Borwin - Hafenrestaurant in Rostock

Beautiful location on the Baltic Sea and wonderful food and service. Waitress even helped us carry our luggage up to the restaurant as this was a stopover on our way to Hamburg.

Everything I experienced there was simply perfect. The service is friendly, the food tastes really delicious and the place has a maritime charm. When you come in you are greeted with a smile and shown straight to the table. The staff are charismatic, the environment is fabulous. I recommend the restaurant to anyone who loves the harbor.

Very good food, nice atmosphere and, above all, extremely friendly service and customer service from Jules! 🤩

If you like fish in a wide variety of varieties, this is the right place for you!

Simply perfect. The food was so beautifully and deliciously prepared and the service was also a top team. Thanks to Julis we had a really nice evening, even though we drove 400 km. Correct me if the name is wrong ;)

Top restaurant in a very nice, authentic environment. Very good yessen us very attentive friendly staff.

The food was super tasty and the service was super friendly 🥰❤️

Highly recommended! Excellent fish dishes!

Restaurant Review: Great Food, But Not Accessible The restaurant offers a diverse and interesting menu, with delicious food and generous portions. However, service was a bit slow, though the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are stairs at the entrance, and the restrooms are on the second floor with difficult access. Overall, a great dining experience—unless accessibility is a concern.

Discovered by chance, simply delicious, friendly service, brilliant fish restaurant. Very happy again

The seafood platter was the biggest highlight, with a variety of seafood that was delicious together. The turbot risotto was also very good, the fish was tender and juicy. The waiter/ress was with a smile and helped us delay our arrival. Would recommend to everyone, similar to Rostock.

The first time I was very satisfied. I had a dish from the fish menu with two side dishes of my choice and I was very satisfied. The second time I was disappointed. The pasta surf and turf consisted of 2 shrimps in a curry sauce that was too firm but tasted good and some fillet flakes that were visible under the microscope. Which I can't recognize as fillet tips. Either way, the price-performance ratio isn't right here. Mam can eat well there with some dishes, but the PL ratio isn't right.

We can only recommend this fish restaurant

Absolutely nice, friendly and funny staff and delicious food. What more could you want....

Definitely in the top 5 of our favorite restaurants in Rostock - even though it was only our first time there. Great, very friendly service, extremely tasty food at reasonable prices with great quality. Children are very welcome and this is perhaps the best menu for children that I have seen so far at very family-friendly prices and great quality. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we will come back more often now 😊

We were guests at a family celebration. This was very extensive and lasted until 2 a.m. Excellent with all courses and drinks. Friendly and attentive until the last minute. Thank you to the Borwin team.

It was very nice again, but the fact that you made a reservation and then had to wait another 20 minutes wasn't so nice. And then not even a drink on the house

Fish soup and sole with fried potatoes were great! Great ambience, super friendly service. We'll be back!!

The monkfish was incredibly good and the service was outstanding!

Delicious food, lots of fish selection. Nice atmosphere close to the water. Table was very lovingly decorated.

The Boavin restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere and very good service. The fish was excellent, as was the wine and dessert. Unfortunately, the tomato salad was far too cold, which greatly affected the enjoyment. In response to my complaint, a cucumber salad was brought to me as a replacement without asking, which I found to be inappropriate. Unfortunately there was no apology. Overall it was ok, but a second visit is unlikely.

Super tasty and fresh; I really didn't think salmon and teriyaki would go so well together.👍 Condition tried, but a little too often for me 😅 Be sure to reserve seats - I didn't think so many people would show up after 5 p.m. 🙈

Simple amazing seafood restaurant...the seafood plate is so tasty!

Fish to the point. The mushroom risotto is also highly recommended. An extra point for what I think is a very successful additional spirits menu.

We came in spontaneously. It was really worth it! Everything was great.

Based on the recommendation and the positive reviews, we planned our Valentine's Day at Borwin. The restaurant makes a very good impression. Lots of cozy seating areas and the menu promises a pleasant evening. Unfortunately we were given a table where we heard deafening noise from the kitchen. Working at the counter was also extremely loud, so we had to keep interrupting our conversation. It was also extremely annoying that the audience and the service were walking past us extremely closely behind us. The light at the table itself was very dark, which made it difficult for me to read the menu. You would have to think about whether you want to do that to your guests. The service was very friendly and helpful. To eat yourself. The fish was excellent. Only the side dishes didn't taste great. Sticky fried potatoes with no particular taste. Vegetables partly bitter and with a sauce? poured over it which tasted like nothing. The rice with mushrooms was also very bland. The presentation of the dish on the plate was good.

