Aalkate Fehmarn in Fehmarn

Es empfiehlt sich, vorher einen Tisch zu reservieren. Dies haben wir im Voraus online getan. Die Speisenauswahl ist vielfältig. Wir hatten als Vorspeise die Garnelen mit Knoblauchdip - sehr lecker! Als Hauptspeise gab es Scholle und Tintenfisch. Die Portionen sind reichlich!

Das Essen sowie die Portionen sind gut. Allerdings ist es Selbstbedienung. Deshalb einen Punkt weniger. Für Familien mit Kleinkindern eher weniger geeignet, da die Tische sehr hoch sind und durch die Selbstbedienung eine hektische Stimmung ist.

Food as always excellent. Unfortunately, many tables with a view of the bay were reserved. Unfortunately you didn't see the signs straight away and then it was annoying that you had to get up.

The food here is always delicious and the portions are sufficient. Unfortunately, what's not so good is that you have to order the food at the counter and pick it up there too. Well, there are worse things.

Very tasty food, fantastic atmosphere, location on the Baltic Sea, but you get the food through these beepers, that's the only thing that deducts 1 star.

Very, very beautiful natural picture outside on the terrace, service was very nice and the food was very tasty. Had the tuna steak in a sesame crust and was surprised at how delicious it tasted.

Great ambience and the food is also very appealing. If you don't like fish, you're in bad hands here.

Super tasty dishes and a very nice atmosphere. The stremella salmon to take home was amazing. I can highly recommend the restaurant.

Danke für den schönen Abend bei euch. Das Essen war fantastisch. Ich komme seid Jahren zu euch und es ist immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Ihr seid ein tolles Team. Danke auch, dass wir noch etwas länger sitzen konnten. Das ist heutzutage nicht so selbstverständlich. Macht bitte alles genau so weiter wie bisher.

Best fish restaurant in Fehmarn. Mandatory every time you visit the island. Absolutely fresh food and a great atmosphere

First of all, I have to say that the quality and taste of the food was exquisite. The size of the portions of the fried fish leaves a lot to be desired. When we were here four years ago, we were full after eating. Today we had to order another meal so we wouldn't leave there hungry. This at a price of over 20 euros per person. Oh well.

Great fish sandwiches and other delicacies from the sea

A must for visitors and fish lovers.

Food was very tasty, seats right by the sea

Very tasty fish dishes - appetizingly presented on beautiful dishes - what I personally don't like is the self-service - but everything worked out well with the starters and main courses - nice atmosphere

Nice old traditional restaurant. The dishes are delicious and you'll feel full too. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine. Recommended!

A super nice restaurant with a view of the sea and great food. There is something here for fish lovers, but also for those who don't eat fish. Dogs are very welcome here. The only drawback is the self-service for drinks and food. Here it would be nicer to be served and not have to clear the table yourself. We'd love to come back! :)

Nice atmosphere, food very tasty. Top service, fast and, above all, Christian was super nice and accommodating. He had really good recommendations for us. We'll definitely be back soon! THANK YOU for a nice and fun evening! We will definitely pass on the eels as a tip!

Unfortunately we were very disappointed this year! We've been coming to Aalkate for dinner every year for my husband's birthday for the last four years. The first 2 years were really awesome! Last year we were very disappointed because the food had already deteriorated significantly. But this year really wasn't good at all! The portions have been halved and the price has gone extremely high. The price-performance ratio is no longer right here! In addition, the food is no longer beautifully presented! It's a real shame... We won't be coming back!

The Aalkate Lemkenhafen is a self-service restaurant for fish lovers. The food there is great, the quality is excellent. Even if it's not necessarily cheap, the food is definitely worth it. Highly recommended.

The eel cat was recommended to us. The food is good and plentiful. Staff only speaks broken German. Everything is kind of like a big canteen. You have to get your own food and drinks and clear the dishes yourself. The staff doesn't have time for that and has to play on their cell phones. The tables are also only wiped sporadically. In any case, we won't be eating there again. For 75€ for two main courses, with two side dishes each that you have to pay extra for, plus a drink each, I think it's more like a tourist option. As I said, the food is delicious and good, you can forget the rest.

