KAI40 Restaurant & Bar in Rostock

Great ambience & delicious food! The service from Mr. Schmidt was excellent and clearly stood out from that of the rest of the staff. Recommendation!

Such a good restaurant in the great hotel - that's perfect. A special thank you to Kristin and Ricarda and the entire team for the last two evenings, we will be back.

Very nice hotel, delicious food, great service! Gladly again 👍

The restaurant is beautiful, harmonious and you are treated very courteously. I can absolutely recommend the food, I had the burger. A large portion and I couldn't finish it. A clear must to stop here.

I can highly recommend the hotel even though (or precisely because) it is in the hotel building 👍 The ambience leaves nothing to be desired. It's very modern and chic, but not kitschy. To start there was a delicious bread with butter and cranberry lard, which tasted very good. The tomato soup was also very good 🍅 the vegan bowl as the main course was surprisingly good because the ingredients were very well chosen and some ingredients were served warm. The service was A1 (even though my order was initially forgotten, but I wasn't rushing and so had no problem waiting). In terms of price, it's completely okay, especially if you get a discount on food and drinks as a Radisson Rewards member. I will definitely use it again when I am there. 👌

A nice restaurant with great service! The staff's recommendations are particularly worthwhile, great tips for a successful stay in Rostock. Cocktails and wines were really delicious, we would love to come back

Always nice here. Magical staff and excellent food.

Great ambience and service in the rooftop bar! Thank you very much

A very LONG wait for drinks that evening, the rest was perfect

The ambience of the KAI40 is convincing: stylish, high-quality furnishings and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the food couldn't quite keep up. The veal schnitzel was tough and small, more like pork schnitzel, while the fries covered almost the entire plate - more focus on meat and salad would have been desirable. The cucumber salad tasted good, but the portions were far too small and watery. The service was friendly but disorganized. Although we were greeted politely, there was a lack of attention: our bread basket didn't arrive until the main course, empty plates remained for a long time, and overall we didn't really feel welcome. The long wait took away our desire for dessert. Conclusion: Great ambience, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to food and service.

Great service and very tasty food at fair prices. Cozy and inviting.

The Kai40 restaurant is located in the Radisson Blu Hotel in downtown Rostock with a view of the Warnow. Between Xy burger shops, various "Italian" restaurants and other mainstream restaurants with template concepts, Kai40 comes with its very own style. They separated from the former “Osteria” and concentrated on their real strengths. Regional foods and newly interpreted or traditional Nordic dishes but also well-known classics brought to the plate in their own style. Chef Kai Pagel has established a feel-good kitchen here that comes without any frills or unnecessary decoration. Good taste and dishes from the good old days or childhood memories. First there was a lukewarm and crispy dark bread with walnuts and a subtle note of pepper, which was balanced by the sweetness of the cranberry lard. The beef tartare was very proportional, robust in the bite with a delicately sweet and sour spicy marinade. Classically served with shallots, capers and egg. The philosophy of chef Mr. Pagel and his team is also reflected here. The “Wilde Carbonara” was particularly noteworthy. Pasta cooked to perfection with an aromatic, strong herbal pesto marinated with delicately melting but complex-tasting wild ham, whose salty note brought a certain balance to the sweetness of the cranberries. On top a creamy burrata. Comfortable cuisine without much discussion! The Kai40 Bowl plays with the full range of flavors....... Crisp radishes with sweet and spicy pickles, grilled honey carrots, port wine onions, quinta and barley as well as delicately pink cooked veal slices with a cream of smoked fish. This is where the interplay of warm-cold, sweet-sour, crunchy and braised develops. Plus some crunch and invigorating spiciness. The menu also includes sweet classics such as crème brûleé or pear soup with klüttern or a quadruple chocolate variation, which is perfect for sharing for two people. An exciting address for all taste lovers!

Stylish ambience and an unbeatable view over the city. The service is attentive, the music is just right – not too loud, but with a good atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxed evening or special occasions. Absolutely recommended!

Pure culinary delight!!! Best restaurant in Rostock. “Bite from here” appetizer; Main course “rump steak”; dessert “pear soup”. We were very surprised by the very good quality of the food. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was great and the price was reasonable. Star quality in Rostock, what a surprise.

Wonderful stylish atmosphere, absolutely great service, everyone was friendly and accommodating without being intrusive, the food is really sensational. Prices are high, but justified, as the service stands out and the dishes are really special variants. The ribs are an absolute recommendation, as is the wild carbonara.

Very nice and friendly staff. Helpful, we could tell that there was a desire to work. The food was a culinary delight.

Top service, Ivan Superstar, best waiter.

We were here for dinner and left completely satisfied. Great ambience, very friendly service and delicious food with surprisingly generous portions. The price-performance ratio is right here!

Delicious cocktails. Nice service

Their portion is quite big and priced nicely. Interior is absolutely gorgeous, food is tasty, and the drinks are also satisfactory. Eisbein portion is way bigger than expected. sadly they don’t have neither lieblich or alcohol free Wine- everything is just trocken. But they made it up with their gin/sprits options and also the tonic like Japanese yuzu tonic is something i don’t often find.

