Mahlzeit Am Meer in Cuxhaven

Beautiful old building, stylish interior, very good, friendly, competent service and high-quality but not over-the-top cuisine! Pleasant lighting, music volume just right, reasonable clientele! Here, professionals know what makes good gastronomy! Always happy to come back!!!

I was there spontaneously on a Monday morning for the breakfast buffet, without a reservation. The service was super attentive! I was greeted warmly as soon as I walked in. The drink also came quickly. The buffet was more than sufficient and very tasty.

Food was delicious, service was friendly... But ! Selling bottled water that, according to the internet, is no longer produced shows to me that it is bottled by yourself, which is what you should say. Or am I seeing this wrong? Thanks for the quick answer and I'll give it 4 stars. 🥰

We stayed at the hotel for a weekend and had also booked breakfast. The room with a balcony was great. Although above the restaurant, we didn't hear anything about the operation. We ate in the restaurant on Saturday. My meal was very tasty. Unfortunately my husband's schnitzel wasn't that great. But the ambience and service were first class. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful food at fair prices, a beautiful location and great service!

Great ambience in this historic building. Well done, you'll want to stay here for a long time. The service is ok, waitress can be a bit cold, but that is perhaps typically Nordic. We had a fish platter for 2 people. It was quite tasty, but the fish was slightly overcooked. We would still come back, just because of the beautiful restaurant.

The breakfast buffet is extensive and there is something for everyone. A glass of sparkling wine and orange juice is also included. The service was very attentive and brought fresh coffee and cleared plates several times. Price-performance is right!

We spontaneously visited you on Saturday and were lucky to get a place. Particularly noteworthy is the service team - courteous, fast - a real service experience. The food was also very tasty 👌 We'll be back.

yes, absolutely great. Everything tasted really good, the fries, the Wiener schnitzel with cranberries, lemon, capers and anchovies. then the side salad and the divine dessert, wonderful.

One of our favorite restaurants in Cuxhaven for years. In the winter garden the small stools aren't great for taller people, so a small point deduction for the ambience. Otherwise everything is great!

Very tasty food, great ambience, a fantastic dessert and the friendly service more than deserved the five stars.

No attention from the staff when the drinks are gone.

I had the Surf&Turf and my husband had the Scholle Büsumer Art. We travel a lot together and my husband has also eaten in a lot of restaurants for work. Normally we don't rate either. But in this case, you just have to say that this restaurant delivered the best food in a long time. This restaurant is absolutely recommended in all respects.

Top food and top service, we are very satisfied. Unfortunately I have to deduct 1 star because of the loud background noise. Definitely coming back. Oh yes, always book a table in advance.

Very tasty food and super nice service

Our absolute favorite restaurant in Cuxhaven. Everything has always worked out for us and our two children. (Children pay for The main course is €1 each depending on your age, nice idea), so it's an absolute must if we're there place are. Best seats felt towards the street, but also in the back area, quieter, but still great ambience. Service is always very strong. We'd love to come back!

A really chic location with excellent cuisine. The service is very attentive and friendly. We always enjoy coming here. This time on New Year's Day with friends who were also thrilled.

We were there on December 30th. three of them there. Even though it was really busy, the service was good and the wait for the food was okay at 35 minutes. The wait was definitely worth it. We had 1x plaice, 1x spaghetti aglio/olio and 1x sliced ​​veal. Both meat and fish were fried really well, absolutely to the point. The side dishes were very nicely prepared and also absolutely tasty. The prices are totally okay for the quality, especially compared to other restaurants in Duhnen. We would definitely like to come back. Thank you for the delicious food!

Great restaurant. The food and drinks were great. Especially the Nordic bruschetta and the freshly brewed iced tea. The Holstein schnitzel could use a little more “variety”. I also know it with crabs. Friendly and quick service. Great ambience too. We want to come back! :)

Delicious breakfast on Christmas Eve, nice service, great buffet and atmosphere was also right, highly recommended!

A wonderfully cozy restaurant with delicious food. Highly recommended

Where else can you find a classic shrimp cocktail? Right, here... and everything is super tasty and friendly ❤️

We have been going here for a few years now and are always satisfied. We have just eaten the Wiener or Holsteiner Schnitzel and are thrilled. Very good quality and also excellent in taste. Hot and out of the pan, it couldn't be better. The service and ambience are not inferior. We'll be back. 👍🏼

Das Essen ist wirklich gut, der Service immer zuvorkommend, aber nie belästigend. Leider kam eine große Runde mit sehr kleinen Kindern, diese waren sehr laut, aber dafür kann das Restaurant nichts. Alles in allem: immer wieder gerne, sie bereiten einem den schönsten Geburtstag!

