Alte Überfahrt in Werder (Havel)

If you're looking for a top-class culinary experience, you can't miss the Alte Überfahrt in Werder (Havel). Awarded one Michelin star, this charming restaurant beautifully combines fine cuisine with a warm, family atmosphere. The location directly on the Havel is a dream. You sit in idyllic surroundings and enjoy the wonderful view of the water, which in itself offers a little break from everyday life. The restaurant exudes a wonderful cosiness - rustic and at the same time modern, furnished with great attention to detail. The kitchen? Simply fantastic! Every course is a surprise and an explosion of flavors. The dishes are cleverly composed and perfectly coordinated. Particularly noteworthy is the use of fresh, regional ingredients, which are showcased in an extraordinary way in every dish. You can taste the love for the craft and the dedication of the chefs in every bite. A menu that wonderfully combines creativity and tradition. Another highlight is the service: from the first moment you feel like a welcome guest. The staff is attentive but not intrusive, and the wine and food recommendations are always on point. The friendly warmth of the hosts rounds off the entire visit and ensures that you immediately feel comfortable and in good hands. The restaurant is perfect for special occasions, but also for a romantic dinner for two. Here, emphasis is not only placed on the culinary experience, but also on the overall feel-good factor - a visit to the “Alte Überfahrt” is much more than just dinner. It is a pleasure for all the senses and an invitation to experience the Havel from its most beautiful side. Absolutely recommended – a must for every foodie!

We are regular customers and come to the Alte Überfahrt every six months. Never disappointed so far. Does anyone know when you say to yourself that it was a really nice evening and you feel such a great feeling of happiness within you? It may of course be largely due to my wife :-) ... but certainly also a little to the crossing team. Thank you. Keep it up.

We had a very nice dinner with very attentive, calm service!

A real highlight for us. Especially when the weather is nice, right on the water is really something special. We'd love to come back!

Nice beer garden with opening hours that are difficult to research. When open, the service was very responsive.

Walk along the riverside circular path to the old crossing😁👍

We had a great evening from start to finish! We arrived and were greeted warmly but coolly. There were five of us and we also had 2 children with us, 9 and 12. The menu was varied, well thought out and (also important) very tasty (that's what we Brandenburgers say...). We thought it was great how varied the vegetables were presented, meat and fish were also really tasty, but you didn't even need them. A group member easily received a vegetarian menu following a prior request. The beverage accompaniment was great with and without alcohol, the explanations about the food were always presented in the right way and in a very friendly manner. I hate it when people talk to you for hours about every dish in a star restaurant. That was pleasant here and not the case at all, everything was fine. Even the children's conclusion was great, a great introduction to the foodie world. The location of the restaurant is also great, on the water and in an idyllic setting. Thank you for this great evening! We will come back and recommend this elegant, cool restaurant to every visitor to Brandenburg.

June 2024. - The three of us were able to enjoy the excellent, very enjoyable meal in the Alte Überfahrt. From the starter to the dessert we were completely thrilled. The restaurant management explained a lot in a very friendly manner without intruding on our privacy. Werder/Havel near Potsdam is a beautiful place that is further enhanced by this restaurant. The location of the hotel is very inviting, the ambience in the restaurant invites you to linger. An all-round successful visit. Highly recommended for that special occasion. Or just to have great food.

Nice restaurant right on the water. The service was nice and friendly, unfortunately there was no information or recommendations about the menu or drinks. Very unfortunate. However, the well-crafted menu lacked creative sophistication in terms of taste. The starter was shockingly flat - a little more flavor ingenuity wouldn't have hurt. Individual (main) products were simply lost in taste in the mass of ingredients used. Craft is important, but taste still comes first when it comes to food. The menu definitely wasn't bad in terms of taste, but it was never really outstanding. Relying solely on the craftsmanship and the products used is not enough for a gourmet restaurant. Three stars may not be enough, but four or more stars would simply be too much given the Alte Überfahrt's own standards.

