Kühlungsborn is a beautiful place with many decent places to eat, expensive and cheap. Portofino is…read moreone the best value restaurants over there. Beautifully decorated, classy but not pretentious. My wife and I went there one evening without any reservation. The staff was simply great, very helpful and welcoming. They managed to get us a very nice table inside. We shared a delicious carpaccio to start. As a main course we had black pasta, one with tuna and the other with salmon, both copious and delicious. The panna cotta for dessert was divine. We will go back there next time we are in town. A place to recommend.

I hope to try more food from this city along the Baltic Sea but for now it is a 4-star meal to me!…read more It was tougher to find English reviews and recommendations for Rostock than Berlin or Hamburg but I saw multiple recommendations online for Zur Kogge. I was worried that the tourist attraction would lack gastronomically. Thankfully, I was wrong. I arrived to find a large tour group dining and only one free table left. Throughout my meal, I witnessed many diners turned away because they were booked up (this was on a Monday night), so make sure to come early or make a reservation. If you want the best view of the nautical decor, reserve a table on the upper level. My drink and food orders were taken promptly even though they were BUSY. I ordered the Rostocker Export draught to start. It was a great pour and went perfectly with my food. I ordered the pumpkin ginger soup and I sat there for 10-15 minutes with my taste buds blown. It was served hot, with dark bread croutons and pumpkin oil. It was smooth but thick and warmed my entire body. I ordered the sauteed herring with potatoes and green beans (Frisch gebratene Ostseeheringe mit deftigen grünen Speckbohnen und Bratkartoffeln) as my entree. I hadn't had a fish with bone-in in a long time, so eating it was a bit of a challenge for me. The flavors were great but the dish overall was a tad heavy. Both the potatoes and green beans are sauteed in bacon grease. I left feeling content and fit in a nice 15-minute walk before getting on the bus back to Berlin. I will definitely bring friends along next time.

Love this place and that was why for my graduation dinner I took my parents (who came all the way…read morefrom Canada) to eat here! Wow were we happy with amount that was served!!! Don't let the name stop you from coming in -- here not only is fish served but also steak, vegetarian and basically typical North (Rostock) fisherman food. I ordered the Schollen -- it came with a nice fish plate and a generous amount of salad, sauce and either rice or french fries or croquettes (fried potatoes thingy) Try and get a table upstairs- cause there are plenty of old antiques hanging from the wall and nice huge blowfish also. The staff are friendly and perhaps you can also get the Platt-Deutsch menu and learn some words also! All in all, a nice restaurant, centrally located -- across from the harbour so you can also go for a walk after or before or what the heck go into the city for some shopping!

It was on our anniversary that we visited this cozy restaurant in Warnemünde, near the Baltic Sea…read more They could hardly have been kinder to us (and our little spaniel) if they had known; the service was fabulous. The seafood was also very good. I have to say: the "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" here. Was it the cool sea air on the stroll to the dining room, the fresh fish, the warm service, the vibrant art, the fireplace, the lovely other guests? All of these and more. We entered and left with a sense of enchantment.

Thank god for yelp, cause if it wasn't for yelp, I probably would of not walked into Burwitz Legendar. Their menu is all in German but you can ask them for the English menu. We ordered the famous Schweineschnitzel, German Sausage with Curry Sauce and a dish of filet fish. Of course being in Germany, I also ordered a glass of their local Lubzer beer. Food was amazing here, the Schweineschnitzel (deep fried pork cutlet) was amazing! Fried to perfection and the pork had great texture and flavor, definitely my favorite dish out of the three. The German Sausage was also great, the curry sauce was spicy but not to the point where it covers all taste buds! Filet on the other hand was so-so, fried nicely too though, but fish was a little dry. Overall, amazing experience at this restaurant with great food, beer and service all in a very resonable price!! If i ever go back to this area, I will visit again for sure.
