Seesteg

It is a real stroke of luck that Markus Kebschull, a native of Baden-Württemberg, has set up shop in the far north of Germany. Previously stationed at Cuxhaven's Sterneck, he has been head chef here since 2012. This restaurant is housed in a small boutique hotel of the same name just a stone's throw from the sea on the beautiful island of Norderney. Based on classical foundations, his style of cooking also incorporates the odd modern twist. Top-notch ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, go into flavoursome dishes such as Helgoland lobster bisque, spring roll, melon. There are two set menus (one of them vegetarian), as well as a small à la carte selection of classics. The interior is welcoming and stylish with its open kitchen and delightful views of the North Sea. Tip: Head for the seaside terrace!
