Restaurant "Weisse Düne" in Norderney

Excellent food – very interesting and delicious interpretations of the dishes, prepared in a digestible way. We'd be happy to return.

Top marks for food, service, and friendliness. Always happy to return.

We were very satisfied. I went there spontaneously with my two children and received a friendly welcome and a good meal. We'd be happy to come back, even with a reservation. Thank you!

Super delicious food and very polite/nice service

Nice young people with good manners!

Perfect place to stop after a long walk on the beach. I highly recommend the sweet potato fries and the beach burger. They're incredibly delicious 😊 Plus, they even come with a salad. That's not a given in many places anymore. The atmosphere in the room is great. The service is cheerful, which is contagious. I'd love to come back here again 🥰

What can I say? A classic that's worth stopping by. *Sucking cold* was delicious. Especially since our group had hiked almost 7km beforehand. Friendly service. A beautiful beach just below. We'd love to come back.

On one page of the menu, the heading "Kiss the Chef" is written! I would have loved to do that, too, after eating the potato soup with crab.

We only had a few drinks, so no stars for the food. The weather was very good during our visit (thanks to the ladies who moved closer together for us), so it was accordingly busy. My respect for the service, who once again had everything under control and were also very friendly.

I enjoyed reaching it by bike through the dunes. A lovely place for a break and to linger.

Great atmosphere with attentive service and delicious food! Dogs are also welcome and are well looked after.

I've been here many times, but today it was horrible. It was irresponsible how an employee of the Norderney Technical Services endangered children today when he picked up the beach chair with a loader. The children were behind him, putting things away. Even though we called out, he just kept going.

A frequently and happily chosen location with a beautiful view of the North Sea.

Food was okay. Service was tired and unfriendly. Location: Great.

Great atmosphere and a lovely place to linger.... whether by bike, on foot, or by bus, anyone on the island should go there at least once....

A very nice and good restaurant! We've been here twice with the family, and the food, service, and ambiance were all very nice. We'll be back next time!

A trendy hotspot on Norderney. Here you can enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant or just a hot chocolate on the terrace (unless you can find a free seat). It's amazing that the "Weisse-Düne-Bier" here comes from Gruibingen in the Swabian Alb. All the best, in fact.

Super delicious, nice location, friendly service... We'll be happy to come back 💯🫶✌️

A very nice location, super creative dishes. Overall, highly recommended. We'd love to come back on our next visit to the island.

Disgusting brown mint leaves in the Almdudler, the vegetables were truly boring, the service was unbelievably bad, we had to wait forever even though they saw us. The waiter didn't listen properly and forgot half of what we were eating. Then you had to remind him again and he still forgot half of what we were eating. You definitely get the feeling that the only thing they care about here is the "VIPs." Outside, you're treated rather poorly – for all the hype surrounding the white dune – a real shame, we really expected more! We definitely won't be coming back.

Top restaurant. My wife and I celebrated our wedding here and returned two more times during our subsequent stay. Simply a fantastic ambiance with excellent service. We couldn't have imagined a better setting for our wedding with 20 people. Everything was simply perfect that evening. And even after a few initial hiccups, everything went smoothly with the planning and coordination beforehand. The other two visits (once for lunch and once for dinner) were also very good. I had fish and chips for lunch and the daily special in the evening. I can also particularly recommend the towers, although they are quite a large starter for two people. Generally speaking, it's important to make a reservation in the evening and it's generally very busy.

The food was great. The wine was excellent too 😊 Highly recommended.

We had reserved a table. The setting was child-friendly for our children. They were able to color their papers. Our waitress, Mia, was super friendly and incredibly prompt. Even when a mistake occurred in the kitchen, everything was resolved quickly and easily. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cozy.

Highly recommended as a beach restaurant ala Sansibar Sylt... only not as expensive ;-) Great ambiance, lovely indoor and outdoor areas with direct access to the beach... simply beautiful location. Next door is a great little shop for souvenirs and delicious homemade beer... You should definitely go here, preferably by bike. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner, though...

