Dat ole Aalhus - Kathrin Rilke in Fehmarn

The restaurant is great! We had no problem getting a table, even though it's so popular. In fact, everything was very charmingly decorated, the service was super friendly, and the food was excellent. The one-star penalty is because we were a large group and were seated at a table with another group, which meant that some people weren't paying attention to other people, and (the restaurant's fault is less than that) the cod (which we paid for) was no longer available. At least a discount would have been appropriate.

We've eaten there several times now, and we highly recommend the restaurant. The huge salad and the equally huge burger, for example, were delicious and reasonably priced. We were always able to find space, even with larger groups; the staff is very friendly.

Quaint decor and excellent home-style cooking, especially the fish dishes. Excellent service. It tasted delicious, and we'd gladly return.

Super delicious, service very friendly and helpful. Good value for money, I can highly recommend this restaurant.

We were passing through Denmark and were kindly able to snag a table on the terrace without a reservation. The food and service were perfect, the portions very large, but so delicious that we finished them all. I also ate what were probably the crispiest fried potatoes of my life here at Aalhus. I must have left my cardigan on the chair, and they sent it to me—without batting an eyelid. Thank you so much for that! We'd love to come back :)

I was there with my wife. We had fish and fried potatoes. But the fried potatoes weren't good. Frozen and fried in a deep fryer, that's absolutely unacceptable, and for that price, that's a no-go. You just need to improve.

Beautiful traditional restaurant with excellent fish and meat dishes, as well as delicious vegetarian options!

With children or a dog, you sit in the back corner, very cramped and very loud. That's an absolute no-go. We've had this experience several times.

Beautiful restaurant with very friendly and attentive service. High prices, but also really generous portions!

When we're on Fehmarn, we also go to Aalhus. The salmon/herring tartar starter is excellent, and so is the smoked salmon with ready-made fritters. The main courses are very good and tasty. However, Lukull Hollo has no place there at that price point. The Chardonnay was very good, but again, it was a reasonable price. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. However, the very young lady served me my main course (pan-fried) with an empty plate; there was something green stuck to it, and when she put it down, she wiped it off with her thumb. I waited for her to bring me a clean plate, but nothing came. I think she was forced to work there.

Very plentiful and absolutely delicious.

Really nice food in big portions and lovely service. Wieder gerne!!!!

Very nice staff and very tasty food highly recommended

Delicious fish dishes in a pleasant atmosphere

We stumbled upon Aalhus by chance and were delighted by the friendly service and the incredibly delicious food. The salad was the best we've had in a long time, as was the rest of the food. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious. It's definitely worth a visit. I found the atmosphere to be quaint, a bit like a church. It wasn't the last time we were there. The burger was huge and looked delicious, and the schnitzel was very tender. The sauce for the cod fillet was excellent. The strawberry spritzer is highly recommended.

Sunday evening...it was busy...okay...but fried potatoes should have been fried, not just dragged through the fat. And €26 is definitely too much for a grilled plate with a maximum of 120g of meat. A good, small pork fillet medallion, a 3mm "thick" dry pork loin steak, and a not-much-juicier, larger piece of turkey. The sauce was watered down...and a whole mushroom in four slices...that makes eating out no fun.

The daily special, sesame-coated redfish, was unfortunately undercooked on two orders, the fried potatoes were a bit dry, and the sauce didn't match the flavor. We expected more for the price. After pointing out the poorly cooked fish, we were offered a drink on the house as a small compensation. Unfortunately, it didn't end well either; the biscuit that came with the espresso was sticky and could have easily been folded. This was also reported to the waiter, who was then given another apology.

Whenever we're on Fehmarn, we stop here. The young man who served us was very attentive and friendly. The food was very good and plentiful.

Simply a Baba Aalhus, everything really shaküsel geil

Great food and fantastic service! And most importantly, dogs are welcome and even offered a drink 😉

Very friendly and helpful. Very good food. Very friendly service. You don't have to wait long. Great service.

Even though it wasn't busy, it was a rather hectic environment. The waiter wasn't visible at first, but then he greeted us in a friendly and North German manner, which I thought was a good thing. The food was delicious, with generous portions and a nice North German touch. The wait for four people was perfectly acceptable. My only comment is that if a salad is included with the dish, I don't eat cheese due to allergies, so I wouldn't want tomato and mozzarella on it. It looked good, but it's not my thing and would have even been a reason to return the dish... Otherwise, the cod I ate was very good... so one point deducted for the lack of information about the cheese... You can have Aprol Spritz!!! I'd be happy to come back.

