Alte Räucherei Ellerbek - Restaurant, Bar & Events in Kiel

Absolutely recommended! We were there on Maundy Thursday with 7 people and celebrated my 60th birthday there. I've eaten there several times. This time too it was a real treat!!! Most of them had a rump steak with mushrooms and fried potatoes and were absolutely thrilled with it. The other food was very tasty. Special requests were responded to very nicely and we all received our food together at the same time. Ambience is original because it is actually an old smokehouse.

From the outside the restaurant is rather inconspicuous. But when you walk through the front door you are overcome with a wow experience. The food is super tasty, the service is friendly. Simply perfect. If I didn't live so far away, this would be my favorite place.

Good food, friendly staff, nice that the old smoking ovens are still there.

It's been a long time since we've had such bad service as we did here. We reserved a table, arrived and waited, waited and waited. 3 tables in front of us got the card even though they came later. The waitress at the next table took away the cards and passed them to two tables. Left the restaurant after 30 minutes. We had the gourmet block, I stated this when making the reservation, maybe that was the reason. Had to give the 1 star so I could move forward.

We stopped in spontaneously and had a great meal! Highly recommended, good prices! Very friendly service!

Great, rustic atmosphere. There were 6 of us who ate there and we all enjoyed it very much. The young waiter was very refreshing, friendly and attentive. We would love to come back...

Home cooking can be found here. Always tasty and filling. It's worth it, I'll always come back as usual

Very tasty schnitzel with hollondaise

Tasty, good service, good value for money

Were there for the first time. We liked it. You should reserve. Well attended.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food, decent portions. We'd love to come back

Always good, good food, good service and also good prices

Very tasty food. We were here for the first time today and were very surprised. Parts of the old smokehouse have been preserved and integrated into the facility. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The children's wishes were taken into account. Price performance top. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant. We would love to come back.

Whenever we are on holiday in Laboe we come here to eat. It's always perfect. Everything has tasted great so far 👍🏻

The smoking ovens are still there and that makes everything so beautiful... I remember all of it from when the Wiese fish smokehouse still existed.

Restaurant in an impressive former fish smokehouse, which has been lovingly and tastefully restored. The menu offers something for every taste, whether fish, meat or vegetarian, the service is attentive and friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

The food is very good and the service is friendly and reliably courteous. The only thing I didn't give full marks for was the actually nice ambience, as it can be very loud when the restaurant is full. If you can sit outside, the volume is of course not an issue.

Basically, I only write reviews of really bad and really good experiences. We were in this location yesterday with 8 people and we were generally satisfied, but there are still some criticisms. First of all, there was only one service person in a restaurant that was initially full. She was very friendly but absolutely overwhelmed. It took about 25 minutes before we were able to order dessert and about the same time passed until dessert arrived. By the way, at that point the restaurant was only about a third full. The main courses were delicious but everyone at the table agreed that the side dishes such as fried potatoes and fries could have been more generous. That was a little too little. The sauce on the grill plate was very tasty and the burger was cooked medium, which indicated fresh meat. However, the chicken was very dry and fried way too long. Nevertheless, the food overall was very harmonious and tasty and the homemade tiramisu and the chocolate cake were particularly worth mentioning. We will definitely give the restaurant a second chance and then hope that there will be enough staff.

Good morning, I was actually very disappointed. Eating out there at Christmas time is not that easy for vegetarians or vegans. Unfortunately, I don't eat fish or meat and was hoping that there would be at least two alternatives. (Only the Christmas menu was available, which is fine.) There was only one vegetarian dish, which could also have been vegan. The dish itself didn't sound bad and I didn't think anything else of it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed when I received it. It was a vegetarian duo, with a pumpkin zucchini dumpling and a spinach herder cheese puff pastry bag including salsa sauce and sunflower pesto. The combination didn't quite fit and unfortunately it just had no taste. Paying €23.90 for this was not justified. Unfortunately, the portion size didn't fill you up either. Maybe in the future think about how you could have done it differently or maybe choose another alternative. Best regards

