Restaurant Leib & Seele in Norderney

We were there for lunch, I had a baked potato with crabs for just under 20€.. The service was unfortunately very bad.. they didn't ask if it was tasty.. and I had a short blonde hair in the food.. When we asked if We were allowed to pay and were asked if it was ok. I said unfortunately not, I had a hair in the food and it was okay.. then the service person said “hmm ok! (according to the motto, well, what should I do now) “So I didn't really think about it at all, unfortunately for such a nice shop. We won't visit this restaurant again. It's a shame we didn't feel like we were in good hands.

We got married on Norderney and spent our wedding anniversary at the Hotel König. However, since the Inselhotel König was fully booked, we were unfortunately only able to accommodate the witnesses and our son in accommodation opposite. On the wedding day we invited the three of them to our hotel for breakfast for an additional €75. We spent around €650 in the restaurant, which was justified as everything was perfectly organized and the food was absolutely delicious. I gave the staff a tip of €50 for this. When we had a coffee with our son on the day of departure, he actually had to pay €3.50 for his coffee because he wasn't staying in the hotel, which I found quite outrageous.

The pleasant service is particularly noticeable here. Thanks Ivan :-) My wife and I were thrilled 👍👍

In the evening we had spaghetti with prawns and sea bass with a bottle of Merlot. Everything worked perfectly and was super tasty! Absolutely recommended.

Delicious cuisine and also for non-meat eaters. The only restaurant on the island that cooks and offers complete, creative and very tasty vegan dishes. I have to give a big shout out here. As a vegan, you don't just get served with fries, hummus, ready-made vegan mayo or a loveless vegetable stir-fry. The vegan kale was delicious!!! And even the non-vegan tasted delicious. Everyone has finally been thought of here! Friendly and attentive service. Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back.

Very good service, well-trained staff, delicious food. Cozy location, the best price-performance ratio for breakfast. 22.50 euros and you get fresh juices, any kind of coffee or hot chocolate. Latte, espresso, etc. All you eat and drink. Fresh eggs of various kinds are available to order, etc. The fish platter is also very tasty. What you get for just under 30 euros is right in terms of price, portion size and taste. 3 types of fish fillet, North Sea crabs and mussels. Best fish platter on the island. Only available for 2 people or more and only in the evenings. The lunch menu is different

We are silent about what was done with a poor side dish of aubergine - dyke lamb and beef fillet (+ pepper sauce) were simply outstanding in every respect, a culinary experience that will be remembered, thank you very much. Absolute recommendation!

Highly recommended. The table is beautifully set for a birthday or wedding anniversary.

Food with a rather high price category. Overpriced in my opinion. When it comes to paying, the corpulent middle-aged lady in particular demands an even larger tip than already given when it comes to salads (!). An absurdity. Reason enough to avoid this restaurant in the future. You only do this to us once... such behavior is absolutely outrageous and massively damaging to your business.

Good food, great service at Norderney usual prices.

We were in the beer garden, beautifully located under the trees in the middle of the town with a view of the hustle and bustle in the pedestrian zone. The drinks were delicious, the service was also very friendly, unfortunately a bit overwhelmed and therefore quite slow.

Nice outside area. Good service. Good food (fish dish).

We were rudely turned away by the waiter outside because of the suitcases we had brought with us. There is no place for us here. Great welcome on the island, we have just arrived.

We just had a drink. The chestnut tree on the terrace is currently dangerous because the chestnuts regularly fall from the tree. One fell on the drink and broke the glass. We received a replacement drink from the service staff without asking. Since we didn't eat anything, I can't comment on this

I ordered two types of herring. 1x was very tasty. Unfortunately there was hardly any herring in the pot. Although the taste was good, it was too expensive for mostly onions and cucumber.

Very attentive service, the food was well prepared. As a starter we had fish soup and grilled chanterelles, main course beef fillet and lamb, for dessert I had fruit: raspberry spirit. All recommended

Here you can relax and eat well. Good selection. Good service. Not too expensive. I particularly like the sourdough bread from the starter. But: medium-rare is not medium.

It was very tasty…But I would have liked to know that the meat was cooked sous-vide!

Pot-bellied men with paraphernalia loudly explain the world - that's pretty much the "ambience". Food and drinks are incredibly overpriced, so much so that it's funny. Vegan? Theoretically. In practice, the fish variant is delivered first, then taken away again and brought back without the fish, but with the vegan alternative. How stupid that the salad on the plate still had the dressing that comes with the fish version (and is not vegan). Yes, yes, something like that can happen (what actually? That you get caught?). But in this category and price range that doesn't have to happen! We're talking about a handful of plucked salad straight out of a bag with two fryer patties for €24.50. My advice: avoid large areas.