We booked a table and the food was great.

The food is incredibly delicious. Even with extremely busy times, the service is very friendly and always tries to find a table, even without a reservation.

An absolute recommendation for fish lovers on the island. This year, my highlight in terms of the quality, composition, and appearance of the food. The price-performance ratio was excellent. Very pleasant and attentive service. The garden behind the restaurant—weather permitting—offers a very pleasant ambiance and is naturally a bit quieter than inside. It's very busy, and unlike other restaurants, you're still well-stocked with drinks after your meal, even after the kitchen has closed. Service is top-notch. Thank you for the wonderful culinary delight! We'll be back soon.

So delicious! Decent portions. Great atmosphere. The annual end to the holiday.

Very tasty food, freshly prepared, and generous portions. Very friendly and fast service, even when the restaurant was full.

Not exactly cheap, but very good food and friendly, competent service. Worth it.

Not only fish lovers, but also meat eaters and vegetarians will find something to their liking here. The food is very good (grilled dishes), and I would like to emphasize that the sauces are neither from a packet nor are the fries/fried potatoes too greasy.

Simply excellent food in a cozy atmosphere. We'll be happy to come back again and again :)

Fantastic food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We always enjoy coming back to this outstanding restaurant.

A fantastic restaurant with delicious food—even a good selection for vegetarians—friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, and absolutely child-friendly! Fehmarn's best restaurant ❤️

We received a very warm welcome even though we didn't have a reservation. The food was delicious and plentiful. The waitress was very friendly. Thank you so much, we'll be back ❣️

Highly recommended, rarely eaten so well, actually 6 ⭐

This restaurant was recommended to us several times by locals, so we spontaneously called and reserved a table for three. The food was excellent. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was rustic and authentic. Very good value for money. Definitely a recommendation.

We came for dinner without an appointment. Since it was the holiday season, it was quite busy. However, we still managed to get a table. The food was good and plentiful. We can recommend the restaurant, but you shouldn't necessarily go there during the holiday season.

A very nice restaurant with very friendly staff and good food. The outdoor area is very cozy.

Very fresh fish, a great, large salad with fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. What more could you want on vacation...

Super nice environment Super nice personal Super nice Essen

So, it's very good value for money. If you're ever on this island, you should definitely stay here. Very friendly staff.

Very tasty and beautifully presented food.

Wir waren in den letzten Jahren immer sehr gerne hier und waren nun wirklich enttäuscht! Der Dorsch war eine dünne Scheibe, der Lachs sehr trocken, die Sauce Hollandaise ganz dick (fertig gekauft?), der Beilagensalat wurde vom Dressing ertränkt, wobei das Himbeer-Dressing den Salat nur gestreift hat (es werden mehrere Dressings verwender), der Gurkensalat war sehr sauer und gleichzeitig sehr süß (die ganze Familie konnte ihn nicht essen). Ein Glas Weißwein ist erst ab 8.50€ zu bekommen. Das Lachs-Matjes Tatar war aber sehr lecker und auch das Rotbarschfilet war gut. Leider war auch die Dame, die für unseren Service zuständig war, nicht besonders freundlich. Zunächst kam sie uns etwas genervt vor, später war sie etwas freundlicher. Auf unsere Kritik kam aber lediglich, dass würde sie sonst nicht hören, räumt ab und geht. Kein 'das tut mir leid'. Andere Damen waren gewohnt freundlich. Hinzu kommt noch, dass auf den Tischen nun gekaufte Tischläufer in "einmal Serviettenqualität" liegen, statt Stoff-Tischläufer. Bilde fehlen an einigen Tischen an der Wand, der Umriss ist noch gut an der Mauer zu erkennen. Für uns war das Aalhus immer ein Ort mit Liebe zum Detail, das hat uns bei unserem aktuellen Besuch leider total gefehlt!

Cozy restaurant with very friendly service and excellent food. We had the Fehmarn fish pan with fried potatoes and various fish fillets and mixed fish on spaghetti. Both dishes were huge and impossible to finish, but soooo delicious. The fried potatoes couldn't be better. It was our first time there and we felt very comfortable and will be back in the next few days. Dat ole Aalhus is worth a visit and we highly recommend it.