Super good food, nice atmosphere right on the water, unfortunately self-service like everywhere else up here these days. Otherwise highly recommended!!@

Very pleasant self service. Good wines, only the beer could offer a little more choice. The fish dishes were perfect

Self-service / but everything under control! Top performance from the entire team and the process with so many guests!

It's like a big self-service fish stall. Price performance is OK Seating is available

Hello, my dears We went to Aalkate and ate there. The food was phenomenal and the smoked eels were also great. We were even allowed to take our dog (border collie) with us, the service was great, so we absolutely recommend it. We had 3 pieces of mashed potatoes Salad and Zero Cola totaled 54€ which was appropriate... so rush there if you're in Fehmarn 👍👍👍🌻

Delicious food and if you can sit outside you have a nice view of the water and the bridge. Idyllic.

We ate cod, no 180g €21.00 Side dishes extra €7-8 and that was self-service, it's slowly becoming outrageous

This restaurant was reminiscent of a canteen where you had to get your own food, which took forever. However, you also have to admit that this restaurant is obviously a victim of a lack of staff.

Are very disappointed, the quality has deteriorated greatly! Small dry eel. That used to be much better.

The eel menu is absolutely great. Not only is the food great, the hospitality is also unique. Sooooo friendly and great in her way of dealing with people....thank you for the great evenings with you.!!!!

really great, delicious food, but because of the self-service it has a bit of a McDonalds character.

The best fish I've ever eaten: "sesame-crusted tuna with wakame". It's expensive, but very tasty and I think it's worth the money. Disadvantage: I would like to drink some tea. I was supposed to get it "at the front" where the out-of-home sales are, but there was a line there... Guys, you can't seriously expect that I, as a guest of the restaurant, will stand in line at the sales counter again... that really has to be organized differently. Therefore 1 star deducted.

For 35 years, when I was still a student, I have been coming to the Aalkate every time I am on Fehmarn. Great quality. And it has retained its character and has not succumbed to “Goschization”. A prime example of how to gradually develop and expand a business. Bravo.

The food is great, but also well paid for self-service.

We were a bit skeptical at first because of the self-service concept. In terms of price, we think it's a bit too expensive. But the quality is good and given the number of guests, it wouldn't be manageable with service. The staff is very friendly. The plaice and salmon were nice and crispy, just the way we love it. Unfortunately a bit too dry. The bacon with onions and apples on the plaice was an interesting variation and very tasty. We both found the lime sauce that was served with the salmon very tasty. Despite the small criticism about the fish, it's still worth recommending. We'd love to come back again. Update 9/2024: We also visited the Aalkate several times on our third vacation on Fehmarn. We always eat here. Reservation is definitely recommended. With a bit of luck you can even sit down somewhere.

A beautiful location in itself. Unfortunately, the fact that you have to order your food yourself at the counter, pick it up and finally clear it away (should) give you the feeling of being in a beer garden (to put it nicely) or a canteen. In addition, what we ate was just “okay” and not really tasty. Little seasoning (lobster sauce was very thin and tasteless, mashed potatoes were plentiful but also boring, almond parmesan crust tasted neither of almonds nor of a hint of parmesan) and the prices were relatively ambitious. We got pretty full. But nothing more. Too bad. At least the employees are friendly

Extremely delicious food, short waiting time and nice staff

Für ein lausig belegtes Fischbrötchen 4,50€, das ist Abzocke hoch drei. Nachdem der Rennboot-vernarrte Sohn das Restaurant und den halben Ort übernommen hat, gehen die Preise durch die Decke! Wir sind mit 5 Mann weiter, wir finanzieren doch nicht das Hobby.....

