UNIKAT Gastro GmbH in Cuxhaven

Fantastic restaurant in Cuxhaven. We've been here twice now and are thrilled with the food and the subsequent lounge time. The staff are competent, friendly, discreet yet attentive... perfect.

Unfortunately, we had to wait a full two hours for our food. 🥺 We were the first guests in the restaurant, and then this happened. Absolutely unacceptable.

Great food and cocktails. Very pleasant atmosphere and ambiance. We'll be happy to come back!!

The burgers were great, as was the service. The fish was deep-fried, which is a shame; pan-fried would have been better. Great atmosphere; we'd love to come back on our next vacation 😉

Pure disappointment... Once again, we gave this unique restaurant a chance, and once again, it was a complete disappointment. We waited over 50 minutes, and when we asked where the food was, we were told there was a kitchen breakdown. The next moment, it was a delay due to a high volume of orders. This unique restaurant wasn't even halfway full. As an apology, they offered us a slice of bread with dip. We canceled our order and were then allowed to go home, hungry once again, with the bill for the four drinks. Why don't we learn from our mistakes after so many years?

Great location, great service, great food, dessert a pure delight.😋 There's also a large smoking room, which is very attractive. Always happy to come back.

For us, this is one of the best value for money in Cuxhaven, compared to the restaurants we've visited.

WOW. Thanks for the great food. Very, very tasty, friendly staff, top location. We'll be back.

The food took too long. We paid for our drinks and left the restaurant 1.5 hours after ordering fries and salad. It's a shame.

Price/performance: 8/10 Taste: 8/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Veggie: 7/10 The three of us spontaneously stopped by here on a Sunday evening and got a table without any problems. The service was friendly and the ambiance was very nice. The food was also very tasty, but I felt something was missing from the overall package (poorly presented, small portions). Vegetarians and vegans will get their money's worth, but with the standard fare. I would have liked something a little more unusual here. You can definitely have a great meal here :)

Great service, delicious food and good atmosphere.

Incredibly delicious food. My husband's meat experience was delicious. His starter, an onion tart, was delicious even though I don't like onions. I tried it once – it was heavenly. My fish curry was very good and hot. The date cake at the end was amazing. We'll definitely be back.

The food was great! The service was snoozing. The atmosphere was fantastic!

Great location, super delicious food, and very friendly staff. We'd love to go back.

Large venue with various side rooms, and I think I even saw a shisha area. Several vegan, very tasty alternatives. Our dog was welcome too. Great!

Super delicious food, great restaurant and very good service!

The restaurant offers a good selection of dishes, and the quality of the food was good. However, we do have a complaint about the fact that we were largely ignored late in the evening, and shortly after 11:00 PM, we were told that it was actually closing time and they were open later than usual. We would have liked to have known earlier and had another drink. It's a bit of a shame, but it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, a disappointment the second time around. We ate here two years ago during our vacation in Cuxhaven. We were drawn to it through the advertisements in the town, and the website was also very appealing and aroused great interest. Our first visit was very disappointing, but after such a long wait, we wanted to give it another try. We had, of course, reserved a table in advance. At the same time, a baby shower was being held in one of the rooms with several guests. So, occupancy was relatively high. Guests who arrived without reservations were immediately told that there would be a long wait (at this point, we had already been waiting for an hour for our food without being informed). In the end, 1.5 hours passed between ordering and receiving our food! We sat at our table with empty drinks for a long time, practically ignored. We fully understand the increased volume and that the kitchen is therefore also at capacity. But if you specifically make a reservation in advance, this enormous wait time and the service are truly unacceptable. Five minutes before the food arrived, we were briefly informed that it would only take another five minutes. This really should have happened much sooner. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn't particularly good either. One of our guests had burnt potatoes that didn't taste good at all (we all tried them and agreed that we'd never eaten such bad potatoes). The Galloway burger was served without onions (although they're listed on the menu). The mustard sauce with the potatoes was very salty. Absolutely not worth the price. After this very long and disappointing stay, we decided against a side dish. So, for us, this restaurant is definitely over.

We were there on August 2, 2025, with 58 people... for our wedding reception... and everyone was thrilled with the food and service... the restaurant manager Emre and his team gave it their all! Everyone had a wonderful evening... and there wasn't a single negative word from any of the guests... everyone was truly more than satisfied! Unfortunately, the live barbecue fell through 🌧🌧🌧 without end... but no one could do anything about that 🤷🤷‍♀️ Thank you to the entire team, it was an unforgettable experience for us... thank you so much... Andrea & Nils

The food was excellent, everything tasted delicious, and the service was friendly even though it wasn't very busy that evening. Perhaps not comparable to other days, but everyone was very nice. The location is top-notch.