Spargel, Schnitzel, Fisch, Dessert, Obstler. Alles perfekt! Und der Service ist auch erstklassig. Da können viele andere von lernen. Ein schöner Gegensatz zu der immer häufiger vorkommenden Selbstbedienung bei gleichen Preisen.

We go there every year for dinner. It's almost that time again. The food is super delicious 😋. Everything else is great too. We're really looking forward to it.

Four of us ended up there spontaneously and practically got the last available table. The food was delicious, the portions very generous. It was definitely good value for money. The friendliness of the staff deserves 10 stars. We also really liked the restaurant itself and the atmosphere. We definitely recommend it. We'll be back.

Highly recommended fish restaurant. Portions are more than adequate, and the wait isn't long. Most importantly, it tastes *incredibly delicious*

Vor drei Jahren haben wir uns mit Fehmarn angefreundet und haben zufällig Dat Ole Aalhus entdeckt. Überraschend ist die maritimen Einrichtung und der gemütliche Rosengarten. Hektik kommt nicht auf; man hat Gelegenheit, die reichhaltige Karte zu studieren. Wir entschieden uns wie immer für ein Fischgericht. Ein Schollenliebhaber kommt voll auf seine Kosten- das frische Veltins passt dazu. Fisch muss schwimmen. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch.

A perfect evening. The good service was surpassed by the superb food. I can only recommend it. The price and performance were also spot on. It won't be our last visit to this restaurant. Can we give it 10 stars? If so, we give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was the best food we had during our stay on the island. Everything was delicious and very fresh. The service was outstanding. We had reservations and were led directly to a large corner table. The portions were huge and could have easily fed two. Highly recommend this family-owned establishment.

We went there for the first time today. My husband had the fish platter, and I had the pasta and fish combination. The portions were very generous, and the food was VERY tasty. We'll definitely be back.

No words to find Genius Enjoyment Enough

When we're on Fehmarn, this is our restaurant. It's always delicious, and the salad is unique. We're always happy to come back...

The good times seem to be over. After years, I went back. While 10 years ago the restaurant would have deserved 5 stars for its fish platter, today it only gets 3 – and that's only due to the friendly service. It used to come with salad and crab, but now you get various fillets with dry fried potatoes – no onions or bacon – and instead of crab, some tasteless shrimp in three drops of hollandaise sauce. And all that for over 33 euros. I had a guest with me to whom I had previously raved about the fish platter – in the end, I was even embarrassed and apologized.

‼️Excellent restaurant‼️ that spoils its guests with outstanding food. The service staff is motivated, attentive, and pleasantly friendly. I've been going there for 25 years and am very satisfied. For me, it's the best restaurant on the island of Fehmarn 🏆

very tasty food and very friendly service..

Awesome shop. Price-performance is right. I'm getting full from an appetizer here. There's no need to talk about the taste experience. The overall picture is correct.

Very friendly service, the portions were very large and the food was excellent. Thank you

The FEHMARNSCHE FISH PAN was ordered: fried cod fillet in an egg shell, Baltic Sea salmon fillet and plaice fillet from the grill served with fried potatoes, scampi, hollandaise sauce, lemon and herb butter €33.90 Unfortunately the fish pan looked like fried potatoes with some fish, or find the fish with decoration. A leftover piece of salmon. Very meager for the price. Taste okay. Not a highlight. Too bad.

Very, very tasty, large portion, take away no problem, very nice staff

Unfortunately it was closed when we wanted to go there on Thursday.

Super delicious food, very friendly staff. Always happy to go there. Especially if you are there with children 🥰.

The "Dat ole Aalhus" is an institution on Fehmarn when it comes to excellent North German home cooking Unfortunately, the boss has had to cook herself for two years because she can't find a chef who is willing to deal with the fluctuating working hours on Fehmarn (only 4 opening days in low season). However, I don't even dare to imagine how good the food would be. At the moment it is excellent. I had the house fish soup and the fried potato ratio and had absolutely no idea what could be better. Small detail: The soup came with lightly toasted bread, which arrived to the guest still warm and ideally provided the “crunch” component that a soup naturally lacks. Be careful of the salad side dish of the fried potato ratio. This is not a side salad, but the entire salad from the starter menu. If you want to have dessert, it's better to halve the salad portion when ordering

