The story

Panorama-Restaurant „Schaarhörn“ in Cuxhaven | Coastal Dining with Sea Views

A foundation built on the dunes

Panorama-Restaurant „Schaarhörn“ serves refined coastal cuisine from a prime spot on the Cuxhaven beach promenade, framing every table with unbroken views of the North Sea. The dining room resides within the Badhotel Sternhagen, a property established in 1958 by Jürgen and Helga Sternhagen. Today the family-run business maintains a quiet atmosphere defined by Hanseatic elegance and measured service. Guests settle into spacious interiors designed for unhurried conversation while watching the tide shift.

Precision and fresh ingredients

Chef Marc Rennhack directs the kitchen with a clear philosophy centered on ingredient quality and technical precision. The seasonal menu features locally caught fish, regional meats, and vegetarian plates prepared daily using natural products. This approach to coastal cooking strips away unnecessary complexity, allowing the raw flavors of the harvest to take center stage. Careful plating and consistent execution reflect a steady commitment to authentic preparation standards.

Tasting notes and sweet finishes

Anika Feldmann manages the beverage program from a private cellar located three metres beneath the sandy dunes. Her selections span global regions, chosen specifically to complement the day’s dishes without overwhelming them. Diners conclude their meals with treats from the hotel’s in-house patisserie, where delicate cakes and desserts provide a refined end to the evening. Expert wine pairing and homemade confections define the regional dishes served here, earning the venue two and a half spoons in the 2026 Schlemmer Atlas.
