"Viewed as a gastronomic, my stay on Borkum did not always correspond to the haunted naive expectations from abundant fish to buckling, and envyed by brittle buckthorn shower. The friendly Mr. Borkumer descent, whom I met on the train to Emden, had already warned: not too much fish, not too much iodine – sensitive people are already turning around. Well, due to the lack of attractive culinary offers, it could not come at all. However, a wide range of flexibility of lucullic nature cannot in principle harm. The speciality restaurant Alt-Borkum advertises local products, with the term home very broad. As cosmopolitans around the patron Osman Kalkinc, the staff mainly from the Mediterranean region conjures a wide range of Dryed Aged hamburgers through feta cheese with thyme honey to north German pann fish. The Schaufle, actually from the Badisch, is made here by the Susländer Schwein from Schleswig-Holstein, the Spätzle (which are actually offered here!) has introduced an originally from Ulm, now unfortunately deceased cook. On each table there are three different, coarse specialty salts. And the wine list offers wines from different regions. It's quite multiculti. There's nothing here without a table reservation. In this case, the old brothel lies rather out of the local core and above all far from the usual flanier mile. You have to control the place very consciously. The guest rooms are located on two levels, with the upper slightly rustic furnished with moderate maritime bonds – and the lower bright, modern to undercooled. You sit here very comfortably on high-stretch, leather-related chairs or on multi-color accented benches. The staff act quickly, but sometimes somewhat unconcentrated. As a tomb from the kitchen to apply three small baguette slices plus a tomb for four people, it is not quite possible to go on. It's only when I tell you the truth, it's gonna be quick. Tableware and cutlery are well maintained, modern to original. Only our opulent wine glasses I consider excessively oversized. Almost you need both hands to pull them off. Today, we choose gourmet mushrooms for 15.90 Euro (herbals, oyster mushrooms and nutschampignons, including salad and two eggs, as well as a chicken breast fillet from the grill for 17.90 Euro (with aromatic lentil salad and already mentioned gourmet pills, as well as actually – God has the former cook from Ulm blessed – Swabian cheese spies. Many of the quality ingredients have organic quality here: the eggs used and the flour, also the apple juice choir. The dishes are tastefully dressed, interestingly seasoned and with nice details. Unfortunately, some things are already cold until it reaches our table. This should be due to the high level of public envoy, perhaps also to the fact that there is a bigger birthday party at the side table, which apparently swallows many resources and even more service-oriented attention. Speaking of celebration: at a birthday party every guest receives a glass of champagne on the house. And children with a grade cut to 2.3 get a sweet dessert for free. Numerous other actions and events also regularly attract. At present every Thursday is Rumpsteak day with special prices. All in all, the Alt-Borkum impresses with a somewhat different food offer than usual here and with a remarkable commitment by the boss. Tenderless cleanliness prevails up to the smallest corner. High value is placed on cultivated table culture. In good weather you can also sit outside, but at the moment the strong wind blows alone would already throw away our napkins..."

"This café would surely become our tribal café if we lived on Borkum! We have tasted the vegan breakfast, the vegan curry sausage, the vegetarian chocolate and poppy cake, as well as the vegan bowl and vegetarian burger with hiumi. Everything was really tasty, costly perfectly fine, the serving size was good, the food was nicely dressed and the café comfortably decorated. Coffee and cocoa were also delicious and could be ordered with oat milk."

"After an extensive beach walk with the destination Eastland we reached the peasant rooms and a very cozy sunny place in the garden at noon. Since we drove to Eastland 30 years ago to eat a piece of East Friesentorte, but we were completely disappointed last year, we were only careful with the order. It turned out, however, that last year we have confused the café (there are two in the East! . Then the said cake and Mega was enthusiastic. Was as delicious as before. And it's good that we had to go back about 6 km on the beach... We'll be back. For a piece of East Frisenentorte in the farmhouses there is no way too far (also with strong east wind on the beach...."

"The tea is grottenschlecht, Ostfriesentee without taste. The cake, beard cheesecake and apple cake came from the retort. The ambience did not correspond to Grandmas Teestube!"