The service and the ambience were friendly/nice, unfortunately it doesn't make up for the disaster on the plate. We were there with 8 people. Something about the Fehmarn fish platter (dry fish although fried too fatty) the fried potatoes have nothing to do with fried potatoes - they feel like they come from a deep fryer (from the oven according to the service) after three minutes on the plate they are hard and no longer edible... Have absolutely nothing to do with fried potatoes... Horrible Appetizer platter like from the 80s... We only ate half of our plates - and that with the brutal prices (€30 for a main course)... There are much better alternatives on the island

Obwohl wir nicht reserviert hatten, haben wir einen Tisch bekommen. Die Beschäftigen waren allesamt freundlich! Die Getränke und das Essen ließen nicht lange auf sich warten. Das Essen war reichlich und sehr lecker! Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder!

Beim letzten Mal (vor ca. 3 Wochen) war es schon sehr gut, aber dieses Mal war es sensationell gut. Das Bratkartoffelverhältnis war das beste Fischgericht in meinem Leben. Die Scampi super, der Fisch sehr gut. Dazu leckere Bratkartoffeln und eine wirklich sensationelle Salatbeilage. Von Feldsalat, Gurken, Tomate Mozzarella über Him- und Brombeeren hin zu Karotten sowie Honig- und Wassermelone. Sehr Große Portion. Dazu noch Dunkles Bier vom Fass. Besser geht es nicht! Nicht zu vergessen: die Matjes meiner Frau waren auch sehr lecker!

We celebrated our wedding here. The planning was communicated to us in a very friendly manner. The food was very tasty and our guests were also very satisfied. Despite the very slow service back then, we decided to return there every year on our wedding day as a tradition. So alone on the first wedding day, with our first child on the second and then with our second born. From year to year the service and unfortunately also the food got worse. Very greasy and the fried potatoes seemed tough and warmed up. Too bad for the price. The last time we were there with our two children, we were asked straight away how long we would need, as people from the terrace needed the space. There's really no question of a cozy, family-friendly get-together here. If you want to spend a lot of money on a greasy, overpriced, sometimes stale meal, for which you have to wait longer and are also asked to vacate the place quickly, you have come to the right place. Otherwise, we recommend a different, more family-friendly, slower atmosphere on the beautiful island of Fehmarn. Unfortunately, loyalty is not rewarded here.

Upscale, wonderful dishes, value for money 1a. Nice, cozy atmosphere and a super nice junior boss who knows how to make the guests feel comfortable and definitely come back, like us.

Actually, we just wanted to have a quick warm drink after our day tour. Due to the many reservations there was no space available, but we were allowed to sit at the bar for drinks. The hot drinks then became small, delicious snacks with a cold drink. Absolutely great. Many thanks again to the people there for their friendly efforts and conversations. When it comes to service, this is a flagship.

We have been guests there on and off for years, it is not a given these days that a restaurant is consistently very good. Thank you for the lovely evening for everything.

Super leckeres Essen. Wir hatten Bratkartoffel Verhältnis und waren einfach nur überwältigt, von der Vielfalt, des Geschmacks und der gesamten Kreation auf dem Teller. Zu 100% empfehlenswert. Auch die Bedienung war großartig. Mega Kompliment an das gesamte Team. Wir kommen morgen wieder

Absolute recommendation! The dishes are varied, tasty, interesting, beautifully presented and plentiful. The service is very attentive, the atmosphere is rustic and cozy.

We were there for the second time, the food is very good, everything was plentiful and very nicely prepared. The sour meat is a poem, the plaice is huge, everything calls for you to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Super tasty dishes Nice service Always my pleasure

We had a great evening there with friends. The food was very tasty. Large portions for a reasonable price. Service quick and friendly. We will be happy to come back!

The burger is big but it doesn't have a very good flavor, the meat is very dry and the sauces leave a lot to be desired.

We have eaten there several times with a group and several dogs. The portions are very large and all delicious. The food and drinks were served quickly. The price is reasonable. You can park directly opposite for free. Cash and card payment possible Clear recommendation!

For me the best restaurant on Fehmarn

An absolute must on Fehmarn! The food was simply fantastic - fish cooked perfectly and the portions were really generous. I was particularly impressed by the cozy and maritime atmosphere, which invites you to linger. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, you immediately feel at home here. Vegetarians also get their money's worth: the vegetarian dishes are creative and just as excellent. We'll definitely be back!

