Seestern in Norden

As soon as we got inside, we were yelled at for blocking the way. It's the tone that makes the music. It was unfriendly. As we sat there waiting for the waitress, and a family who looked German blocked the way in exactly the same spot, the tone suddenly became more human and understandable! We asked the waitress what she would recommend, and her answer: another restaurant! The food was accordingly terrible, with extra salt. Never again!

The food wasn't that good, it was very salty and you couldn't recognize the types of fish and the fried potatoes tasted stale and dried out Fanta didn't taste original

Great restaurant, really quaint with nice staff. Beer super tasty. I didn't eat, but everything looked great and smelled wonderful. Shop was full. I was there on November 23rd and April 25th and this time also for dinner. It's great what's being done there! I always eat the cod head, an absolute specialty and delicacy. My wife ate rump steak and schnitzel. Not fish, but beautifully prepared. For us, simply the best restaurant in Norddeich.

The food was very tasty and there are 3 different portion sizes

We have been coming regularly to eat at Seestern for well over 10 years. Unfortunately a small portion was sold to us today as a normal portion. When we asked about this, the waitress told us that it wasn't true, even though the next table got a significantly larger portion than normal. We complained again and then we were told we could write a review… What a shame!!! We feel ripped off and are happy to spread the word.

The food was extremely tasty and the service was very friendly and attentive

Our favorite restaurant every year, delicious fish and very friendly service!!! Also a Frisian spirit with a saying (thanks Sonja!) See you next time...

Top fish restaurant in Norddeich

Delicious food, unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the restaurant.

The service was very nice and funny. The fish was rather mass-produced and quickly fried.

Very good, balanced fish menu, there is also something for meat fanatics if they don't prefer fish. The food is served quickly and hot. Extra requests such as a change to the side dish or additional sauce are accepted immediately. The distance between the starter and the main course is optimal. At peak times - especially in the high season - you have to wait a little for a table. But for this price-performance ratio it's definitely worth it.

As always, a must when we are on the coast. Crab soup was a hit and so was the fish.

We were at Seestern today and were very satisfied. We really liked the fact that three portion sizes were offered. The service was attentive and the food was very tasty. We can highly recommend the restaurant.

There were two of us, the place was full but we didn't have to wait long. The sailor plate was extremely good and the service was very attentive and friendly, even though the restaurant was full. Highly recommended.

Very nice service. Very tasty food and nice atmosphere. Totally recommended.

We were completely satisfied. There is a star deduction because dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. With a dog you can only eat there when the weather is nice - outside.

Great atmosphere, good selection, very tasty food, no long waiting times and very friendly service All in all just good, would love to come back!

Very good service, the food was also delicious and plentiful 👍🏻

Very tasty food Very nice staff Nice atmosphere

Very nice, good, quick service. Food was very good. Thank you for the evening

Very friendly staff. Great selection of food and although it was busy, the food was served quickly.

We were so happy with our visit to Seestern! There was a delicious vegetarian and vegan selection and you could choose the portion size depending on your hunger (small, medium, large), with corresponding prices. There should be something like this everywhere, really great! The service was also very friendly and the food was very tasty. See you soon 😊 (By the way, it would be even nicer if dogs were allowed inside 🥺)

Right behind the dike, but not a rip-off. Great service, delicious fish options and top service

Very nice restaurant with very tasty dishes. We went there twice and it was delicious each time

Very tasty food and wonderful staff who answer questions about the dishes and give tips.

Nice restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. Fish and crabs were very good and finally a cook who can make good and tasty fried potatoes.

Not only is there delicious food and friendly staff here, what's particularly striking is that all the dishes are available in small portions, not just for children or pensioners! Top!

Super nice service, delicious food. Simply perfect!!!

Yes, if you're here and like eating fish, you shouldn't miss out on taking a look here

We've never been treated so rudely in a restaurant...! We arrived at the restaurant today (March 26, 2025) at 2:50 p.m. All the tables downstairs were occupied, and since we'd read in the Google reviews that the upstairs seating was nice, we decided to sit there. After 20 minutes, no one came to take our order, we went downstairs and politely asked if we needed to order downstairs. The female waitress then yelled at us why we were upstairs and why we had sat there without asking. The upstairs was closed... To clarify: At the bottom of the stairs, there's just a sign saying "Caution: Step"—no barrier, no indication of a closed upper level; all the tables upstairs were set with menus and decorations! When we then said that we unfortunately couldn't have known, the employee snapped, "Come down!" with a waving hand! We've never experienced anything like that before! If it had been a friendly request to wait a moment until a table downstairs was free, or to please take a seat downstairs because other guests might have paid and left in the 20 minutes we'd been waiting, and it would be easier for staff to manage, no problem. But such an unfriendly and unprofessional tone is unacceptable! They probably only serve regulars in a friendly manner, or they're too sure they won't see those stupid, paying tourists again anyway... In any case, we won't attempt to get food there again and won't recommend this place to anyone!