Nice gastronomy with bad, high-priced food. For 21 euros without any side dishes, I don't expect a breaded and deep-fried fast food style plaice fillet! Every fair can do a better job with the fried fish. Unfriendly service including. This restaurant thrives on the hype of days gone by. Nice restaurant, poor food! Never again!!!

A visit is mandatory at least once when we are on Fehmarn. Super tasty fresh fish......Zander fillet and tuna in a sesame crust....a dream........the additional boathouse restaurant and bar also make it even more perfect

The food itself was very tasty, but the prices were very high. My Steinbeisser was delicious but with baked potatoes it cost just under €25.

Delicious fish, nice atmosphere and friendly service

Dieser Laden und Inhaber bekommt den Hals nicht voll genug. Vor 8 Wochen da gewesen. Preise waren schon sehr teuer. Im Internet geschaut ob es Preiserhöhung gab nicht aktualisiert. Vor Ort alle Preise um 20 Prozent erhöht. Aalkatenriesling von 6,90 auf 8,40 Euro bei Selbstbefriedigung. Dem Mann gehört die halbe Lemkenhafen. Bei den Preisen will demnächst die ganze Insel kaufen. Ich kann hier wirklich nur sagen es wird nichts mehr billiger aber hier ist das Ende der Fahnenstange erreicht. Bitte, bitte meidet diesen Laden mit der Ausverschaemtheit an Preisen. Setzt Euch hier schön hin rsst und trinkt nicht. Doll alles selber essen und trinken....es ist eine Frechheit...so gierig und Ausverschaemtheit zu sein 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Unfortunately, I didn't like the plaice at all, or rather, it didn't taste like anything. I also assumed it was a restaurant, but you had to serve yourself, so you can't call it service. The only really nice thing was the terrace outside on the Baltic Sea. Very nice and lots of ambience. I will not recommend this restaurant. I was very disappointed.

Romantic terrace, good food, great view

The food itself was tasty and of good quality. The self-service didn't bother us either because it meant there was less pressure when choosing dishes. What speaks against the restaurant is that the dishes are relatively expensive and you have to order a side dish separately. I was also disappointed with the keisergranata for the soup because it had almost no fish in it. The tiramisu, on the other hand, is very good. A bit disappointing overall, but still a good restaurant for fish fans. Gladly again.

Great concept and very, very good food! Absolute recommendation, even for people who don't eat fish.

Authentic restaurant with high-quality and delicious food. We were there three times and were thrilled every time! The kitchen team there does a great job and it's really fun to watch them give full throttle as a well-coordinated team. Always my pleasure! ♥️

Self-service. Very tasty food, quality and preparation excellent. Always my pleasure.

Delicious fish 🐟 🐟 always happy to bring time with you on the weekend

As in every summer, no Fehmarn holiday is possible without a stop at the Aalkate. Service and food were also great this year and the extra tasting by Christian led to the purchase of various spirits, which we can only recommend (Aalkatenlikör; Feldler rööv): Fehmarzz to take away!!! See you next time!!!

We have really enjoyed being here over the last few years. But it gets harder every year... Unfortunately, it has long been obvious that there is a complete lack of proportion when it comes to drink prices on the island. Also here in the Aalkate. But this year you really hit the jackpot with a fried fish roll for €9.90! The price is difficult to justify. But the size of the portion!! That's really cheeky... and there's not even any service! You have to get your own food at the counter. That was probably our last visit because the price-performance ratio has unfortunately been completely wrong in recent years.

Disappointing value for money. The stremella salmon roll had a mild taste, the fries were insufficiently seasoned, but the prices were high

The food was okay, not overly good, but not bad either. The service, on the other hand, is a joke because it doesn't exist! Order at the counter…After 10 minutes of queuing…20 minutes later you can bring your food to the table yourself. Like in a cafeteria, only much slower.

I regularly get fresh smoked fish and fish sandwiches here. These are A1 across the board and there is absolutely nothing to complain about here. As far as the lunch and dinner menu is concerned, I have always skipped this so I can't say anything about it.