Essen insgesamt ok, wenn auch noch Luft nach oben da ist. Service passt. Lokal sehr zentral. Preise mit einem ordentlichen Inselzuschlag

Were here for dinner. There was a bottle of water, 2 white wine spritzers, 1x roasted saddle of lamb and 1x grilled fillet of sea bass. The wine was recommended to us and was very good. The lamb was well roasted and tender, and tasted delicious. The sea bass was also very delicate and the dish was wonderfully rounded off. A taste experience. Thank you for the pleasant evening.

A little more expensive but the service and quality of the food are worth it.

Cafe with shaded areas, cakes from the village bakery. Friendly service. Finding the toilet was a bit difficult as it is in the adjacent hotel.

We have been visiting the Leib & Seele restaurant for many years. So far we have never been disappointed. Accordingly, I have already written a review before. See you tonight! A few days ago we were able to enjoy the super delicious tarte flambée. All good until today😔 I ordered Königsberger Klöpse and unfortunately I have to say that I was completely disappointed. The dumplings were extremely dry and tasteless. It's such a shame😔 It must also be said, however, that the fish in my husband's dish was flawless. However, I didn't find the portion (1 small hash brown as a side dish) to be adequate. The service was very good and very friendly. Conclusion: for now we're just relying on the tarte flambée outside. Unfortunately, we will refrain from making reservations in the evening restaurant for the time being.

We were here with 8 people. 7 people had a burger. Unfortunately, our overall rating is not good. The fries were all unsalted and tasted very bland. The burger patty was mostly pork. Wasn't very tasty. For a total of €23 it's too expensive.

Our waiter Martin was incredibly friendly and it was a lovely stay The burger was good Aioli was great. Highly recommended with fries I would be very happy if the dishes from the children's menu could also be ordered in adult sizes

The location is very good and the staff is friendly. The selection of dishes is manageable and appealing. We ordered the homemade potato gnocchi and basil spinach pesto. The dish tasted very tasty. Accordingly, the price-performance ratio is absolutely fine.

Die höchste Rechnung wurde uns im Leib & Seele (gehört zum Inselhotel König) ausgestellt. Tischreservierung 2 Tage vorher erfolgte problemlos. Empfang sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Schöner Tisch drinnen am Fenster. Ambiente gefiel uns sehr gut. wie auch die Aperitifs: Friesen Spritz und Lillet Wildberry. Wir bestellten als Vorspeise eine cremige Pfifferlingsuppe und als Hauptspeise Kartoffelgnocchi mit Gambas bzw. den Flammkuchen Nautik mit Räucherlachs, Blattspinat und Mozzarella. Dazu genossen wir eine Karaffe (0,5 l) Grünen Veltliner. Alles war wunderbar. Allerdings halt einen Tick teurer als in anderen Restaurants.

Top and absolutely great! A clear recommendation to eat here! We got a place at short notice and I have to say, I'm very satisfied. Great food, salad buffet a real surprise, and the food was really good! I rarely stay in a holiday resort during peak season. Eaten so well and b. Such great service was provided. A compliment goes to our waitress, Ms. Kausch or Gausch, who made the evening perfect with her professional manner and absolute child-friendliness. I would love to come back again during my vacation and am already looking forward to it!

It's nice to sit in the beer garden. Fast service, usual menu. Quality of the food okay.

A very nice restaurant. Good card.

Wir waren zwei mal am Abend im Restaurant essen; das erste Mal hatten wir reserviert, das zweite Mal war spontan; es war jedesmal empfehlenswert; das Essen war immer super; der Service war unter Berücksichtigung der hohen Auslastung immer gut; die Speisekarte variiert Saisonal und ist ansprechend; Danke und gerne wieder!

Friendly, quick ordering, *expensive beer 🍺😉👋🏽

We've actually had good experiences here, but the last stop surprised us negatively. The service was inattentive to us. The table was dirty and hadn't been wiped down. When we asked if we could get blankets, the irritating answer was: “You’ll have to take care of it yourself.” Well, yes - then the only exception is there is no tip...

Upscale restaurant with excellent food! Starter of brown bread with butter - a simple meal can be so tasty! Main course plaice fillet and tarte flambée. Both of the highest quality too! The butter potatoes stood out particularly positively! Waiting times are sometimes a bit longer, but the waitresses can't do more than work. Prices are also a little higher than standard, but quality comes at a cost. Pleasant, quiet atmosphere.

