Restaurant Am Pier Cuxhaven - Alte Liebe in Cuxhaven

Super tasty fresh food, very nice service, great ambience... we'll be back

Great staff, very hardworking and committed. The food was very tasty, the bacon was sensational.

Nice restaurant in a great location on the Elbe. At the right table you can watch the large ships on their way to or from Hamburg. Nice service and delicious food.

Great ambience, great food and super nice service 👍

Super great atmosphere!! Very tasty breakfast buffet, but also delicious dishes for lunch or dinner. We like to stay at Am Pier when we are in Cuxhaven.

Pleasant to sit around in the evening and stare out at the sea.

Super nice people and service, the food is also very tasty and plentiful

Very tasty food, but unfortunately unsuitable for wheelchair users. No disabled toilets available.

Sehr leckeres und frisches Frühstücksbuffet mit guter Auswahl wird hier jeden Morgen angeboten. Die Brötchen und das Baguette waren frisch und knusprig, es gab Eierspeisen, Lachs, frischen Obstsalat und Früchte und alles, was das Herz begehrt. Die sehr freundliche und höfliche Bedienung machten den Start zu unserer Tour nach Helgoland perfekt

Very nice staff, a great selection of food, at a fair price, seating outside and inside with a view of the harbor

We love coming here! Very friendly reception. You get your food very quickly and of course you can't beat the prospect of old love!

Great ambience right next to the “Alte Liebe”. The service was really nice and friendly, unfortunately our fried fish was very dry and not good. We were probably just unlucky, because all the other dishes at the other tables looked really great. Update: Of course we ate there again because we had to have a second chance. 😉 We wouldn't be disappointed. We had meat dishes that were not only fabulously prepared, but also tasted delicious.👍🏻 In addition, we were again served super nice and friendly. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back on our next visit to Cuxhaven.

It was very, very tasty there and the view was a dream...

Unfortunately our reservation was not noted.

Staying in this place is simply lovely. Great ambience, good cuisine and attentive service. You can look at ships and stroll around.

At the beginning of October 2024 we had a great evening in the restaurant 'Am Pier' with my wife and our two children. The food was really delicious and we were impressed with every dish. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We particularly liked that the waiter was in such a good mood - it made us feel very welcome straight away. Another highlight was the direct view of the harbor, which made the atmosphere even more pleasant. It was an all-round successful experience that we would happily recommend!

The food is great every time! Unfortunately the staff wasn't as friendly as in previous years. When we had just finished eating, the waiter slammed a “Reserved” sign on the table right in front of me, according to the motto, that’s enough time. Unfortunately there are no more cocktails either!

We only ordered 1 cappuccino and 2 hot chocolates, but still awesome. + current menu

We stopped here after our bike tour. Nice large outdoor area with a view of the water. The service was very friendly. The food was disappointing, crab soup was okay, the hash browns with the matjes tasted completely like deep fryer fat and were also too heavily fried, the side salad had no dressing. The dressing I ordered had an indefinable taste. The fish on the sailor's plate was fried to death. For the price, the performance simply has to be right. We do not recommend anyone.

There was nothing to complain about!! Gladly again!! Despite it being full, everyone was very friendly

We were here twice for dinner. The location and the building are really great! We didn't have to make a reservation because there was always plenty of space. We always found something to eat. This wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't bad either. Good average. It was plentiful and tasted good too. The tea is really good! The staff was friendly and attentive. 👍🏻

The stay appealed to us. It's nice to sit here when the sun is shining. Service was also friendly, we didn't have to wait long. The taste of the food was okay, but we couldn't finish our fried potatoes. They were very greasy. The whole plate was full of fat, just not nice and not recommended for people with stomach problems.

Good morning, Fish and chips? Rarely served as badly as here. Breading was thick but the fish portion was rather thin, looked a lot like Conviniens. The location is good, service is rather agitated and no questions are asked as to whether the food ordered is ok. We have known the restaurant for a very long time, you can tell that the management has changed, as the saying goes: everything used to be better.