The food is great, the rumors were all perfect and we really enjoyed our stay. Price/performance was also right, the portions were absolutely sufficient. It's a shame that there is self-service, which detracts from the character of the restaurant a little.

Always happy to eat fish here. Always freshly prepared food. Great facility compared to before. Casual self-service. Nice staff.

Sat right by the water. Super tasty and incredibly beautiful

....so incredibly tasty, but always very full....you should definitely reserve a table if there are more than 2 people....it's definitely worth it

Good quality, delicious food and a traditional house.

Can also be approached from the water side if the boat has a very shallow draft. Absolutely delicious and always worth the trip...

Food was super tasty, pike perch and scallops were super juicy... fillet of beef fried to perfection. grilled vegetables super seasoned. We'll be back!

I personally love it. A MUST every holiday! NICE ambience and very nice staff. Particularly beautiful in the evening at sunset.

Great location by the water, super delicious food, friendly staff, a place to enjoy

Our food tasted very good. I had the boulliase. But for €19 I expected a larger portion. This was as small as an appetizer. We also didn't like the self-service. The prices don't match that. But this will probably become more and more common due to a lack of staff in the catering industry.

Unfortunately not so tasty this time. Price performance is no longer right. Too bad.

Always my pleasure! Delicious food, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

It fell on its face last year, but back then the restaurant was still able to turn it around. Today (Sunday, August 25th, 2024) another failure. I'm happy to pay reasonable prices for a good restaurant. But doing everything yourself at this price level if it doesn't even work is a disgrace. After our experience last time (food cold because we forgot to activate our transponder), this time we deliberately only ordered something cold. When there was still nothing in sight after 20 minutes, we asked just to be on the safe side (not that it was the transponder again...). We had ordered oysters and the statement was: “It will take about 15-20 minutes from now on”. Waiting 35-40 minutes for four oysters to open? No thanks. There were also problems at two adjacent tables (dishes were already under the thermal bridge, but this was not signaled). Our conclusion: We'll leave it now. Luckily, we also have other restaurants here in Ostholstein that are able to operate adequately even during the tourist season (it wasn't even extremely crowded today). My tip: Maybe the restaurateur should take some of the reviews here to heart. That's just mass, no more class.

Wonderful, the fish sandwiches were great. Everything was freshly prepared. A fish salad went home to the hotel! Great atmosphere!

Letztes Jahr auf die Nase gefallen, damals konnte das Restaurant es noch gerade biegen. Heute (Sonntag, 25.8.24) wieder ein Reinfall. Ich bin gerne bereit, angemessene Preise für ein gutes Restaurant zu zahlen. Aber alles selber machen bei diesem Preisniveau, wenn es dann noch nicht einmal funktioniert ist eine Frechheit. Nach unserer Erfahrung vom letzten Mal (Essen kalt, weil man vergessen hatte unseren Transponder zu aktivieren), haben wir diesmal bewusst nur etwas kaltes bestellt. Als nach 20 Minuten noch nichts in Sicht war, haben wir sicherheitshalber nachgefragt (nicht das es wieder am Transponder liegt….). Wir hatten Austern bestellt, die Aussage war: „Ab jetzt dauert es noch etwa 15 -20 Minuten“. 35-40 Minuten auf das Öffnen von vier Austern warten? Nein danke. An zwei Nebentische gab es auch Probleme (Gerichte standen bereits unter der Wärmebrücke, es wurde aber nicht signalisiert). Unser Fazit: Wir lassen es jetzt. Zum Glück haben wir hier in Ostholstein auch andere Restaurants, die auch während der Touristensaison (es war heute noch nicht mal extrem voll) in der Lage sind, angemessen zu arbeiten. Mein Tipp: Vielleicht sollte der Gastronom sich mal einige der Bewertungen hier zu Herzen nehmen. Das ist nur noch Masse, keine Klasse mehr.

Canteen unfortunately a real disappointment..... Cooks better....

Great atmosphere, very tasty food

Simply Perfect, Good Food…. Great atmosphere

Anyone who is on Fehmarn and likes fish should have been there at least once. It is important to reserve a table in advance, as many arrive spontaneously by bike.

