The story
Reichlich Zollhaus in Westerland anchors a distinct corner of the culinary map where alpine traditions meet the rhythm of the North Sea. The kitchen bridges Austrian heritage with North German serenity, honoring traditional recipes while incorporating the finest catch from the surrounding waters. Cooks interpret familiar dishes with a modern lens, ensuring clear aromas and high-quality products define every plate.
The original Wiener Backhendl remains a focal point, prepared exclusively upon reservation to maintain its traditional integrity. The menu also features restored dishes from the 1980s, showcasing how regional favorites have evolved over time. This balance of old and new resonates deeply; the Schlemmer Atlas awarded two spoons for the restaurant's success in serving everything one loves about Austrian cuisine, reimagined for the present day.
The dining room fosters a sense of belonging, inviting guests to settle in for extended conversations over their meals. Service blends the polite warmth of Austrian hospitality with the casual ease found along the coast. Patrons often find themselves staying longer than planned, drawn by the comfortable setting and the genuine camaraderie that defines life in Westerland.
