Oktopussy - Norderney

Ja, es ist höherpreisig aber es lohnt sich. Qualität und Geschmack wirklich hervorragend. Location wunderbar, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Die Herren im Service etwas motvationslos. Insgesamt aber absolute Empfehlung von er Sweet auf Qualität legt

After a long time it was clear that we were allowed to spend our spring week on Norderney, which was booked in autumn, and hopefully we were able to resume the culinary life. First restaurant visits in Bremen and the neighboring village Ritterhude were mixed. Two of the most important restaurants Firenze, Orpheas, also booked on weekends, were happy to welcome many guests. In the Syrian Afrin, in the Italian L ́Angolino and in the Croatian ambience of the former Mediterranean, it looked very depressing. I can only appeal to everyone: visit your tribal restaurants and leave generous Euros there, otherwise you cannot complain if it will soon be one or the other host! On Norderney unfortunately also empty spaces. A new access to search and view is the Oktopussy at Hotel New Wave, which was opened shortly after our last year island stay. On the homepage, high ambitions are announced with the hint that the hotel manager Sascha Lissowsky worked in the star temple “La Vie” in Osnabrück. But read: “Together with the cook Klaus Zehbe he develops the special moment of enjoyment of the OKTOPUSSY: Culinary surprise sets sic! they set new standards together with craftsmanship from the finest! The concept is casual, down-to-earth and with ingredients from all over the world and the best from the region. ‘ [here link] Currently, the octopussy is still working in the corona war mode because it was offered only a reduced card in the evening. This is understandable because the current corona restrictions allow only one behavioral operation. On Thursday after Pentecost, almost all tables were occupied at 7 p.m., which the Oktopussy can currently offer at a reasonable distance. It is casual and the audience around us was also curious about the octopussy. As a man of people and friend of the neighborhood restaurants, I always make it hard to evaluate restaurants of this category. We have not regretted our visit and if the map available on the homepage is offered, there are still some positions that make curious and encourage a future visit. Because you don't pay attention to the euro on holiday, the almost 110 euros are also not forbiding for us. But in Bremer everyday life, an octopussy remained a restaurant for the special occasion. When assessing the price-performance ratio, it is necessary to take into account the investments in the generous and good restaurant and its amortization. For drinks a high price level: The open, classified house wines are between 4 and 5 euros for 0.1l and are calculated with a percussion factor of up to >5, is shown exactly on the calibration line. A Pils 0.2l strikes with 2.80 euros. The water appears almost cheap for 6 euros. In annoyingly highly appreciated, I still felt to discuss main dish Grilled Octopus with 26 euros. In the overall show, the generous Amuse Gueule and the other food prices do not wake up and so good four stars jump with economic understanding for the price-performance ratio. Service In the Oktopussy you place a lot of value on a personal address. The most important protagonists with photo and first name are presented on the homepage. In the case of a phone reservation that was only successful in the third call, it was consistently reduced; during the visit we did not notice this in the review. In service probably five younger women in gray octopussy standing collar shirt and light brown aprons. Among them a means not spoken German. The atmosphere that the service team spreads is pleasantly relaxed overall, but without remarkable personal or humorous speech next to the information collection and the “was it right question”. Recommended as aperitif was a good Cava rosé 6.5 Euro/0.1l. The then gifted wines Rosé Clarette 5 Euro/0.1l and Domaine du Tariquet Sauvignon blanc 4.5 Euro/0.1l would like to have three degrees colder. The open wines from the bottle are presented at the table. I liked my A mon père Ventoux 2017 9.8 Euro/0.2l as popular and fruity very good. Flott served the Amuse Gueule and then no boredom occurred. Good in terms of drinks, whose fill level was observed attentively in the glasses, to request further requests and also to fulfill them quickly. After the appetizers were asked to go on or wait for 10 minutes. So it was very quick to hear what was also possible for the rest of the tables in view of the open kitchen and the clearly perceptible announcements by chef Klaus Zehbe. Maybe we wanted to have all the tables occupied early, we returned at 17.00 and are quickly available for a second shift. For service my standard rating of three stars for a satisfactory performance without knocking. Food On the table the reduced card: Four appetizers in the range from 14 to 16 Euro including Vitello Tonnato 2.0 with calf and tuna, five main courses between 21 gnocchi with rocket and tomato sauce and 32 Euro stone butter and three offers from the terrace to 13/14 Euro. But to our pleasant surprise a generous and successful greeting from the kitchen as a start. Brav inserates self-baked rye bread, chives, olive oil, sea salt flakes and two barrels of foamed asparagus soup! It is best to have a warm bread with cumin and also a slightly cool, puffy chalk butter, a simple, perfect harmony. Also very well the swallow of unbound, hot savings. With good mood we then expected the daily recommendation Spargelsalat 9 Euro and for me the Bouillabaisse “Oktopussy Style” with Sauce Rouille 14 Euro. The asparagus salad served on an elongated flat bowl with white and green asparagus, cooking and sea air sinks, bread lanterns with pesto, made with a refreshing vinaiigrette, my constant companion was very good. My Bouillabaisse was poured at the table into a medium-sized soup bowl with a small octopus arm and a small piece of fish fillet. As a further use a shell and a few North Crabs. Two roasted slices of white bread, coated with oil and a shell with the roulette. With a fish soup I can handle five stars if it can create my culinary memory of the fish sheds in Provence. Creation in the octopussy could not succeed completely. First it was because neither the roast bread nor the roulille had experienced remarkable garlic and remained boring for me. At the fish soup was only slightly hot, I wondered with every spoon missing for the fifth star. Something pastis, a more remarkable fish note of the base? So only four stars. The grilled octopus as the main food was set for me because if octopus is offered, then I also take. On the map were cut as supplements tomato compote, olives, cream and jelly from the octopus and tomatoes potato jam, for 26 euros. That promised to be a good deal. When the plate was served, it was terrified. Some of the supplements were plumbing. But really disappointing the few sections of the caterpillar arm. I know that Oktopus is not a bargain of the use of goods, but the grilled octopus in the Orpheas family tree as an appetizer for less than 10 euros is more the crimp than the saving variant than the main course in the octopussy. Tastefully there was nothing to put on the octopus: delicate meat and strong grill aromas at the same time. For a saturation my constant companion had the so popular and frequently encountered Wiener Schnitzel with potato cucumber salad and Cranberry compote 23 euros from the size of the part the better choice. One saw how the sous boss carefully shredded the thin slices and brittle in the pan, which one only heard. The Panade of the impressive Schnitzel waved and separated from the Schnitzel. Half a lemon in a small sauce. A very good idea for form and function, because the lemon could be expressed so well without the cores coming into the panade. Since the carving was good, I was allowed to eat half of the carving after my Oktopush apps. The meat as such is more taste-neutral; Panade and lemon are crucial in this court. A little more taste would have been good for the potato salad. I missed broth and acidity. Now for evaluation. The Amuse Gueule I let go with five stars and half weight, Spargelsalat 4.5, Bouillabaisse 4, Oktopus 4, Schnitzel and K Salat 3.5. This gives an average of exactly 4 stars. Ambiente The restaurant moves around the corner of the hotel building and is very light and transparent with floor-facing windows. The entrance area and the open L-shaped seating area are generously dimensioned. Eye-catching is the tress and the underlying, fully visible kitchen. It goes colourful: dark blue on walls, columns and ceilings, light blue of seat cushion, white from the chairs and a floor in cold hall look. The square tables with large metal foot with wood surface and bare. Their size, like in the newly furnished restaurants, is rather modest, but everything could be accommodated. Decorative necklace is dispensed with. Only bottle-shaped vases with two flower sticks and pillows on the benches are allowed. If I sit in such an ambience, I always wonder if it is done for a longer, cozy evening and for me I would deny it. I'm just socialized in the niches of the blue white Greeks! The kitchen is dominated by the clear statements of the boss, sometimes in English. The other four competitors work quite wordless at their stations. In the pots you cannot see, there is the vase for the beverage supply. Cleanliness All right. Wet for disposal it will be in the basement. Here, noble, high-gloss dark structure tiles dominate the optics. The ink cups are formed by the yellow fabric hand towels for individual use, which are circular in a bowl.

