Restaurant Am Pier Cuxhaven - Alte Liebe in Cuxhaven

Sorry. But the steak on the first attempt was almost 50 percent fat at 300g. The second attempt wasn't even close to 300g. I like to eat well often, but here, after a bitter disappointment, I didn't even leave enough for a tip. 95€ bill for 2 currywursts, 1 burger, a steak, plus a drink each. The promise of truly ambitious service is useless when the kitchen is overwhelmed with seemingly new chefs. A real shame, the price/performance ratio was nonexistent that day.

Directly across from the pier for the catamaran to Heligoland. A perfect place to while away the time.

Breakfast buffet highly recommended. My girlfriend paid with a card and the waiter apparently didn't like that at all (because of the tip?) and his smile was gone. I paid in cash and was waiting for change so I could then give him a tip and he gave it up and then walked away without saying a word, we couldn't look that quickly... That had a very strange aftertaste. And we didn't give him a tip either... that's why service deducted 1 star... Otherwise everything was great 😊

Delicious food, incredibly attentive staff and always friendly! You HAVE to go there!!!

We had very friendly and nice service this morning. Thank you

We were there on Sunday afternoon. 04/27/25 on site. We sat down at a free table in the sun. After 15 minutes a very strong gentleman finally came and said the area was closed. We weren't the only ones. Another couple was also chased up. We replied that the other places in the sun were occupied. He said he didn't care and we should get up! He tore the tables between us apart and we stood up. No further place was offered. We are 2 entrepreneurs from Cuxhaven who were more than frightened and drove with our wives. Unbelievable but no matter who this happens to... it's unacceptable! If handled sensibly, this wouldn't have been a problem. But just awesome!!

A great restaurant in an excellent location with a view of the large ships arriving and departing! We were there several times, there were delicious cakes from the buffet for our early coffee, and a generous portion of redfish fillet for the evening. The side dishes can be exchanged for a small extra charge, our fried potatoes were crispy and without bacon, the boiled potatoes were tossed in butter, hmm... The drinks menu is very large. Despite it being full, we were served quickly, special praise goes to Josh, an attentive employee with charm and wit! We will definitely come back next time we visit Cux

The food tastes delicious and with the beautiful view, the PIERVIER is always worth a visit. Additionally, the staff is incredibly nice and attentive. Absolute recommendation!

A nice restaurant in a great location.

Waiter Josh is not nice at all. Anyone who doesn't order straight away will quickly be thrown out of the restaurant. I don't want to visit this place again as long as this waiter works there.

It's actually a nice place, but last year we were sent away because it was half an hour before the kitchen closed, but you could still have had a drink. And today, a year later, we were there long before the kitchen closed, but the waiter asked us not to sit there but just on the outside because only one waitress would be working and that wouldn't be possible! It's just a shame that these places are unsuitable for wheelchair users because the tables are too close together! And if you stand at the head of the table with your wheelchair, you're in the way. Very unfortunate.

Good restaurant, friendly staff, right on the shipping channel, delicious food, always good, top

Very tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere The Bremer Knipp and the burger with fries tasted sensational. The staff was very attentive and extremely friendly We'd love to come back

Great food and outstanding service. We felt very comfortable. The prices were absolutely reasonable.

Good cuisine Very nicely remodeled Service is very good 👍 👍

Super tasty, nice atmosphere, nice service

Incredibly great staff and delicious food

The food is delicious, the view is great. The staff very attentive and child-friendly. We'll be back.

Food very very tasty. Waiters all very friendly. Fast service.

Nice location at the old love. Easy to reach by public transport.

Unfortunately the iced coffee is a disaster. It tasted old and stale. A scoop of ice cream, cream and you're done. No coffee liqueur, no sauce or similar cream, no waffle. Too expensive at 6.20. Service...well. There was no question whether everything was okay. 14,-paid without one, that's right. She left without any change. She didn't need to give it to us either. That was pretty cheeky. That was in March and not all places were filled. Take an example from the Arctic Ocean.

All I can say to the owner's answer is that if I had told the restaurant staff that the potato salad didn't taste good, they wouldn't have been able to help me. The salad tastes just like an industrially produced salad tastes. Maybe change the company/brand

A lovely sunny spot to chill. Friendly service. Prices commensurate with the surrounding area.

We spontaneously went to Pier Vier and got a seat straight away. The food was soooo delicious and the service was top notch! A great atmosphere with great food ☺️ Thank you very much and we'll be happy to come back!

Beautiful place, you can drink or eat in a very cozy cafe here. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Everything was fine until Bianco came. I have never met such an unfriendly person in a restaurant.