We stood in line for 30 minutes, then we didn't feel like it anymore.... The employee behind the counter fell asleep while packing up, the line got longer and longer, but no other employee in sight...

Delicious fish sandwiches. Very nice to sit and relax.

The food was very tasty except for the schnitzel. The atmosphere was okay, but unfortunately we didn't sit by the water because it was too crowded. In addition, it was only self-service and we had to wait a long time for our food. Overall, this visit was worthwhile but not very special.

Brought delicious fish to take away.

Delicious food, self-service very friendly, wooden benches and wooden tables

After every visit to Fehmarn there is a delicious meal in the Aalkate.

Fish lovers are in good hands here. The food is always very good and highly recommended with a view of the sea. However, you should reserve in advance in the evening, otherwise there may be waiting times.

Very good food - main course can be combined with various side dishes. Everything happens quickly. Self-service. Very friendly and accommodating.

Price-performance ratio simply no longer exists. Fish was delicious, no question about it, but over €30 for a cod fillet with a measly salad and a cola in a canteen atmosphere is simply disproportionate! Stremel salmon with honey mustard dressing to take away is also quite expensive but very tasty!

Super delicious food, very friendly staff! You get everything self-service and once you get the hang of it, you can get whatever your heart desires, from mega-tasty fish sandwiches to great, delicious meat and fish dishes with additional side dishes. Not cheap, but super good and high quality! Just “eat” something special!

The eel cat is awesome. Be sure to visit when on holiday on Fehmarn. Despite the self-service, everything fits. Great ambience.

Self-service, with pager for food ordering. Food very good. Great place

If you want to eat delicious fish, this is the place for you. The staff is very friendly. Always my pleasure.

Wir essen hier regelmäßig und sind noch nie enttäuscht worden. Eben leckerer Fisch, Fischbrötchen und vieles mehr! Die Preise sind absolut ok! Wer es billiger haben will muss zu McDonald’s gehen. Es waren alle zufrieden, wir kommen wieder.

Varied, rustic location, delicious and affordable fish dishes. Good logistics, very pleasant atmosphere despite self-service. In the entrance area there is additional opportunity to purchase fish snacks or smoked products to take away. Highly recommended and would love to come back again.

Beautiful view, very tasty food! You can choose the food, order it at the counter and then pick it up with a beeper when it's ready. All the dishes we have eaten here so far have been very good!

Great restaurant with delicious fish dishes and matching side dishes. Always a must when we are on Fehmarn. After the meal is before the meal: the store sells smoked fish, salads and sauces to take home.

Fish dishes at the highest level. Crossover classic fish dishes and those with a twist. Fish sandwiches very good. Fried fish, ahi tuna, bouillabaisse top. The ambience is totally cozy and hygge and in a great location with a view of the Fehmarnsund bridge and an atmospheric sunset boathouse and jetty. I just love being there every year.

Very nice rustic location with a view of the Baltic Sea. Great selection of smoked fish and more.

Food great. Always worth a visit

Nice fish restaurant with a sea view, very tasty dishes, Pteis performance = OK With fish cakes in the entrance area. Not suitable for families with small children, as the dining area facing the water is not very secure, even if the water there is only knee deep. Still recommended

Relatively inconspicuous from the outside, rustic on the inside with a yard that looks as if it had once been a stable, very nicely decorated, the staff very friendly and the food extremely tasty, but unfortunately the prices here are also very high. But you also get incredibly tasty food

Super nice fish restaurant, we sat right by the water. Everything fitted! Gladly again! Even if some complain that you have to get your own food and there is no service, you will be told this at the entrance. If that doesn't suit you, you can go somewhere else!

Lost the soul, overpriced, unfortunately the commercial idea has destroyed the ambience also due to the gigantism of the operator in the whole of Lemkenhafen, very bad, there is no need to talk about service

Food was super tasty. The house breading is awesome.