Was there for dinner with my wife. The ambience seemed very elegant. The service was very accommodating. We started with the strawberry punch as an aperitif, which we enjoyed. For the starter, my wife had the shrimp pan, which was very tasty, and I had the pickled halibut, which was really great. For the main course, we both had the fish platter. As they say, you eat with your eyes and that's true (it could have been presented more beautifully) but it's not that important to me, in the end it's the quality of the food that counts and it was good. The fish was fried to perfection and we had a bottle of white wine with it which was also delicious (good Assorted wine list).As dessert there was the crowning finale.Such a simple dish and yet super refined.Cream Brülee coconut with passion fruit ice cream.all in all an upscale good restaurant I would love to come back.

We were on vacation in Norderney. Had dinner here with my husband this evening. When we arrived we were taken to our reserved table. The service staff were very nice, accommodating, very friendly and personable. Food was super tasty. I had the shrimp pan which was very tasty. For the main course we both had the fish platter which was also very, very good 😋. The dessert, crème brulee coconut with pineapple pieces and passion fruit ice cream was also very, very good. Overall we felt very comfortable and well treated. They say it tastes best at home, and it does, but this restaurant is highly recommended away from home. We were very enthusiastic and can't understand the worse reviews. Lg

We were very disappointed, the food was half raw and the staff is from Eastern Europe and has no idea about gastronomy! It was also very expensive and they didn't care about the complaint. Never again! We have known the restaurant for many years, but total deterioration!

Arroganter Service- nicht zu empfehlen 😟 Obwohl alles frei war, war für uns kein Platz mehr frei- der Kellner sagte, sein Chef würde ihn verantwortlich machen

Delicious food and good service. A short rain shower and the patio roof would be extended. Super Service.

I had homemade gnocci vegetarian Excellent

We treated ourselves to a sumptuous champagne breakfast. It was good and tasty, but €28 per person is a hefty price. We would have been happy about little refinements such as various homemade spreads, salads and tomato mozzarella. Service and ambience were top.

Not much choice for vegetarians. Food presented somewhat carelessly. You have to be patient when it comes to service

Very centrally located restaurant with a large outdoor terrace, extensive menu and good quality dishes. Prices typical Norderney

Good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere

normal restaurant. Everything okay so far.

Very tasty 😋eaten and great service!

We arrived and were asked what we would like to drink without being given a menu beforehand. The waiter reacted very unfriendly and generally just seemed annoyed. The food itself was ok (flambée and baked potatoes), but very overpriced. A Lillet Wild Berry for €9 is also a bit excessive…

June 2024 Unfortunately I can't give a recommendation. We were here with 5 adults and 1 elementary school child. The waiter wasn't that attentive. There was also no explanation that certain dishes come with a salad plate and that we can put it together ourselves at the salad buffet.... 🤔 We had to ask. Unusual looking food at the salad buffet = no indication (e.g. small sign) what it is... We waited over an hour for the food!!! A challenge with a child who was relatively patient. But also very long for us. The table behind us, who came after us, had their food earlier. And the food was not commensurate with the high price!!! It wasn't anything special. The tarte flambée was much too dark on the edges, with salami = it didn't taste like tarte flambée at all; The fish itself was okay, it didn't taste like anything and had to be seasoned... Very disappointing. Age group in the restaurant = over 60 It was also quite loud (acoustic panels might be helpful) 6 main courses, 2 starters + drinks, no dessert = approx. 220€!!! Expected more for that...

Ordered a table after reservation. When we arrived we were shown to the table. Afterwards we were ignored for 30 minutes... then we didn't get any cards and we were asked what we wanted to drink and eat. Eating and drinking after 15 minutes. Food came quickly. Food was still good. But unfortunately services are part of it, especially when it's not that busy. Maybe it was an exception. Dogs were allowed, but we didn't find them welcome. (No water bowl or anything similar, we assume that's why we weren't served until later)

The food was really good and beautifully prepared, the service staff was very attentive and nice.

Mitten in Norderney gelegen. Schöne Aussenterasse. Innen eher Hoteltypisch edel. Speisen gut große Auswahl auch an Vegetarsichen Speisen. Preise etwas höher

Located in the middle of town and incredibly cozy.

Food super tasty. Waiter service, well, I guess I didn't feel like it this evening. It's a good thing we didn't order dessert, the waiter says they still have five minutes then we have to clear the table 😕. It doesn't work at all.