Friendly service. Modern ambiance. The food was very good. I recommend the wok-fried vegetables with chicken strips. It's nice to sit and dine for a while. But a little more friendliness and that certain something in the ambiance would have been missing to earn it a full score.

Dear Unikat team, the food, the service and the ambience are very good and we always enjoy coming here.

A must when you are in Cuxhaven.

Addendum after 5 years: We thought we'd give this unique restaurant another chance after a long wait. Unfortunately, our reservation for 9 people from the beginning of the year (for the end of June) was canceled a few days before the scheduled date on the grounds that a private party had now registered and all reservations had to be canceled. Yeah, right, you can make more money that way. That's the end of it, too, for the other restaurants in this "chain." Review from 2020: After I (along with 7 other people) waited a full 1.5 hours for our food (and the restaurant wasn't even full), a rather disappointing, poorly presented dish landed on the table. The fries were cold, the garlic sauce in the jar was already warm and curdled. I pointed this out, but they dismissed it with the explanation that it was due to the sauce being bottled in the early evening, which happens sometimes. At least they apologized, but it's still not acceptable. Last time for me... Sorry, last year at the same time the food was much better quality... Service was nice as usual.

What a lovely restaurant great service and ambience

Excellent service and food, and super friendly. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice and friendly staff! Great food

The food was delicious 😋 Maybe it took a little long.

Yes, good atmosphere, good and friendly service, delicious food.

€28 for a barbecue buffet – and unfortunately, it wasn't worth it. There were only three basic meats, ready-made potato salad, BBQ sauce, and tzatziki. Everything was rather poorly made and cheaply done. The small print stated that this was the only offer, but it was barely noticeable. Disappointing value for money.

Overpriced barbecue buffet, with a selection that is more varied in any allotment garden!

Super netter Service, tolles Ambiente und sehr leckeres Essen und dann noch Happy Hour bei den Cocktails, was will man mehr. Sowohl das Schnitzel mit Spargel und Röstkartoffeln als auch die Grillplatte waren von bester Qualitat. Auch vor kurzem war ich mit 180 Personen da, auch damals hervorragender Service und top Essen.

Super friendly service, a great atmosphere, and delicious food, plus happy hour with cocktails—what more could you want? Both the schnitzel with asparagus and roasted potatoes and the grilled platter were of the highest quality. I was there recently with 180 people, and the service and food were excellent.

Very nice place, the staff was very friendly. The food was very good.

Absolutely recommended. My business partners were as satisfied as I was.

Just been there, very good Antipasta and tapas

Ein für alle Anlässe hervorragendes Restaurant, sehr gute Küche und großartiger Service. Ich bin häufiger hier und wurde noch nie enttäuscht.

Ridiculous, at 3 tables in our group more drinks were recorded than consumed. And half of my mojito was thrown away even though I said I would still drink it. Not recommended

Nice restaurant. The ambience is a mix of modern and old industrial buildings and therefore has a special charm. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.

Priced too expensive... portions too small. Price performance is not right for me for these reasons. Otherwise great atmosphere and easy to reach. Drinks from the neighboring table were booked for me, but that can happen. Still friendly and competent employees.

Das Anbieten ist nett. Wir hatten an Ostern für eine Familienfeier reserviert. Zum Einen gab es nur eine sehr kleine Osterkarte. Vieles war gar nicht bestellbar. Hättean vielleicht sagen können, bei der Buchung. Dann haben wir 20 Minuten auf die Bestellaufnahme gewartet und über 2 Stunden auf's Essen, welches zwar qualitativ gut, aber tw.nur lauwarm war! Auf die Frage, warum es so ultra lange dauert ( hatten auch Kinder dabei) wurde sich mal nicht entschuldigt, sondern nur lapidar gesagt- sie hätten mehrere grosse Gruppen ( aber das weiss man doch vorher?!) Wir müssten mehrfach nach passendem Besteck fragen. Den Nachttisch sollte man rechtzeitig vorbestellen ( haben wir gemacht) und wenn ich nicht nachgefragt hätte, hätte man auch vergessen und mit zu teilen, dass er " aus" war. Alles in Allem ein anstrengender Abend mit überfordertem Personal. Und sorry- für den ersten Eindruck gibt es keine zweite Chance! Nie wieder! Dafür ist es viel zu teuer, um es nochmal zu versemmeln.

Food not so good, music and ambience good, service okay. Waited 1 hour 10 minutes for the food after the whole restoring was empty but otherwise okay overall.