Beautiful restaurant. The almond cake with Friesen ice cream, or the vegetarian burger, are highly recommended. Friendly service. However, prices have risen significantly in recent years, especially on the evening menu...

We eat here at least once a year. The quality is and remains simply top-notch. The service is consistently good, too. Always worth a visit.

A bottomless concept. You have to make a reservation to get the full menu; if you don't, you'll only get a small selection. Specifically, a snack or a vegan 🤮 burger. It's a shame, it hasn't been like this in recent years.

Trendy or not... The staff is friendly, but they're all untrained temps. Everything is geared toward tourists, and the prices are just as reasonable. I won't be going back...

Beautifully decorated, cozy, and excellent food, but it's very crowded, which means the service suffers a bit. We'd happily return.

We've been coming to the island at least once a year since 2006 (except during the coronavirus pandemic), and a beach walk to the White Dune is always a must, no matter how long we're there. We got married on the island in 2008, and after the church wedding, we celebrated here in the restaurant with a fantastic buffet while the restaurant was still open. Our guests and we will never forget it; it was unique and wonderful! Nowadays, there's often a long queue at the entrance during the day, and tables are assigned. But usually, it's quicker than you expect before seats become available inside. Before or after dinner, you can use the time there to go to the beach. In the summer, they have beach chairs for rent and a small kiosk with drinks, ice cream, and snacks. The location and ambiance are fantastic, the staff are always super friendly, and the food is fresh and delicious. Simply fantastic!!!

Coffee too strong and there is no cappuccino...only milk coffee

A really nice restaurant right on the white dune. The location is 10/10, and the food was also incredibly delicious. The prices are a bit on the high side, of course, but they're perfectly fine for the quality ☺️🙌🏼

In the evening, there are only four very special dishes on the terrace. They tend to be not ideal for children—no exceptions are made. We had the "Türmchen" (little tower) and it was very tasty, but definitely a special dish—you have to be a good fish/crab eater! Absolutely great service and a fantastic atmosphere!! ⭐️

Good food, but you may have to wait a bit.

Simply a lovely beach bar with a great evening menu, friendly staff, and direct beach access! We'd gladly return.

Super nice restaurant! Good selection of vegetarian dishes. A lovely destination for a bike ride. See you soon!

Here, bicycles worth €10,000 [two of them] are simply being invasively relocated and damaged... One can only be astonished by the way this customer education is handled. Another bicycle was also damaged in the unkind attempt to "reject" our bikes there. The bikes weren't in the way, just a side note.

Great location, that's about it. The waitress (man), I don't know his name, was absolutely unfriendly! The menu/food served outside was a complete rip-off... The price/performance ratio was a joke! If you don't have a reservation (outside), you get a selection of a few mini snacks at exorbitant prices. Yes, fine dining costs money, I know that... definitely never again for my wife and me. But the beach is great, so definitely bring your own drinks and snacks...

We love coming to the White Dune every time we go on holiday. The location is very nice and cozy, both inside and out. We particularly like the relaxed atmosphere. The fountain beer is highly recommended, and in my opinion, they also have the best shrimp stew in the world. The value for money is excellent, the portions are really generous, and the prices are always fair. We recommend the White Dune to everyone, especially families with children.

The White Dune on Norderney is a worthwhile destination every year during our vacation! You can easily walk there along the north beach and are rewarded with particularly attractively presented dishes. I would definitely like to highlight the "Pumpkin Inferno"! Vanilla Friesen ice cream with a dash of pumpkin seed oil, roasted pumpkin seeds, and a dollop of pumpkin compote. A true explosion of flavor that I highly recommend! The almond crumble with Friesen ice cream yogurt, plum compote, and cookie crumble is also definitely worth a treat!

Consistently high quality food and drinks. The seating here is simply comfortable and convivial. Our waiter always had a witty joke and was truly entertaining. Thank you, Mr. B. from E. in Münsterland!

Great oven right on the White Dune. Stylishly decorated with a small menu. Perfect for relaxing and chilling.

