Pier 23 in Leer (Ostfriesland)

Solid atmosphere, large selection of food and drinks

We received an absolutely warm welcome, the blonde service person A.Z, super accommodating, always available and friendly. There should be top employees like this everywhere. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful evening, the stress-free atmosphere and the pleasant feeling we were given. We are already looking forward to the next visit. Thank you very much A.Matzke

Great food, wonderful wine and cocktail list, lovely staff, lovely interior and good location!

Super chic location...great food in a modern atmosphere...creative menu & elegantly prepared plates...friendly, courteous staff...a touch of luxury...more expensive but highly recommended. A top tip in Leer with a view of the Leda. ..

Ambience and food very good 👍🏻 Had a perfect meal.

We have been there several times over the last 3 years. It was excellent every time!

A wonderful restaurant! Visited with friends. We were two families with kids and all. Don't miss out!!

Very nice restaurant with extremely courteous service and excellent food! The fish dishes are particularly recommended.

Great ambience, nice staff and the breakfast was very good and visually appealing.

The food was perfect, which made it a very nice evening

The ambience and the food are a feast for the senses!

I was there with a group and was very impressed with this location. Very attractive, architecturally designed house. The food was very good, the drink selection was great. I can only recommend the house

Delicious. Cozy. Service great.👍

The restaurant is very nice and the waitresses were very friendly and competent on all three evenings of my visits. The burgers, fries and salads always taste fresh and tasty. The portions are plentiful. On the third evening I ate marinated salmon and pumpkin soup - both were also excellent and plentiful. The prices are okay for the quality.

Look for good reviews on social media

Food very overpriced. The taste and serving on a plate is not particularly great for the prices.

The restaurant has really delicious food and a great atmosphere! The service was also excellent – ​​friendly, attentive and accommodating. A real highlight for a successful evening. However, the prices are quite high, which makes it not that attractive for those on a small wallet. Unfortunately, the selection of cheaper dishes was somewhat limited. Anyone who is willing to pay a little more will definitely be rewarded with a wonderful experience!

Very courteous staff. The food is perfectly presented and tastes great, making it a pleasure to eat there.

Never had such a greasy burger before and for €18.50 + €4.00 for a portion of fries.

Creative, delicious fish dishes, great, attentive, friendly service in a beautiful atmosphere! An all around lovely experience! Thank you!

Unfortunately, the quality has declined over time, prices are rising and the card deserves an update after so many years

We sat outside and wanted to drink coffee but the service only came after we went in and said we wanted to order something. The older service was very taciturn, otherwise everything else was tip top👍👌

We caught up with our departmental Christmas dinner here on June 24th. The food was excellent, the ambience and service were first class.

The price-performance ratio is excessive for East Frisian standards.

I can't say anything about the food. We had a White Russian here late at night. It was exactly how it was supposed to be!! Service super nice and quick! Even this late in the evening, cleanliness is still important here. This should be particularly praised. Everything fits wonderfully. We would love to come back.

Great atmosphere and first-class service...always a kind word and the food is to our liking. Happy again at any time and my absolute favorite 👌👍

An absolute highlight of this restaurant. We ate there as part of an overnight stay at the Hotel Hafenspeicher. Great location and architecture, clean and simply beautifully done. The employee left nothing to be desired and looked after us in an outstanding way that we have rarely experienced and we are used to good guest service. Absolutely top. The dishes are a poem and prepared by the kitchen at a star level. If we come back again, only here at Pier23, that's for sure...

Wir sind nur zufällig in Leer gestrandet und haben ein kulinarisches Highlight erlebt. Die Sushi Variationen waren wie von einem anderen Stern. So eine Qualität und ein solches Geschmackserlebnis habe ich persönlich noch nicht erlebt, nicht einmal in Japan. Der Service war dementsprechend sehr zuvorkommend und unaufdringlich. Das Ambiente ist sehr einladend. Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

A wonderful place to spend a nice time with family or friends. Knowledgeable discussions with the staff about the excellent food on offer included.

Got stuck in Leer on our way home to Groningen via train from Berlin. We were starving and we found Pier 23. Their pulled pork sandwich is easily the best BBQ I've found in Europe. It was undeniably good. My wife raved about their burger on the menu as well. Really happy that we found this place at such a late hour on a Friday evening.

The restaurant offers many nice seating options. The food is very delicious and can only be recommended. The employees take care of everything and drinks and food are always there straight away. They have a large selection of food and also very tasty drinks.

