Restaurant Leuchtfeuer / Strandbude Bistro & Bar in Otterndorf

The food was delicious, the service exemplary, and the location is simply top-notch!

Always a culinary experience with excellent service. We're already looking forward to the next time.

I went there for breakfast and definitely recommend it. A very extensive selection with high-quality products. Everything was delicious. The staff was also extremely friendly and attentive. Ten out of ten.

A very nice ambiance, Nordic and modern, on the Medem. Very tasty and unique dishes at a great price for these days. Our daughter had four fish fingers and mashed potatoes with chives, plus a free mini Magnum ice cream for €5.50. You can't complain at all. Very nice outdoor area with beach chairs on the Medem. Highly recommended.

I just had a quick coffee and sat in the garden. It's a very nice hotel. Outside, there's a beautiful view of a small river with canoe rentals. Great.

Great restaurant, great food and attentive staff - highly recommended

A wonderful evening. A taste experience. We had the three-course fish menu tonight. To say we were delighted and felt at ease is an understatement. Thank you for the attentive and perfect service. 5 stars are not enough. See you next time. Thank you very much.

Great restaurant. Really good food, friendly and fast service, and a very nice, appealing, and cozy ambiance. A visit here is always a pleasure.

We rented a canoe here and paddled along the nearby river. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating.

I have to say, I'd like to give the food a sixth star. What I like to do is dress simply and eat high-quality food. And then you see how I'm treated. And here, it's simply fantastic. The service is fantastic, polite, friendly, accommodating, and very friendly. The food, as already mentioned, unfortunately doesn't deserve a sixth star. We will definitely go back.

Highly recommended, very good value for money.

Excellent service. Great food. But a main course that costs €25 should fill you up. Great taste. A salad or something else on the side would suffice.

Very friendly staff! Very attentive, very pleasant. Simply great! We were thrilled. The drinks were delicious too. We had a drink in the evening; the atmosphere was great.

Beautiful restaurant in the hotel on the banks of the Medem, with very good food at really reasonable prices. The 3-course menu for €39 was absolutely delicious, plentiful, well-presented, and served very hot (I haven't experienced that very often). The drinks selection was very good. Unfortunately, the Primitivo red wine was sold out on the second evening. The service offered a really great alternative. However, you should make a reservation in advance, as many hotel guests dine there. Please keep up the good work.

Great service. Delicious 3-course menu. Excellent value for money. Beautiful maritime ambiance. Would gladly return...

The location is great, the staff, including the manager and his wife, are very friendly and more than accommodating. We booked a room for my mother, and everything was done to make her stay as comfortable as possible, despite her needing a walker. Special requests, such as an additional stool in the bathroom, were immediately accommodated. As a highlight, we were even able to get a used beach chair, as they were replacing all the ones on site. Yesterday we went there again for dinner, and the staff was once again incredibly accommodating and friendly. The food was also amazing, the wine was great, and the portion size was… okay.

Hey, I want to review this place today: ➡️Food: No rating, as we only had cocktails ➡️Drinks: 🔟 / 🔟 ➡️Location: 8️⃣ / 🔟 Easy to reach on foot or by car ➡️Service: 6️⃣ / 🔟 ➡️Atmosphere: 🔟 / 🔟 ➡️Value for money: 7️⃣ / 🔟 ▶️ Conclusion: Hey, we had a few cocktails here and were very surprised; they were one of the best cocktails of my life. I think we had the best spot outside in our beach chairs. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Unfortunately, it took half an hour for the menu to arrive (even though there were only three other guests). We wanted to have a few cocktails explained to us, but they rolled their eyes. Unfortunately, after placing our order, we had to wait another 40 minutes for the first two drinks to arrive. But the wait was worth it! Very, very tasty cocktails. Please bring your time, patience, and plenty of money. The price was a bit high per cocktail, but you don't want to be like that. You can definitely visit sometime.

Great breakfast buffet and very pleasant atmosphere 😊

Excellent cuisine and very attentive service!

Everything was really excellent!