The waiter Bianco is aggressive and threatens guests. I've never experienced anything like that. He definitely doesn't have his emotions under control. Furthermore, he introduced himself as the owner of the land, which is certainly not correct. The other cellars are nice and friendly, eat drink and promenade is very good. The skills shortage is at its best.

Location great, food very good, prices okay! Service underground!! The waiter was arrogant and unfriendly. Not a good day or goodbye or even a thank you very much! You don't need it as a guest

This time we were a bit disappointed. A children's plate had a huge schnitzel with lots of fries where the rice pudding portion was for mice. The fried fish was dripping with fat and the bruschetta didn't taste good either. Very unfortunate. Our reserved table wasn't free yet and we had to sit in the aisle where everyone was walking. We won't be coming back for a while.

Went here just to have a coffee and were very impressed by the friendliness, the ambience and the location in the maritime center of Cuxhaven. It was a great end to the walk at the “Alte Liebe”. 👍

We stopped here spontaneously during a short stay in Cuxhaven. The food was delicious and the staff really friendly. I especially recommend the evening menu for vegetarians. While other restaurants along the coast usually only serve fish, vegetarians have a wider selection here.

We wanted to sit outside at 4:00 p.m. and order food. The man, wearing a thick quilted jacket, told us he wouldn't be serving outside anymore because it was too cold. So we had to take our order for two meals and drinks from another restaurant.

Food is good but dogs are not very welcome, on the contrary... not even outside on the terrace, it's a shame, it ruins everything, it was the last time we were there

I ordered today daily recommendation. It was too tightly fried fish file, had to be 4 different types of fish... it tasted like one kind. I felt that the food was prepared without “love”.

Super nice service. Good selection of food. Wasn't there the first and last time

Everyone is very nice great food 10/10

Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly staff and delicious food

Very tasty food and great service. Very very friendly. Joel served us. I can recommend it 100%. We will go there again.

A lovely restaurant in a great location. The staff is friendly, unfortunately a bit intrusive, but attentive. It's not nice to be asked 10 times in 15 minutes whether you've already chosen something, you can see that when the card is closed on the table. The ambience and the view of the small harbor is very nice. Unfortunately the rest is just mediocre. The prices are not justified by the quality. We had the fish with potato salad and the Holsteiner Schitzel. The potato salad tastes just like it tastes from a bucket. You can also make one yourself cheaply. The taste of the fish and meat wasn't what you would actually like. The fried potatoes were good. Unfortunately, I don't think it's very unlikely that people will stop there again.

We had a nice breakfast here. The reception was friendly. Our wish of a sea view was fulfilled. The waitress fulfilled our wishes with our special diet, which is very rare.👍👍👍 Reservation is required.

We had a very nice evening with delicious food and friendly service. Clear recommendation!

After the renovation it became very nice and the staff is very nice.

Incredibly good. Huge portions at a more than fair price and the food tastes very tasty. Reservations are strongly recommended, but you can always get a seat for two if a wait of 2-5 minutes is not a problem.

Great, after renovation now very friendly atmosphere. Good food, unfortunately almost cold when it came to the table. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

First something positive: the restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. The waiter was very friendly....but.....unfortunately he hardly knew the menu and had to keep reassuring himself in the kitchen! For food: I had the tacos. All 3 tasted the same even though they were different! Unfortunately we had to endure the owner's complaining all evening. Apparently he wasn't that enthusiastic about his chef, which I could understand after the tacos! ;) if the owner doesn't celebrate his chef... it can't be good...!

1 star because I could almost have ordered something. But at least I was allowed to sit there for half an hour.

Everything was great, service was great, food was always fresh. Worth a recommendation. Always have breakfast there with a view of the sea. LG from Braunschweig

Everything is great! Despite the tourist area, the prices are completely reasonable. The food is served beautifully prepared and tastes good too :-)! But what impressed me most was the service! Thanks for the hospitality!

Good service, lovely waiters, good food, reasonable prices, nice ambience with pleasant music, I can only recommend it. Of course the view of the Elbe is the highlight. We didn't have to wait long for our food and it was tasty and fresh.

We went to PierVier twice for breakfast. Reservations are recommended on weekends. The location of PierVier is great with a view of the water and harbor. The prices for the breakfast buffet depend on the amount of coffee/tea/cocoa you drink. The buffet leaves nothing to be desired and everyone will find something that suits them. The staff is friendly, quick and attentive. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.

A very nice restaurant, coffee and cakes were very tasty for drinking coffee 😋 Staff very friendly, you'll be happy to come back

After the owner changed, we tried again. But unfortunately it was a disaster. Cheapest sausage, no refills in a reasonable time. The meat salt wasn't refilled at all. I didn't even try the Mett, it looked so scary. When asked, the chef probably didn't have time because he had to accept goods. The salmon was the cheapest product. Breakfast costs €19.80 per person. This is an outrage. Glasses were dirty, they stuck to the glass tray. No, something like that is a rip-off. Maybe the health department should take a look there. I don't even know what it looks like in the kitchen.

