Hafensänger GmbH & Co. KG in Dornum

The food wasn't worth the money 😞 Burned vegetables, fried potatoes too greasy, rump steak well-done instead of medium. Not recommended!

Always delicious! Great view and cozy atmosphere. We always enjoy eating here, no matter where we're vacationing in the north :)

We wanted to go out to eat. We got a parking ticket for our car and went up the stairs. At the top, we were told that reservations were required. Great, free parking ticket. Perhaps they should put up a sign at the parking lot stating that reservations were required.

Service varies enormously, from super friendly to gloomy! Prices are extremely expensive – a cappuccino on the Champs-Élysées in Paris cost €4.50 this year! The location is, of course, fantastic!

Great view. The vendors at the beach hut are very nice. Unfortunately, the reader at the beach entrance was broken. This kept the ladies busy, causing traffic jams. The burger was delicious. The bratwurst was okay, too. But the fries were overcooked. The restrooms were also completely filthy, and there were no paper towels left.

We like to stop here, sometimes for a beer, sometimes for a meal. It's not exactly cheap, but we like it.

We ate there today. The atmosphere, service and food were all amazing. It was a great visit.

beautiful view, everything is friendly

Nice restaurant (recommendation: use the terrace upstairs, not so crowded), good food, delicious cakes with a great view

The service was unfriendly. We were brushed off so much that we stopped eating there.

The food is very good. Highly recommended. The location is also good. The waiter who served us lacked a bit of friendliness.

Delicious food, top value for money, top service, also with dog 🐕 if you like vegetarian, you are in good hands here

I can only review the Hafensängerimbiss, and specifically the coffee drinks. The Cafe Crema (€3.80) is okay, including the quantity. The Cappuccino (€3.90) is also okay, but the quantity is too small for the money. Alternatives would be the Schlaraffenland ice cream factory, when they're open, with a milk-heavy cappuccino for €3.50, or the MussWessels bakery in the Markant, with the largest cappuccino in terms of quantity for €3.90. In my opinion, the prices at the Hafensängerimbiss are well to slightly overpriced. Fair beach food, I think.

We had a wonderful time here. A small menu with a great taste experience. Great atmosphere, fantastic views of the beach and the sea. The staff was super friendly.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view, friendly staff and delicious cakes

We went there for dinner last night (after making a reservation, only for one hour at a time). We received a very friendly welcome, were seated at a table by the window overlooking the North Sea (unfortunately, it was too uncomfortable for outside), and were given our menus. Immediately afterward, we were served several slices of brown bread, which we dipped in olive oil and special Hafensänger salt and ate beforehand. The waitress explained this very kindly. The meal – a pan-fried fish plate (3 fish fillets/mustard sauce/bacon beans/fried potatoes) arrived promptly and tasted very good. With two glasses of white wine, a large bottle of mineral water, and two pan-fried fish plates, the total came to €75.30. Perhaps not exactly cheap for two people, but then you're sitting in a restaurant and not at a snack bar. So, overall, it was a successful dinner, and we can't understand why some of the reviews were so negative...

Three of us went there. The food was delicious and arrived quickly. The service was very good, but there was a charge for parking. Overall, a good, solid performance, and a fair price. We can recommend a visit with a clear conscience 👍🏼

Unfortunately, it was a private event on our day, so we sat on the terrace... It would have been more comfortable with a few cushions, but it was fine without them too.

Update 6/24/25 We were back today after what felt like an eternity. It's like coming home. Unfortunately, we were only in Dornum/Siel for a short time, but I already know that we'll be back on December 21st, 2025, and will definitely stop by your place again. It's simply fantastic. See you soon 🖐 We were there for the second time on our vacation today. A fantastic view of the sea, etc. The service staff were all nice and friendly. We only had coffee and cake; the dishes that were served to the other guests looked delicious. I liked the spice mix so much that I brought it with me today. We wanted to reserve a table for New Year's Eve, but unfortunately we were too late, but that's okay. We will definitely go back there on our next vacation and eat something. Keep up the good work.

Unfortunately, the value for money here isn't right at all. A burger costs around €20. The ingredients in all the dishes seem to come from cans or convenience stores. The vegetables and potatoes lack flavor, and the meat in the burger or schnitzel is as hard as a shoe sole. However, the service is good, and the beachfront location offers a beautiful view.