You can't even buy water on Saturdays at 11:30 in the glorious sunshine, even though it says open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. outside. Poor service

We had a wonderful evening, everything went well. Very professional service from the boss, perfect wine recommendations and great creations, perfectly presented. We'll be back...

It was our first time in the "Alte Überfahrt" and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the restaurant with friends. Very nice atmosphere, warm, knowledgeable and attentive service, very good menu with exciting creations. We each had a 4-course menu. Once fish and three times meat. It was all very, very good and an experience. Only the milk calf didn't completely convince us. The wine accompaniment to the fish was also very well chosen and very fine. We have one more comment about the service: people spoke a little too quickly for our “older ears”, so we had to ask again. Overall an experience and the entire team did a great job. We'd love to come back!

Extremely relaxed, informal and yet intimate and cultivated atmosphere, thanks to a manageable number of tables. Excellent, personalized and very attentive service that kindly answers every question and knows how to explain the kitchen and cellar in detail. The 6-course menu is extremely balanced in taste and consistency and of course surprising! For example, the cauliflower florets with the presumably confit egg yolk with nut butter and trout caviar at the beginning: sounds simple, but it was already a promise to the palate that the next courses would also be of a high standard. Be sure to book the wine accompaniment! Excellently selected from all over Europe that not only harmonized perfectly with the food but also conveyed the taste. Certainly a small investment and not for every day, but you should definitely treat yourself to it on special occasions. In any case, we would like to come back.

We found Alte Überfahrt via the Michelin Guide app and were intrigued to visit this restaurant in beautiful Werder. Even though there is no parking directly at the restaurant, we found a free spot just a short walk away. We went for the six-course menu to fully experience what was offered. Service was excellent, and we were lucky enough to have the chef personally explain most of the courses. He explained each dish’s preparation and the origins of the ingredients in great Italian, adding a personal touch to our experience. Several dishes wonderfully captured nostalgic flavors and smells, reminiscent of childhood memories in Italy. Highlights were the Risotto Gratiniert, served as a dessert, and the Zicklein aus Iden. The risotto was especially memorable, with dried pine that perfectly balanced the flavors and added an exquisite touch. We very much enjoyed our visit to Alte Überfahrt and are eager to return.

The location is great, the interior is modern, the staff is qualified, the food is delicious and the wine pairing is excellent - every visit is a pleasure!

Excellent cuisine, very diverse and complex dishes, great ambience in the most beautiful old town location. With a little more attention to the guest the service would be perfect.

Excellent service, excellent food with selected wine accompaniment! We enjoyed a very nice evening in the 'Alte Überfahrt'.

Wonderful restaurant - excellent cuisine - great ambience... thoroughly recommended!!

Yesterday I attended a spectacular lunch menu event of several courses combined with a commented winetasting of the Austrian wine maker Schloss Gobelsburg. The cuisine is highly creative and at the same time very satisfying aimed at pleasing the guests rather than reflecting on the vanity of the restaurant. I can recommend this restaurant in every aspect!

A wonderful evening on the beautiful island of Werder, right on the shore. We had a great evening with friends and a great menu. The dishes were all very tasty and the wine pairing was perfectly matched. The host was very personable and the entire kitchen team did a fantastic job! We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much for this experience.

Here you can experience how star cuisine can be combined with reasonable portions. Thoroughly intelligent and original. The interpretation of the old German liver was enthusiastic and could turn even skeptics into liver lovers. Very good wine accompaniment and a pleasant ambience round off the evening. The island is pleasantly calm anyway and if you want you can camp 10 minutes from the restaurant ;-)

Star chef. A gift from our children for their wedding anniversary. Creative, but not breathtaking. No wonder the restaurant had almost no guests except the two of us - at these prices.

