"Have walked past this particular establishment a number of times with the full intention to try it one day. It is very well situated in the Altstadt of Leer, directly next to the Rathaus, and superficially at least, it appears to be a well conceived specialist seafood restaurant.Well, I have now visited it, and yes, it is a specialist seafood restaurant. On my visit however (around 8.30pm on a Friday night), it was almost empty - and I think I know why.The meal I had "Kabeljaufilet mit Bratkartoffeln" (Cod filet with roasted potatoes) was preceded by what can only be described as a cabbage stalk off-cut salad in a store-bought 'French' dressing. It was unpleasant, chewy and had an odd after-flavour. The fish dish itself also had a few unpleasant surprises, most notably a beige sour tasting parsley sauce and burnt potatoes. I have to admit that the cold langustine that garnishes the plate (and is apparently served with all fish dishes) was somewhat unappealing to me as well - however this could be down to personal preference.The fish itself was of a hearty size, but the skin had only been crisped up in places, and in some of these had been rendered sloppy again by the unaccountable sauce.The establishment itself felt a little thrown together. It is of a fair size and could conceivably be of appeal to largish parties. The furniture is aged and feels a little worn out. Bizarrely, the menu seems to be sponsored on each page by local businesses, although it could conceivably be seen as a bit quirky, in reality it felt like they may be struggling a little.I personally do not feel the need to try any other dishes from the menu and as such shall favour other local businesses in the future.If you, having read this, are unsure what to think of it - visit it only if you have enough time on your trip to sample other restaurants, I think you will be disappointed."

"In August 2014 I was already in the Brunnenstraße at noon. I could have come in, had it fit today in winter 2°C, Tea Time in East Frisia. After entering the Café Panischer Blick, everything is full. The friendly service said they wait 5 min, then something will be free again. So we went to the pie tresen to finish the jelly of choice, in the rack various cakes and cakes. My wife took the East Frisian Sahnetorte, I took the Dutch cherry cake. When a table was released in front of the vault at the window, another young woman also came and accepted the drinks. My wife ordered a cup of green tea, I got a glass of East Frisian tea. There was immediately the question from the service, Bünting or Thiele Tee? Bünting Tee comes from emptiness, Thiele Tee from Emden. If you're in emptiness you should drink Bünting tea, I said. Although I like both mixtures very much. A short time later, the two cake pieces and the tea came. In the short waiting period I looked around here in the front area. On the wall above the vault, deserves the certificate from the gourmet, I have to say. It's probably the best café in the city of Empty. In the rooms antique objects, a shop window doll in the old dress, on the walls posters of Audrey Hepburn and heavy wallpapers. Here, the taste of food and beverages perfectly match the ambience. On Sunday you can park nearby for free, in front of the café there are also some parking spaces, but chargeable. So we liked it very well, overall we paid €9.50, so the tip for the nice ladies just fell higher. Lt. My wife was also clean, like the whole café!"