Highly recommended. Very cozy, great service and super delicious food. We would love to come back 👍

Very rustic restaurant right at the Rostock harbor. We made a reservation in advance by phone because we were traveling with a dog, but that wasn't a problem and the lady on the phone was extremely nice. Cozy atmosphere with lots to look at. The waitress was very attentive and even brought our dog some water. The menu has a wide selection, primarily fish. We had oysters and scallops as starters. Unfortunately my wine was forgotten, but after asking, it came immediately. The starter was excellent and is highly recommended. We had to wait quite a long time for our main course and were a bit disappointed as the Surf & Turf was “just” a lobster tail which didn’t contain much meat. At a price of €49 we would have expected a little more but there was nothing wrong with the taste! Only that the portion was a bit small in our opinion. In the case of the “Surf & Turf” pasta, I would say that the meat was not fillet meat, because it was simply too “tough” to bite. In summary, this restaurant is really a recommendation because we definitely enjoyed it, even if it didn't meet all of our expectations.

Prima Essen, super Service , der nicht 0815 ist und ein sehr authentischer Ort. Preise sind nicht unbedingt niedrig , das Preis - Leistungsverhätnis stimmt unserer Meinung nach aber. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Unfortunately, all four fish dishes we ordered were overcooked and the fish was dry.

Das Essen im Borwin war wunderbar! Leckeres Tatar und ein wunderbares Steinbeisserfilet rundeten den Abend ab. Dazu eine sehr kompetente Bedienung, die auch gern bei der Weinauswahl behilflich war. Fazit: Sehr zu empfehlen! …und unbedingt reservieren!

Unfortunately, the service (and a little bit of the food) was extremely poor. The service has now become very flat with the "head waitress" who comes across as extremely artificial and fake. The “boss” shouts at the employees/colleagues and is totally acting up. We miss Gunnar! The service was still served with heart.

Very nice place with a great menu and fish options. Friendly staff, bit busy surroundings in the restaurant

A cozy but elegant fish restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and unobtrusive service, which I really appreciate. The food is beautifully presented and tasty, but I expected a bit more variety of Baltic fish on the menu.

Nice and cozy location and friendly service. The food was well rounded and beautifully presented. A diverse selection of spirits and wines. Toilet 🚽 clean. In terms of price, you can expect dishes to start at around 20 euros.

Thank you Borwin team for a beautiful ambience and delicious food on the occasion of our Executive Board and Supervisory Board start of the year on January 7th, 2025.

The inconspicuous famous shop on the river bank has relatively high meal prices, but the business is still very good. The mixed seafood platter, salmon pasta, and risotto are delicious, but the curry pasta is a pity that it is too sweet.

We were there spontaneously on December 31st. eat for three. It was a great evening with good service recommendations. The main courses were great. We had three different fish dishes and all were very good. I/we can simply recommend it. Thank you for the great evening.

Very nice restaurant with attentive service. We were there spontaneously with 12 people and everyone was thrilled with the taste.

The food and service were excellent.. Thank you again to your team

The best restaurant experience in Germany in a long time. The dishes were exquisite. The wine is excellent and suitable and the service is competent, friendly and always there! Dining is fun.

The ambience looks very nice and cozy, the view is also beautiful. I ordered a fish platter that tasted great and would love to eat here again👍🏼

Das beste Restaurant der Stadt! …und deshalb sollte man unbedingt vorher reservieren! Frischer Fisch, schmackhafte Beilagen (der Ruccola-Salat ist ein Gedicht) und eine freundliche Bedienung rundeten das Geschäftsessen positiv ab. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Very good 👍 can only be recommended

A very friendly and open-minded service. It was very nice and we will definitely come back.

We were here once 2 years ago and again today. The food here still tastes as great as last time and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. If you are in Rostock, a visit to the Borwin harbor restaurant is a must, at least for us.

Pleasantly stylish furnishings, very friendly service and excellent cuisine.

Nice place to stay and the food was also very tasty 😆

Super delicious food and friendly staff

So far everything was fine...unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food, even though the shop was quite empty. Price-performance doesn't really fit...The restaurant is also clean, but there is room for improvement...cutlery was dirty and the glasses could have been clearer.

Tolle Location, schönes Ambiente, freundliche und kompetente Bedienung und das Essen in Top Qualität! Wir kommen wieder!

We interrupted our return journey by train from Stralsund to Berlin in Rostock for 3 hours to eat here. Arrived at the restaurant at 3:50 p.m. and our anticipation was suddenly dampened - on the folding board in front of the entrance it says "kitchen break from 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m." The friendly waitress specifically asked in the kitchen whether anything else would be possible. Unfortunately no, was the answer. It's a shame, so we had to make do with a steakhouse chain nearby. What's particularly annoying for us, however, is that Google shows continuous opening times from 12:00 - 0:00 on this page.