Great place to sit outside or inside. Gets quite full but they also have a kiosk at the beach. Super friendly nice people.

We celebrated our wedding with 20 guests at the Weiße Düne. It couldn't have been better. Top-notch service, amazing food, a dream location. All of our guests remembered the evening for a long time. We returned a week later and enjoyed the atmosphere. The Weiße Düne does everything right. You feel comfortable and welcome here.

The location is absolutely fantastic! Right on the beach, almost overlooking the ocean. I found the prices significantly too high this year. The drink prices, in particular, are unbearable...

Unfortunately, our visit to the restaurant's outdoor area was marked by some inconsistencies. There were only three vegetarian or vegan dishes to choose from. When we asked if we could sit inside and order from the regular menu (including meat dishes), we were refused, with the explanation that reservations would have to be made at least five weeks in advance. The restaurant was not even half full at that time. We were also informed that no meat dishes were currently offered, even though they were still listed on the official online menu. It was all the more disconcerting that other guests in the outdoor area were apparently receiving dishes from the regular menu, including meat options. This contradictory behavior unfortunately leaves the impression of a lack of transparency and unequal treatment – almost like a two-tier society. Overall, this visit was rather disappointing. The ambience is appealing, but service and communication urgently need to be made clearer and more consistent. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the restaurant at this time.

Very tasty food with very friendly and charming service (Marry).

We really liked the stylish location. We only had a drink there, but we'll definitely come back for dinner. The only thing missing is some shady outdoor seating. Best wishes to Fabian :)

You should go in there... went on a bike tour and stopped here, very nice, service top

Good menu, stylish inside, a must on Norderney

Not bad, but the prices were pretty steep. It wasn't worth it to me. And you can't see the beach or the North Sea.

If you're happy paying €5 for a coffee, this is the place for you. Unfortunately, I'm out of that category.

There were three of us there. One of our group was wearing a second-division football jersey and was warmly greeted by a super-friendly waiter. Sometimes it's the little things that make you extremely happy. We also had delicious Frisian ice cream and drinks. Unfortunately, we haven't been there very often, as we were put off by the extremely long line. But one thing is for sure: it's worth it!

It is a beautiful piece of beach with a very rustic hut, but self-service and excessive prices

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Overall, the restaurant offers a mediocre experience. The dishes are rather unspectacular in terms of taste and sometimes a bit bland – especially the thin, white sauces and side dishes lack freshness and flavor. The prices are comparatively high, which is disproportionate to the quality offered. The service is also mediocre – while attentive, at times inattentive or unfriendly. There are definitely better alternatives for the price.

I highly recommend the Weisse Düne to anyone visiting Norderney. The service is truly excellent and extremely friendly. The food is incredibly delicious, and the whole experience is highly recommended! We'd love to come back when we're back on the island :)

The best restaurant on the island. Of course, everything costs a euro more, but it's definitely recommended. It's best to try all the beers. They were all delicious. The seating is very comfortable. But it fills up pretty quickly.

Nice restaurant near the beach. Prices and service are reasonable.

A truly lovely place to linger, with a fireplace inside, it's really cozy. The service was excellent and the kids loved it. The food was delicious. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back. Delicious.

Weiss Düne is, of course, a must for any Norderney vacation. Currywurst from a jar and a smoky beer. Always a favorite.

Schlechter und unorganisierter Service, lautes Lokal, gehobener Preis für Standard-Essen. Insgesamt nicht empfehlenswert.

We were at the Weisen Düne in the evening, the food was simply amazing and the service very friendly.

We celebrated our wedding there, and it was simply amazing. Top-notch service, food, and everything. Simply fantastic.

A very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. A beautiful dune landscape invites you to hike.

Poor and disorganized service, overpriced for standard fare. The restaurant seems to be living off its bygone reputation. The ambiance is very nice, but that's not why you should go there.

A must-see and "enjoy" experience. 👍😎 Great location, great food, and friendly staff

Chef's favorite soup is still world class even after several years

Beautiful ambiance, delicious cake, good coffee, and, most importantly, motivated and very friendly staff!!! TOP!!!

