Strandpieper Norderney in Norderney

Good place otherwise extortionate!!

Now you can only pay by card – hardly anything is going on anymore, half the terrace is empty – I can understand why: the price-performance ratio is completely out of whack – even for "Norderney prices." A Hawaiian pizza with a bottle of Pinot Gris (the combination is a matter of taste) was the daily special for €48. Too expensive for what you get. Plus, the unfriendly, annoyed service staff.

One thing to note: we knew about the exorbitant prices beforehand. So, we could have easily decided not to eat or drink there. But we deliberately ordered something anyway. If I were to rate the food (carpaccio pizza + homemade farmhouse bread with aioli) without considering the value for money, I would give it 3 stars. The regular-sized pizza, for an unbelievable €22.90 (!!), was better than the homemade farmhouse bread, which, quite frankly, tasted as bland as ready-made dough from the refrigerated section. The aioli was also just average. And all that for €8.90! A small shandy wasn't available for less than €4.90 either. At these extraordinary prices, in a not particularly chic beach restaurant, you expect at least exceptionally good food. But that was certainly not the case here. We will return to Norderney many, many times, but due to the disastrous value for money, we will never visit the Strandpieper again. I really don't mean any harm, and others may feel differently. But I've rarely received so little for so much money.

Everything was great, thank you

Way too expensive and bad service!

Oat milk costs 60 cents extra… long time no see!

Very cozy and very friendly service. Dogs are more than welcome; they even provide pillows.

After a long walk, we visited for the first (and probably last) time. Prices are simply exorbitant: €7.50 for a bottled wheat beer! The value for money isn't right, and the location isn't particularly good either; it overlooks the parking lot. A glance at the menu put us off our appetite. For example, they're asking €9.90 for 20 French fries, which is completely ridiculous.

Thanks to our amazing waiter Siggi! We had a fantastic time! The ten girls from the Ruhr area 🫶

We visited the Strandpieper and were completely impressed. The location is beautifully situated and has just the right blend of style and comfort. We had the goat cheese and the carpaccio – both were truly delicious. We were particularly impressed by the relaxed music mix and the attentive, friendly service. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back!

Super delicious, totally attentive staff

Norderney is expensive. But this is outrageous. Currywurst 20 euros, fries 10 euros. The prices aren't written in numbers, but rather in words. It's kind of clever, so you don't immediately notice how incredibly expensive everything is. Best to hop on the bus and drive away.

We ordered fish and chips today, looking forward to a delicious portion of fried fish. What arrived, however, were large portions of fries with a homeopathic amount of fried fish. Five tiny pieces of fried fish were draped around the fries, estimated at maybe 75g. But for €23.90 😳, it's completely overpriced... It should really be called chips with a side of fried fish, which would be more accurate. Half a beer for €4.90 is also pretty steep...

The Strandpieper is always a highlight! A fantastic location – stylish, cozy, and inviting. The food is exquisite and prepared with great attention to detail – every dish is a delight! The service is attentive and friendly. For us, it's a must on every visit to Norderney. Absolutely recommended!

Unfortunately, the staff was overwhelmed and unfriendly. It took a long time to order and pay. Like other guests, we should have gotten up and left. There was no feel-good factor, and the value for money was far from right.

A wonderful place to stop. The service was very attentive and friendly. Dogs are welcome. We only had a small snack. We really liked the selection of snacks (especially something "different"). The food was excellent and very attractively presented. The small lounge area for chilling was extremely cool and cozy. A clear recommendation! We'd be happy to come back.

I ordered the Thai curry today. Unfortunately, it was completely tasteless. It also had green asparagus, which I don't like. Even with salt, this meal was unfortunately tasteless. The service was generally attentive, but unfortunately, it didn't do justice to the guests. The tables weren't wiped down in between meals, and unfortunately, it was very dirty. For 19 euros, the food is rather meager and simply tasteless.

We were completely impressed by the Strandpieper Norderney! The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed – you feel welcome from the very first moment. We especially appreciated the playground being right next door – ideal for families with children who want to let off steam while parents can enjoy themselves in peace. A big compliment also to the team: Everyone was incredibly helpful and accommodated special requests. This kind of service is no longer a given these days! We'll definitely be back.