When it was hot outside, the shady spot under the tree was great.

We sat outside, which wasn't very comfortable overall. But the food was highly recommended, both the meat dishes and the vegetarian dish. The service was friendly and accommodating.

Top cocktails and other drinks. Haven't eaten there (yet) Super Service

We had dinner at Leib & Seele and it was great. We were warmly welcomed and our request for sun protection was immediately fulfilled, as we only had one place left in the blazing sun and that was very unpleasant. There is also a special place for dogs where they can have a drink. There were blankets at all the places so that you could make yourself really comfortable in colder temperatures and still sit comfortably under the radiant heaters that were also available. We each had a portion of asparagus with the crispy schnitzel and I personally thought it was absolutely great. The asparagus was neither too hard nor too soft, the potatoes were nice and floury, the schnitzel was a good size and not too thick and the hollandaise was great too. We will definitely come back again!

We were at Leib&Soul 2 years ago and it was a pleasure again. The service staff is very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is pleasant and most importantly, the food was delicious! Don't forget that dogs are also welcome here. We would like to come again…

Anytime. Not exactly cheap but great.

Im November 22 zum erstenmal hier und mehr wie zufrieden gewesen. Jetzt, also im April.... vor drei Wochen..., wollte ich natürlich wissen ob das erste mal ein "Ausrutscher" war oder nicht. Um es vorwegzunehmen: nein, war es nicht. Wieder, diesmal alleine, einen wunderbaren Abend mit einem sehr aufmerksamen Service (Natascha, Nadja ??? - Bitte verzeihen Sie mir mein schlechtes Namensgedächtnis) und sehr gutem und vor allem sehr ansprechend angerichtet Speisen verbracht. Das einzige was ich, aber nur am Rande, bemerken möchte: die Käseauswahl war etwas... sagen wir mal so: im Vergleich zur Vorspeise ( exzellentes Tatar - geschmacklich sehr gut) und dem Hauptgang (Kabeljau - in Perfektion) etwas "weit abgeschlagen" - von Präsentation bis Auswahl. Was dem Gesamtbild des Abends aber nur, wenn überhaupt von "getrübt" gesprochen werden muss, minimal gemeint ist. Herzlichen Dank für den Abend. Ich hoffe das ich in ca. 3 Wochen wieder tu Gast sein darf.

Nice restaurant, but there are also rip-offs. I drank the most expensive beer in my life here. Half a liter of Köpi for 6.80 €uro, outrageous ☹️

Very nicely decorated restaurant with lots of space and decoration. The design is calm and cozy. There is a wide selection of different types of food and many asparagus dishes are also available during the season. The staff is very nice and always there to answer any questions. It is recommended to reserve a table in advance.

Food and service, very good, and the location is great.

Absolutely great shop, food very very good, super nice team. It's totally worth it.

The restaurant definitely benefits from the good location and knows how to make good use of it. The food is average at best, also in terms of size, but costs almost as much as star cuisine. Asparagus (manageable portion) for over 30 euros and vegetarian gnocchi without much (without much taste) for over 20 euros - that doesn't have to be the case. Service and ambience are good.

Absolutes no go beim Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Lieblos auf den Teller geschmissen. Ob es wirklich frisch war, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Bedienung sehr gleichgültiig.

Leider nicht lecker: die Scholle war sehr fettig, die Krabben schienen nicht ganz so frisch, die Remoulade war zwar gut aber viel zu wenig ....

Contrary to a supposedly promising recommendation, our visit to this restaurant was a bitter disappointment. The quality of the service was worryingly low in places and the value for money was simply unacceptable in many cases. We had hoped to have a pleasant evening but were sorely disappointed by lack of attention from staff and overpriced prices. Despite our original expectations, we found that this restaurant didn't live up to its reputation. We therefore cannot recommend it and will definitely not come back.

Nice restaurant, delicious food and drinks.

Excellent terrace for a drink in nice weather today. But watch out! You can only pay by card from €15. Welcome to 2024... If you want to pay €12, you will simply be charged €15. Still paid in cash.

Die Atmosphäre des Restaurants war sehr angenehm. Das Essen (geschmorte Rinderroulade) war ausgezeichnet und der Service sehr zuvorkommend!

My personal favorite of the hotel restaurants on the island. Very good service and incredibly tasty dishes from the upscale gastronomy at a really fair price-performance ratio. Outstanding vegan offerings and a more than extensive wine list. Do you know that moment when you leave the establishment after a successful evening in a restaurant and feel completely happy? Here you will find what you are looking for, because you are what you eat.

