The story
At the Badhotel Sternhagen in Cuxhaven-Duhnen, the Sterneck stands as the hotel’s pinnacle of fine dining. Located directly on the North Sea promenade, this Michelin-starred restaurant offers exquisite gourmet cuisine with a breathtaking view of the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage site.
The kitchen team, led by Chef Marc Rennhack, crafts refined compositions that honor German culinary traditions while incorporating elegant French and Spanish influences. The result is a menu of sophisticated, multi-layered dishes served in a light-filled, maritime-styled room.
The experience is guided by Sommelière and Restaurantleiterin Anika Feldmann, who selects rare bottles from the hotel’s own award-winning wine cellar to pair perfectly with each course.
Sterneck’s Michelin One Star recognition validates its commitment to “high quality cooking” and places it among the most notable destinations for gourmet cuisine in Northern Germany. The restaurant’s style is one of back-holding Hanseatic elegance: warm, attentive service without fuss, and a focus on letting the quality of the ingredients and the precision of the cooking speak for themselves.
Whether you are a hotel guest or a local visitor, a dinner at Sterneck is a celebration of the North Sea coast’s finest produce, transformed with skill and imagination.