Tastes differ! Yes, but an undercooked roll simply doesn't taste good. A pizza made entirely of dough without any topping isn't tasty! Mayonnaise instead of ajíli is simply not nice! We had reserved a table five days before our visit and sat in the corner facing the heater. When we asked to change, we were told we should have come earlier or please sit outside (15 degrees and rainy). Paid full price. The boss served us with sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a very unusual gold chain. Tastes differ. This sentence was thrown at me several times today, but 1 euro is 1 euro and we had to pay the full price. Sorry, not again.

No, not recommended. We were on our bikes and wanted to stop for a quick bite. I can't comment on the food or drinks; we didn't get anything. The prices are very high: plum cake for almost 10 euros, a portion of fries for 9.90 euros. Prices aren't written out in numbers, but rather in full (e.g., 9 euros ninety). A rascal would think otherwise. The table next to us was unlucky; they were served, but first received their coffee, and the cake was forgotten. After waiting for almost half an hour, and the poor, overwhelmed waiter didn't even have time to take our order, we left the place and cycled somewhere else.

The food was good (€18.50 for a pizza). €7.50 for a 0.5l bottle of wheat beer and €4.90 for a 0.3l is definitely too much. The view wasn't of the sea, but of the parking lot. We're on the island for another week. We won't be coming back.

We were at the end of the island and, after what felt like 100 km, we were finally able to find our way back to civilization. The walk along Oasis Beach was fantastic. The Strandpieper was just the right place for a break. Excellent food, extremely friendly service, and the atmosphere was simply lovely and relaxed. Thank you very much, and see you soon!

A nice, but probably always pretty crowded, restaurant right on the vast sandy beach. We had beer and currywurst. If the price isn't too high for you, this is definitely recommended. The service was prompt despite the full house. However, one star is deducted for the almost outrageous prices.

5 stars – A true highlight on Norderney! We ate at the Strandpieper and were absolutely thrilled! The location right on the beach is fantastic, perfect for a long, relaxing visit. What's especially nice is that children are not just tolerated here, but warmly welcomed – you can immediately tell by the friendly atmosphere and the little touches for the little ones. The service was consistently attentive, quick, and incredibly warm. You just feel at home. We'll definitely be back!

The website doesn't reflect reality. The outdoor terrace was quite nice, the interior was poorly decorated, and the restrooms were very unkempt. The menu was poorly decorated and worn. The food arrived on time and was nicely presented. The taste was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, when we paid, we didn't receive the correct bill. The waiter simply held a card reader in our faces and said, "There must have been some confusion between the reservation and another table." When we asked for the bill, we weren't given the correct bill. Furthermore, the waiter was reluctant to hand over the receipt with a rude comment. It was unbelievable... And we also noticed that we weren't the only table that had to argue about a bill. We definitely won't be back!

Absolutely not recommended... Totally overpriced, average dishes in a dingy atmosphere, and unfriendly staff when it comes to issuing a correct bill. It's all a bit odd...

Thanks to their monopoly position, they can probably afford these prices. It looked nice outside, but pretty shabby inside. Payment is cashless only. But: first they pull out their card and then get rude when you ask for the bill. It was completely wrong. Even the debit receipt was only given reluctantly. We witnessed a similar situation at the next table. So check your bill.

Ridiculously high prices, making the food nowhere near worth it. The decor was functional but anything but clean. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. The restrooms weren't clean either, and it smelled strongly. The staff seemed friendly at first, but when we finally received a very unclear and incorrect "bill" and they didn't even want to give us a receipt, the waiter became very rude. I wouldn't go back even if they halved the prices.

Leider ganz schön überteuert! 7,50€ für ein 0,5l Bier! Logistik hin oder her! Ansonsten nette Bedienung, aber die Preise sind gepfeffert hoch!

Yes, very nicely located, very expensive in terms of price, fries 9.00 euros... but they were delicious 😋 . Waiters were very friendly.