Der Besuch lohnt sich! Kommen oft aus Hamburg angereist. Das Borwin ist für uns ein MUSS in Rostock. Sehr gemütliches Ambiente, sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung, sehr gutes Speisen- und Getränkeangebot auf hohem Niveau! Es ist immer wieder ein tolles Erlebnis. Auch bei wachsender Konkurrenz werden wir das Borwin weiterhin sehr gern besuchen und freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal.

Wunderbare Location. Wer Fisch liebt und gutes Ambiente sowie sehr guten Service schätzt, der ist hier genau richtig. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Sehr schön, wie immer. Lecker Essen, tolles Ambiente, leider sehr laut.

we had a nice day today. that was super-friendly service and also delicious food. We are satisfied and would like to come back!😊

Sorry, we haven't been there for a while, that should change. Very good service, which unfortunately you can't find that often anymore. The selection of drinks leaves nothing to be desired. The food rounds things off. Simply top 👍❤️

Whenever we are in Rostock, Borwin is a must for us. We love it there. The service is great, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy, great view of the water, a double pleasure on the terrace, especially in summer. Price performance is absolutely right here. I generally recommend a reservation ☝🏻

Das Borwin ist ein hervorragendes Restaurant mit einer Vielzahl von super leckeren Fischgerichten. Fleischgerichte findet man ebenfalls auf der Karte. Die Damen und Herren im Service sind sehr freundlich und immer aufmerksam. Im Borwin fühlt man sich als sehr wohl und erlebt einen schönen Abend.

Nach langer Abstinenz wegen eines enttäuschten Besuchs im Borwin eine erneute Chance gegeben. Wir wurden sehr angenehm überrascht. Die Begrüßung war herzlich, uns wurde das Service- Personal vorgestellt. Getränke und Speisen kamen im angemessenen Zeitraum, Fisch war auf den Punkt gegart, Beilagen ( Stampfkartoffeln und Bohnen) frisch zubereitet, angenehm wenig gewürzt und sehr reichlich. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam, unaufdringlich und freundlich. Ambiente zum Wohlfühlen und Entspannen. Danke, das Team arbeitet auf einem hohen Niveau. Wir werden wieder öfter dieses Restaurant besuchen.

Everything fine! Very tasty food and courteous, friendly staff!

Very friendly staff and very tasty food.

The loup de mer was perfectly cooked, with a delicate, flaky texture and a subtle, slightly sweet flavor that was simply delightful. The crispy skin added a satisfying contrast, seasoned just enough to bring out the fish’s natural taste without overpowering it. Paired with the rosemary potatoes, which were golden and aromatic, this dish struck an ideal balance. The rosemary infused the potatoes with a savory depth that complemented the fish beautifully.

A nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service at the Rostock marina. We had fish soup, zander and loup de mer with side dishes, which were recommended by the house Pinot Blanc from Burgenland. The fish soup was pleasingly deep in flavor and creamy on the tongue - a perfect starter on cold days. While the pike perch came out of the kitchen a bit dry and tough and the fried potatoes weren't particularly crispy, loup de mer was exquisitely prepared.

Auch diesmal vom Eintreffen bis zum Verlassen des Restaurants waren wir sehr zufrieden. Freundlich am Empfang und bei der Bestellung, die Speisen waren frisch zubereitet und ließen keine Wünsche offen. Dankeschön für einen gelungenen Abend

Wir waren wieder mal im Borwin und es ist immer noch empfehlenswert. Das Essen war super; wir hatten - wie immer - nichts auszusetzen.

Sehr nette Bedienung, sehr leckeres Essen, sind immer wieder gerne da, wenn wir in Rostock sind. Der Wunsch nach einem Tisch am Fenster wurde auch erfüllt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Nice seafood restaurant in Rostock. 🐟🍤 We received good service and recommendation from the staff!

The food and service are very good 👍. The portions are large enough and the price is reasonable.

Ein Bekannter hat mir dieses Lokal empfohlen. Das Ambiente ist schön, die Küche abwechslungsreich und der Service sehr aufmerksam. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wunderbarer Besuch! Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und eine prima Auswahl an Speisen. Der Wolfsbarsch war auf den Punkt gebraten! Ebenfalls zu empfehlen sind die Austern und der Zander. Sehr schönes Ambiente

Great restaurant with various fish specialties. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food tasted great. Clear recommendation, we'll be back!

Perfect restaurant to eat delicious fish. One of the top restaurants in Rostock.

Very nice restaurant. You have to experience it. Food was very tasty. However, the fish portion in the Baltic Sea menu was for the tooth. For the price the zander is really small ‼️but tastes very good. The cod with mustard sauce was delicious and the portion was also OK. But a lot of money for almost 26 euros. The dish is cheaper in Ribnitz in der Zees. The Aperol Spritz for 11.90 euros is also a hit. Elsewhere you can get it for 7.90 euros... Well, here you're probably paying for Rostock as the location. It worked with a voucher 😉. But to be fair, you have to say it's a cute restaurant with delicious, upscale food. The staff is super nice and really cares about the well-being of the guests. The atmosphere is also really good.

