Hier verbrachten wir einen Abend mit sehr gutem Essen und Getränken. Der Service ist sehr gut, die Einrichtung ist maritim und gemütlich mit Flair. Nach dem Bestellen wurden die Getränke, der Salat und auch unsere Hauptspeise schnell serviert. Dort werden wir uns sicherlich mal wieder einfinden.
6. Kiosk am Fliegerdeich

This place is good for a quick lunch. Fish is tasty as well as the fries. You can eat it dry around the corner. A good stop on a walk along the dike. For family, colleagues and friends! Fit for the money.

Recommended and booked by our friendly hotel host this is not a place a casual tourist would stumble upon by accident. In the old and little used inner harbour area, right on the water, Bluehendeschiffahrt is a traditionally presented restaurant. The menu is dominated by fish dishes and these were favoured by my friends. I found that the rump steak was amongst the best I have ever had served. Most of the dishes come with re-fried potatoes (saute style) ample in quantity and quality. There is a choice of locally brewed beers and good German wine to be had here too.The very friendly and competent hostess spoke little English, accepted our efforts at German with good grace and all went to plan! We walked from town in about 20 minutes along a rather derelict but tidy disused quayside beside an overgrown railway line, unbothered by any road traffic. There is road access to the restaurant and some parking on site.Prices are really reasonable and you will not do better in Wilhelmshaven.

Spending the week in windswept Wilhelmshaven has been an interesting adventure. The cuisine here is so different from Southern Germany. Fish, fish, everywhere! My mother and I celebrated her birthday at the An Bord this week and I have to say that it was quite good! The outside of the building is welcoming, with the menu posted outside the door. Inside the bar that is situated in the middle of the room is in the shape of a ship's bow, complete with the ornamental topless woman. The entire restaurant is decorated tastefully in an understated nautical theme. The menu was large but not overwhelming. We decided to start the evening with an appetizer to share. We chose the shrimp in garlic butter. Before the appetizer was served, we were brought a small "welcome" from the kitchen. Not being a food critic, I am not sure what the "proper" name of the dish would be called...but it had the consistency of panna cotta, but was made with Kohlrabi (German turnip) and had a small dollop of chili sauce on top. It was quite flavorful and we both enjoyed it. We were then served our shrimp skewers. Although we were splitting an appetizer, the kitchen tastefully put one skewer and a small salad on two seperate plates for us. The shrimp and garlic butter were great, not overcooked, and had a nice flavor. The salad was crisp and the DRESSING was fantastic! We then ordered the Fish Platter for two. It was enormous! We were served four different types of fish (Zander, Salmon, Rotbarsch, and sadly I cannot remember the last) along with 4 large prawns and two miniature lobsters. Along with this was a medley of steamed vegetables and fried potatoes. There were three sauces that came with the platter for the fish (and veggies too, I suppose!) which were a Mustard Dill sauce, a Hollandaise sauce, and then a red sauce (which resembled a ketchup mayo mix). I liked everything except the red dipping sauce. It was really just bland and had no particular flavor. I think if they put a dash of chili sauce in it, it would be great! For dessert I had the Creme Brulee, which had been prepared ahead of time and tasted fine. The price for our entire meal, including 3 beers, 1 house wine (a Merlot that tasted fine), a Mineral Water, and a Cuppucino came to 64 Euro. This is a great restaurant for the town of Wilhelmshaven. I really enjoyed myself and liked the food!

The restaurant is located far (approx. 4km) from the center of town, but in the midst of beuatiful locks and harbors. From the outside terrace and the cosy dining room guests enjoy a magnificent view of the old port and a cast iron bridge. The menu is tradional with obviously a lot of choice in seafood. The quality of the ingredients and preparation of the food is good. Nevertheless, we got somewhat disappointed with the dish with coquilles st jacques. It is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. As the accompanying shrimp were missing in the kitchen at the end of the day (can sometimes happen), this loss in the dish would be 'compensated' with extra scallops. But even under these special circumstances, the kitchen produced a dish with no more than four coquilles st jacques!

We sat outside and had drinks and snacks. Even with a chill in the air, the ambiance was wonderful. The location is right next to the sea and the view makes a great setting for visiting and relaxation. I cannot say how the interior was.

Directly opposite the Columbia hotel this unassuming little pub was great with good robust food, charming service and an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The food was great (Schnitzel & seafood) and pre-empted with a "freebie" mixed salad which was delicious. It seemed to cater for locals which is always a good sign. If you're looking for something a little more real than eating in a hotel restaurant, this great little place immediately opposite is perfect. And dogs are welcome!