Thank you for the lovely evening, we felt very comfortable. It was super tasty, highly recommended.

The meal, duet of lamb, was not tasty, the leg slice was very fatty and stringy.

The food was delicious, the service was very attentive and friendly. I was given the opportunity to eat with my daughter in the “main room” or choose to go to a smaller area. I found that to be very thoughtful. Thank you for that. The ambience was created with a lot of heart. If I go on holiday here again at some point I will definitely come again.

I had the pleasure of dining at the Leuchtfeuer restaurant in Otterndorf and can only recommend it! The ambience is cozy and inviting – perfect for a relaxed meal in a pleasant atmosphere. The menu offers a great selection of regional and seasonal dishes that are freshly prepared and taste excellent. I was particularly impressed by the fish dishes - perfectly cooked and prepared with attention to detail. The meat dishes were also prepared to perfection and of high quality. Service was friendly and attentive, although it can take a little longer during busy times. A reservation is therefore recommended. Overall, a great restaurant for anyone who wants to enjoy good German cuisine in a relaxed environment. I'll definitely come

Very friendly service and very good cuisine.

Very nice evening, nice, attentive and funny service; Top advice, all dishes and drinks were perfect and tasted excellent. Noticeably a breath of fresh air! Keep it up!

Very nice service, nice ambience, the breakfast was so delicious 😋 Thanks for the super nice service You just have to go here👍👍👍👍👍

Very cozy restaurant! We were there for a hearty Sunday breakfast and were not disappointed. Everything you can imagine is there in abundance and is always replenished. Friendly, attentive staff. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

Actually everything was great. Great location and delicious food. Unfortunately our dog 🐶 is not welcome.

Nice atmosphere, great rolls for breakfast. The salads for the breakfast buffet should be stirred once before placing them in the buffet. I was bothered by the skin that formed on the surface. Otherwise it was a great breakfast there.

Had a very delicious Christmas dinner with the family! It was very tasty and the service was great!

The all-round carefree package!!! Great ambience, great service and excellent food!!! Highly recommended 👍

A pleasure to dine here. Thanks to everyone there.

Friendly welcome, nice ambience, very tasty and refined food and well-kept drinks, attentive and courteous service, despite many Christmas parties in the restaurant there was a lot of activity but no rush... an all-round great and successful evening, thank you very much...

Unusual good cuisine in a great ambience. Friendly staff!

Perfect evening with delicacies from the region

Hello everyone, Even though the restaurant wasn't open yet, we were offered a small menu to satisfy our hunger. Great food, strong service and really nice ambience. Best regards

The restaurant is very nicely located and equipped. Great ambience. Staff very friendly and accommodating, always asking questions. The food is down-to-earth but there are also sophisticated and very interesting variants. Great vegetarian dishes. Price-performance ratio fits. We'll be back

Delicious food, friendly service, quick, would be back again!

The food was excellent: We had a super tasty veggie bowl with lots of taste surprises and tender braised local beef. Together with the extraordinary ambience, it was a completely successful evening. Thank you!

Very friendly staff and good cuisine

First of all: from a culinary point of view, it's really, really good if you use salt and pepper. Otherwise: “Clothes make the man” and “dogs are not welcome” was our impression. We certainly won't be coming back and are happy to leave our money elsewhere. The staff seemed arrogant and unwelcoming...we know other places. September 1st: we booked based on a recommendation, well in advance of our arrival. When we book, we always mention our dog and the desire not to get in the way of any other guests or employees. We were promised a place based on the weather when we made a reservation several weeks in advance, and there was no mention of the fact that dogs were not allowed in the restaurant. It supports the decision to no longer recommend this location.

Very, very tasty food, a little more expensive, but definitely appropriate for the atmosphere and especially the excellent staff! We'll be back!

Very nice atmosphere and very friendly service. The food was very tasty and the portions were really good.

It's such a lovely place, with great staff and lovely rooms. Been there a few times this year, and each time a great experience

Very tasty food! The appetizer plate for two made a big impression on us visually. Everything from the pumpkin soup to the marinated salmon tasted delicious! The “North Sea” tarte flambée with cranes and salmon tasted very tasty. Pike perch fillet with hazelnut crust on risotto was very tender and versatile with different flavors on the plate. Value for money considering the quality is very good.