The food was great, the portions as well as the crab soup and the market salad were amazing

Fantastic fish dishes in a very cozy atmosphere. Great and very friendly service. Always on the ball. We'll be happy to come back.

Highly recommended ! Super tasty. Top prices and super nice service that I haven't experienced in a long time! A must if you are nearby!

On an atmospheric Friday evening, we visited the popular Seestern, where every corner of the restaurant was already bustling with cheerful guests. After a short wait, which only increased our anticipation, we finally found a seat. The other guests' recommendations about the delicious schnitzels had piqued our curiosity. And indeed, the children could hardly wait to try them. While the little ones enjoyed the schnitzels, we opted for the house fish. And what can I say? The naturally fried cod was a true feast for the palate: juicy and completely boneless. It was served with crispy fries, which went perfectly with the dish. My wife chose the sailor's plate with fried potatoes, and here, too, our palates were delighted by the harmonious flavors and loving preparation. The service was the icing on the cake of this wonderful evening – extremely friendly and attentive, especially with our children, who felt completely at home. The Seestern not only delighted us with its culinary delights, but also enchanted us with its warm atmosphere. We can hardly wait to return soon!

Very good fish menu. You can order most dishes in small, regular or extra large.

Good fish restaurant with high-quality dishes.

A good and pleasant restaurant. I didn't eat anything, just had a drink. Several plates passed by me, all of which looked very appetizing and the smell made me feel hungry.

Good food and more than friendly service. The portions are more than sufficient even in the “normal” size. Can be recommended with a clear conscience.

The fish fillet variants with fried potatoes are very tasty!

Found a spot outside in the wonderful sunshine.

If I'm ever in the area again, this is a must.

Friendly service. Food prepared quickly and well.

Really delicious food and nice staff. Sometimes it's just a little difficult to get a free seat, but that of course speaks for the place.

All in all, it was a very successful evening. From excellent beer to delicious food (here, the 112 with fried potatoes), to a nightcap (here, the Küstennebel). The waitress had a good saying for every order. Highly recommended!

A first-class dinner! Great service and the portions were also great!

Nice ambience and a wide selection of dishes in the fish section

Our regular restaurant when we are in Norddeich. Very nice staff, you can see that they enjoy their work. The food is always delicious, the portions are large, the fish is always fresh and buttery.

The restaurant offers excellent vegetarian and vegan variations on classic East Frisian cuisine. And the traditional cod fillet also impressed with its taste and quality.

Were there for the first time today. Very, very friendly staff! Super kid friendly! The food was super delicious!

I liked it best there. Very tasty quality food.

Quaint North Sea restaurant with great service and delicious food.

Absolutely. Unfortunately you cannot reserve. If you want to go there for a special occasion, it's a shame because it might not work out 🙁

Great fish restaurant, delicious food, nice service

Yes, very nice service. Food very good.. but it can always be better.

There's nothing to say. You have to experience it. Definite recommendation

As always perfect! Thank you rosi and team @

Price and performance match here. I'll definitely come back

It was our first time eating here and it won't be the last time. The food was delicious, it came very quickly and the service was super attentive and friendly. An additional plus point: you can choose between 3 portion sizes and there are even sample sizes for some dishes. Absolute recommendation from us👍

Always our first address in Norddeich. The food is simply great, the service is quick and very nice.

Yes, the food is a little more expensive than average, but you get really tasty, high-quality fish in a large portion with a great atmosphere and really first-class service! Gladly again!

Highly recommended! The waitresses are super nice and seem like they all more or less come from the area and wouldn't be doing this for the first time. Ordering is quick, food (fish fillet plate) was really tasty. Everything is available in small/normal/large. “Normal” is more than enough size. Prices are ok and the tartar sauce for €2.50 extra is really tasty and not just flavorful mayo. Outside you can sit nicely in the southwest, and inside it is also pleasant. At the entrance it says “Girocard” several times as a sticker, but you can also pay with Visa/Mastercard. This could be made clear again if necessary.

Very, very good food and very friendly service. Portions can be selected from small to normal to large. Everything is great. Always my pleasure.

Portions and taste good, very friendly and quick service. Recommended.

The weather was perfect, the fish was really tasty and the service was very friendly and the beer rounded everything off. I'm going again

Tasty, friendly and good. We always like to come back.