After a long walk on the beach, we were very happy about a stop at the Oase bus stop. The service person was at the table quickly but seemed a bit annoyed that we needed some time to choose from the menu. After the second time he asked, he simply stopped coming; a friendlier colleague stepped in to answer his questions. Ok, it can happen! We only ordered a small thing (baked goat cheese quiche with a side salad) from the starters. What arrived on the plate was anything but a dish from a top gastronomy. The quiche was a hard piece of dough with a goat cheese on top. Some arugula salad (not dressed) and some balsamic vinegar, that's it! A water and a non-alcoholic wheat for a whopping €30.!! This is simply exaggerated even on an island!! Too bad! Luckily, there are also good restaurants on Norderney where you are happy to spend a little more for excellent food! Definitely not here anymore!

Mediocre food and criminally overpriced. You take a price from a small restaurant in East Frisia and triple it. Service was a bit aggressive verbally. In everything sweet, almonds are just a warning.

I only had a drink so no review for the food. The prices seem too high even for Norderney standards. The terrace is beautiful as is the location. The service that day was hectic, overwhelmed and not friendly.

Es ist unverhältnismäßig teuer! Eine Flasche Hefeweizen alkoholfrei kostet 7,50€. Ein Stück Apfelkuchen mit einer Minikugel Vanilleeis 10,90€! Schade, früher hat es uns hier immer so gut gefallen!

Given the prices, it's no wonder that holidaymakers are sitting on the benches everywhere with drinks they've brought with them.

Beautiful and beautifully located location, “first” nice service. In my opinion the prices are completely excessive, so no rating for “food”.

Unfortunately they were disappointing. We have had the surprise menu several times and were very satisfied. Yesterday a loveless standard awaited us, without any inspiration. Too bad. What are the empty drinks crates in the guest room?

The rhubarb and strawberry cake is super delicious, juicy, soft and warm. Great. The prices are quite high.

In my opinion, with the most expensive Aperol on the island (€10.50). Although there were only about 10 guests in the restaurant, we were consistently ignored and, after about 20 minutes, ordered at the counter ourselves. Twice and really annoying! The vegetables in the curry were too overcooked for me and the sauce was very thin and little. The prawns were delicious - the price: €29.90 was not appropriate.

Great restaurant, we even enjoyed the surprise menu. Simply great, plus the perfect and always friendly and courteous service. Went there every day during our vacation, an absolute must and a great end to our tours. Just stay classy 👍

After what felt like an eternity we were finally served. (Other customers left during our stay because they were not served.) Drinks and fries were very tasty. Ambience could be nicer. In our opinion, prices are a bit too high, but this is certainly due to the fact that there are no alternatives in the area. Conclusion: Can, but doesn't have to. 😜

Chic, modern restaurant with a great ambience in an exposed location. The food and drinks are tasty, but not exceptional either. The prices, on the other hand, are hefty, so that the price-performance ratio is questionable (even considering the island surcharge). The service is divided: partly very friendly, partly rather ignorant: I went to the counter to order drinks twice myself (with what felt like 20 guests in the entire restaurant); The starter and dessert came too quickly one after the other.

I can only recommend Baba Laden

Eigentlich alles super - sehr aufmerksame Bedienung, kurze Wartezeiten, Essen schmeckte auch, aber ab einem bestimmten Punkt ist es dann echt too much. Wenn man für eine Flasche Wasser mehr bezahlt als im Sternerestaurant von Nelson Müller und ein sehr kleines Stück Kuchen acht Euro kostet, dann ist das echt nichts wo wir noch einmal hingehen werden…

I paid 18 euros for a cheap frozen pizza from the supermarket (€2.49) that was charred in the oven. Plus a 0.2 liter cola for 5.40 euros – not even the original. What remained was a disappointing taste experience and the realization that even the worst product can be sold with the right marketing. My recommendation - avoid and go hungry - rip off

Unfortunately not a single sugar-free drink other than water or tea. Too bad.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The somewhat thin Frisian tea is served with "normal" sugar and without cream or milk (I really expected more). The milk coffee, however, was very good. One question remained unanswered: what is Norderneyer tap water for 5 euros? Sounds like “turn on the faucet and you’re done”……

Just had something to drink. The waiter was very friendly despite the stress. Prices are too high.