Please always reserve a table without being told there are no free tables

Despite a table reservation and several tables that were free until the end, the receptionist assigned us a table at the plate and cake depot. The goose leg was marathon-cooked and not seasoned with Brussels sprouts a la macho. But otherwise everything was al dente.

Sehr uriges Restaurant mit tollem Ambiente und hervorragender Küche. Wir kommen gerne wieder

“Career + history/update from 2022 to 2024” Very high quality. Very nice service. The food (we had a fish platter for two) was great. The cooking point and taste was spot on and perfect. We'll definitely be back. After our first positive experience, we drove back to Duhnen to enjoy this delicious fish platter a second time. The renewed exceptionally positive taste experience confirms our opinion that this cuisine is of exceptionally good quality. The entire evening meal was again absolutely delicious and the fish was fried to perfection. Our high expectations were once again completely met in all respects. The next morning we also took advantage of the breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, that had nothing to do with the quality of the dinner. The offering was sufficient, but the overall quality (tea bags, no rock candy, various types of cheese, some of which were dried) of the breakfast buffet unfortunately only deserves 4 stars. We will certainly come back. Supplementary/Addendum from November 8th, 2024: Yes, remembering the great taste experiences, we set off again and drove the motorhome to eat fish in Duhnen at the Meal am Meer restaurant. After reserving a table for two, we were full of anticipation and found the familiar face of the friendly service as well as the hospitable and familiar decor of the restaurant. The attentive service was really very friendly and nice. In addition to the fish platter for two, our order included a bottle of water and a bottle of Chardonnay. The reserved table was quickly set and after a short wait the fish platter and the accompanying side dishes were brought. It became clear to us very quickly that our expectations could not be met. The fish platter did not consist of an oval platter, as is well known, on which everything was beautifully arranged, but of a plate and bowls for the potatoes. Yes, what can we say? Briefly and simply explained, everything tasted according to the usual run-of-the-mill procedures. As a result, we found that our expectations could not be met at all due to a lack of substance in terms of the method of preparation and the products used. Yes, the amount of fish to choose from was good. But the quality of the different products and the preparation does not correspond to what we knew. As a result, the fish was dry and without the familiar taste. We then communicated our disappointment to the friendly waitress and explained it. Apparently, in the last few months, not only the chef but also the claim has changed several times. Really a shame. In any case, we won't be coming back for this quality, which is available everywhere where fish is prepared carelessly. PS: The nice waitress who assured us that she would pass on our complaint then brought us an espresso and a Williams as compensation.

The food was good. The staff was very friendly, courteous and competent.

Hochpreisig ja, vielleicht nicht für jeden Tag, aber das Geld wert.

Ein reichhaltiges Buffett und ein superfreundlicher Service.

A pleasant place to stay and you will receive a friendly welcome. The heart ❤️ beats faster here if you like fish 🐟. The fish platter is super tasty. We'd love to come back here too. And can highly recommend it.

Unfortunately the waitress was probably having a bad day. But food was very good.

Very friendly staff. The buffet was constantly refilled with fresh food.

Wie immer sehr schön, der Service freundlich, nett und auf Zack, ohne einen gestressten Eindruck zu machen, das Frühstücksbuffet nicht überladen, aber völlig ausreichend, das Ambiente (im Wintergarten) sowieso urgemütlich :) "Nachteil" : die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug...

Essen war ok aber nichts besonderes im Gegensatz zum Preis.

Nette Bedienung, leckeres Essen, das schnell und heiß auf den Tisch kam

Es war sehr schön und empfehlenswert. Ein sehr schönes Ambiente und sehr höfliches und nettes Personal.

Wie immer; hervorragender Service, freundliche Bedienung, Essen super angerichtet, heiß serviert und leeeecker.....

We were there with our family (12 people) for breakfast and dinner. The reservations went well and we felt comfortable. We'll definitely come back.

Die richtige Endscheidung getroffen. Das Essen ist das Geld wert. Die Bedienung eine Wucht. Toll Vielen Dank

War zum 3. Mal hier essen und es hat wieder köstlich geschmeckt. Die Duhner Fischpfanne ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Platz am Hochtisch neben der Eingangstür war gemütlich. Die verschiedenen Bedienungen waren hervorragend aufeinander abgestimmt.