Great regional products refined with sophistication for maximum enjoyment. Very friendly service that also responds to special requests. A highly recommended star restaurant.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the menu. Everything was harmonious from the service by our host Patrick Schwatke, the compilation of the menu and the wine accompaniment. Thank you for the lovely evening

We treated ourselves to a visit to the Alte Überfahrt for our fifth wedding anniversary and went home happy after 3.5 hours of pure enjoyment. As host, Patrick Schwatke gave us a short-lived but wonderful evening. A big thank you of course to the entire kitchen team, who delivered all courses and intermediate courses on point. We had the Geniesserzeit menu as well as the wine accompaniment, which is definitely quite expensive in terms of price, but is reflected in the quality and service. We would definitely like to come back.

Sehr gutes Essen und preislich überaus in Ordnung. Das Menü kann je Tisch individuell zusammgestellt werden. Den alkoholfreien Champagner finde ich sensationell. Zum Espresso gibt es einen Schokoladen-Keks dazu.

Ein außergewöhnliches Restaurant. Der Service und das Essen waren fabelhaft. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Hier wird Essen (und Trinken) zum Event - das im denkmalgeschützten Haus modern aber gemütlich ausgestattete Restaurant lässt es an Ambiente nicht fehlen. Alles ist gut abgestimmt und fügt sich harmonisch in ein unauffälliges, aber nachhaltig solides Ganzes ein. Denn der Star ist hier das Essen und die Getränke, die auch vom Licht her perfekt in Szene gesetzt werden. So wie das Ambiente, traditionsbewusst aber eigenwillig, nachhaltig, zurückhaltend aber doch perfekt in der Wirkung werden hier lokale Erzeugnisse auf höchstem Niveau und doch bodenständig präsentiert. Die überaus kreative und gut moderierte Weinbegleitung dazu rundet den Genuss nach oben hin ab, sodass alle Sinne auf angenehme, unkomplizierte Art eingebunden werden und das mindestens viergängige Menu zu einem homogenen Event zusammenwachsen lassen. Wer sich darauf einlässt, erlebt ein kulinarisches Feuerwerk mit flüssiger Untermalung die ihresgleichen sucht. Kein Event für jeden Tag, aber für jeden besonderen Tag das Richtige.

Das Ambiente wirkt eher gediegen, aber der Service war sehr aufmerksam und das Essen war wirklich gut. Es hat lecker geschmeckt und wir hatten einen schönen Abend.

Sich einfach mal verwöhnen lassen. Für alle, die das Besondere lieben

Einfach ein lauschiges Plätzchen im Freiluft-Cafe', direkt an der "Dampfer"anlegestelle. Frischer Kuchen und Kaffee aus der eigenen Rösterei machen den Genuss perfekt. Sperlinge sind wachsame Begleiter der Einkehr.

Super Essen gute Küche das Personal ist freundlich

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit köstlichem Essen. Wir kommen wieder!

Das Lokal macht erst spät auf zum Essen. Das außen Gartengelände ist nett und übersichtlich. Mit wunderschönen Ausblick. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Toilette ist sauber, ein paar Handtücher wären schön, statt Toilette papie.

Kurze Pause mit dem Rad. Schöner Aussenbereich mit Möglichkeit etwas zu essen und zu trinken. Super

War vor 3wochen da und es war sehr schön bei euch

Schnelle Bedienung, Ideal zum Kaffee trinken im Freien

Ein geschmackvoll eingerichteter Gastraum mit Blick auf die Havel. Freundliche zuvorkommende Bedienung. Ein köstliches Menü mit sehr guter Getränkeauswahl, insbesondere das nicht alkoholhaltige Angebot.

Fantastisches Essen, regional und saisonal. Habt den besten Service in diesem Restaurant erlebt - sehr aufmerksam und unproblematisch auch bei Vorliegen von Nahrungsmittelallergien. Wir kommen wieder!

Sehr gutes Essen und freundliches Personal.