We were in this restaurant for the first time today with 10 people. The reviews were "promising", but we cannot understand the positive reviews. The service staff were, well, let's call it trying to cope with the full restaurant, but were visibly overwhelmed. Questions about additional or even different drinks were not even asked. So I only got something to drink when I ordered it again. The starters were good so far, the beef tartare was good. The soup, on the other hand, is oversalted, but probably freshly made. Our food, apart from 3 fish dishes, which were "OK", was a total failure. Complained. Wasn't charged by the boss either. The BOEFF was tough and hard, the beans were burnt, and the duchess potatoes were probably a lean finished product. The sauce also tasted like flavor enhancers, apparently powder was added to it. That's not why I go to a restaurant and it has nothing to do with cooking. The drinks were all ok. The dessert was OK. Well, ice cream from a packet is something we can all do at home. In addition, a number of dishes were no longer in stock. It's a shame, the calculations for the holidays probably didn't work out. The men's toilet then gave me the rest. There was urine on the tiled floor in front of the urinals, the rest of the floor was completely sticky, paper towels on the floor and the sink was past its prime. All in all, we cannot and will not recommend this restaurant.

The food was really great, whether it was meat, fish or alternative.

Always good, fresh and appetizing

It was really nice. Even though it was very well attended, we were not overlooked.

It's just a shame that the parking lot is very small

Very nice atmosphere, a menu that leaves nothing to be desired, very friendly service and very tasty food.

I can only recommend... If you wish, you can also get small portions. The service is a dream... If I'm in Kiel again, I'll go there again... The schnitzel and the sauce were to die for...

Delicious food, nice service, good price-performance ratio, the old smoking ovens and the furnishings create a special ambience.

Certainly the first address in Ellerbek. The former fish smokehouse offers the room height for tolerable acoustics, and the black smoking chambers on the back wall convey authenticity. Upscale, down-to-earth cuisine, fish and meat. Good and affordable wine by the glass.

Very friendly and fast service.

Nice restaurant where everyone from grandma to granddaughter can get their money's worth. I come here regularly with my family because the menu and the rustic but not old-fashioned atmosphere appeal to all ages. The prices are okay for the quality. Every now and then there are slight fluctuations in the quality of the food, but they are not so serious that it still doesn't taste good. Everyone also really enjoyed the varied brunch buffet. I particularly like that there are a few special beers on the menu.

Very good food, toilets not good at all

Great service...great location...great food

Yesterday I was invited to a big birthday at the Alte Räucherei in Ellerbek. It was an all-round successful evening with great food & delicious drinks, super attentive service and a cozy, warm atmosphere. The extensive buffet was really delicious, the dishes were sophisticated and lovingly prepared. Overall, the smokehouse team really delivered! Thank you for the great evening! Ps: I know from my own experience that lunch here is also highly recommended!

Old smokehouse Ellerbek - Restaurant Friendly service Ordering drinks and service was quite quick, and very attentive to reordering during the evening. I liked the food, cordon bleu, fries, "greens" and hollandaise sauce. Prices ok so far. Ambiance OK, rustic cozy. Tables are well spaced out in the restaurant, not so close together.

Super tasty food and really nice owner. Highly recommended for small and large groups! Not only excellent service, but also commitment to sailing (Opti League).

Nice smokehouses. :-) great atmosphere. The service was understaffed but otherwise in a good mood.

Very cozy, food well, not bad but not 🔨

All in all great. Reservation required. Also great events

Super tasty and the price is right too. We'll be back.

We had a good time here for the second time. To start there was the mixed appetizer platter. Here the two of us shared the amount for one person, which was completely sufficient. The main course was followed by the “Schnitzel Holsteiner Style” and the “large smoked fish platter”. Both dishes were well prepared and very tasty. There are only small deductions due to the lack of supply. For both the main courses and the desserts, some of the dishes available on the menu were no longer available. It's always a shame when you choose a dish several times and then it's no longer available.

