"General: In 2013 I was very positive about the Hemingway at RK times, which unfortunately closed its doors in 2015 and a successor had not yet found himself for this small but attractive restaurant. Now we were pleased that the Al Dente has returned to life. Now there is no shortage for Italians on Norderney, but as my sister-in-law says, “Italian always goes” and so, after our observation, all Italians grow up. Most are more pizzerias. The Al Dente has dedicated itself to the slightly elevated kitchen beyond the pizza. It is guided by the apart Joana, a Polin. On Thursday evening the small restaurant filled very quickly so that a reservation is strongly advised. The audience expects tourist and adult, although there is a small children's card. Pizza abstinence may scare families with children. We have eaten exceptionally tasty and besides the yet to discuss Da Sergio, the Al Dente is a first address for more demanding Italian cuisine and a return is highly recommended. The price level slightly raised, but appropriate for the bid, certainly always considering the Norderney supplement, i.e. solid four stars in the rating. (The real estate prices are now dizzying and, following this, the pastures for restaurants are also screwing up, as our taxi driver knew to report. [here link] shows the menu without prices and the wine card with prices. Service: Two women play the restaurant in ackurate white blouses. Chef Joana and her charming waitress Valentina, who can wear a apron. She's Sardin. The former chef also came from there, which explains the Sardinian map and, in particular, the selection of wines. Meanwhile, there's an apule on the stove. All drinks are quickly brought to the table and finally the Prosecco and the white house wine were served cold. The food sequence has also been very pleasantly clocked and, finally, Joana has given us another grappa, which is unusually generous for Northerneyer relations – Greeks. The dishes outside the map on the slate boards are brav and my desire for a pastel intercourse in reduced portion size is happy to be fulfilled. All in all a very sympathetic care and for that I like to get out four stars. The beverage prices are medium: Bitburger 0.2 l see on the map at €2.20, the bottle of water 0.75 l with proud €6.80 and the good white house wine 0.2 l was charged with €5.50. In addition to the sophisticated wine card (see homepage there is an extra wine card with five white and six red wines in the moderate range from 19,90 to 23,90 € for the bottle. Meat: The card without pizza, but otherwise very diverse: eight antipasti from Bruschetta (6.90 € to swordfish carpaccio (16.90 € , seven noodle dishes with and without meat (11.90 to 16.90 € , seven dishes from the sea (Thunfisch, Swordfish, Salmon, Dorade, Wolfsbarsch, Scallops, 19,90 to 29,90 € and from pasture But first, hot pizza rolls with a peel of tuna sauce from Vitello tonato. Delicious. Then Antipasto della Casa (15,90 € and Gamberoni della Casa (15,90 €). The antipasti consisted of grilled eggplant and zucchini slices, inlaid green olives, artichokes, paprika strips, Vitello tonnato, Bruschetta and abundant ham and salami slices. All well edible and generously portioned. But winners were the Gamberoni in a fruity tomato sauce with plenty of cocktail tomatoes and pine nuts. Both appetizers are visually appealingly dressed on square plates, as the photos might well prove. On the map I had discovered Linguine Alla Puttanesca (Linguine with olives, capers and anchovies in tomato sauce and I cannot resist the trio of olives, capers and anchovies. Since a pasta dish as the main food cannot meet my Gourmand claim, I chose the variant of the intermediate course and I was rewarded for 7.00 € with a wonderful pasta, actually anchovy and olives in a thick tomato sauce that almost completely covered the noodles. So far, the good salt and pepper mills had not to be tried from the table. Next, Tagliatelle Anatra e porcini (Tagliatelle with duck breast and stone mushrooms, €16.90 and Filetto Di Spada Alla Mediterranea (250 g swordfish in Mediterranean sauce, €22.90). As a supplement, I had chosen Pommes (alternatively, rosemary salads or a small salad were offered. The swordfish was roared, which may cause a nasal hull with friends of the “glassy” fish. It was a good thing for me, because this cooking condition fits the tomato and sauce base of the court. With the size of the fish steak and the pommes there was also a proper portion. With lush meat and mushrooms, the tagliatelles of my constant companion were also served, which were also well seasoned and therefore tasty. On request, a cover glass with coarse parmesan planing was brought. In toto, the Al Dente kitchen works handmade very carefully and brings strong flavors to the plates, strongly on tomato basis. It just tasted good and is worth 4.5 stars. Ambience: The restaurant is housed in a corner house and on the left of the entrance is the open air area with some tables and well furnished by the Trottoir. The restaurant itself is arranged at right angles. A row of tables on the right and left line the way through the buckling room to the toilets. The tables are very different: round tables in the corners, on a pedestal on the right rear and otherwise still acceptable large two tables. The tables are made of dark wood and bare to a set. It is served on leather cushions, sometimes dark, sometimes red as a bench on the walls. Color also brings a red wall right from the entrance. Otherwise, the walls are kept bright and serve as decoration the elongated wall lights with forging irons and pointed lampshade and the slate boards with additional offers. If you want to sit a bit cuddly, you should ask yourself a table opposite the counter on the podium. The routes are all right. The music sounding brings Italian hits into the ear. Cleanliness: Everything very well maintained and the toilets without complaint."

