Café do Brasil

in Braderup at Coco & James

Brazilian street food vibes await you at this new café run by Heitor and his family. Here, you can enjoy spelt waffles, delicious açai bowls, Brazilian bean stew, and espresso from a portafilter machine. Add to that a generous portion of tranquility, as the grounds surrounding Coco & James is the perfect place to slow down and unwind.

Dietmar Priewe

The voltage increases!

We already know the location in Keitum at Genusskreisel. And that he loves beets. The rest is still relatively secret. Sylt's top chef Dietmar Priewe is known as the long-time head chef at Sansibar. Most recently, he enriched the Lanserhof with his healthy expertise, and this summer he's opening his own bistro. Information about ROOTS Sylt in Keitum

Café Klapprad

The new opening at the Wenningstedt campsite

Since he was eight, he's wanted to work in the restaurant industry. At 16, he began training as a restaurant specialist and subsequently worked in various restaurants. And since March, Julian Diedrichsen has finally opened his own shop. CafĂ© Klapprad is a dream come true for the 34-year-old, one he fulfilled together with his friends Benni and Fred. "I get up in the morning and I love being here. I actually don't want to go home. Of course, that also has something to do with my employees, who are all long-time friends of mine." 
And this friendship is palpable when you enter the restaurant at the Wenningstedt campsite. Good humor, laughter, and a natural warmth fill the air.

The interior also exudes happy vibes: light wood, lots of green plants, a neat mix of sofas, armchairs, and wooden tables, and quirky unique pieces on the walls. "This is my living room. Almost literally, because this is what my living room looked like until recently," explains Julian, who is probably familiar to many Sylt residents and guests from his restaurant stints on the island. "I've been collecting furniture and decorative objects for ten years with the goal of one day having them in my own shop."

A breath of fresh air in the Little Tea Room in Keitum

From “Startup-Heini” in Berlin to breakfast restaurateur on Sylt

After school, Cedric from Sylt was initially drawn to the wide world. Far from his usual island life, out of his parents' tearoom, into adventure and the business world. He traveled to 45 countries, calling several places like Lisbon, Berlin, and Tel Aviv home along the way. The loss of two family members led Cedric into estate administration and prompted him to found a tech company. He is now firmly anchored on the island again. Last year, in addition to his personal passion, death, another was added: the tearoom. With creative ideas and a cosmopolitan outlook, he is bringing a breath of fresh air to the traditional Sylt business and the gastronomy scene.

To the Golden Seagull
in Westerland

The promenade in Westerland on Sylt is the heart of the island metropolis. It serves as the venue for international surfing events, Wine and music festivals, for walks together and first dates, for farewells or new encounters and so much more. Always accompanied by the sea and the tides, here is New Year's Eve to Windsurfing World Cup In autumn, there's almost always something going on. And although the Westerland Promenade dates back to the 1840s and has been continually developed and modernized since then thanks to the rise of tourism, something always seemed to be missing, especially in recent years.

It is precisely this gap as well as the empty rooms of the former Kölln shop diagonally opposite the Musical shell The two entrepreneurs Fabian de Vries and Dirk Effler will now fill the café. With their island-specific surf deli “To the Golden Seagull” They want to create a place that's not only a perfect destination for guests, but also offers added value for locals. The menu consists of healthy dishes and has something for every appetite.

Sylt Harbour

In the sunny south of the island

Sweet or salty? The question of all questions when you are in line at the Crêpe stand For those who are quick to decide and very hungry, the wait can feel like an eternity. For those who are still undecided about which of the delicious creations to order, this special space between decision and ordering can be worth its weight in gold. At Hörnum harbor with the team from “South Harbor” The wait, if there is one, is made more pleasant by the expansive view of Sylt's eastern beach. In good weather and clear visibility, you can even see as far as Amrum and Föhr. The neighboring islands certainly provide potential for discussion: "Left, right, which is which?"

While some people are now pulling the phone joker, asking Siri or the tried-and-true search engine, the queue is moving quickly. Dinsche is standing at the crêpe slices on the right, Coffee bar Today Justin serves everything from Latte Macchiato to Iced Latte and Flat White from the portafilter machine"Two cappuccinos, please. This is part of our vacation. For us, it's the best in Hörnum. We don't even want to drink one at home because we don't like it anymore," one woman enthuses, her successor confirming her statement with similar enthusiasm. "Our bean blend is 70% Arabica and 30% Robusta and comes from the coffee workshop in Braderup," Justin explains with a smile as he froths the milk...

Cheese Club in Keitum

For many, Keitum is the jewel of the island. Typically Frisian, typically Sylt. Traditional. Adorned with thatched-roof houses, stone walls, and pretty gardens. A significant part of Sylt's agriculture operates here, both in the middle and on the outskirts. Keitum is authentic and down-to-earth; here, everything seems to be in order. On the mudflats in the east of the island, surrounded by meadows and grazing horses. It's all the more refreshing when someone dares to step out of line, to do things differently. Perhaps even to offend.

With this courageous energy, Fabian Kolb and Johannes Philipson on 11 May 2024 in its first season as Cheese Club in KeitumMonths before, the two had been working hard, developing new skills, whether they wanted to or not, and getting to know each other all over again. The shop's creative name probably raises as many questions as it does cravings. Is there raving here after sunset? How do you get in? Do you have to be a member? The focus of the cheese club, which has found its home in the former Frisian cheese shop, is, first and foremost, cheese. Upon entering the building, diagonally across from the Keitum Teekontor and next to Georg's Galerie, this quickly becomes clear. The finest aromas waft from the counter and fill the shop...