We've been Duhnen fans for years and a meal with you is a must that we look forward to every time - BUT THIS TIME YOU'VE LACKED UP A LOT. THE MUSSELS WERE DELICIOUS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE PORTION WAS MUCH TOO SMALL. AND MY SPAGHETTI ALIO Y OLIO WERE PRETTY CRUEL. THEY SHOULD BE WITH GOLDEN BROWN ROASTED GARLIC. UNFORTUNATELY THEY TAST VERY NEUTRAL AND THERE DEFINITELY DID NOT CONTAIN ROASTED GARLIC. THE GARLIC TASTES LIKE PICKLED AND PURCHASED GARLIC. UNFORTUNATELY THE TOP WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE CRITICISM... YOU CAN DEFINITELY COULD DO THIS BETTER - and with such a density of restaurants in Duhnen, you should change something!

Unfortunately way too overpriced!!!!

We had mussels and Neuwerker fish plates; Very tasty, but you should be full for €21.

Ate there two weeks ago and then only there. Great, creative cuisine, rich and very tasty. Service attentive, loving, fun to be there. The ambience managed to combine old with new. We felt very comfortable. We can't judge the rooms, we had a holiday apartment.

Hier haben wir ein geschmackvolles Essen genossen mit einem überdurchschnittlichen Service. Wir waren erst skeptisch wegen des Touri Namens, wurden aber positiv überrascht. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder.

We always sit in the winter garden and have a very good meal. Happy to come back!

We were warmly welcomed twice and had a very tasty meal twice. Great service, great cuisine, delicious food and well prepared. Price/performance is also okay!

Die "Mahlzeit am Meer" war ein köstliches Wohlfühlerlebnis in gemütlicher Atmosphäre mit 1A Kundenservice. Das Essen ist von bester und frischer Qualität und geschmacklich auf den Punkt zubereitet. Die liebevolle Dekoration des Essplatzes in Form der Sevietten und stimmungsvoller Hintergrundmusik runden das ganze ab!!! TOP!!! :-)

Das Restaurant liegt zentral in Duhnen und überzeugt mit hoher Qualität beim Essen und einem urigen Ambiente. Der Service passt, ist gelegentlich etwas zurückhaltend. Die lokal typischen Fischgerichte werden auf hohem Niveau variiert, zusätzlich präsentiert die Küche immer wieder pfifgige Ideen.

A wonderfully stylish restaurant. The food and service were “at its best”.

Immer wieder gerne ! Super Essen, toller Service. Wir kommen seit Jahren immer gerne wieder.

They serve excellent coffee! Highly recommended.

The restaurant was full at 10 a.m. for brunch. Best time on Sunday, but we were full and ate good and fresh. I always find parking difficult, we walked from the neighboring town but no problem by the sea. The staff always tried to fill everything up quickly and keep the buffet running.

It wasn't my wife and I's first time in Cuxhaven-Duhnen, but it was our first time at "Meal by the Sea". Since the first evening was so (unexpectedly) fantastic, we went back straight away. We had the fish platter for two and were really thrilled: we ate and drank wonderfully in this cozy and tastefully designed restaurant (located absolutely centrally in Duhnen). It was absolutely delicious! The service was also pleasant and very friendly. Absolutely recommended!

Top! Food, ambience, friendliness, great handling of requests, very hard work!

Top food & service and very good chef

Klar die erste Wahl in Cuxhaven/Duhnen, wir freuen und bei jedem Urlaub auf die Besuche im "Mahlzeit am Meer". Warum? Weil hier Gastlichkeit gelebt wird. Perfekte Abläufe bereits ab der Reservierung, guter und freundlicher Service und eine leckere Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken greifen stimmig ineinander. Man fühlt sich willkommen und geht mit einem Lächeln.

Cozy, delicious and professional! We can only recommend “Meal by the Sea”: whether for a cozy meal for two or for a family meal! We wish you continued success, nice customers and look forward to seeing you again! 🍀

Everything is great Great atmosphere

Wir wurden sehr gastlich und freundlich empfangen, auch mit Kindern fühlt man sich sehr willkommen. Das Essen war vorzüglich.

Perfekter Service, super Essen. Sofort wieder nur zur Empfehlen.