Friendly and competent service, very good food

We were always there with several people and, without exception, EVERYONE was thrilled. Have already reserved twice again

Leckeres Essen und familiäre Atmosphäre. Das schöne Interieur ist ein zusätzlicher Vorteil. Ein großartiger Ort für ein Abendessen mit Ihrem Liebsten oder ein Treffen mit Freunden und Familie. Der Koch ist Weltmeister. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Koch. Man sieht ihm an, dass Kochen seine Leidenschaft ist und er es mit Herz tut. Ich empfehle. ❤️❤️❤️

Delicious food and family atmosphere. The beautiful interior is an additional advantage. A great place for dinner with your loved one or a gathering with friends and family. The chef is world champion. Kind regards, chef. You can tell that cooking is his passion and that he does it with heart. I recommend. ❤️❤️❤️

I ordered sushi. They were terrible.

Dubious shop, be sure to check the invoice

Delicious sushi and well-matched cocktails. The service is friendly, but could sometimes be a little quicker.

It's a nice restaurant, but the sweet potato fries were a bit too brittle and black for our taste, the burgers themselves were ok. The view itself from the restaurant was very beautiful and calm.

We stopped for some cocktails on a quiet Sunday afternoon and were really impressed with everything we had. The starter salad with the raspberry dressing was delicious and was a good sized portion.

Very good food, great service! Parasols outside would be appropriate in this hot weather, great view of the harbor! 😎The vegan and vegetarian options still have room for improvement... 🫣👍🏼

Classy and located right on the water. Very stylish location. Food rated 0 because I didn't eat anything, just drank.

I can't comment on the food because I was only there for a coffee. But the ambience is great! The view of the harbor immediately gives you a holiday feeling. Very nice restaurant, we felt very comfortable.

Impressive service, professional and yet relaxed and warm, just makes you feel good. Kitchen at a very high level. Whether outside (sun or shade) or indoors, everyone finds their place.

A great restaurant with a view of the harbor. The service is very friendly and attentive. The meal was excellent. Our friends and we were very satisfied. The Pier23 is really recommended.

Super tasty top service 10 stars only recommended!!

Das Restaurant bietet eine hervorragende Auswahl an Fischgerichten, die nicht nur geschmacklich überzeugen, sondern auch außergewöhnlich zubereitet sind. Die frischen Zutaten und die kreativen Rezepte machen jedes Gericht zu einem besonderen Erlebnis. Absolut empfehlenswert für Fischliebhaber! Für alle die etwas Neues erleben wollen, die beste Adresse für Leer

Beautifully decorated restaurant, right on the harbor, with a corresponding atmosphere. Friendly, courteous service and delicious food, stylishly prepared. But you shouldn't come here very hungry, as the portions are definitely too small unless you have planned a 3-course menu and the corresponding budget. All in all, I can definitely recommend this restaurant :)

A great evening with good food... perfect service and a nice ambience. As a starter we chose sushi 🍣 and it was excellent. The main course was zander and red snapper, accompanied by a very good white wine...absolutely delicious. Definitely visit and try.

Whether you get good food or just prepared food depends on the working day and other factors unknown to the visitor. Sometimes it's really really good, but during the week (in the evening) it's usually beautifully decorated but ultimately not great. However, the prices are at a high level, so that can be criticized. I find fish with a side dish to be far too expensive (not less than 40 EUR), they never manage to do the obligatory fillet of beef (always too well done) and that's also a statement in terms of price. The menu is attractive in itself, but the prices should be commensurate with the quality. The ambience is very good (for Leer), the service of course varies, but recently it has been consistently good. Selection of drinks is completely okay, training of the (bar) staff can still be improved. It's a good but expensive restaurant in Leer with ultimately the possibility of surprises in both directions with the food - it ranges from surprisingly good to surprisingly mediocre.

Every year we only come to Leer for one evening at Pier23, around 250km away, and we are always thrilled with both the service and the varied food. The catch of the day in particular, with the choice of preparation method, was particularly impressive every year. We have already made reservations again this year

Very nice location, very attentive and nice staff, the service is incomparably good! The food is outstanding! It's always fresh, unusual and there are always changing cards. Special requests and drink surprises are absolutely no problem for these locals. We have been regular guests for many years and will remain so. We go to the restaurant at least once a month. Our son (5) also loves going to Pier 23, he wants to go here every day🥰. We look forward to our next visit and hope that this great restaurant will stay with us for a long time. Finally, we would like to say a big thank you to the entire team at Pier 23. 👍

As part of our bike tour, we stayed at the Hotel Hafenspeicher and had a delicious dinner at Pier 23. The Peking duck and sushi were really good.

Feedback after 2 visits to the restaurant. The first time it was very well attended. However, it took 1.5 hours from ordering to serving. On our last visit we were served quickly. However, I found the selection to be a bit thin. The ambience is very harmonious and high quality.