Were there at Easter. The food took 1.5 hours and was partly cold, partly over-seasoned, partly not yet cooked through. All in all, not really nice. In addition, there was only a very small Easter card and unfortunately not everyone found something. We were looking forward to a nice evening but were unfortunately disappointed

It was another great evening at Unikat. This time I enjoyed “full of shrimp”. Was so delicious. And the drinks leave nothing to be desired! Great service: careful, fast and extremely friendly. Thanks to Emre and team for the lovely evening and the #throwback2016 with Emre Spezial and JABU!

We can only recommend the ambience and service. The drinks and food were delivered very quickly. The waiters are super friendly. The food was extremely tasty. We now come back there again and again to eat.

The main courses were tasty, but some were a bit cold. Dessert was forgotten in the kitchen. After 45 minutes we asked what was brought to the table, except for one person's dessert. About 25 minutes later the last dish came to the table cold when we went to pay.

More than good, delicious food, price-performance ratio is good - service is top, what more could you want!

Had a very nice stay. Nice service, although a bit inexperienced, but had a very nice evening. Nice shop

We were here for Valentine's dinner in the motorhome and were allowed to stay overnight. Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere, nice, fast, friendly and above all competent service. The food was of very good quality, beautifully presented and very tasty. We liked it very much, we would like to come back.

It's definitely worth a visit. Great concept and very hardworking staff

Modern elegance meets the historically recognizable charm of the old walls with a perfectly modern kitchen. The service staff are polite, helpful and always on hand. We have been there three times in 6 months and are already looking forward to the next few times.

We were there during the week. Portion of bread (6 small slices of baguette), 5 olives, a large amount of aioli and a bowl of salt = €8.50. Doesn't fit. Unfortunately, the waitress wasn't able to adequately account for the drinks we consumed, so we ended up paying €6 more than we actually consumed. In the end we gave up after she had to ask 3 times and the result was still wrong. Unsatisfactory. The food was otherwise good. Nevertheless, we won't be coming back because no attempt was made to offer the customer a solution, even though the mistake was the restaurant's.

Very tasty food, nice staff and the ambience is bomb.

The first motorhome dinner that Jan Fitter and his team organized for us was a perfect experience! Great food, delicious drinks and a really nice group of people came together there. Nice location in the former fishing station. Jan explained everything with so much attention to detail, it was super informative. A wonderful breakfast in Jan's other location, the storm surge at the ferry port rounded off the weekend.

We took part in the motorhome event. That was a really nice evening. Jan Fitter took us on a nice, informative tour of the old fish station. Afterwards there was a very tasty 2-course menu and at the end we tried the delicious cocktails. There were 6 campers in total and we all had a really nice evening. We'll definitely be back.👍

We were very satisfied. Gladly again. Great menu with great offers. Gladly again.

Great ambience, nice service, only the food is too expensive. I ordered the gnocchis a year ago and today they were nothing. The burger was good but far too small for over €20.

Wir waren mit Freunden zum Silvester Diner im Unikat. Bis auf den Service setzen sechs. Das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis passt überhaupt nicht. Viel Geld nur für billiges Essen und ohne Getränke. Unmöglich. Der Gipfel bestand darin, dass wir zum Anstoßen aufs neue Jahr noch nicht einmal ein Glas Sekt bekamen, sondern es extra kaufen mussten. Diese Lokation ist für eine Silvester Feier nicht zu empfehlen.

Great ambience, great food, great staff

We booked the New Year's Eve menu 2024/2025 and are thrilled. The price is absolutely justified, the staff are very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We'll definitely come back from time to time! A big thank you to the team, a happy new year and for 2025: keep it up!

After consulting by phone, we went there at 9.30 p.m. Apparently tables in the counter area should be free. When we arrived, we were parked in the uncomfortable side room for an hour. Service was so-so. Friendly but bored. It's a shame I know otherwise. DJ plays good music, Dance floor too small to really dance...December 31, 24. Too bad.

Great service and very good food And we had great live music Everything perfect

Very nice atmosphere, wide corridors and a pleasant room climate despite the high room volume. Attentive service, compact menu and harmonious dishes. Price/performance is excellent except for the rump steak. The duck leg and the beef ragout were very tasty.

Ate very tasty Super friendly service Thank you very much

Eat your fill of schnitzel at the Christmas party at Unicat. Unfortunately the schnitzels and vegetables came out of the bag frozen. For 32.- it is much better. Unfortunately not again.

Great ambience, delicious food, very nice service! The portions were perfect for us, not too much and not too little! We will definitely come back on our next vacation!!