Reasonable price-performance ratio, generous portions, high throughput, reservation recommended for lunch, suitable for vegetarians and allergy sufferers

It was busy when we were there, but the service was efficient and responsive, making everything run smoothly and friendly. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the view.

We had a meal in the restaurant with 10 people and we were all very enthusiastic about the food and the friendly service. The price is also completely correct for the dishes

A great experience, the best view of the harbor, friendly service, very good food.

Die Speisen sind mehr 0815, aber OK. Man bekommt meistens auch ohne eine Reseriverung noch einen Tisch, zumindest drinnen. Es gibt eine Vielzahl wechselnder Bedienungen, die aber meistens ziemlich freundlich und motiviert sind.

Of course a very nice view. The service was there quite quickly, even though the outside area was not yet occupied. I just had something to drink.

The restaurant actually looks quite stylish and is a good way to pass the time until a booked boat tour starts at the nearby pier. But I was very disappointed with the food. I had a cheeseburger with fries. The fries were okay, but the burger had little taste and was quite tough. Unfortunately, most burgers from discount stores taste better in the microwave.

Service nice and quick. Location very good. Prices okay.

Wow! Although it would have to be a "tourist shed" due to the location, we were completely thrilled. Everything is really good here, but in addition to the great food, I have to praise the incredibly friendly and helpful service. I have never been served so kindly and courteously in a tourist shed. Thank you for that!

Super nice service. Everything was great👍👍👍 Location was great👍 food looks delicious, but I only drank one coffee.

Unfriendly waitress towards small children. Then not. Apparently they don't need guests and good service.

We were there today around 4:15 p.m. Not recommended. Service was very unfriendly and rude. We left without eating anything. We ate there days before. This was almost inedible. Fish as hard as a schnitzel and the fried potatoes were almost floating off the plate with fat. Fries were cold.

Spontaneously had dinner at Am Pier, price/performance ratio is there. Had Viennese style schnitzel with hollandaise and it was very tasty!!! A fantastic pork schnitzel, nice and thin and tender in a not excessive breading. Absolutely recommended!! The service was also extremely attentive, friendly and competent!!!

Unfortunately, the service and offer of the breakfast buffet this year were not as good as last year... There were still enough free tables, but unfortunately the one we reserved was a bit too small for two people and several plates. So maybe don't make a reservation beforehand and choose a larger table on site ;) The service staff's promise to clear away the empty plates in the meantime was not fulfilled. A flat rate for hot drinks only makes sense if you can order them later... It's a shame - the ☕ tastes really good. There was also a selection at the buffet not very varied. Last year everything was fine.

The location is good, but otherwise it's rather mass-produced with lots of fried foods. The currywurst was very tough, the fries were dry, the pan fish was dry, the fried potatoes were raw. On the second visit, the rösti was dripping with fat, and the fish plate was also too dry again. Price/performance is simply inadequate.

I had the cauliflower bowl. Cauliflower, after which the dish is named, had maybe 4 florets on it. The rice was eaten in 3 spoonfuls. Absolutely not justified for the price.

Super nice service, super good food at a fair price and a great view of the harbor - that's vacation...we'd love to come back

Directly located in front of the departure points of the Heligoland ferry. Good coffee, good friendly staff. We were satisfied

Even if the term excursion restaurant or tourist restaurant can certainly be thrown around. It's a nice place with good food and a nice view. The prices were okay.

Delicious food, good service, cheerful staff. Good prices for this placement, recommended 👍🏻

Unfortunately, after eating the Cauliflower bowl, I didn't feel well for four days because I had severe stomach cramps and gastrointestinal problems shortly after eating it.

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. I can only recommend the restaurant

Wer in Cuxhaven zur „Alten Liebe“ kommt, sollte sich dort und im Hafen alles ansehen und dann auf jeden Fall „Am Pier“ einkehren! Die Karte hält, was sie verspricht mit regionalen Spezialitäten. Das Personal ist aufmerksam, freundlich, schnell. Lieben Dank an Josh 🫶.