Very good restaurant, excellent selection of dishes. Price ok.

The chef can do something, so far every meal has been delicious. Nice atmosphere, nice staff. A place to feel good.

This is just a review about the canoe rental there. We didn't use the restaurant itself. We (4 people) were able to book a canoe via a telephone reservation. The lady at the reception was very nice and accommodating. For 2 hours we paid 25 euros for a 4 seater. The trip on the Medem was very nice and quiet. Overall a nice experience and recommended.

Nice service, good food and drinks, very nice location

Excellent food, super service! We opted for the red bass and hamburger, followed by chocolate cake - devine!

Brunch here is always delicious, plentiful, great selection and very fresh. Beautiful, quiet, cozy and delicious. Always my pleasure.

Very nicely designed in a maritime style. The food was excellent.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food and courteous staff. Reasonable contemporary pricing. The ingredients come from the region as far as can be assessed and are arranged according to the session. The dishes are prepared with a lot of culinary skill and served with a lot of dedication. TOP 👍🏻

Great selection at the breakfast buffet with rolls from the bakery and friendly service.

Actually really nicely done, but the food wasn't that good. In my opinion the fish was not freshly prepared!!

Nicely located to enjoy the delicious cakes with a cup of coffee.

Very nice restaurant and the food tastes very tasty. Good selection and very friendly staff. 😄

An excellent restaurant. We ate very tasty food. The service is courteous and very friendly. You can sit very comfortably. The price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate.

I ate deliciously and seasoned it cleverly

Modern restaurant with an interesting menu. The baked oyster mushroom and celery puree dish was delicious. The service was very nice and accommodating. The prices are reasonable, but like almost everywhere these days, they are relatively high.

Today we had six adults and a toddler for dinner. The food was tasty, but unfortunately no longer hot, which was probably due to the staff being very uncoordinated. The staff often forgot orders, so you had to keep asking, each time a different service came. The child was served last.😡 Given the prices, the service should definitely be better. We are a little disappointed.

Excellent food. Absolutely recommended

Very good food and friendly service. Simply great

Always my pleasure! Very friendly and competent staff. Quality of the food consistently positive.

Modern but very cozy restaurant on the Medemufer. Friendly staff. We enjoyed the candelight dinner there. The food was very good and nicely prepared.

Super leckeres Essen. Sehr schön angerichtet. Ambiente einfach toll. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Creative cuisine that leaves nothing to be desired, we are thrilled!

Delicious food and very cozy ambience. The service was very good as well.

A tastefully Scandinavian style hotel, clean, quiet rooms. In the morning with a great breakfast buffet, a great bar lounge with a view of the river. The hotel is located directly opposite the brine pool and about 10 minutes on foot to the sea.

The breakfast buffet costs €23 per person and includes coffee, juices, water and sparkling wine. Very tasty food and plenty of choice!

We were guests with nine people. The various main courses and desserts were all very tasty. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We would love to come back again.

Very nice staff. The food was different but very, very tasty. Well made, beautifully presented and finely seasoned. I would go again.

Very nice atmosphere in the “Strandbude”! The burgers with the brilliant fries are also always worth a visit! ;)

Preisanpassung gelungen : 4,50 für eine Tasse Tee

We dined here an evening between X-mas and the new years week-end 2023. The place was obviously understaffed with one experienced waitress for the whole restaurant only. So we waited almost an hour for our main course that clearly had spent too much time under the warming lamp, arriving overcooked. We were stupid enough to order bread with two dips as a starter for two. Six small bread slices and two minuscule bowls of dip were all we had for 8 eur 50...And finally, we had to wait 20 min for our cheque. Overall poor value for money but maybe better when better staffed after the holidays.

Sehr leckeres, exclusives Essen. Tolles Ambiente, super freundlicher Service 😊

Wirklich sehr schönes Ambiente, sehr nettes Personal und tolles Frühstück!