Nicht nochmal. Weihnachtsfeier mit Schnitzel satt. Schnitzel TK , Gemüse TK, Kroketten weich 2 Soßen und das für 32,- schnell verdientes Geld

Were here for the first time today and are thrilled! The happy hour cocktails were great, the food came super quickly and the portions were just right. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, which made the evening perfect. We would definitely like to come back!

Wonderful service, fabulous food, individual requests were addressed without hesitation, nothing to complain about 🤌 Vegan versions are super delicious.

The dishes were all good. Timing and presence of the service must be optimized. And if the temperature of a Jever on tap is two times too warm, it is not enough for full points. I exchanged the first Jever and put the ice cubes for the cola in the second one ;-).

We drove from Bremerhaven without a clear destination in mind and, by sheer luck, stumbled upon this incredible place. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. Both of us ordered different variations of the rump steak, and each was cooked to absolute perfection – tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. The chef clearly knows their way around a grill! Dessert was just as impressive, with each dish delivering a delightful end to our meal. We indulged in chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and a refreshing sorbet – all flawlessly crafted and beautifully presented. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, the crème brûlée perfectly creamy with that satisfying crack on top, and the sorbet was light and refreshing. It was a lucky find, but we’re already planning a trip back, knowing it’s worth every kilometer from Bremerhaven.

Very chic atmosphere with an exceptional memory card and very nice staff.

Super cozy and still modern. Great service and very nice employees. The food is varied, selected and fresh!!

Super great restaurant Very nice service, very attentive. Food super tasty

Great ambience, nice service, delicious food and good cocktails. The portions are manageable, unfortunately our men weren't satisfied with the main course.

Went there on a short vacation, went in spontaneously and wow 🤩. Everything wonderful. Highly recommended

Just had something to drink. Service was somewhat okay, but it was also very busy.

Burger was great, fries too. Nice staff and cozy atmosphere.

Very nice location with good food and friendly service. We had ice cream, waffles, coffee and cheese cake for dessert. It was delicious 😊😋😀

Great restaurant, good food, really good cocktails (note happy hour 😉) Had the Galloway Burger with apparently homemade fries. Only the temperature of the food was a bit lukewarm when it was served. Pleasantly unobtrusive but attentive and quick service. The acoustics are okay, but it wasn't very crowded when we visited. Probably relatively loud when the guest room is full. Many and very nice outdoor spaces are also available. We'll definitely come back when we're in town.

Cozy shop with a pleasant atmosphere and a beautiful terrace. Unfortunately, the food is average at best, the schnitzel was disappointing and the pasta with parmesan sauce consisted almost entirely of pasta and hardly any sauce. Other food was tasty, but not great either. The waiters are nice and helpful!

It's really rare for me to hear my parents be so excited about a restaurant. Courteous service, fantastic food and lovely ambience. Worth every penny.

It's a shame that there isn't even a menu on the homepage.👎 We would have liked to eat there, but difficult if you don't know what the concept of the restaurant is. Advertising on Facebook is of no use...

Exceptional great location. Very friendly

A very nice restaurant, good service and food. Of course it's all a matter of taste.

Super tasty and great service 👍👍

Great restaurant, the service was very attentive and the food was sensational

Always great. No matter how often you come here as a guest or, like me, to work, as a DJ or with live music. You will always receive a very friendly welcome. The food is simply top! The cocktails are super good. Emre's team is always on hand. Keep it up👍👍👍

Delicious food and good service

Good morning, The food tasted great and the service was very, very friendly and accommodating. If we are in Cuxhaven again, we will 100% visit the restaurant again.

Great ambience, suitable lounge music. The food and drinks were very tasty and excellent. Service very good. We'd love to come back.

Perfect food, super friendly and the best cuisine!

Very friendly staff, delicious food and very comfortable to sit in, whether outdoors or indoors. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed the currywurst, in a different way, and the unique fish platter. The bacon-wrapped dates on bruschetta with tomato salsa as an aperitif were also excellent. We ended dinner with the warm chocolate cake with the liquid core, a poem! A visit is definitely worth it!

Watched football here last night. The first order went quickly (drinks). After that nothing more, no reaction to my reaction. The tables all around were served and we overlooked. After my wife pulled the waiter's sleeve, we were asked if we could have anything else. I ordered a drink and wanted something to eat. Of course the kitchen was closed and I waited another half hour for my drink. Football or not. But something like that doesn't work. The boss apologized but it was still our last visit here.

Super cozy. Very friendly landlady. Great music.

Great restaurant with an outdoor terrace.

The food and drink is very good here, everyone is friendly. I think it's nice.

Very charming male waitress. Almost too eager, but there wasn't that much going on on our cocktail evening Highly recommended for a few cozy hours near the harbor.

Ate very well. Nice atmosphere and very attentive service
