we made a reservation and were then able to leave because the date was entered incorrectly. . It was nice to spontaneously find something different with 18 people even though it was proven that a reservation had been made.

Unfortunately, today's breakfast buffet in the harbor house was not as usual. It was very reduced, very poor quality. At 10:30 a.m. nothing was filled, no scrambled eggs, no bacon, the cold cuts from the day before. Rolls were not refilled, then when asked, simple baked rolls were added half an hour later. Unfortunately, things have gotten very worse. My friends who accompanied me also felt the same way. Heike, Ellen and Carola

I know the Hafenhaus differently, I always liked going to the breakfast buffet, unfortunately today there was very no choice of food and it was of poor quality, no fresh rolls, just frozen things that weren't even quite ready and there was nothing marked, it wasn't even one boiled egg for our child. Please, dear HafenHaus, bring back the good breakfast buffet THANKS

Liebes Hafenhaus, das war heute schon sehr grenzwwertig. Auf einer Minikarte (1 Seite) war die ganze Dinnerauswahl zu finden. Da sah man viele Gäste, wie sie an der Karte reibend die 2. Seite suchten. Zur allgemeinen Kritik möchte ich den Salat für 14,50 € anführen. Ganze 5 halbe Cherrytomaten und 5 hauchdünn geschnittene Gurkenscheiben säumten und dekorierten den Rand. In der Mitte jede Menge einfacher Blattsalat, dazu ein paar Nüsse, "Karottensplitter" und ein Prise Sprossen, -das war es. Das Dressing: wirklich gut. Trotzdem bleibt ein trübes Gefühl von WER-NIMMT-MICH-DENN-HIER-NICHT-ERNST. Es spricht nichts dagegen, reich zu werden, -aber bitte nicht auf meine Kosten.

Nice place on the Delft with a view of the water. Breakfast buffet, tea in the afternoon or dinner in the evening 👌

You can have a beer here very comfortably by the water

Very nice staff, nice atmosphere, delicious food

Goodbye harbor house! We celebrated our wedding there years ago. Since then, regular guests who have had to experience the constant decline in service and friendliness. So now the last visit We went to the harbor house at 12 o'clock. It took 25 minutes before we were allowed to order drinks. There was no regular menu, on the grounds that there were only 2 chefs on site (which was always the case). There was no answer to the query, the service simply left. After another 15 minutes without drinks we decided to leave. We wanted to pay for the drinks we ordered. Both waitresses looked at each other with question marks...the lady forgot the order. Strong performance with very few guests. It's a shame, it used to be nice.

Rolls rock hard...scrambled eggs fried to death and service staff who had absolutely no desire...never again

This restaurant was much better a few years ago, food is still okey

Today we were at the Hafenhaus again from 9:30 a.m. with 11 people (former classmates) for breakfast brunch. We were registered. We were seated at two uncovered tables. We took over the task of setting up for the overworked service staff. The first filling of our plates was unsuccessful. The containers for scrambled eggs, bacon, etc. were already empty. On the second attempt, the containers were still empty, as were many other containers (cheese, salmon, sausage, etc.) We were informed by a very exaggerated-looking service manager that it was a service employee's first day at work and that we probably had time with us. There were many more shortcomings! In the house the ratio between the number of guests and the service staff was not correct at all. We were really very disappointed and left the restaurant very dissatisfied!!!!

The tea was wonderful. Unfortunately there were no waffles in the morning. Very nice staff, reasonable price and the location right on the water make this restaurant very attractive and I will certainly be happy to come back.

The lunch menu had a good selection, very attentive service, great value for money. Last but not least, there was a greeting from the kitchen in the form of a very tasty dessert. The open house wine is highly recommended

Hatten einen Tisch reservier um 09.30 sind gleich zum Tisch begleitet worden die Bedienungen zwei an der zahl Top man muss sich wunder das die das Rocken dann ging es los 10:00 keine Brötchen mehr da gekocht Eier auch nicht auf anfrage bei der Bedienung laut Küche gibt keine mehr. Das was dann nicht okay war ist das die Küchenkraft zu Koch hinterm Tresen noch sagt irgendwann ist ja auch mal gut. Absolut ein Frechheit. Für uns ist das nicht mal ein Stern.

We were there 2 years ago, it was great and so we wanted to experience it again today. Unfortunately the breakfast buffet was a real disappointment. Rolls hard and dry, bread wasn't replenished and what was there was old. The fruit was definitely not from today. No small spoons to be found. Unfortunately the service was not at all motivated. We weren't the only ones who were really disappointed. When we paid we expressed this in a friendly manner and were told that they were changing the buffet and there was a shortage of staff. Very sad that the quality has to suffer. The atmosphere is really great.

The breakfast buffet was very clear! I was missing the names of the individual items, especially for allergy sufferers! No bowls for desserts, no small spoons! Service wasn't really tried! The ambience is very nice, including the view! It's a shame, the harbor house was very good in earlier times! Was not nice!

A very nice restaurant but unfortunately the buffet on a Sunday was very manageable... Service wasn't attentive so you might have been able to order something more. We won't be coming back for a while!

Sunday buffet! Baked rolls, the smaller ones very hard, inedible! I could have done better at home, probably savings program! No signage on the goods! Very often there are no plates or glasses for juice! There was actually enough staff there to handle it!! It's a shame, I won't go there anymore!

Nice atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Nice restaurant, delicious food, the service could be a little more attentive, maybe one employee isn't enough.

Great ambience Good selection at the buffet Bread and rolls a bit dry
