Restaurant Käthe und Karl

Käthe und Karl is a restaurant set in a converted smithy near the North Sea dyke. The kitchen prepares seafood, meat specialties, and vegetarian options with attention to fresh local ingredients and traditional cooking methods.

The place bears the names of the parents of owner Astrid von der Ohe, connecting the restaurant to family roots in the area. This choice links the dining experience to decades of local family life and presence in the community.

The place draws locals who value its connection to North Sea food traditions that shape everyday dining around here. The dishes reflect how the sea has always been central to what people eat and how they cook in this region.

The restaurant opens in the early evening on most days and stays open late, with extended hours on weekends. Booking ahead is wise, especially if you are coming with a group or planning to dine on Friday or Saturday nights.

The kitchen cooks Kleikartoffeln in sea salt water with aioli, a preparation method rarely seen elsewhere. The red shrimp served here are wild-caught from the nearby North Sea waters and often reach the plate the same day they are brought in.