Went there today for the breakfast buffet and we really enjoyed it. The service was very nice and the price-performance ratio at the buffet was also good. We'd love to come back

Had a very tasty dinner. All dishes were of good quality and very tasteful. The service was super attentive and friendly and always had a kind word. Price performance is therefore very good and a great recommendation for Cuxhaven.

Great location, unfortunately an absolute rip-off! The breakfast buffet is absolutely clear. When we got there at around 9:45 a.m., the buffet was empty. When asked, they said the buffet would be refilled immediately. After about 10 minutes, only a small portion of salmon and a small portion of scrambled eggs were added, but unfortunately the rest was still not clear. The meat looked as if it had been on the buffet for 3 days. There was perhaps a spoonful left in the bowl with the meat salad, but it wasn't refilled. Other guests also asked several times whether anything would be refilled. After a while the rest was filled up. It was then said that the chef had to accept a delivery, so it wouldn't have been possible sooner. The cheese platter consisted of 3 types, the sausage platter also only consisted of 3 types. The quality of the food offered was not very good. The only positive thing was the fresh fruit salad. The juice/water glasses were on the shelf and stuck to each other, very unpleasant! At 10:45 a.m. it was announced that breakfast was about to end. You should take something else now, there would be nothing left in a moment. So honestly, for a price starting at €19.60 and up for the breakfast buffet on offer is absolutely excessive. It's really not recommended.

Delicious breakfast buffet with a view of the harbor and friendly, attentive service

Friendly service, food with a good price-performance ratio, ambience OK.

We were hosted by a very nice team. Keep it up 👍

We went for a walk and then got a seat at the restaurant at short notice to drink coffee and eat waffles. What friendly and great service. Cakes, waffles and ice cream were delicious and there was a nice view too. Very happy again!!!

Very tasty, the bowl is vegan without dressing, vinegar and oil were served with it. Large portions. Very tasty mocktails.

Super nice. Would love to come back

A great stay with a super nice crew. Food very good, great value for money. We would love to come back at Easter!

There were four of us there on New Year's Eve. Actually it was nice and the food was okay. But the waitress was very loud, busy with herself and her conversations. As a guest you don't want to feel like you have to rush, but unfortunately we had the feeling that we had to leave during the meal because they wanted to close. Everything was collected and cleaned while we ate. Shortly before 9 p.m. we asked again whether it was actually open until 10 p.m. as agreed over the phone. It's a shame, because everything started very promisingly with the starter, which was really very good 👍We'll be happy to come back, maybe we just had a bad day.

My husband and I wanted to have a leisurely breakfast between the holidays. That's why we decided on pier four. We had already been there and really liked it. But this time it wasn't like that. The breakfast was OK. Quite expensive, but you know that when you stop there. Our problem was the table. I had reserved a table for two people for two hours as my favorite guest. We also knew that it would be full. The table was right at the entrance behind the reservation terminal. We sat right against the wall and next to the counter. The phone was constantly ringing and reservations were being made. There was a terrible draft there because the door naturally opened and closed. All in all, it was out of the question to have a conversation with my husband because the noise level from constant phone calls was extremely high. We didn't make the most of our two hours. I would have preferred it if they had said there were no tables left. So we basically sat in the hallway. That wasn't nice. Therefore one point deducted.

Great restaurant with attentive and friendly service! And very tasty. Large ships pass right outside the window

It's a nice restaurant with good food. The terrace is an absolute magnet in summer. It's definitely nice to take a break there.

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.

Very tasty food, very nice staff, price/performance ratio is right

Very nice atmosphere, delicious breakfast and great service

We were there for breakfast. There was a varied buffet that left nothing to be desired. It was really delicious! The service was fantastic. The waiter was friendly, charming and helpful. Thanks, Joel! Another plus point: our children loved the play corner. It is really decorated with love. Thank you for the relaxing and delicious morning!

We had a really good meal there. Staff was in a really good mood. We can only recommend this. The location is of course ideal, right in the harbor.

Very nice staff... Always happy

Eat deliciously and watch the ships go by (if you sit correctly ;))

Yes, it's ok to sit right now, food was almost cold, portions not that much on the plate, not so well prepared, yes. Once ok, then no longer. Anyone can have a bad day, but oh well

Seems to be newly renovated. Very nice and fast service. taste and price. Also suitable.

The opening times are wrong! The restaurant is closed/under renovation. It was not possible to find out when it would reopen.

Pretty messed up employees overwhelmed! 40 minutes to receive your order! The food was good 👍

Super nice staff, the food was perfect as always. See you in December!!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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. 👍🏻