Very child-friendly. Our baby was asleep in our arms upon arrival, so we were given a spot with a bench to lay our baby down. There were also art supplies, a high chair, and the restaurant has a unisex changing table.

Very delicious food with a great view of the beach and sea. We received a very friendly welcome and service. They immediately recommended a daily special. We ordered fish and meat, both of which were delicious and came with a colorful salad. The starter included some bread with oil and spices on the house. When the weather is nice, the terrace is a great place to sit. But the interior also offers a great view thanks to the huge windows. The restaurant is highly recommended!

Despite having a reservation and requesting a window, we were seated in the middle of the room – several window seats remained empty throughout our entire visit. The bread was dry, the server was extremely unfriendly, and even more rude after "only" a small tip. Absolutely disappointing for the prices. Never again.

The view is a highlight, and it's worth it. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to sit by the window without a reservation, even though everything was free the whole time. This isn't exactly communicated charmingly when you walk in the door. The food is okay, the fries have their own seasoning; someone really put some thought into that; overall, a very nice restaurant concept. That's rare up here. After my latest visit, I have to deduct a star. You get a cold, taciturn Frisian greeting: "Kitchen is closing soon." You can't order any food or desserts after 8:30 p.m. However, this isn't communicated anywhere on the website or on the menu at the entrance; it's simply assumed that every guest knows. In the spaghetti dishes, the pasta is broken into small pieces; this is absolute sacrilege and can only be done this way for a child's plate. They're also not recommended; the prawn spaghetti with lobster sauce for €29 uses ready-made sauce and frozen vegetables.

Great bar/restaurant on the beach.

Super delicious, would definitely order again :)

The visit to the Hafensänger was simply fantastic! The view was absolutely beautiful and created a relaxed atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the ambiance. The staff was always attentive and friendly. The quality of all the dishes was excellent, and the steak was cooked to perfection. It's also great that dogs are welcome. We had a wonderful evening. We'd be happy to go back anytime!

Very nice location and view, great atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff and the food is delicious.

Very friendly staff. The food was excellent. I haven't had such a good meal in a long time!

Very nice view, great food, friendly service, always recommended.

Super crispy fish sandwiches. Finally, a shop that doesn't serve those disgusting cardboard sandwiches. I hope these delicious fish sandwiches don't fall victim to price pressure. We even drove out of our way to get these sandwiches. Keep up the good work!

A spontaneous late-afternoon visit. Very good burgers—including the veggie option—, top-notch fries, and a very good, generous salad. And that view, too.

Very good service, especially suitable for kids (own menu + something to color in), food was great whether fish, burgers or for kids simply spaghetti bolognese

Sooooo friends... A nice and beautifully decorated restaurant... The mustard sauce served with the pan-fried fish was delicious, and the fish was very well prepared... The fried shrimp with spaghetti was delicious, even if the lobster sauce lacked that final touch. The service was very friendly and quick.

Delicious food and great service! 😊

Small but fine selection of dishes. Great view over the beach, harbor and North Sea. Be sure to reserve the best window seat.

It's really great here. Especially since it's open until 9 p.m.

Very nice staff and very good cuisine with acceptable prices and an excellent view.

The food initially came wrong. The service was not very accommodating. The cutter plaice was served without lemon. Potatoes were like they came from the cafeteria. So the food is pretty mediocre. We didn't get the table of our choice.

Deich burger and chili cheese burger were both cold when they arrived at the table. 55€ for two people with one drink each and rather mediocre food. Service was ok. You pay well for the location rather than the food. Unfortunately no recommendation.

In short: great! Food very decent, asparagus, good, hollandaise sauce as well, the salad was also delicious. Prices are a little higher than in town - but you also get a great view of the mud flats or the sea and definitely the beach. Service friendly and attentive - we will definitely come back next time we visit (Oh - maybe it's better to order tea instead of cappuccino - or just the good Barre-Bräu)

Good food with a nice atmosphere. The service was rather poor. Hopefully the waiter was just having a bad day.

The service staff was average. If you like eating fish, you should stop by Rinjes opposite.

Super friendly staff and really tasty dishes on the clear menu with moderate prices. Always worth a visit.