We came here twice, once for afternoon coffee and once for dinner. Both times, the service was generally very quick and friendly. The second time, however, we were forgotten during shift change. This was quickly rectified after we made ourselves known. The food and drinks were really great both times – some of the best we've had on Norderney. There's a lot of heavy drinking going on outside, especially, which is probably encouraged by the offer of magnum bottles of beer, for example. Inside, however, you don't notice much of this and sit in the lovely restaurant area or in the lounge with a fireplace. Overall, a highly recommended location.

A stunningly beautiful restaurant! Great design and ambiance. Very stylish and thoughtful down to the last detail. Lots of wood, very warm colors, and everything coordinated. The area with the fireplace, huge windows, and the view of the dunes and sea is simply stunning! The staff is amazing! Very friendly and competent, with a smile and a joy to work with. Fantastic! Our meal was served quickly and was a real eye-catcher! There were nine of us, and everyone enjoyed it. At first glance, the portions didn't seem large, but we barely finished them and were absolutely stuffed. I highly recommend it! I really hope I'll have the opportunity to visit this wonderful restaurant again.

A must-try on Norderney was the beach burger with sweet potatoes and salad, a really generous portion and delicious. Right on the beach, with very attentive and friendly service. The price/quality ratio is absolutely right given the great location and setting. The plum crumble cake is also highly recommended. See you next time.

We were there for the first time today with five adults and one child! The food was delicious and the service was really good. The waitress who served our table was so friendly, something you rarely see these days! Thank you for the lovely evening!

Super leckeres Essen ,der Fisch war mega und absolut toller,freundlicher,sympathischer Service. Kommen gerne wieder.

Always worth a hike! Great menu, very friendly service! 2023 See above! Nothing has changed; we strolled leisurely through the dunes, snagged a sunny terrace spot, made a reservation for the evening, and were welcome to sit outside. The food was amazing as always, we received very good wine recommendations, and the service was always courteous and attentive! Always with a witty saying, funny, and yet still keeping an eye on everything. The employees are all very good "salespeople"! And here's a little tip for the negative reviewers: 1. Address mistakes directly, and you'll get help right away. 2. There are hundreds of other "important" guests who want to be served immediately; it's just not possible! On vacation, you have time, or you cook at home, the end of it! In short – THE GUEST IS KING WHEN THEY BEHAVE LIKE AN EMPEROR! Greetings from the restaurateurs who know how to work hard 🤪🤣 to Sören and Fabi!

The staff was extremely friendly, even though all the outside tables were occupied. The food and drinks were served quickly; the food was excellent and hot, and the drinks were cold. It couldn't be better. Thank you for the lovely afternoon. We'd love to come back.

Like every year, we ate there not only during the day but also in the evening. On the recommendation of the friendly waitress, we ordered the following (not on the menu): Riesling Weingut "Gold" and the "Fischkiste" (fish box). Dessert from the menu: "Tiramisu with a twist" with two spoons (a scoop of ice cream with flowers). Everything was top-notch and delicious. What struck us: The highly motivated staff. We come three times a year. The service has always been the same for the past three years. Which speaks volumes about the Düne as an employer.

Wie jedes Jahr waren wir auch diesmal nicht nur tagsüber sondern auch abends dort essen. Auf Empfehlung der netten Bedienung folgendes bestellt ( stand nicht auf der Karte ) : Riesling Weingut "Gold"und die "Fischkiste" . Nachtisch von der Karte : "Tiramisu mal anders" mit zwei Löffeln ( Eiskugel mit Blüten ) Alles Top und lecker. Was uns auffällt : Sehr viel motiviertes Personal vorhanden. Wir kommen drei mal jährlich. Die letzten 3 Jahre immer die gleiche Bedienung. Was für die Düne als Arbeitgeber spricht.

Beautiful restaurant, great ambiance, delicious food, and very friendly service. What bothered us was that the "boss" reprimanded the friendly employees in front of the guests! Unpleasant for both staff and guests!