"Today it is supposed to be the first and only restaurant on the East Frisian islands blessed with the ordinations of a French tyre manufacturer's tourist department. The reservation already intended for the previous day failed because it was simply already booked a good sign. For today, however, there was enough space and friendly distance, the reception of the Hotel Restaurants Seesteg confirmed our concern. Housed in the historical, kernel-sanierte building (seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-the-seat-seat-the-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-s-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-the-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-the-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat-seat- We felt comfortable right now. The greeting was quite friendly and we had the choice between inside or on the terrace (for midday or as long as it is still bright, certainly the first choice because of the ingenious location). As it was already clear to us that it will be a longer evening, we chose a table in the interior. Beautiful, dark wooden tables, many of them equipped with guéridon on rollers, with surprisingly comfortable, medium-brown wooden chairs with curved backrest and armrest. The padded leather seat area also allows longer stays. The tables themselves only partially covered, but then very appealing simply with bright linen sets, napkins on table plates, salt and pepper mills (Peugeot), wind light, each one rose blossom, wine and water glasses, bread plates and solid silver tool for three courses. Missing cutlery parts have been refilled with white fabric gloves after ordering. Rightly fast there were baguette and whole grains of nut bread and butter and the mandatory, still water (0.7 L à 7, Euronen). The amuse gueule, creamy beef tar with perfectly ripe avocado, croûtons and Shiso Purple was also quickly served, a short but tasty pleasure. Already at the first time, a dialogue was established which should be repeated in an absolutely identical form during the evening (based on the answers and emphasis of the waitress). This is only funny with Louis de Funès, in communication with guests it throws an exposed light on setting the service. Example: Including the glass of Madame Mme: “Thank you very much.” Serv: “Seeehr, seeehr gaeerne!” Then my glass will be covered with Moi: “Thank you.” Serv: “I DANKE Iihhnen!” The statements made by the service actor in such an exaggerated modulation that one wants to get rid of at the first moment, but what then remains in the neck because one has to find out when looking into the face of the waitress: Sch , who thinks this seriously. As mentioned above, however, as a single case tolerable in identical repetition during each after-shot, creepy. The further interaction with the service was largely normal. The desired exchange of, with regard to Madame, allergen-moist mussels against Asian mackerel was possible without any problems and so we were looking forward to 88, Euronen per person on these five courses: Climbing mussel with garden pebbles, melon and chorizo A great start, finally beautiful large specimens, really crusty sweet musculoskeletal with strongly nutty red staromatics without any Magnificently accompanied by strong pea stomp, intense melonnessence, accented by slightly smokey chorizobrösel and mild hoodine raisin. North Sea Makrele asian with radish and coriander Very nice glazed mackerel fillet on fine coriander level, crunchy radish and Beurre Blanc foam hops, accompanied by some wild rice. Makrele is basically a bit difficult, especially if it does not get absolutely fresh or slightly overwhelmed, this was of course not the case. Even if it is not our favorite fish, in this perfect cooking level and combination with Asian flavors absolutely succeeded. Black seaweed with pancetta, sepia and tomato compote An excellent food fish and a beautiful portion, perfectly cooked to the point and in combination with the delicately melting pancetta, some sepiatine sauce, salaricorne, popped wild rice and hechtkaviar another highlight. Only the tomato compote, probably thought as a double point, came to be acidified for our feeling and overlaid the finer nuances. Pigeon with tube, roasted ram potatoes and parsley bouillon Lehrbuchhaft cooked pigeon breast, super tender and juicy, there is something Fleur de Sel complete. A beautiful idea is the crispy roasted, round-out potato pile. Sufficiently strong to support the aroma of the pigeon but of pleasantly fine consistency. To this end, laboriously strangled fingers on carrot swamp and velvety mild parsley sauce – I also find more suitable as a bouillon. Before the main course, a not classic palate refresher from the classic menue sequence in the form of a Gin Tonic Sorbet with white dill chocolate and cucumber foam was crowned. Sounds funny, but a cool combination. The light bitter note of the juniper mitigates a highly welcome interruption by the cucumber aroma together with the essential oils of the dill and the crème cocoa butter flavor. Reh with onion, blueberry, mushroom and French Toast Puhh, I'm starting to get the superlative. The roe again in “improved” implementation, on the outside seamlessly browned and inside as thought by the inventor. The other components equally harmonious. Onion puree, red wine onion and sautified mini-lauch onion together with the mushroom Duxelles, strong jus and blueberry mark an ideal autumnal impression. Pear Helene with sweet wood Admittedly desserts for me as sweets Grinch are usually rather negligible. I really missed something here. The classics raped over aeons continuously by means of canned pears and industry Schokosaucene equivalent were served in a very successful interpretation. The pear as a gel, chip, foam and lack of matching vocabulary “pear air chocolate”. Instead of Schokosauce an intense cocoa cream and as a harmonious addition veritable lakritzeis. Chapeau, the star for the kitchen is well-deserved! In total contrast to this, the service drug surprises with various deficits. For example, no after-service was offered at the bread and there was no aperitif recommendation. Even though we had ordered still water, they gave up loudly at the second bottle. The empty wine glasses were again overlooked when the dishes were put in. After the crowd of the guests had gone, the big, loud-hearted environments started. Do not misunderstand, of course, the restaurant has to be prepared for breakfast service, but this is also much more discreet, we had just started with the main course and felt already as a disturbing factor. After all, it worked, actually we would have liked to extend the enjoyment by suitable digestifs, which apparently induced by the close evening, hectic operation ensured that we already asked for the bill when lifting the dessert. The then half-hearted coffee or digestif was offered again fits into the picture, so you know the standards, but don't apply them. Very strange, we had left our Death Metal T shirts in the guest house and not jonggled with burning hedgehogs.... For two menues in five excellent courses, a bottle of Grauburgunder (38, Euronen) and two bottles of water, 228, Euronen were due, the kitchen is definitely worth it."