Meiner Meinung nach das beste Restaurant auf Norderney!

Leider ist nach früheren sehr positiven Besuchen ein deutlicher Qualitätsverlust feststellbar. Beim Octopus Carpaccio sollte schon Octopus auf dem Teller sein und die extreme Schärfe des Gerichts zumindest vorher aufgeführt werden und nicht jegliche Geschmacksempfindung unmöglich machen. Auch wäre es schön, wenn beim Duett vom Wolfsbarsch und Helgoländer Hummer auch Hummer zu finden wäre und nicht nur Restbestände davon in einer breiartigen Anrichtung. Positiv ist nur der bemühte Service zu erwähnen. Sehr schade!

War in den letzten 3 Jahren unser 3. Besuch und leider sinkt die Qualität. Der Service ist freundlich, kann aber bei fehlendem Wein nicht wirklich eine Alternative anbieten. Eine Sommelierausbildung täte gut. Mein Tochter wollte den Kidsburger ohne Ketchup und Salat , aber mit Gurke und Tomate. Nachdem dies nicht drauf waren, musste wir für die Nachbestellung 10 min warten- Gurke und Tomaten kamen auf Extrateller- und der Burger war kalt. Eine Entschuldigung kam nicht. Ansonsten war das 3-Gang -Menü nicht wirklich seinen Preis wert. Für einige Zeit wohl der letzte Besuch.