The Sand Pipit does not have anything directly to do with the beach as some photos suggest. It is well protected behind the dike on the northern beach of Norderney, right next to a large parking lot and at the turning loop for bus lines 4 and 8. From the lighthouse there is a beautiful path through the dune landscape, about 10-15 minutes' walk. We didn't try the restaurants but walked from here directly on the beach towards the city. Fantastic way to slow down.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and delicious cakes, that's true, but the prices are exorbitant. Just under €14 for a latte and plum cake with cream...I won't treat myself to that again...sorry

Unfortunately, a lot of potential is left behind. Service only moderately committed, food ok, prices high (especially for the service and the food). There is still room for improvement.

Almost 30 euros for two pieces of cake, a coffee and a wine spritzer is far too expensive. But the cake was ok, although we had the feeling that it was frozen goods.

Great food, beautiful concerts, wonderful atmosphere and atmosphere at the concerts

The outdoor area is very nice. Also nice with children

The ambience is very nice and the service was also friendly and quick. The fish rolls were OK, but not great in terms of taste, so we didn't think the price was justified.

Great location, but they know this and therefore the prices are juicy. Aperol Spritz: EUR 10.80, Currywurst with fries: EUR 18.50 (!). Nevertheless, you can chill out wonderfully protected from the wind. We'll be back!

Nur 2 Tisch am Abend belegt. Das Essen war in Ordnung. Beim Geflügel löste sich das Fleisch allerdings fast nicht vom Knochen, das Rindfleisch hatte einen sehr breiten Fettrand. Nach dem Essen wurde einem der Teller fast unter der Gabel weggeräumt und das Restaurant gesäubert. Da fühlte man sich als Gast nicht willkommen sondern eher als Störenfried. Aus Sicht des Personals vielleicht verständlich, aber dann sollte man kein Restaurant aufmachen sondern einfach nur eine Pommesbude. Auf jeden Fall passt so ein Verhalten nicht zu dem Preisniveau. Nächstes Mal sind wir woanders.

Even if the food is really good, the service and treatment of guests and non-guests is subpar. After a hike to the wreck on the It is not possible to take anything with you on the way back (a fish sandwich or a drink). That in itself is ok. BUT - something like this can also be made understandable to those who ask questions in a friendly manner. However, after a rude answer from the service staff, you are rudely asked to go outside. So the decision was made for us to sit down for a quick drink if necessary. Other guests then told us outside that they had to wait a long time for service and that it was also unfriendly. An older lady was literally scolded after asking for a drink to take away. So - even if the food appears to be good and was attractively presented - for us the way we treat it makes at least as much difference. That's why we would like to give -1 star if this were possible. The ambience is ok. Catastrophic for the only way to get food and drink in the extreme east of the island. Maybe you should just set up two machines there. ;)

Essen - Menu war gut, allerdings zu viel. Vorspeise war sehr gut. Hauptgang ging so. Nachspeise war okay. Letztlich fehlte der letzte Kniff für ein sehr gutes Essen. Der angebotene Wein war sehr gut und der Service sehr freundlich. Allerdings hatten wir als letzte Gäste (um 1915 nach dem Essen ab 1750) das Gefühl zu stören.

I'm sorry but it's just a rip off. Oasis was still ok. But now, no thanks.

Very nice stopover for the bike tour.

The place is a mess...! Don't let a mother change diapers with a 5-month-old child because nothing was ordered. Then you had to do it in the parking lot.

Had a coffee there...very nice staff, nice location

Delicious food at a great price.

Soooo friends.... The Sand Pipit Norderney is a little insider tip for me.... when I saw what I got for my money from others in the last two weeks, then I really enjoyed spending my money here today. For me the salad is the best on the island. Fresh different types of lettuce, small, tasty tomatoes, great dressing... The cake...hamma, homemade... The service. Great, keep it up. All in all, A+

The cake and café were delicious, but at over €24.00 for 2 cakes and 2 cafés it was pretty steep!!

The praises for the sherry matjes from another review lured us to the Sandpipit, but we stayed and came back for the fries with truffle mayo - simply awesome! Plus the relaxed, summery beach atmosphere, a Sarti Spritz and super nice service. Here you can really endure it and enjoy the sweet life. We'll definitely be back!

Actually a nice shop, great terrace. Nice recipes, but didn't eat anything. What doesn't work is the prices. For example, 0.5 liters of wheat beer costs 7.50 euros! Accordingly, everything else costs around 30-50% too much, even for Norderney. Everywhere on the island the people are very friendly, but not here, rather listless.