Ich habe mit meine mann an unserem Jahrestag in Pier essen, es hat alles gut geschmeckt. Alles war wunderbar das service war ganz nett , mann hat sich herzlich willkommen gefühlt. Ich Empfehle jedem da essen und trinken zu geben

We had delicious cocktails. We sat outside, it was cozy even though you were sitting right on the street.

The hospitality, the food, the service were simply unforgettable. My guests and I were very impressed by the day in the restaurant. Everything was just right and gave us a wonderful day.

Service very attentive and professional. Fine cuisine, therefore small but delicious portions of the most selected seasonal dishes. Overall too expensive for what was achieved.

The food, the ambience, the staff and the guests are all perfect. We'd love to come back. 😎👌

The ambience is great. You immediately feel comfortable indoors. Unfortunately, the outside area is a bit dull. No umbrellas, no nice decorations. The staff was really nice. The food was rather mixed. Of the 3 components, 2 were very good and one was rather bland. The quality was okay for the price, but a bit low. With a starter the whole thing would have been different, but then it would have been €40. There was previously bread with oil. The oil was delicious, the bread was unfortunately a simple, run-of-the-mill baguette. You should look for a good baker who bakes rustic ciabatta bread or something similar.

Nice atmosphere and attentive service. Portions rather small for the rather high prices

Very nice service, very good food, which justifies the price. The restaurant has no influence on the choice of customers, but some of them are very reserved. I'd love to come back, even just for a drink outside and a dessert, which unfortunately I couldn't manage as the sea bream was more than enough for me. We had a lovely evening.

We were so pleased that we ate there two evenings in a row. The ambience is great, the food tastes excellent, the staff is professional and totally friendly! Everything comes together here to ensure the guest is completely satisfied. The menu is not particularly large, but it offers a diverse selection. The daily offering of fresh fish is particularly commendable. Priced at the higher end, but completely reasonable when you consider the performance. Pier 23 lands in the top 3 of my best restaurants of the last few years! Finally, I have to give a big shout out to the staff, we felt very welcome!

Good, nice service, food very tasty and beautifully presented, but a bit overpriced. Atmosphere very pleasant.

Food, service, ambience top, nice and attentive staff, we look forward to every evening at the pier

We were there from June 5th. until June 6th, 2024 (AC/DC CONCERT) in Amsterdam.... On the way home we took a short break in Leer (East Frisia) and discovered the Pier 23 restaurant. Very nice restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. The menu has a good selection of food, which can also be easily adapted or combined. On the menu you can choose between a few side dishes and give each dish an individual taste. The food was very tasteful... The prices are fair and the price-performance ratio is completely ok. We did not regret it. Great service, nice staff and, to our regret, time was on our backs. Anyway, thank you again for the service. We enjoyed being here. If you're nearby and have an appetite, slow down! We will definitely do it again!

Fantastic food! The service is equally good even if a small mishap happened. However, this was ironed out perfectly and the café/tea and digestivo were taken over. Thank you!

Service is slow and unorganised, Burger and Sushi recommended very delicious

I've been eating sushi (M.A. Japanese Studies) for more than 40 years - here at Pier 23 we've had the best in a long time!

Sehr freundlicher Service Leckere Kreationen, super gut Fisch vom feinsten, wie es sich an der Küste gehört. Es ist einen besuch wert

Wow...this restaurant really looks beautiful from the outside and you won't be disappointed inside either. The waiter was very accommodating and very nice. We found it totally new that the waiter brought our food, brought a small foldable table and with a perfect quick movement set it up at our table to place the food on it before handing it over. We've never seen anything like that, wow...great...great, our waiter was really into it. Thank you for the good food and such a great atmosphere. We felt very comfortable.

It's lovely to sit outside by the water. The service is really top and the prices are completely ok.

The food was really very well prepared and very tasty. We also really liked the ambience

When the weather is nice, sitting outside with a view of the harbor is very relaxing

We recommend. Top service and excellent cuisine... Reasonably priced...

Hello pier team, Today was our first time with you and certainly not the last time. Great location, nice service, friendly, delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, everything was great. You even managed the weather really well! 😉 The sea bream was very tasty and so was everything around it! We are looking forward to the next time!!

Wonderful food with a view of the Leeran harbor in a pleasant atmosphere. This is Pier 23. The overall concept of the restaurant is convincing: pleasant ambience, good and central location, excellent food - the chef is a true magician - a rich drinks menu including aperitifs and very friendly and courteous service. Nothing stands in the way of a successful evening at Pier 23! We like to come back again and again.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food, great views and friendly service. If you're ever in Leer, you definitely have to stop by the pier!