So I can't recommend the place!! I was traveling as part of the Schlemmerblock. After what felt like half an hour we ordered 2 schnitzels with mushroom sauce and fries. Smooth 6 The schnitzels were so thin that if they hadn't been breaded you would have been able to see through them. The potatoes served with it (should have been fries) were probably thrown raw into the fat and left there until you only had fat deposits in your mouth. No, that doesn't work at all!!!! We give it a straight 6 for

Delicious German cuisine in a great atmosphere, served by a nice team 😊 Thank you

Great schnitzel (Wiener and Jäger), delicious fries, nice service. Gladly again.

Food plentiful and tasty. Home cooking

Very nice atmosphere, food and service top

Price performance for the food is right. Service is attentive We felt very comfortable. We'll be back

The external impression may be deceiving at first glance. An old brick factory building on the side of the road. But inside it has charm and the food was absolutely outstanding! A successful farewell dinner after a wonderful holiday.

Hidden paradise A really great restaurant with very tasty food. From schnitzel, burgers to fish. I ate a cordon bleu with a great breading and cheddar as cheese in the schnitzel. In summer there is a cozy beer garden in the inner courtyard. Highly recommended

Very cosy Irish session, with good beer (Kilkenny) and food (spareribs with Guinness glaze 🤤) Would come again.

A very cozy restaurant with a small beer garden. In addition to the fish dishes, the kitchen also offers delicious burgers and schnitzel variations. Our waitress was very personable and always there for us. A delicious tiramisu to say goodbye should definitely be planned. Thank you and see you soon

Quaint restaurant with a garden. Very friendly staff and the food is very good. Not recommended.

A very cozy bar and restaurant Invites you to linger

Since we didn't have a reservation, we had to wait about an hour for a table. But it was worth it. Whether it's a starter or a main course, top quality is really good. The innkeeper gave us two more distribution boxes because we had to wait so long. Super nice. Staff very friendly. Gladly again but with reservation

There's just a great atmosphere here. The food is really excellent and the price-performance ratio is right. The service is simply great. We will definitely come back.

Always tasty and good price ratio. Nice service. I'd love to come there.

Super tasty and good price-performance ratio

I ate schnitzel hollandaise today and was really looking forward to it. The schnitzel was as thin as paper and the fried potatoes were dripping with fat. It was unreasonable, now I have to take a stomach tablet. My husband had a Galloway burger. Upon request, if the burger was too was big enough, we were told: definitely, they will definitely be full!!!!😉We couldn't think of that. The burger was a joke and then overpriced. In short: it's not possible!!!

Lots of interesting dishes to choose from that all seem to be prepared with care. Good food at reasonable prices served with kindness and attention.

The first thing you noticed was the smell of smokehouse, which is part of the charm. The food was delicious and not the run-of-the-mill taste and nice and hot. The service was friendly.

Very tasty restaurant located high in the north (Kiel). We ate fish, once panfish with a very tasty mustard sauce, fried potatoes 😋 grilled vegetables and the second dish was the pike fillet. We had very friendly service, the service was attentive and quick. If we are in Kiel again we would be happy to come back.

Very nice atmosphere with friendly staff. There are around 6 parking spaces in the backyard. With luck you can also park easily on the side streets. We had ordered bruschetta in advance. Very lovingly arranged on a slate plate, nothing to complain about in terms of taste. For the main course we had the rum steak and the chicken schnitzel. The rump steak was served with herb butter (tasted like homemade herb butter), fries and a small salad (fresh). The doneness was as desired. The chicken schnitzel was also served with fries and salad. Both very tasty, we'll be back!

Nice location! More family-like approach.

Nice restaurant very nice staff. Ambience, of course, great.

A beautiful restaurant with very good food and nice staff. We'll definitely come back.

Very nice restaurant. We'd love to come back

It was our first time there and we would love to come back. Nice atmosphere, delicious food and friendly service.

The ventilation probably doesn't work at all or poorly. It stinks of all frying fat. Ambiance is a bit too dark.

The best restaurant on the east bank of Kiel! The food is super tasty and the portions are generous. Special requests are welcomed and you are always served with a smile.

The ambience is something special, we like it very much. The food is really delicious and the price is not cheap, but reasonable for the quality. The Hamburger Panfish is great! The service was very nice and accommodating. We really enjoy eating there. The restaurant is also suitable for larger groups.

