The story
Landhaus Tettens delivers straightforward home cooking in Bremerhaven, guided by owners Regina Modro and Nico Schmidt since January 2010. Their kitchen balances familiar comfort with precise technique, relying heavily on seasonal produce sourced from nearby farms and local waters. You will find this grounded philosophy in every plate, whether it arrives as a clear tomato basil soup or a rich beef consommé with egg garnish. The team treats regional ingredients as the starting point rather than a backdrop, allowing the natural flavors to carry the meal forward.
The menu rotates regularly to match what the region offers at any given time. Roast beef served with Béarnaise sauce pairs with gratinated potatoes for a comforting main course, while smoked salmon roses rest atop crispy rösti with honey mustard dressing. This style of traditional home cooking often highlights wild game and river fish when the seasons turn colder. A pan fried zander filet arrives with dill sauce and band noodles, proving how consistently the kitchen respects local catches.
The building itself carries nearly three centuries of continuous use, originally functioning as a farmstead before becoming a dining space. Its thatched roof and direct position along the dike provide uninterrupted views across the Weser river toward Bremerhaven. The Schlemmer Atlas recognized this enduring location with its 1.5 ladle award, noting how the architecture frames the landscape perfectly. Large windows frame the changing weather outside, keeping the interior bright during lunch hours.