March 21, 2023 great location on the beach in Norderney 🙃 very friendly and attentive service 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 Plum cake with a glass of Pinot Gris 😋 June 21, 2025 here we are again 😀 still top 👌 Hamburger 🍔 with sweet potatoes + salad simply delicious + 🍻 😋😋

I can't say much about the Weiße Düne restaurant. But there's a really lovely lady working in the little souvenir shop next door! Thanks again for the Weiße Düne bags!

Lange Wartezeit und ein unfreundlicher Kellner im Außenbereich. Lieber Getränke selber mitbringen und genießen, anstatt sich zu ärgern.

Also eigentlich null Sterne. Der Kellner Daniel unglaublich frech und unhöflich. Zuvor hat er sich mit unseren Benachbarten Gästen gestritten. Man wird sehr zurecht gewiesen. Lange Wartezeiten und noch doofe Kommentare. Schmiss die Karte auf den Tisch im vorbeilaufen. Unglaublich sowas unfreundliches hab ich noch nie erlebt. Danke für nichts. Beim Hinweis auf eine Bewertung, ruderte er wieder zurück und wurde plötzlich freundlich. NIe wieder!!!!

Unfortunately, I found the waiter, "Daniel," in the outdoor area to be rude and lacking in manners. I waited 15 minutes, the menu was thrown on the table, and after asking if I could order something, the answer was that I didn't even say "hello." Unfortunately, it seemed to me as if the gentleman bringing the drinks had no training in the hospitality industry. The manual was apparently unfamiliar. Guests are supposed to be greeted in a friendly manner. That didn't seem to be the case. Ultimately, the money was spent at another restaurant that was 1000% friendlier. A wonderful place, which unfortunately led to such a negative review from one person. Given the many negative reviews, it's very questionable why such service still exists. In my opinion, this should not be supported any further. As promised, I send my best regards.

Comfortable seating, friendly staff, highly recommended.

The redfish was truly perfect, and the side dishes were perfectly prepared. Another positive is that there's a children's menu, which isn't immediately apparent on the website.

Very nice ambience. Good food and wine. Very friendly service. All in all, very good.

A lovely day trip destination. Good access to the north beach.

Delicious food and incredibly friendly service!

It's just sad what kind of helpless staff they employ here. Waiters walk past tables empty-handed without even asking if the customer would like a drink. No wonder the manager wants to run three restaurants at once. Unbelievable.

Yes, right on the beach. Very nice here.

Very nice location, but completely crowded. And it wasn't even a weekend or a holiday.

It's a shame, we used to love coming here! They don't serve cappuccino anymore, and the service isn't as customer-oriented. The location is so good that I get the feeling the Weisse Düne no longer makes any effort for its guests.

Stylish ambience, attentive and friendly service and very good food - we were extremely satisfied.

A terrible place. Understaffed, and waiters take it out on the customers. Waiter Dennis and the busboy (older and with a beard) took 40 minutes to bring a 3L bottle of beer. They showed no understanding of why we were in a bad mood. The busboy asked if we "needed some pills." Always a regular, but unfortunately never again. If there aren't enough staff, then they'll open tables instead of prioritizing quantity over quality.

Good ambiance. World-class food.

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food. However, I definitely lose a star for the waitress who served me (a blonde with a noticeable tattoo on her face) – she was extremely unpleasant, condescending, and deficient in etiquette.

Very nice location Very friendly and helpful staff A bit too high value for money

It was great and the food was good. It's worth it.

This restaurant is highly recommended. We went there twice during our vacation: once for the delicious soup with fish, crab, and mussels, bread, and aioli, and a second time in the evening for Wiener Schnitzel made with salted veal and lamb. Both times it was incredibly delicious, and the service was very attentive (thanks to Marry and Fabian). The prices reflect the really good quality of the food, and the portions were more than ample. It's a shame it's so far away for us, but we'll definitely be back.

Despite the full house, we received attentive and very friendly service. The soups and spicy potatoes were very tasty.