I recently ate at Restaurant Am Pier and was overall satisfied. The atmosphere is rustic and cozy, perfect for a traditional German meal. I tried the Wiener Schnitzel and the fried potatoes - both were well prepared, but the schnitzel could have been a little crispier. The service was friendly but a bit slow. Overall I would give the restaurant 4 stars.

Typical tourist restaurant, bad service and rip-off

We had breakfast. Unfortunately, given the price, there wasn't enough choice and it wasn't cleaned up anymore. Very unfortunate.

The only thing I liked there was the view I ordered an iced coffee, but it wasn't really an iced coffee. I didn't even like it and the price was just under €7 for not even a 0.3l glass. When I asked about the card, the answer only came from €15 Otherwise the fees are probably too expensive for them. That's why I didn't tip.

,, were once again a restaurant today, unfortunately many of the old service staff are leaving the sinking ship in the sense that the new management unfortunately rewards them very poorly, old employees who have been in service there for many years and are very, very friendly, always a great restaurant Inexpensive and a beautiful view, the waitresses are friendly and helpful

There really wasn't much going on, but unfortunately we were ignored for a while and served after a long wait. Afterwards the condition was unfortunately really rude. Too bad :( The iced coffee is also not recommended in terms of price-performance ratio

If you're hungry, you should go. If you want to be served nicely, you should go. to linger, very good. Conclusion, If we are in Cuxhaven we will definitely go there again.

Ambiance is awesome, right on the water Service was nice and quick Unfortunately the food was unappetizing for what you had to pay. Not a second time for us

I ate here because of the good reviews and the good location. The location is really great, the service too, but I was dissatisfied with the food. I had the fried fish with fries and tartar sauce. The fries were okay and so was the tartar sauce. The fried fish didn't work at all. It was fried to death, it was just dry and hard and I sometimes had problems even cutting it. I couldn't finish it all because it was just hard. Another negative thing I noticed was that the music was very loud.

Nice view⚓, good menu & nice service👍🏻

Lying directly in front of the Alte Liebe you can watch the ships while you eat. The food itself is quite good and the price is just about acceptable. But prices have risen in general, and not just in Cuxhaven. Update 08/2024: unchanged.

The terrace is very nice on the pier and the interior is very pretty and modern. When we visited, the waitresses were often too busy with themselves for my taste. You felt forgotten. The food on my fish platter was good average, only the grilled vegetables were swimming in their own fat but tasted good. That's why overall only 4 stars. Perfect and 5 ☆ is different.

Located right at the harbor, super friendly employees, you can immediately tell they enjoy their work and a great meal for a very fair price! You can eat inside or outside... both are extremely comfortable! We are already looking forward to our next visit to a great restaurant!

We had breakfast there because there were 3 options: 1x without a hot drink, 1x with a hot drink and then all-inclusive, since one of us doesn't drink hot drinks at all, we liked this offer. So we ordered one without and one all-inclusive. The waitress asked if she should bring two hot drinks. No, first one and when that's all the other, since one person doesn't drink them. Finally, the all-inclusive order was ordered. another coffee. When it came to paying, the big end came: the middle-aged blonde saleswoman wanted to charge a hot drink for everyone - an unthinkable surcharge on top of the all-inclusive for the last coffee. We asked why she divided it up like that and not all-inclusive and once without the hot drink as it was. She always talked her way out of it. She even said that the second hot drink was ordered for the wife. Which wasn't true because 1. my wife doesn't drink coffee and 2. I ordered it directly for myself and said this from the start. Then she stopped once that she had already entered it when ordering and couldn't change it. Finally she said that she couldn't see what anyone was drinking. As often as they brought it to the table and asked if everything was okay, she only saw that the man drinks. It's outrageous and full how she grinned. That's how you can also earn a tip, €4.80. Hence the tip: just don't offer it without a hot drink if you don't charge for it. Therefore not recommended.

The food was very tasty but also very expensive. Ambience is okay. Service was friendly.

Restaurant with a great view and really good cuisine. Friendly staff.