The team around the hostess did an outstanding job. We felt very comfortable! And what can I say, the food was delicious too 😊

Wir haben hier richtig lecker gegessen. Frischer Fisch (Steinbeißer und Kabeljau) mit sehr leckeren Beilagen nach Wahl. Vorab hatten wir sehr leckere Suppen. Vom Haus gab es vorab noch leckeres Brot mit Ajoli und Olivenöl, der richtig lecker war. Wir haben gleich eine Flasche gekauft. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Ein tolles Restaurant direkt am Wasser. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder,. Auch für Vegetarier gut geeignet.

We ate very well, it was worth every euro.

Mega ambience and really strong cuisine - I haven't had such good fish in a long time 🤗 The service staff is very attentive and super friendly. We always come here 🤩

A successful girls' evening, super nice service and the food was delicious. Kudos to the kitchen. We'd love to come back.

Luckily we got a table on Saturday evening and were very satisfied! The atmosphere is very nice and the employees are super nice! We'll be back 👍

Wir waren auf Empfehlung eines guten Freundes das erste mal im Borwin und können die Empfehlung absolut nachvollziehen. Meiner Frau wurde an der Tür direkt die Jacke abgenommen und wir wurden zum Platz geleitet. Die Bedienung war in Sachen Freundlichkeit und Service kaum zu übertreffen. Nach kurzer Zeit haben wir dann unsere Bestellung aufgegeben: als Vorspeise die Hummersuppe und die gebratenen Scallops. Als Hauptgang haben wir uns für die Surf and Turf-Pasta sowie das Zanderfilet in Kräuterkruste entschieden. Wir haben schon viele Restaurants in Rostock ausprobiert, doch so gut wie im Borwin haben wir bisher noch nicht gegessen. Eine absolutes Top-Lokal.

Gemütliches Ambiente, sehr freundliche Bedienung, sehr gutes Essen!- auch für den Hund wurde gesorgt. Dieses RestTist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen!

Wie waren zum ersten Mal im Borwin. Die Speisekarte im Internat war jetzt nicht so üppig; aber wir hatten Lust, wieder mal was Neues auszuprobieren. Und die Überraschung: das Tagesangebots an Frischfisch war so umfangreich, dass man sich fast nicht entscheiden konnte. Das Essen war super; der Service hervorragend, das Ambiete toll. Bei dem Angebot muss man wiederkommen.

The kitchen knows what it is doing. Great taste experience. Gladly again!

Die beste Bouillabaisse ever!! Wir kommen sicher(!) wieder❤️

Very good fish restaurant. Nice service, we had a nice evening.

I have rarely eaten so well and will definitely visit the restaurant again on my next visit to Rostock. Super nice staff that you could also have fun with

The food was good. The female service employees were very friendly, but one gentleman was very unsympathetic and should not be let loose on the guests. You could have been a little more alert, but good, the restaurant was also very busy. The atmosphere was too busy for me. Unfortunately it wasn't comfortable at all, everything was very narrow and very loud. Nothing to stay there any longer. Dogs are welcome.

Very quaint restaurant with a good small menu. Unfortunately, the space is rather tight, and also very loud and uncomfortable. If you don't eat fish, you get a small selection but it's enough! Our dog was warmly welcomed and greeted with fresh water. The service was a bit slow, but that was probably because the restaurant was full. Our service staff was great, friendly, charming and funny... just a good service staff! I wouldn't come back because it's more of a fish restaurant. I was there with fish fans!

Great location, great service, fantastic food, tasteful decor and everything was very clean. Recommended!

Sehr guter Service, ausgezeichnetes Essen, tolles Ambiente

The best restaurant in Rostock! Great service, the food is always fresh and very tasty. A clear recommendation!

Beautifully prepared food and very tasteful.

Very good, very good, hospitable!

Super tasty food in a very nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. I can definitely recommend Borwin.

Immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Einrichtung und die nette Bedienung runden das Essen perfekt ab.

Sehr schönes, originelles Fischrestaurant am Hafen mit gutem Essen. Gute Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Die Preise sind gehoben, aber für die Qualität gerechtfertigt. Freundliches Personal und angenehme Atmosphäre.

A beautiful place to end the day. The food was very tasty. Very friendly and attentive staff. If possible, make sure to make a reservation in good time.

Schönes Hafenlokal mit schmackhaftem Essen und freundlichem Service

A really nice restaurant on the water with a very friendly team and tasty food. Top! Definitely try the Borwin Rum. :-)