As every time you visit there, you have to say that the food tastes good and the quality of the products is convincing. At this point, you are happy to pay a little more. As always, everything was good and I would be happy to come back, so far everything has always been satisfactory. Friendly, attentive staff and owner. Kind regards from Hamburg 🌻

Lange nicht mehr so gut gegessen. Sehr schönes Ambiente und sehr sehr nette Bedienung. Wir kommen wieder.

Protected from the wind, delicious fish sandwiches and ginger-mint tea

Attentive, friendly service, beautiful location and super delicious food. Not cheap, but worth the price for the quality. Good alternative to the White Dune. To avoid hunger after the long journey to the oasis: The kitchen is only open until 8 p.m. in the evening! Reservations are recommended in the evening. We were super satisfied and will definitely come back.

After a bike tour across the island, we wanted to take a short break at Sandpipit at lunchtime and have something to eat there. Of course, prices are higher almost everywhere on the island, but here it spoiled our appetite for fries.

Tolles Personal. Essen Katastrophe. Essen war nicht frisch und keinen Stern wert! Aussage vom Personal: essen ist Geschmacksache - der Chef ist ein Sternekoch. Frag mich nur auf auf welcher Galaxy. Fazit: Keine Empfehlung!

Very nice atmosphere but the male waiter was terrible. That's how you spoil your entire stay - compliments.

We really liked it at Strandieper. The food was excellent and the service was super friendly and funny :) What's also really cool is that there are dog beds available for free use and an employee even gave my dog ​​water. Thank you very much!

Delicious pot roast, served a little quickly.

2 times fries, 2 beers and 2 cokes together about 50€ On the mainland I would have called the police and filed a complaint about usury!

Actually, a review on my part here is a bit overkill, because I had exactly one fish roll and one hefeweizen. So I can't say anything about the "big" food here. But: this fish sandwich belongs in the Guinness Book of Records! The roll itself is nothing fancy, a simple baked grain roll. This could perhaps be made a little more original, but even that is completely pushed into the background because: the matjes! Every bite is a pleasure without limits! What an aroma! It almost seems a little Christmassy, ​​but it's just great! Whoever had this brilliant idea of ​​putting the herring in sherry simply deserves a Nobel Prize. Or the Pulitzer. An Olympic gold medal from me too. In my humble opinion, this was by far the best fish sandwich on the island so far! And as a fish lover, I've tried a lot here too. Apart from this, albeit rather small, culinary crown jewel, the rest also looks great! The location? Shortly behind the beach, at the inner end of the dunes, directly at the parking lot (easily accessible by bike, car but also on foot if you don't mind walking a few kilometers), it couldn't be better. When the weather is nice there is plenty of space outside, otherwise inside is also good. The service? Friendly, funny, fast. Couldn't be any better. Paying in cash or by card, even digitally, is all possible. That too is perfect. The food? Well, I don't know, but if everything else is even half as ingenious and creative as the Sherry-Matjes, then this shop is a real gem. I think it's worth trying!

Freundliche, zuvorkommende und aufgestellte Bedienung empfängt einem abseits von grossen Menschenmassen in einem ruhigen und gepflegten Ambiente. Das Essen war aussergewöhnlich köstlich, mit frischen Zutaten und Liebe zubereitet und angerichtet. Das Überraschungsmenu war der Hit. Man kann bei Vor und Hauptspeise entscheiden ob man Fisch, Fleisch, vegetarisch oder vegan möchte. Das Dessert war sehr köstlich ob Creme Brulée oder Schokoladenmaleur! Grossartig.

Great location! We only drank an Aperol, the best thing is the ambience.

Great location, not crowded. Good cuisine, but everything is very expensive. Nice service.

Great restaurant, but unfortunately the price is a bit too high.

The food is delicious and it's very comfortable to sit here, but the prices are very high.

Hello everyone, the one star in the food is not the taste but the quantity and the price. Currywurst fries with two sauces for over €20!!! I'm wondering who else should allow themselves to do that and the currywurst in the glass was super tasty but there were a maximum of 9 small pieces in it. We had a shandy from the bottle, a non-alcoholic wheat and a portion of currywurst fries for €33.50...