We had arranged to meet for breakfast in a larger group. Nothing was missing. The offer is plentiful and always replenished. Unfortunately the waitress responsible for our table was not there attentive. The drink replenishment was inadequate despite the flat rate.

We ate there with 10 ladies and we were all very satisfied 😊 everything tasted very good and the prices were acceptable 👍 so we went there again every evening 😄 the Cuxhavener Pannenfisch is super tasty 👍

A really, really good meal at a very good price (especially given the location)! The service was also very good.

Great restaurant! Diverse food and drink menu, short waiting times, very tasty food. 5 stars + an extra star for the very nice service!!

Food came quickly, price/performance was perfectly fine. Can be recommended

Very tasty food, nice service, nice location. Kitchen opens at 12.

My wife and I, like so many vacationers, visited this restaurant. The ambience is absolute 5*. But this can't do anything for the restaurant. The rating here is very sad. 2* for service and food. Why? We ordered Plaice Büsumer style for 28,- and I ordered burgers with fried fish for (I think) 15,-. The waiting time was ok, there was a lot going on, so you should be flexible. BUT, the fried fish was cold. I complained about this. He came back after a few minutes with a "warmer fried fish" and said we swapped it... "swapped" I thought? Fries cold, bread cold, because they haven't seen any heat for 15 minutes. Gastronomically an absolute disaster. Re-do it, done. But this was not good. My wife had her plaice, with lots of bones and other things. A very thick and large one. Everyone should be aware of bones when it comes to fish. At 28, you would think that the staff would at least try to remove a few. Therefore finish 2* instead of actually 3* (5+2+2=9 9:3= 3*). We will HAVE to find another restaurant tomorrow. PS: Unfortunately, pictures had a massive red cast due to the red screen.

The restaurant has deteriorated compared to the previous years we were in Cuxhaven. The food no longer tastes good. We ordered a currywurst with fries and the currywurst was ice cold and the fries were totally soggy.

Rude and rude service. We wanted to sit on the outside terrace around 8 p.m. and were "complimented away"! Like in the GDR: you are placed! "Please go under the umbrellas, there's supposed to be a thunderstorm. We already have a lot of sick staff...then the others don't have to get sick too if they have to walk through the rain." Then the wrong drinks were “served”! In short: miserable service and pure tourist rip-off...you can safely forget it. True to the motto: “Be careful, the customer threatens to order!”

Unfortunately there are no longer any fries and burgers available, but this meant we were able to try out new dishes, which all in all were very tasty! Only the pork medallions were quite dry. The price is a bit high, but still within reasonable limits for the location. Can definitely be recommended.

A very nice restaurant with a good breakfast buffet and a great view of the harbor and sea.

Very tasty fried fish that made you forget the extraordinary waiting time! The bouillabaisse was also great. The view of the Elbe is great, even if you sometimes have to look around a few pieces of equipment. Always interesting ships on the move. The service was very friendly and relaxed. You can go there!

Delicious food, great service, again at any time.

This restaurant relies on its good location. Food is kept very simple. Even the Aperol wasn't mixed properly and didn't taste good. Service isn't particularly nice either.

We were thrilled! The fried fish fillets with fried potatoes, vegetables and dip were absolutely top. Highly recommended!

Despite the limited menu (due to a lack of staff) - very tasty and accommodating!

Went there for dinner twice at Easter 2024. Registration was necessary because there is obviously a lot going on over the holidays. Atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice. If you sit appropriately, you have a direct view of the sea. The dishes are very tasty and rich in quantity. The service was very friendly despite the hectic pace of the holiday. All in all, a clear recommendation.

It was our first time visiting and we found the food and portion size to be very fair. The food tasted good and the waitresses were friendly. We would come again.

Despite the indicated staff shortage... very friendly and efficient service. The food was delicious and served super quickly. Very large portion for a good price. Highly recommended.

We are in a real tourist magnet here. You expect a good snack. But what you get is something completely different: friendly and open-minded service, an extensive menu and delicious, good food from currywurst to fish platters. The crowning glory: gluten-free burger! Seen here: Cheeseburger with double patty and gluten-free bun - awesome!