Very good restaurant a stone's throw from the seaside. The products are good, the dishes are generous and the service is friendly and impeccable. The prices are correct.

Highly recommended. Clear 5 stars! Very nice and courteous service. Delicious fish 🐟 and delicious fried potatoes. A must, not just for holidaymakers 👌

Once again we were received and served very well and friendly and the food was once again very, very tasty 😊😋

Very nice, super tasty and fair prices!

Nothing to complain about. Portions are decent and it tastes very good! Price-wise, yes a bit higher for tourists, but it's ok. Can you live with it?

The fish in the starfish is really great. We ate there several times. The waitress is stressed, but is always ready for a joke and takes time for the guests. The price is in the 20 euro range. There is great quality and quantity. I would love to come back here... Thanks to Sandra and Marvin? for the nice service.. Been there again today. As usual, good and plentiful. Very nice staff. Despite the full house, extra space was created for my wheelchair. We had to wait in line for 15 minutes, but everything was great.

First-class restaurant with North German charm. You are warmly welcome here as a guest. Super friendly service and great food. We had boiled cod with rice, pork schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce and fried potatoes and pork medallions with fried potatoes and a medium mixed salad. We also had Barre Pils, an extremely good beer that is unfortunately not known in the region we come from (Rhine-Main area). We were all thrilled with the taste and quality of the food, which is why we ate here all three evenings during our weekend trip to Norddeich. Particularly noteworthy here are the lovingly made fried potatoes, which are unique in this form. Conclusion: Norddeich without Starfish wouldn't be the same! Absolute recommendation!

Super friendly staff and very tasty food. They were also very child-friendly, both to us and to the children at the next table. We were there for lunch at lunchtime. The restaurant was well filled. The portions were good for us and we enjoyed the food very much. We can only recommend it.

Highly recommended was very good

Delicious food with friendly and funny service.

Unfortunately I can't upload any photos here!!?? On the recommendation of friends from the Ruhr area, we were here today for the first time (but not the last time). Very friendly staff, large selection of dishes, short waiting time and super tasty!! For us the best fish restaurant in the area with fair prices!

The fish was very good and a normal sized portion is enough to fill you up. Unfortunately the fried potatoes were a bit greasy. The market salad was very fresh and tasty. Everyone was very friendly and you didn't have to wait long for drinks and food.

Very good food, very nice and friendly service and the best crab soup ever

The employees are all very nice and friendly. The food really tasted fantastic. We would love to come back.

Pleasant drinking and eating establishment

Very tasty and very good service

Rarely have I eaten such delicious fish. The fried potatoes are sensational. And I was full from the normal portion.

It's always great to be there*_* We eat our way through the entire menu and haven't been disappointed once! You can choose between 3 portion sizes. We always eat the smallest one and I think it fills you up quite well. On sunny days or at the weekend you should make a reservation because people really queue up in front of the restaurant.

Very good restaurant, great service and great food. 5 stars for everything. And sat outside

The food is to die for. We regularly drive over 100km just to eat there. Keep it up!

Uriges Restaurant, in dem man sehr gut Fisch essen kann. Das Restaurant bietet viele verschiedene Fischgerichte an und auch die Portionsgröße kann individuell gewählt werden. Die Mitarbeitenden sind sehr freundlich und serviceorientiert. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist gut.

The food was great, the service was great, but it was a bit too crowded and loud for us.

Great food, wonderful service. Say thank you!

Great place. Great food. Great portions. With small medium large options great portion variations. Super nice staff. Keep it up.

Waited briefly because there was no table available. Absolutely no problem. Food, service, quality are recommended. Prices absolutely reasonable. Very nice that you can choose the amount according to your hunger. Three sizes to choose from. Top. Would love to come back

Yes, I can only recommend this place

Very tasty food and friendly demeanor of the person

We were in Norddeich in December and January and of course also in Seestern. The food and service is great. We always like to go to the starfish.

Great food with friendly service and a varied menu! You have to do it once when you are in Norddeich!

The place is really great, the food is great and the staff is friendly and always has a smile on their face. It's just a shame that you can't reserve a table. If we're in the area again, we'll be happy to come by again.

Great service. Food top. Can only be recommended.

Ambiance is nice, cozy, the staff could be more attentive and the food was convenience cuisine.

Nice quaint restaurant. Very tasty food. We have been to the Seestern several times and always enjoy coming back... I would also give it 10 stars

Very, very nice and helpful service. The food was delivered very quickly. The medium portion was plenty for us. The food (both had fish) was very good 👍 - everything was great: salad, fish and fried potatoes. Unfortunately no table reservation possible... Still highly recommended! Gladly again.

Recommended many times and I actually found a table without a long wait, even in the off-season.