Danke für diesen tollen Abend. Das Essen war phantastisch, genauso wie der Service und das Ambiente. Wir haben uns rundum sehr wohl. Auch für unseren Sohn wurde eine tolle Alternative zum Menü gekocht und auch er war mehr als begeistert. Wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind, werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Wir hatten einen tollen, entspannten und leckeren Abend. Essen war lecker und schön angerichtet, der Küchenchef hat uns persönlich Erklärungen geliefert, die Weine waren alle gut (mal etwas anderes als Wein zu einem Gang wäre auch interessant) und der Service rundum super, unaufdringlich und trotzdem persönlich. Wir hatten einen sehr besonderen Abend und kommen sicher wieder.

A modern restaurant in the heart of a beautiful old area. Right on the water you are greeted with a chic interior. Food was thought out and given care to keep the ingredient lists small and elegant. A multitude of ideas yet shown in a simple way. Go for the 5 course tasting menu and dont be afraid to get a little messy while eating. My only complaint was service felt a tad cold and animals are allowed inside.

Selbst mein Mann aus dem Norden hat das Wort „weltbewegend“ verwendet. Ganz ehrlich! Das heißt was! Das machen wir wieder. Es war ein herzerwärmendes Erlebnis vom Essen bis zur Unterhaltung mit dem Gastgeber! Absolute Empfehlung! Danke.

Das war genau die richtige Wahl für mein Geburtstagsessen! Durch die Besichtigung des Schlossgartens Petzow bin ich vor einiger Zeit auf das Restaurant Alte Überfahrt aufmerksam geworden, denn das Gemüse wird von dort bezogen. Ein erstklassiges Restaurant, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, total freundlicher Service und natürlich ganz wunderbares Essen. Wer es gerne etwas exquisiter mag und gutes Essen genießen kann, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Es hat einfach rundum alles gestimmt. Da lohnt auch eine Anreise aus Berlin. Absolut empfehlenswert und zurecht mit einem Michelin Stern ausgezeichnet. Danke an Patrick Schwatke und sein Team für diesen kulinarischen Hochgenuss. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und vielleicht beim nächsten Mal die Terrasse ausprobieren.

Wir waren gestern zu sechst Abendessen im Restaurant. Super-tolle, freundliche Atmosphäre, Gastronomie auf höchster Ebene. Kostenintensiv aber… Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt! Wir kommen wieder und wünschen dem jungen Team alles Gute.

Immer wieder eine Freude in der Alten Überfahrt. Tolles Menü, schönes Ambiente, sehr aufmerksamer und charmanter Gastgeber.

Wir waren zum ersten Mal als Gäste in einem Sterne- Restaurant. Die Weine waren hervorragend und zu dem brillianten Menü perfekt abgestimmt. Trotz dass wir alleine im Restaurant waren, hat uns der Inhaber das Gefühl von Unwohlsein komplett genommen, es war eine wundervolle gemütliche, fast schon eine wohnzimmerähnliche Atmosphäre. Äußerst empfehlenswert, die Preise sind mehr als gerechtfertigt und der Stern zurecht vergeben. Wir kommen gern Mal wieder. Vielen Dank an das Team und liebe Grüße aus der sächsischen Schweiz.

Ate here on Saturday evening (4ppl). Service was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Chose the 5 course menu with wine pairing. Each course was delicious and well thought through. There was no showing off, this was talent in preparation and selection of produce and and the wine matching was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Ein Ort der sehr guten Küche und Service. Jeder Bissen und jeder Schluck ein Gedicht. Ist mehr als sein Preis wert. Tolles talentiertes Team mit immer neuen Ideen für die Zubereitung von lecker Speisen.

Excellent food and wines, great service and beautiful location. Looking forward to the next visit!

Außerordentlich guter Service in sehr schönem Ambiente. Das Essen war ein Geschmackserlebnis

Endlich ein Michelin Stern Restaurant in Werder! Wir waren dort bereits zweimal zu Gast und haben u.a. meinen Geburtstag in größerer Runde gefeiert. Die Menüzusammenstellung, begleitende Weine und Service waren stets gut. Auch wenn die letzte Geschmacksexplosion teilweise fehlt, ist der Stern berechtigt und bleibt hoffentlich lang erhalten. In jedem Fall eine echte Bereicherung für Werder!
