€€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine
At the restaurant of the New Wave hotel, the food is down-to-earth and delicious, and, while it revolves around the region, it also reveals international twists. On the à la carte menu, one dish that reflects the kitchen's characteristically harmonious flavour combinations is "octopus cooked sous-vide, aioli, olives, house-baked bread".

Oktopussy in Norderney offers contemporary regional cuisine within a stylish, modern setting featuring an open kitchen.

€€€Classic French, French Contemporary
Having earned his spurs at some award-winning restaurants, most recently at Seesteg, owner and head chef Hilko Uphoffis, together with his partner Giulia Casto, is at the helm of this smart restaurant located right next to the Michels Thalasso Hotel Nordseehaus, on the edge of the pedestrian/shopping zone.

It is also home to a chic restaurant with modern and minimalist interior design and a fabulous terrace. In the kitchen, Nelson Müller's team prepares flavoursome and pleasingly uncomplicated dishes from fresh, good-quality ingredients. Soul food would be an apt label for this cuisine.

Müllers auf Norderney offers contemporary fusion cuisine with generally positive reception. Food quality is a key strength, praised for its excellence, though some guests noted occasional cooking errors or insufficient portions. Service is typically friendly and efficient, despite isolated complaints regarding table assignments. The ambiance blends elegance with North Sea views, featuring refined glassware, yet table spacing can compromise privacy during busy periods, and the atmosphere may feel sparse off-peak. Overall, it suits diners seeking high-quality meals and scenic settings, provided they manage expectations regarding seating and service consistency.
Ideal for diners prioritizing culinary quality and sea views; book in advance and specify seating preferences.