Service disaster, dish was forgotten, special order ignored due to intolerance. Never again

We were super satisfied, the food was attractively served and extremely tasty. The staff overall was very friendly and customer focused. We felt comfortable and will be happy to come back.

I was with my family for the breakfast buffet at "am Pier". The restaurant asks for prior reservation, which is understandable and then you can plan. You then give the opportunity to choose the time, so far everything is fine. I specified 10 a.m. and was then able to choose how long we wanted to have breakfast. They offered 2 hours. It's pleasant, so you don't have to rush. What was strange was that they state 9am to 11am is breakfast. But by choosing the 2 hours, I thought, OK, then you can probably use the buffet in peace. Unfortunately a misconception. At 10am the buffet looked very looted but there was still some food available. 20 minutes later there was almost nothing left and we had to see what else we could eat from the sparse selection. When it came to the drinks flat rate, the waiters didn't feel the need to come past the table or to say at 11 a.m. that it was now possible to order something else... a disappointment for 23.30 euros. Just the service. The plates were hardly cleared in between, you had the feeling you would be bothering the waiters if you ordered more yourself. No recommendation or go straight at 9am...maybe it's better then.

We sat near the entrance in the outdoor area in the area where the seating was NOT raised and therefore the seats were obviously in the area to be served. A lady sat two meters next to us and was served several times. We were consistently ignored for 15 minutes despite making eye contact with several employees. This was also the case last year. A pity. A friendly hint from the staff would have been enough if the seats were too far away for the staff to serve...we ate somewhere else.

Wir hatten Fish & Chips. Der Fisch hatte das Meer schon lange nicht mehr gesehen und war trocken. Pommes auch nicht besser.

We ate twice this week and were extremely satisfied. It was great. I had crab soup and a fish plate twice and the soup twice and then rump steak..... Awesome The staff was just great and very pretty

Food not really hot Mostly no homemade products Price performance doesn't fit Snack atmosphere because food comes very quickly because there are many vertig products

Good offer, nice staff, nice restaurant

It was once again wonderful to be with you

The staff is very friendly, the food comes quickly. The food tastes good, but not outstanding. The mustard sauce from the panfish was very strong and very little; I would have preferred it the other way around. The fried fish was crispy but a bit dry. However, I won't visit the place again because the music is absolutely terrible and way too loud. It's a shame how music can ruin a restaurant like that. The music is rap in a foreign language, I think it's Turkish.

Had made a reservation and it worked wonderfully. Nice service, good cuisine, reasonable prices. We will 100% come back.

It was great all around. The service, the food. All expectations met. Thumbs up.

Very good, can only be recommended🤝

We were there yesterday with a motorcycle group of 11 people Top service and very tasty food. I can only recommend.

Tolle Aussicht auf die Alte Liebe! Um das Essen würde ich aber einen großen Bogen machen. Kalte Bratkartoffeln, TK Kuchen, zum Frühstück gibts Aufbackbrötchen, und alles zu wahnsinnigen Preisen.

Delicious breakfast buffet and friendly staff👍

Schöne Aussicht und nettes Personal, das Essen war schlecht und überteuert. Wor hatten den gemischten Salat (11Euro) wobei gemischt übertrieben wäre. Er bestand hauptsächlich aus grünem Salat und etwas geschmackloser Tomate, Gurke paar Karottenraspeln und viel Zwiebeln. Das Dressing war ok. Dazu gabs zwei sehr dünne Scheiben Brot aufm Teller. Mein Sohn hatte den Cheesbruger, mit 16.90 Euro sehr teuer und ohne Beilage. Das Brot war gut, das Fleisch jedoch hart wie Schuhsohle, zu fest gekocht. Ohne Ketchup kaum essbar. Also absolut den Preis nicht wert. Zum Essen also keine Empfehlung hier.

As often as I've been there, whether for the breakfast buffet or lunch. Every time I left full and satisfied.