Unfortunately, the service staff wasn't very friendly in the first contact. I didn't reserve leather, but I still got a table. But I had to clear it again after three minutes, very embarrassing. The explanation: I didn't know what the colleague had planned. This made it so clear to me that the last guest noticed. When I suggested that I wanted to wait, I was told "you don't need to, everything is fully booked". After a conversation with the manager, I decided to take a seat outside. After 7 minutes a waiter came inside and a table became available. What annoyed me the most was that I was rejected but in return a couple who had booked for two were allowed to sit down with 4 people without any problem. In my opinion, the first waitress could use further training in customer friendliness. Kind regards Stephan Hähnke

Great service, delicious food and perfect ambience! Any time

Prices are quite high, outdoor seating is very uncomfortable. The bell at the gate to the beach is incredibly loud and extremely annoying. During my visit, the outside area was being painted with intensely musty paint while it was in operation.

Above all, fantastic views and very tasty food with great portions

You have to have a lot of time, it takes a while to get your food.

No condition outside Although everything is still outside. Service is too cold. Condition doesn't feel like coming out. You are seen and not served

Great restaurant, great food and very friendly and attentive service

Great restaurant. We always enjoy coming here.

Today we had dinner at Hafensänger with 4 people. A great restaurant with an exceptional view. The service was very nice and attentive. All dishes were very plentiful and tasted excellent. We can only recommend a visit.

Good restaurant. Food is very good. Service is friendly and funny. A great view of Baltrum. Dogs are allowed. A bowl of water would be nice. They would definitely have brought it if I had asked for it. But it only occurred to me when I went out. We'll be back 😊

We had coffee and cake and were completely satisfied.

The Hafensänger is the ideal place to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the North Sea and the islands behind it with good food and the best service. A reservation is essential, especially in high season. When the weather is good, you can use the outdoor terrace for coffee and cake. Not barrier-free. A must for everyone.

A restaurant in a great location. The view is great, the service is great and the food is excellent.

Very tasty cake and coffee. The elevated position of the restaurant offers a 360 degree view of the water and islands. Highly recommended. 👍

We were at the Hafensänger in mid-January. It was one of the few restaurants open and we were very happy about that. A great ambience, great service, a menu with something for everyone and really, really tasty food. We liked it so much that we went there a second time. This time too everything was great. We can only recommend the Hafensänger and advise it to reserve a table (except for the month of January, very few customers). We'll definitely be back

Ambiance great great service too. Food very tasty, portions sufficient. My husband had duck and I had the fish burger. One point deducted from the duck was that there was so much red cabbage and there was a little bit of duck in relation to it and there was little sauce. But taste great

Is highly recommended, large selection of delicious cakes and dishes

The restaurant is located directly on the beach. Terrace, outdoor area available. Nice ambience. Delicious food. Good, quick service. .....unfortunately the waiter was a bit annoyed, which he emphasized with comments. But everyone has a bad day sometimes...

Located directly at the harbor in a large parking lot. Great view, weather permitting, and good cuisine. Beforehand there was delicious, fluffy bread, olive oil and our own salt/spice mixture. The menu is not extensive, but absolutely sufficient. The dishes are attractively prepared and very tasty. The ambience is suitably maritime. Four-legged friends are also very welcome, which is expressly pointed out outside. A great idea: Instead of paying a fee for using the toilet, we ask for a donation to the DGzRS (German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People).

Very nice atmosphere and great food. Tastes as good as it looks. Portions are plentiful and large.

Great atmosphere, even in winter. Unfortunately, even after 15 minutes inside, we were neither noticed nor served, nor were the dishes put away by the previous person who was leaving when we arrived. If you can't manage the service in winter, how will it work in summer. Certainly personnel saving measures, but at the wrong end. We then left without anything.

The restaurant not only offers a beautiful view of the sea and the harbor, but is also characterized by tasty food. The service is extremely friendly and attentive. First there is bread with olive oil and seasoned salt, followed by the food. Dogs are welcome and water is provided at the entrance for four-legged friends. Will definitely come back…

The view is great, the staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. Here you get e.g. B. Labskaus, which is slowly becoming rare. Reservations are recommended.

A great atmosphere, the service is very good and the food is delicious,

We felt like we were in good hands. The food was great and really tasty.

Good food at a reasonable price

Actually just wanted something to drink. Then ate like a prince. Terrific. Service was super nice. Prices relatively typical for the area. Maybe a little more but okay given the location. Come back 👍

The best place I've ever been. The service is at the highest level, the food is delicious 😋 and fast, and everything is always the freshest. I recommend it.