Mega fish restaurant, noodles 🍜 on point, had fish variation It was a taste explosion!!! Rarely have I had such good fish! Everything together with the seaweed...mhhhh😋

Great restaurant with a nice rustic atmosphere. Friendly service and delicious food. Price-performance is right. The only point of criticism during our visit was - and this is a complaint on a high level - that the scallops were a bit bland. Otherwise highly recommended. We'd love to come back. Reservation recommended.

Super nice service. Fresh food and great portions.

Very pleasant, relaxed, super tasty and simply beautiful!

Very good ambience, very tasty, but also a little more expensive, but quality, and that every year again and again 👍!!!

Very friendly reception. Meanwhile, with a dog, we even got a large table. Considerate service. Quality and preparation excellent. Prices reasonable. Gladly again.

I was absolutely thrilled. Fish platter at its best. I had never eaten anything so delicious in terms of fish. The restaurant itself is rustically furnished and invites you to linger for a while. Been there again after a year. Great service, delicious food. Always worth a stop.

Thanks to the whole Aalhus team! I rarely write reviews, but you just made us very, very happy! Aalhus gourmet plate, Fehmarn fish pan, rustic coastal plate, each with delicious fried potatoes. As starters there was the salmon herring tartare and the beetroot carpaccio. That was all really great! Thank you for letting us be your guests! See you soon !

Yesterday we spontaneously went to the old Aalhus without a reservation. Despite the full house and lack of staff and although we had a large dog with us, we were warmly welcomed and everything was possible to offer us a place. The service was very friendly and everything went pretty quickly despite the house being full. The food was a highlight for the eyes and palate, very good quality and good value for money. We'd love to come back, next time with a reservation

Always happy. A MUST every time we are on Fehmarn.

Were here because of the positive reviews, but we think it's praised too highly and the price/performance ratio doesn't fit, the friendly and attentive waiter gets 5 stars, penne with small shrimps - yes, ok but nothing special, what should the seaweed and bean sprouts do with it?? ? Grilled plate with fried potatoes, a dollop of Lukull Hollandaise, some sauce with a mushroom, the meat was ok but nothing more for €26.90, a bit lean. The veggi burger with convenience patty and the 6convenience onion rings were tasty but not much homemade, a shame, there is a lot of room for improvement and for 21€ not worth the price. Maybe our expectations were too high given all the positive reviews, but we really like it when the food is freshly prepared🙋🏻‍♀️🌞

Gladly again. Everything went perfectly. Special requests were taken into account. Nice service

very friendly reception - waiting time ok - slightly higher price; But the size and quality of the food + the great ambience makes up for it! 👍

The tastiest fish I've ever eaten. Very nice service and a quiet atmosphere. We'll be back.

Very, very good food, be sure to reserve a table early. Dat ole Aalhus is known throughout Fehmarn

There were four of us (plus two dogs) with a reservation. However, we then had to wait until a suitable table was available, but we could choose whether we wanted to eat inside or on the terrace. The weather was pleasant so we decided to go outside. After a quarter of an hour someone finally came to take the drinks and food. It took another quarter of an hour for the drinks to be brought. The restaurant was well attended but not overcrowded. The food actually came a whole hour later. It was now after 8 p.m., the air on the terrace was already significantly cooler and we wouldn't have gone out if we had expected such a long wait. The food was a highlight not only visually but also in terms of taste. For that reason alone we will definitely go again. The service in the outdoor area could be expanded a bit... we were only asked after the meal if we needed anything else, asking in between wouldn't have been a big deal, especially since the nice ladies were always out on the terrace. For dessert we had a crème brûlée and the nut cup...both highly recommended.

We took food home twice. That didn't affect the quality. Very tasty food. Whether burgers or fish dishes. For me, Fehmarn is unbeatable! Not only the quality, but also the service is top notch here. What I saw of the location seemed very inviting and cozy to me!

Absolute recommendation. 👍👍👍 We had to wait a little longer, but it was worth it. Besides, we are on vacation and have time. Waiting slows down 😂

I had the Aalhus Gourmet Plate and I really have to say that this was one of the best fish plates of my life. Lovingly prepared and the different types of fish all excellently prepared. We also had a very warm relationship with our waitress. She was very attentive to the children and really listened to our every wish.

We were welcomed friendly and quickly without a reservation and a full house, as well as a lack of staff. Very tasty fish, some portions too big. Quality and quantity are right here. Prices are reasonable. We reserved straight away. I really enjoy coming here again and again.