Very good food. Hello, nice too. Great sushi. All very, very good

Very courteous and friendly staff. Great ambience. Great location and view. Very tasty starter (baby octopus) and delicious main course (asparagus). I would have loved to have another dessert, but the portion was really filling. Next time I'll definitely have to remember to leave some room for dessert ;)

Menu appealing - many possible variations - dishes very tasty and of very good quality - the asparagus dishes in particular can be combined with fish and meat in a variety of ways - drinks at reasonable prices - good wine selection - various types of beer barrel - Service excellent / competent and friendly / Overall: a good restaurant!

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, very cozy, the food is very tasty and tastes great.

Clever service who easily corrected a mistake made by the bar. Very friendly. Have fun at work. We will be back.

If you're looking for a nice atmosphere, this is the place for you. The view is great and so is the building. Even the service is great. Unfortunately, the food just can't keep up. On our first visit we both took burgers that you can put together specifically. The buns were a bit dry (almost rusk-like) and the pattie... well, that could be better. The best thing was the wooden box in which you put the plastic bottles for ketchup and mayo. So ala upscale gastronomy with snack bar charm. The second time there was fish. My wife ordered mussels. Every now and then I just thought, what makes the toilet drain smell so bad? Unfortunately that was the mussel sauce. It still surprises me to this day that my wife even ate it. All in all, the taste was always a bit “off track” and one would write in the certificate “They made a good effort...” It's a shame, the prices and everything around it would have led us to expect something much better. But well, as long as no one complains (we haven't either) it will probably stay that way.

Great atmosphere, high quality food and drink, exquisite cutlery and glassware. Very attentive crew. I certainy will go back there soon!

Cozy, modern location. Top service and delicious food. View of the harbor. Outdoor dining is recommended when the weather is nice

Sehr schönes Ambiente, absolut leckeres Essen mit gehobenem Preisniveau, welches jedoch durch die Qualität der Speisen absolut gerechtfertigt ist. Die Zwiebelsuppe ist fantastisch. Seeteufel mit Reis und asiatischem Gemüse ausgesprochen lecker. Ebenso die Variation an Sushi, die etwas vom gewohnten abweicht.

Thank you for the lovely evening. The loup de mer was great. The wines are harmonious. Thanks to our service hostess. We'd love to come back. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There's nothing to complain about here. We had salmon tartare and octopus as a starter. Both starters were really a hit! For the main course we had the sea bass and halibut with medit. Vegetables and gnocchi. You could choose the side dishes! The quality of the fish was unique and the vegetables were great. I have never had sea bass fried so perfectly. Price performance plus the super good advice from Philipp (waiter) everything fit together. Thank you very much and we'd love to come back!

Friendly, service, very good cuisine. That wasn't our last visit.

Super delicious food and a great location

We responded very flexibly to our wishes to get a quieter place. Extremely friendly service from every single person. Very pleasant atmosphere. It was a pleasure to spend the evening there. Thank you very much.

100% from entry to farewell. Top location and dream ambience. The staff lives the service to perfection. The food and drinks are a dream.

Very nice restaurant with very nice staff and a nice selection of food that can also be easily customized. On the menu you can choose between a few side dishes so you can give each dish a different taste. The food was very tasty. Prices are high

Food and price ok, mussels in white wine very good, the beef tartare OK too (although it was served in warm marrow with leftover marrow, that didn't matter to me, but...). Service was a bit stereotypically friendly but not really interested in the guest, that's how we felt. Then there is the 'Catch of the Day' fish day menu with around seven species of fish, certainly not all caught on this Good Friday, oh well. Overall, a very stilted atmosphere in my opinion, but as I said, the mussels were good, the only thing missing was the lemon water for the mussel soup fingers. Location of the restaurant is superb.

I had a veggie burger. Highly recommended if you like spicy food.

Great, fairly new hotel in the maritime, beautiful East Frisian town of Leer. Best location on the inner harbor and very close to the city plus good restaurants and outdoor places to linger, really good.

Anlässlich meines 75 jährigen Geburtstages war ich mit meiner Familie im Restaurant Pier 23. Ich war mehr als positiv überrascht. Das vom Chef zusammengestellte Menü war überaus lecker. Der komplette Abend wurde mit hervorragend Weinen begleitet. Das geschulte und sehr freundliche Service Personal rundete diesen wunderbaren Abend ab.

Gegessen mit 9 Personen im Rahmen eines geschäftlichen, aber festlichen Abendessens. Durch einen Tisch, der etwas isoliert vom Rest des Restaurants war, konnten wir Tischreden halten, ohne die anderen Gäste zu stören. Angenehme Betreuung am Tisch, eine gute Küche und gute Kommunikation bei der Vorbereitung unseres Besuchs.

It was a beautiful evening yesterday. The food was excellent, the wine that went with it was excellent. The service was very attentive and friendly. We will come back and recommend you. Thank you 🥂💕