Very good food, very friendly staff and a very nice atmosphere with a great view of the North Sea

Hello, my dears We're currently sitting in Hafensänger at Christmas time! Christmas music plays very pleasantly in the background, the decoration is appropriate to the season and the service is simply very accommodating! Not pushy at all, but very attentive! A lovely, unforgettable evening with delicious food! The rump steak is highly recommended! Everything is very attractively presented! So we're happy to give 5 stars and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Super delicious food. The small card is positive. Very nice staff. We always enjoy eating there. With beautiful views of the North Sea and islands.

Restaurant with beautiful view Too bad the pastries were gone

The food was very good, I just have strict standards for the price here. We had more like starters and it was really tasty. The service was super friendly and the ambience speaks for itself given the location. By the way, the tea was also very good.

Starting: Parking in front of the house at the harbor costs at least 2.5 euros (24/7) for 2 hours, although it is a municipal matter but annoying. You have a nice view, but unfortunately you can't see much during the day when it's dark. Ambiance is not that great, more like a better canteen, a bit too loud. Reminds me a little of Dammer Berge (motorway service station). Food is okay but way too expensive considering the quantity and quality. Drinks are also too expensive. Staff is very friendly. In any case, it's not my case.

The portion size of the fried fish and the taste was extremely good.

I can only give 5 stars for the ambience. Very cozy 👍

Mega delicious food and super nice service. And the view is magnificent. Everything perfect. We'll be back. Thank you 🥰

Very good restaurant at the harbor Dornumersiel

This Imbissbuud is vööls to düür. I can't tell you anything about that food, but I don't want to eat it again.

Unfortunately there is a lot of through traffic from beach vacationers

Very nice restaurant with an impressive view over the Wadden Sea. The food is very tasty and the service is top notch. I will definitely come back.

We were at Hafensänger last night and luckily we had a reservation. Service was great. Super nice and attentive. The food was great. Great taste.

Good average. Great location and wonderful view.

The food is very good, the staff is friendly, the prices are very high. Just a tourist place

Great food and lovely waitresses. It's a bit warm in the summer, I think ventilation would not go a miss. View superb.

We spent a wonderful morning on the beach in Dornumersiel. Then we decided to have something to eat at the Hafensänger in the beach stall, i.e. in the lower area. For 3 people, currywurst with fries and a drink paid an impressive 40.80 euros. Our pager was broken and didn't vibrate to let us know our food was ready. After about 15-20 minutes I went to ask. Our food was there. The lady there said well now it's cold. I told her that the pager didn't vibrate and was probably defective. The people there weren't interested! That was super outrageous!!!!!!!!! We then ate it cold and were really served! It's better to walk a few meters over to Rintjes. You won't see us again! This is not how you treat customers and PEOPLE! By the way, the fries were hard and too long!

I've never eaten such bad kibbeling in my entire life.

Nice view of the sea. Service great. Food top. We go every year at the end of the vacation. Always good. The Deichburger 👍😊

The Finkenwerder plaice could have stayed in the pan a little longer… the taste was weak… the service… it was there… friendliness looks different… A ray of hope the beautiful view over the Wadden Sea…

Great restaurant for a bite to eat. 1x deichburger with fries. 1x wienersnitzel with gingerbread. Small menu, what was served was just good! Price-quality is fine. Bank card or cash payment possible.

Very nice location, extremely courteous service and solid food. The quality of the food cannot keep up with the prices.

The fish was good, but the vegetarian curry was unfortunately pretty bland. But much worse: Everything inside is full of (cross) spiders!! And that's not from today. If everything is so posh, I don't understand why they don't clean it every day and pay attention to things like that. That really wasn't nice!

The Hafensänger restaurant is located directly on the beach with a view of the North Sea. The restaurant has thoughtful, friendly staff. The food is exceptional, value for money is absolutely ok. You get dishes that are unique in their composition and simply interpreted differently and are therefore a pleasure. We felt very, very comfortable.

Very good service staff, friendly, courteous and attentive. We felt very comfortable, the ambience was also very nice, we sat in the middle and could look right and left and straight ahead at the water and the food was excellent, see pictures

Restaurant (above): The Deichburger is wonderful! Juicy beef, great rolls, cheese and sauce were great and the fries (cut by hand) were also very tasty (20 euros)!!! Plus a barre beer! Mega!!!! The service is very friendly and attentive. Recommendation!!!

Been there for a wedding. Great staff (see child friendliness) and the food etc is really great. The view of the harbor and the sea creates a great overall impression. The photo was taken on the terrace of the restaurant 😉