Was there for whiskey tasting... great job... very suitable menu for the whiskey... highly recommended

Great food, great ambience, great events and above all... normal prices. All in all, this restaurant is super great.

Very tasty food. I can especially recommend the fish dishes to everyone. The service was nice and courteous, even in a chatty mood. When it comes to the ambience, you have to be aware that it is an old industrial company in an industrial area. Anyone expecting cosiness and cozy niches will be disappointed.

Had stomach and intestines after the currywurst.

Very friendly staff, the food was delicious, we just found the prices very high. But we felt very comfortable there.

Delicious food with friendly staff in a rustic location

A very nice evening with delicious food

I had the “Alte Räucherei” grill pan and two pilsners from the barrel. But the sauce was completely over-peppery and the consistency was also very flaky. The beef had a very strong flavor to it that I couldn't quite place, and the other two meats were fine. The beer was cold and tasty, but unfortunately quite stale. Service was top and the atmosphere was also very nice. When the restaurant is full, the place is very loud.

We come here at least once a year. Then we'll be there for lunch. The portions are great. You will definitely be full. On the website you can inquire in advance about the lunch menu for a period of 2 weeks. But there are also delicious alternatives that are not really more expensive. When it comes to the ambience, I can say that I like it when a business tells a story. She does. It's an old fish smokehouse. The ovens can still be seen. Simply class. The staff is always friendly. The innkeeper with his 2 border collies is also a friendly personality. The 2 dogs are “very” well behaved and love to be petted. But please ☝️: Always ask! I think that's how it should be. Way too much written again 😜😂. But I can't keep it short and sweet. With that in mind, thank you very much for your attention

A very cozy restaurant. delicious

Very good food, but with a lot of noise. Limited number of parking spaces

Cozy atmosphere with always very nice and attentive service. Price-performance ratio is definitely right. The food was always tasty and plentiful. Good, down-to-earth dishes - guaranteed to have something for every taste. Many regional providers are included. I also think it's nice that the old smoking ovens are still there and pictures show everything from back then. Be sure to check out the homepage www.alte-räucherei.de, because there are also various (music) events taking place in the old smokehouse. For example, we were told The Irish Folk evening was highly recommended - we ordered Irish Shepard Pie (very tasty). Last time there were a number of musicians, including a harp, at the start. Next plan is to test Sunday brunch.

Rustic and cozy atmosphere. The food was top from the starter to the dessert! Fresh fish, farmer's breakfast, currywurst with homemade curry sauce, burgers, mascapone cream, chocolate cake simply delicious! We will be back! Unfortunately we were back again. The meat ordered medium was cooked through, the pan fish was so roasted on one side that it was almost burnt. Unfortunately the salmon was also very dry. The prices were increased, which would be fundamentally appropriate if the goods were tip top, but unfortunately that wasn't the case this time. Mannheimers could also buy cappuccino, espresso or similar. The machine broke at Easter. A pity!

A thoroughly recommended restaurant. Friendly service, delicious food with good value for money and, above all, very family-friendly. A great little corner with a sufficiently large selection of toys and children's chairs so that even the little ones can enjoy their stay. The kids are thought of in many ways, whether with the meals or the extra children's drinks and that they get their food first so that they don't have to wait too long. Class! We are totally thrilled and have been there twice within a week and it shouldn't be our last visit today. Keep it up!

Delicious food. Nice atmosphere with the old smoking ovens. Nice service.