Good food, delicious beer. The prices are absolutely exaggerated, two examples: €7.50 for a wheat dish and €10 for fries with wasabi mayonnaise. Even the White Dune is cheaper and the food is also a little better

Unfortunately not so much vegetarian and lactose-free

Wir haben uns sehr auf den Abend gefreut, den wir mit Ankündigung eines 3-Gängememüs reserviert hatten. Wir wurden nett empfangen, unsere Bestellung aufgenommen und der Wein gut präsentiert. Leider waren die Absprachen im Team nicht gut und das Personal teilweise schlecht organisiert. So wurden wir nach unserer Bestellung von einem anderen Kellner nochmal gefragt ob wir bestellen wollen, bei der Vorspeise kamen 3 verschiedene Kellner vorbei und fragten ob wir zufrieden wären. Dadurch kam sehr viel Unruhe an den Tisch und Gespräche wurden unterbrochen. Während des Hauptgangs hingegen war es dann sehr schwer eine Bedienung für etwas Salz zu bekommen. Insgesamt hat uns der Abend jedoch gut gefallen. Eine kleine Schulung täte den Bedienungen allerdings gut.

Hoch im Norden - sinngemäß gilt das auch für die Preise, wenngleich die Lokation weit im Osten der Insel liegt. Das Personal kam nicht in die Hufe, sehr unaufmerksam, zigmal am Tisch vorbeigelaufen. Keine Gästeorientierung. Preis-Leistung außerirdisch. Lokation sehr schön, inzwischen viele Schattenplätze, aber ansonsten nichts, was reizt. Fazit: einfach weitergehen, nicht einkehren

Der Strandpieper war für mich DIE Adresse für ein hocheertiges veganes Speisenangebot auf Norderney. Entsprechend auch unsere Bereitschaft, eine recht weite Anfahrtstrecke in Kauf zu nehmen. Und auf einmal ist das Angebot nicht mehr vorhanden. Vereinfacht formuliert blieb nur noch Pommes mit Ketchup und Tomatensuppe. Das macht den Laden leider nicht mehr empfehlenswert. Sehr Schade. Ein abendlicher Besuch war regelmäßig ein kulinarischer Höhepunkt unseres Aufenthaltes auf der Insel. Doch unter den gegebenen Umständen ist der Laden gestorben, was ich sehr bedaure.

We came here for a break during our bike tour. The service was great. Friendly and up for a joke. We were only here for coffee and cake, but next time it will definitely be more. The cake was great.

Expensive. A coffee and a coke for €10. But if you need a break and don't have anything with you, you're happy to pay.

So far everything is good. Food could have been spicier. For the curry, please note that it is topped with coriander. You either like it or you don't like it at all. I can be found in the second faction and would have unsubscribed from it. Otherwise everyone was very friendly. Great ambience.

We were there today for cappuccino and cake, blueberry cake. It was outrageous to serve a piece of cake that was definitely thawed for 10.50 euros. It was totally muddy and not enjoyable. Certainly our first and last visit there. The staff was friendly.

Wednesdays are a day of rest. Otherwise there is always something going on here. The Bimmel Bahn stops here. There is a kiosk with some seats on the beach. All the people are very friendly from the lifeguard to the waitress.

Beautiful but extremely expensive!

The location is beautiful and the service is very good. The food was also very tasty. I would have liked to drink a decaffeinated coffee. Unfortunately that didn't exist. The restaurant is also very nice, but the terrace is a bit dull. Mine for 5 Stars a few details missing.

Not the cheapest restaurant on Norderney but the quality of the food is great.

We stopped here after a long bike ride. Service very friendly and attentive. As a starter we had rolls with aioli which was very good. Afterwards a currywurst with Belgian fries was beautifully prepared and also very tasty. Plus a wonderful ambience. Prices, regardless of drinks or food, are very high.

Waren in diesem Urlaub zwei mal im Strandpieper. Wenn schon überdurchschnittlichliche Preise, dann bitte auch überdurchschnittliche Atmosphäre und überdurchschnittlicher Service. Beides Leider Fehlanzeige. Ein ganz normales Strandrestaurant mit zuwenig Schattenplätzen für sehr sonnige und warme Tage. Man lebt halt von der Lage, aber längst ist die Oase kein Gästemagnet mehr.