Everything top five stars And the film makes you want to feast

On October 4th took a trip to Duhnen. Until that day we only knew the beach. Great city center, and then the house by the sea. A hotel with older charm, beautiful exterior facade. An offer for coffee time. We enter the cafe. Are warmly welcomed. The space available is large. It later turns out that every table is reserved from 5 p.m. A piece of cake and coffee or tea to fill you up at a good price. The variety of cakes was very large, the cake was delicious 😋. We'll definitely be back. The bridge day and the beautiful autumn weather were responsible for the high capacity utilization in the town.

Fine food in a cultivated atmosphere. Service friendly and attentive. The quality of the food stands out clearly from the surrounding restaurants. Highly recommended, and yes the prices are fair and reasonable.

Review from 5.2022 - addendum from 09.2024 at the end! Barely 4*. My wife and I have been here on vacation almost every year. Have always been very satisfied (5 stars!). And I don't want to badmouth it either, since Corona means that there are hardly any good, trained staff and the processes still have to be "established". BUT, waiting over an hour for the food is tough. And that at a time without holidays and when there wasn't that much going on. And when the "real" Viennese schnitzel you ordered arrives with a soft, limp, fatty breading and the meat itself is very dry, even the good starter (crab sandwich with egg) and the hard-working staff (at the bar) don't help negative overall impression. And for me personally, this happened when you had previously fervently recommended the place to your friend and persuaded him to go there. Because the toilets are really very clean and modern and the boss apologized (after asking when the food would come) and in the hope that this was an exception, I'm just giving it 4* stars otherwise it would only be 3* this time. been. I know you can do better and I will give you another chance to prove it. I will come again with my wife. Unfortunately you weren't able to convince my friend at all and he probably won't come again. Sometimes you only have one chance... But I know you can do it! .........Addendum 09.2024...... It's okay! Today it was perfect again. Good, motivated staff, good organization and delicious food bring back the 5* star. You should definitely reserve a table (also possible online 👍). A well-mixed cocktail to start, and delicious mussels and a schnitzel with delicious fried potatoes were brought quickly and friendly. And the crowning glory was the homemade ice cream cake with meringue, a dream 😋👍. Outside there was the first mulled wine at bar tables with a table fire. Great idea! A lovely, successful evening. We would (definitely) like to come back. Keep it up.

leckere regionale Küche, sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung, sehr nett angerichtete Speisen, toller Geschmack! Gerne wieder

The restaurant scored points for us in all areas. Excellent service, great food and a very nice atmosphere. It's worth a visit at any time.

Everything great. However, a reservation makes sense.

Sehr gutes Essen bei angemessenen Preisen. Top Service! Und vor allem sehr freundliche Bedienung

Very nice atmosphere and very good selection of food. Service is attentive and professionally competent

Immer freundlich, immer lecker 😃 Wir kommen gar nicht woanders hin, da es uns hier so gut gefällt. Tolle Räumlichkeiten ergänzen das Erlebnis.

Schönes Lokal mitten in Duhnen. Große Auswahl in der Speisekarte. Gute Getränke Auswahl. Rustikal eingerichtet, tolles Ambiente. Küche ist flott dabei, keine langen Wartezeiten. Unbedingt reservieren. Meine Empfehlung für einen gemütlichen Abend.

Very nice place to enjoy your breakfast. Gladly again.

Reichlich Auswahl, alles was das Frühstücksherz begehrt. Freundliches Personal und das Ambiente passt auch. Wir kommen wieder, wenn wir in der Nähe sind.

Super Service, sehr leckeres Essen. Insgesamt empfehlenswert, sowohl für Fischfans als auch für die anderen

First-class restaurant with an excellent menu and friendly, courteous service. The only minus is that the sidewalk runs through the outside area (there's no other way). Otherwise the atmosphere is very appealing. The crab tagliatelle is an absolute insider tip, otherwise ALL dishes are recommended, with a good price-performance ratio and an attractive presentation (after all, the eye eats too). The starter plate for two is also great. Served with some bread and a glass of wine, I wouldn't need any more... With first-class quality that has been consistent for years. So all in all, a well-rounded affair. And to the team: Please keep it up and we will come back to you every year.

Super tasty 😋 large portions, very friendly, quick staff. We always enjoy coming here and have done so for over 38 years. We can always recommend it with a clear conscience

Waren am 15.09.2024 hier, wir hatten die Scholle Finkenwerder Art und die Duhner Fischpfanne und waren mit beiden Gerichten sehr zufrieden. Ebenso waren der Service sowie das Restaurant an sich gut

Sehr empfehlenswert. Leckeres Essen, tolle Bedienung.