Food is tasty. Came quickly even though it was pretty full. Very attentive staff and super friendly, thank you for that

We had such a wonderful day today! The biggest thanks go to Vadim!

We felt completely comfortable here!

Exceptional dining and service experience in a very pleasant atmosphere. Refined, contemporary food compositions, presented with outstanding craftsmanship. Perfectly tempered wines & pleasantly unobtrusive, relaxed service. Thank you very much for this wonderful evening and the great experience.

Wir hatten einen Hotelaufenthalt mit Restaurant Besuch. Sehr aufmerksames Personal. Zügige Menüfolge. Essen war gut und der Wein hervorragend. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Danke

We had a very nice evening with very tasty food and very nice service.

Good cuisine made from seasonal and mostly regional ingredients, prepared imaginatively and decoratively. But above all, the service staff are very friendly! We didn't like the atmosphere that much, but that's a matter of taste.

Unfortunately not enough guests for the class. It was probably due to the rain

You feel comfortable here. Price performance doesn't always match. Menu now in. Winter manageable.

Central location, very nice atmosphere. I found the new compositions of well-known dishes particularly exciting. A little more expensive, but beautifully presented. The service was really attentive.

Very nice restaurant in the Hotel Inselkönig. Changing menu. Innovative and creative.

Very large restaurant with good cuisine and friendly service.

Unfortunately too dark in the evening. We read the menu with our cell phone flashlight...

Sehr nettes Restaurant. Sehr schmackhaftes Essen.Alle Gerichte waren einwandfrei zubereitet. Service lässt keine Wünsche offen .

Went to the Christmas menu with 3 people. Were very happy with the food and the service. Dietary restrictions were taken into account

Yesterday my boss invited me to the company Christmas dinner. There were ten of us, including two children. Service and food were top. I had the ox cheeks, highly recommended!

Wonderful meal, very friendly service. Thank you very much!

Sehr schmackhaftes Essen, und zwar Fleischgericht (Entenkeuke) wie auch der Vegane Burger, ein Gaumenschmaus; freundliche Bedienung, gemütliches Ambiente. Wir kommen wieder!

Genial ist die saisonale Küche. Im Winter gibt es zum Beispiel Grünkohl oder Wild. Hatte den Wildschweinburger, sehr kreativ und lecker

Der Service hat deutlich Luft nach oben. Wenn der Aperitif noch nicht getrunken ist bringt man nicht schon den Weißwein zum Essen (der dann auf jeden Fall warm werden kann). Auch das erste Essen kam schon, als der Aperitif noch nicht getrunken war - geht gar nicht!!! Nach dem Essen sollte es einen Digestif geben: innerhalb von 2 Minuten wurden wir von drei verschiedenen Mitarbeitern gefragt, ob wir endlich bestellen wollen - ein no go! Schade, dass der Eindruck vom guten Essen durch die Qualität des Service auf der Strecke bleibt.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Das Menü Gans und rock and roll was sehr lecker.

Die Ganz war vorbestellt. Es war super lecker und wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt. Danke nochmal an den Koch und sein Team. Es war so gut zubereitet, dass wir es ohne Einschränkungen empfehlen können. Danke.

Nette zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter. Gutes Essen Preis Leistung gut. Nettes Ambiente. Gern wieder.

Arrogant, unhöflich ohne Empathie. Gäste scheinen eine Belastung. Grundsatz des "Ladens", ... wir haben es nicht nötig!

Das Essen ist super angerichtet, Geschmacklich auch voll ok. Der Preis etwas über den Durchschnitt. Aber was gar nicht geht für ein Restaurant welches besser sein möchte als andere, ist, das der Kellner nicht weiß was er da überhaupt serviert!!!

Mussten auf freien Tisch warten, wurden später dann aus der Bar zum Tisch geleitet, super Essen super service

Ahoi, Was für eine super Küche und vor allem wie schnell das Essen am Tisch war, obwohl das Restaurant ausgebucht war. Respekt. Wir hatten ein Steak Medium-Rare bestellt und so wurde es auch serviert. Top Qualität und es hat Klasse geschmeckt. Auch der Fischteller war ein Gedicht. Drei verschiedene Filets und alle glasig, dazu eine Sauce mit Krabben und Muscheln und Kartoffeln. Wir waren sehr begeistert und kommen nächstes Jahr wieder. LG Michaela und Nils
