Zum Stoertebeker - Borkum

We had accidentally discovered the restaurant through a sign near the old lighthouse on our bike tour and immediately reserved for the next night. (High season Der Weibl. Service was very friendly. Gruss from the house was on the way: fresh bread with delicious lace. The very friendly boss Mr. Kortmann also came to our table and introduced us the daily dishes, very great, that shows that he has interest in his guests. We've met very positively and appreciated. The dish with steak strips (fried at the point and noodles with exotic spices was super spicy. At the Ceasar salad, my change request (without bacon was simply implemented. The appetizer grilled eggplants with almonds was delicious. After that I had crunchy sweet potatoes with guavacomole, delicious! The organic lemon ginger lemonade from the different beverage card was great, I didn't know the variety yet. The menu also had the history of sturdy pigeons in advance, was exciting to read. The dessert raspberry sorbet with cream bread we found just delicious. For children there is an extra pirate children's card. It was for us tastefully the best restaurant during our vacation on Borkum and we had tried many! Who cares about delicious and quality food is here! p.S. We cannot understand the bad reviews here in the portal of July 2022. We like to come back. (The robust Dungeon reminded us of our restaurant in our hometown, where the boss sometimes comes to the tables in between, among other things there are very good tastes, just like in the robust Dungeon.

The stay in this place began with a very unfriendly and energetic operation. The table was dirty and the flowers on the table were totally dry. The medium ordered steak was fried and the fish plate for two people was very improveable. The fried fish fillets were on top of each other and were thus softened. The associated sauces simply a catastrophe (absolutely watery). We will not recommend this place and not visit again.

Forward: The food has tasted us four very well! Unfortunately, a salad and the crabs were missing in the disturbing pigeon panfish variation. On demand it was not possible to obtain salad, or substitute vegetables. Instead, an espresso was offered. Finally, we had to pay 1 euro rebooking supplement for the reordering of roast potatoes on potato dippers. Everything in everything looks different.

The interior has iconic 80s charm and there are meat and fish at the dishes. The boss has taken up the order itself and is not a problem for additional wishes and speciality. At Steak there are not only 3 but 5 (6 chefs). I chose the Zander on vegetable rice and am thrilled by the Wasabi crust and the Chili peel in vegetable rice. This gives the fish dish a special touch. As an appetizer there was a delicious Mediterranean tomato soup with cheese slices. The grey Burgundy rounded off the food. Another possibility is the own composition of meat, vegetables, supplements, sauces and dips. Or combine the appetizers tapas to a meal. Friendly service therefore includes 5 points.

Operation....he tried, but not exaggerated friendly. At dinner some nice ideas, but the execution wasn't ripe. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't too sharp. For me it looked like a lack of personnel when the cook himself brings the dishes and clarifications, he cannot be in his area of kitchen. Next year there is a second attempt.