Attracted by positive feedback, we now set off for Ellerbek. We were looking for a nice, friendly restaurant with good food. Have we found it? Let's say conditionally. The food was quite ok. Unfortunately, the price is still within the usual range today. Cheap and good food was yesterday. The “Old Smokehouse” looks very old. The wood-bound menus have seen better days. Unfortunately there weren't enough and so one of us had to wait for a free ticket. We could already tell that the waitress was very inattentive because she was initially alone in the dining room, which wasn't even half full. At some point we were able to order burgers, salads and schnitzel from the very extensive menu. The waiting times were ok. At some point the drinks came. Bottled Coke, that's good. Alster with a lot of effervescence, well. Meanwhile another employee had received the service. She at least had an apron and was identified as a service worker. The colleague in jeans and a sweater seemed tired, slow and unmotivated. In general, the mood was languid, underlined by piano music in the background. No feel-good atmosphere. At some point the food came. Unfortunately only 2 of 3 dishes. The burger was noted, but was forgotten and delivered much later. Happened. But it also underlines what is going wrong. Outside on the veranda the cooks took turns smoking. Only one had a chef's jacket, the others were in everyday clothes. The smoke drifted through the open kitchen door into the dining room. Somehow nothing fit together. There was little motivation. Downfall or default setting. Not a nice evening for us. After eating it took forever until it was cleared away. Dessert/coffee was not asked for. We then sat for a while with empty glasses. We weren't asked for any more drinks. We paid and left without a word. Oh yes, the food. The dishes were ok. Burger good, salad ok and schnitzel fried in too little oil and very dark here and there. But knocked yourself. You can do it. Conclusion: Not worth another visit for me. Not a place to spend a nice evening.

It was again very tasty. The service was fine. Because it was so full, it was unfortunately very loud!

The restaurant is generally decorated in a pleasant style with a subtle ambience. The dishes didn't convince me; the fried potatoes were fried very unevenly and were swimming in oil. The burger was very small and there was just a small bowl of fries for an extra charge of €3 (for the €16.80 burger). The dish that attracted me to this restaurant in the first place (Irish Shepards Pie) was not available that evening. The drinks weren't cheap either, my non-alcoholic beer cost 0.33

Very cozy and there are also delicious little things

Nice atmosphere, nice staff and great food. We spontaneously decided to eat here and don't regret it at all. We called in advance to ask for a table and that was possible. Our food was on the table after just 20 minutes. Hot and delicious. We can really only recommend this.

Please don't eat anything here!

Very friendly staff, good home cooking, clean, I would go there again at any time

Absolute tip. Fantastic food, everything is just “great”.

For the price there was an excellent meal for the three of us (grill pan, rump steak with fried potatoes and Shepard's pie)! The rump steak was ordered “medium” and that’s how it was served! Quaint and cozy atmosphere! Attentive service! We'll definitely come back again.

Super delicious food in a very nice atmosphere at fair prices.

1/2 chicken dry as if grilled twice. Hard to eat.

Always delicious. We have been here a few times and are always thrilled. In addition to the fantastic cuisine, it is also the friendly, casual atmosphere that keeps us coming here regularly. Keep it up.

The furnishings are rustic and elegant. The food was great, with home-made fries (that's what I'm saying). A Holsteiner schnitzel as it should be. There was nothing wrong with the service. Friendly and attentive.

The service was very friendly. The food, however, was an absolute disaster... Unfortunately, it started with the drinks that the simple ingredients were no longer in stock. That can happen sometimes, but it lasted the whole evening. For the starter, the ingredients for the salad weren't even available and something salad-like was improvised, it was fresh and still delicious :( Unfortunately the food didn't get any better with the main course, which took a long time to arrive. There was also a salad missing for the main course and nothing as a replacement? The vegetables just seemed to be frozen vegetables. For the price it really isn't possible! And I didn't find the actual ingredients described on the memory card on my plate. (Walnut cauliflower schnitzel) For the other main course (Irish Shapard's Pie) The ingredients were completely wrong as described on the menu! According to the menu, strips of beef, onions, carrots should be braised in Guinness. But instead came beef and pork cubes in some watery with mushrooms something? That was a bit unsavory. And the mashed potatoes under the cheese weren't there either. Overall, both dishes were completely wrong. When we brought it up we were offered a different dish or a discount. No apology and that from the manager. Furthermore, the prices of the memory card on the website do not match the memory card in the restaurant. On the whole, it is really “not” recommended to eat here.

Very large selection, authentic atmosphere

Hatte tatsächlich noch Hunger nach dem Burgerchen... Aber die Süßkartoffelfritten haben es wieder rausgerissen;-). Ansonsten eine Empfehlung, gehen wir bestimmt wieder mal hin!
