My wife and I staid at the Atlantic hotel for a week recently. This was our first trip to Germany…read moreand obviously to the Atlantic Hotel. Let me first say that the Hotel is beautiful which carries over to the Deck 8 restaurant situated on the first floor of the hotel. We ate lunch shortly after arriving from Hamburg. To our surprise and delight, everyone spoke fairly good English at the hotel. Ordering from the menu was a bit confusing, but we managed. I ordered the beef with potatoes and my wife had a salad. This isn't the type of place we would usually eat lunch, but we were very hungry and this seemed like a safe bet. It was definitely a bit pricier than I would normally pay, but certainly worth it. My beef was cooked perfectly and the vegetable and potato sides were delicious. My wife's salad was very good as well. The strangest things about eating in Germany was the fact that they do not offer to bring you water. If you order water, it is bottled or sparkling water and is not cheap. I realize this is a cultural thing so I'm not holding it against them. Even though we did not have kids with us, I thought it was cool that they had a kids play area off to one side that was full of toys and puzzles. If I'm ever in Kiel again, I would recommend Deck 8.

Great service. Good for allergic folks. Gluten-free, milk-free etc. no problem. They have also…read moregluten-free bread with a very good oil combined with salt'n pepper as good as regular bread. Perfect starter a mustard cucumber soup (vegan) and for the main course steak with fries and a side salat. Steak cooked to perfection. Good wine choice recommended by waitress. Also the tuna with mushed wasabi-potato looked delicious and according to my company very delicious. We had a great night out with my in-laws and this needs to be repeated when back in town. Can recommend Pier 16, you'll not be disappointed.

Arguably the best kebap in Kiel, this is the place to go to experience the real thing. Rather…read morepricey but worth every single Euro. This is the Kebap place to go after a long day of work to treat yourself. After a night out, it might be a waste to eat their delicious kebap.

I love this place. Tucked away in a little side street not too far from Kiel's city centre (if…read morethere is such a thing ...), you can get a really nice breakfast or a quick lunch - right next to a real goldsmith working on real hand-crafted jewellery. Because this place is both a café and a goldsmith's workshop. The place where the Werkstatt Café can be found used to be a butcher's shop - and you can still find "reminders in stone" all over the walls. The rest of the furniture is modern, yet comfy. The menu might be small, alas, the quality of the breakfast (and the coffee) is very good. Service is very friendly too. You can't go wrong with this place - just make sure you have a reservation on the busy Saturday mornings.