Wir waren zwei Paare und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Unbeschwert in guter Atmosphäre leckeren Flammkuchen gegessen mit guten Getränken dabei.

Sehr gute Küche. Service aufmerksam.

Volle Punktzahl 👍👍👍 Sehr lecker und besonders Sehr freundliches Personal Im Sommer kann man gemütlich draußen sitzen... Gerne wieder 😃

Alles einfach perfekt 👍⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏

Sehr Leckeres und Reichhaltiges Frühstücks Buffet

Reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet, leckeres Abendessen und Cocktails im schönen Ambiente. Service sehr zuvorkommend.

Ein toller Ort an der Medem mit sehr nettem Servicepersonal und einer wirklich guten Küche! Der Außenbereich ist sehr schön angelegt - wir waren sicherlich nicht zum letzten Mal hier! Echter Tipp. Macht bitte weiter so.👍

Das Restaurant ist sehr hell, in maritimem Stil eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und schnell. Die Speisekarte ist nicht sehr umfangreich, bietet aber für jeden Geschmack mehrere Alternativen. Das Essen selbst ist sehr schmackhaft und sehr appetitlich präsentiert. Wir waren in kurzem Abstand zwei Mal hier und freuen uns auf das nächste Mal.

Super tolles Essen super Service alles einfach nur spitze

Tolles Ambiente, schnelle und zuvorkommende Bedienung, das Essen war echt lecker, alles in allem nur weiter zu empfehlen 👍🏼

Sehr lecker und große Portionen zu vernünftigen Preisen 😊 gerne wieder

Sehr gute Küche vieles aus der Region

Gemütlich mit leckerem Bier vom Fass und leckeren Essen, aufmerksames nettes Personal, da kehrt man gerne wieder ein

Sehr schönes stilvolles Ambiente, Essen war sehr lecker und schnell am Tisch und der Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam!

Ein wunderschönes Ambiente kann man hier genießen, sehr stilvoll. Der Service ist sehr gut ausgebildet und die Küche zielt auf den anspruchsvollen Gaumen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Sehr, sehr leckeres Essen und eine nette Bedienung, die sich gut um uns gekümmert hat. Der vegane Burger ist wirklich gut und bei dem Nachtisch sei das Buchweizeneis extra hervorzuheben. Einfach phantastisch!

Schönes Ambiente und das Essen war auch sehr lecker!

Tolles Ambiente, netter und schneller Service. Essen ist nicht zu üppig aber sehr schmackhaft und nicht zu teuer. Sehr lecker die Hollandaise zum Spargel. Das geschmorrte Rind mit viererlei Gemüse war köstlich.

Toller Platz um zu relaxen und ein Eis oder Getränk zu konsumieren...

Als wir die Karte lasen, lief uns schon das Wasser im Mund zusammen. Als das Essen kam, waren wir enttäuscht. Auf der Karte wurde "Spargel vom Spargelhof mit Sauce Hollandaise" ausgewiesen. Leider kam die Hälfte des Spargels als grüner Spargel daher. Für uns fühlte es sich so an, als wäre nach einem günstigeren Ersatzprodukt gesucht worden, ohne es mit dem Gast zu kommunizieren. Zudem schien das Schnitzel nicht frisch geklopft und gebraten worden zu sein. Die Panade klebte eng und fest am Fleisch. Es war trocken und schien so, als hätte das Schnitzel zum Aufwärmen die Friteuse oder ein anderes Gerät besucht. Zuhause hätten wir dieses Gericht besser zubereiten können. Schade zum das Geld

Sehr hübsches Restaurant mit exzellentem Essen und freundlichem Personal in wunderschöner Umgebung zu vernünftigen Preisen. Die Zutaten kommen größtenteils aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung. Die Teller werden mit viel kulinarischem Können zubereitet und mit viel Hingabe angerichtet. Ein tolles Ergebnis.

Sehr freundlicher, Service. Ein sehr schönes Ambiente und eine gute Speisekarte. Leckere Cocktails auch ohne Alkohol.