Food was very tasty, service was great and the atmosphere was nice too. Recommended.

Sehr nettes Personal, Auswahl beim Frühstück ist super!

Wie immer lecker gegessen und nette Bedienung, kommen immer wieder gerne

Die Muscheln waren phantastisch. Der Service war erstklassig

The food is very tasty. Price/performance fits. Very nice service. Gladly again!

Our regular restaurant in Cuxhaven-Duhnen! Very tasty fish dishes and varied menu. The seasonal menu is also an absolute recommendation, whether the kale dishes in winter or the chanterelles in September... everything wonderfully fresh and deliciously prepared... well seasoned and beautifully presented... plus friendly and attentive staff.. .

Sehr nettes Personal, gemütlich eingerichtet, tolles und freundliches Personal, Buffet mit Liebe angerichtet, für Kaffeenachschub wird immer gesorgt. Wir frühstücken in der Woche gerne hier, am Wochenende ist es uns allerdings zu voll (was aber auch für die Qualität und Beliebtheit spricht). Schade nur, dass wir es erst für uns "entdeckt" haben, nachdem wir hierher gezogen sind und nicht schon in den 7 Urlaubsjahren davor 😃

A great evening with very tasty fish dishes. Plaice and matjes really convincingly and originally prepared. The biggest surprise was the “Creme Brulee” dessert, really convincing and delicious! It was fun, we'll be back.

Positiv hervorzuheben ist das Ambiente. Meine Hauptspeise war „Zanderfilet auf cremigem Risotto mit Pfifferlingen“. Das Filet war leider völlig übergart und trocken, während das Risotto eher geschmacklos daher kam. Sehr schade, vor allem für eine Gesamtrechnung von €94,00 für 2 Vorspeisen, 2 Hauptspeisen und 3 Getränke.

Guter Service, gutes Essen, Speisekarte nicht überladen, gute Saisonkarten, Preise sind in Ordnung.

Waren anlässlich unseres Duhnen Urlaubs hier zum Essen, waren sehr zufrieden, nettes Ambiente netter Service und gutes Essen, was will man mehr

This establishment has a great kitchen with lovingly classic yet hip furnishings, which in my opinion gives it the top position in Duhnen and Cuxhaven. The clientele in this area tends to be older, but not only older but also younger people get their money's worth here. The quality is great and the house can look back on a long history. Clear recommendation!

Creative cuisine, very friendly staff

We came here spontaneously and sat in the beautiful indoor area. As a main course we have the beef fillet (medium) and the salmon fillet. As you can see in the picture, the beef fillet was nicely done. The quality of the meat was great, it was very tender and tasted very good. The fries that came with it were more chips than the “normal” fries. You have to like them. The salmon was also great, very tender and cooked to perfection. In terms of price, the beef fillet (200g) with a side dish of sauce costs over €35, the fish was also just under €30. Certainly not the cheapest restaurant here, but you can pay for the quality. Definitely recommended.

Very attentive service, very good selection of food. Always my pleasure !

Hervorragendes Restaurant mit sehr geschmackvoller, außergewöhnlicher Einrichtung. Modernes und Klassisches stilvoll kombiniert. Sehr zuvorkommende und aufmerksame Mitarbeiter, die jeden Wunsch erfüllen wollen, wenn möglich. Unser Essen war hervorragend. Meine Scholle war die beste, die ich bisher gegessen habe. Absolute Empfehlung!

Great food in a great atmosphere at absolutely fair prices. When we are nearby we always like to eat there. And the staff is absolutely great too.

We were there for breakfast. The buffet had a huge selection of bread and rolls, various juices, quark, yoghurt, muesli, honey, Nutella and jam. The scrambled eggs are the ones from the package, so they are perfectly seasoned... they just could have been a little less moist. There was sausage...I don't eat it so I didn't pay much attention to it. In my opinion there was definitely not enough choice for cheese. The salmon was very tasty. The croissants were a bit disappointing. Too sweet and too hard. The service was very courteous and friendly. The atmosphere is old, but magically old. Things from the time the house was built could be seen everywhere. The whole thing reminded me of café houses in Vienna. High ceilings, dark wood... charming. Only the toilet on the first floor was a challenge with a crutch. The individual steps in the guest room were not so tragic.

Whenever we are in Cuxhaven we eat there, as always very tasty!!!