We ate there for the first time on my birthday. The first impression of the restaurant was very positive, it is a cozy atmosphere with warm light and a nice atmosphere. The food was wonderful, the quality matched the price and the service was great too. It wasn't too intrusive and not too little either. All in all it was a perfect place to celebrate special days. Always my pleasure :)

A great hotel with nice staff. We felt very comfortable.

A great restaurant really great service and very good food

We landed here at short notice and were given a very warm welcome. Our table request was immediately fulfilled. The menu is very varied and offers food for every taste. We had both veal schnitzel and burgers as well as the pulled beef sandwich. Everything was very nicely prepared and extremely tasty. For dessert we also had various dishes from the dessert menu, which were also excellent. All in all, a wonderful evening in a lovely atmosphere.

There were three of us for the dinner buffet. Our waitress Kristin was very friendly and in a good mood. We had a lot of fun😁👍! The food was delicious and was continually replenished over the two hours we were there. The breakfast is also exceptional and cannot be compared to any hotel we know of!!! We'll definitely be back!!!!!

Hello, We were there last Saturday, December 14th. with our family at Kai40 for the Advent brunch. The ambience was very nice and Christmassy and the service was wonderful throughout. We were well served and always felt comfortable there. The food was also very good. Everything was prepared very tasty and there was also a wide variety on offer from fruit platters to walnut pasta to duck and delicious desserts. A clear recommendation from us! Best regards Koch family

Very nice rooftop bar with a beautiful view over the Warnow. Service highly recommended

Really first-class breakfast buffet. Will definitely come back. Expensive but really good!

Wir waren zu Viert hier,waren alle zufrieden. Sehr netter Service Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen. Würden wieder kommen.

Sehr nett beim After-Work-Event und sehr freundliches Personal. Schöne Musik, aber zeitweise etwas zu laut. Gerne auch nochmal die Getränkekarte etwas erweitern. Vielleicht unterscheiden sich Winter- und Sommerkarte?

Immer wieder ausserordentlich gut!!!!! Tolles Ambiente, lecker Essen, mega Service! 5 Sterne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ wir kommen gerne wieder!!!

Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich und es gibt eine tolle Aussicht . Cocktails sind sehr lecker und die Bedienungen freundlich . Sehr zu empfehlen

Ein schöner Abend in lockerer Umgebung bei ausgezeichneten Drinks. Dominik war sehr zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne her.

Very chilled bar with good Marlower beer!

Very nice atmosphere, excellent brunch selection and very friendly staff.

We were there on November 6th. Dined at Kai 40 and had a wonderful evening with the family in the modern ambience of the restaurant. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food tasted great and was good value for money. We have vegetarians in the family and they highly praised the Beyond Burger. We would love to come back.

Saturday - break! Very nice atmosphere, service very friendly and accommodating. The offering is diverse and very tasty. Everything is presented very nicely too! For me personally the price per person is a little too high! But everyone should see for themselves!

The atmosphere and the food were very appealing. Modern furnishings, central location, clean toilets and lots of staff. The food was delicious – including selection and speed of preparation. The prices were okay for the quality, I found the price-performance ratio to be okay. Card payment possible. The staff also served quite professionally, even if there was room for improvement. Strangely, the opening times did not match those on the website and on Google. And I had the feeling that I wasn't that welcome at first as a guest with two children. At 4 p.m. the restaurant was empty, all seats were free. The waitress asked if we had a reservation instead of greeting us in a friendly manner. When I said no, she made us wait and turned to her supervisor. I found this to be unfriendly. The manager then kindly placed us in a seat in the middle of the room - it could have been a window seat because all the tables were free. I had to remember the child seat. There were colored pencils and a sheet that could be painted. My impression: The professionalism of the staff urgently needs to be improved.

Very friendly service. Top. Highly recommended

Really great food! Very friendly staff! Very tasty drinks at the bar! Highly recommended!!!

Reserved a table in the evening. Everything went smoothly. The ambience was breathtaking, beautifully harmonious, clean, elegant and very modern and inviting. The service was also very friendly and accommodating. You felt very well advised and very comfortable. Intolerances were addressed and very good advice was given. Special requests were accepted without objection. Food was very fresh, warm, high quality. Also a large dessert selection. The price is worth it. A culinary temptation. We highly recommend this restaurant. We'll definitely be back.

Always good service, ambience and simply delicious!

Absolutely great and well-frequented rooftop bar with a beautiful, contemporary ambience; For me as a gin fan, the selection of around 20 gins was an absolute blast and I thought the recommendation of a matching tonic was great; My favorite that evening was the classic, finely nuanced Müritz Gin.

Great breakfast buffet that leaves nothing to be desired Thank you very much for that friendly staff

Always a delight for the palate and senses!

It's nice restaurant inside the Radisson hotel. Food was good quality and tasty. Prices affordable. Nice interior. Good serving time.

The KAI10 Rooftop Bar at the Radisson Blu Rostock is a real insider tip! The ambience is simply perfect – modern, stylish and with a breathtaking view over the city. The atmosphere is both relaxed and luxurious, providing the perfect setting for a quiet evening with friends or business associates.

A must when you are in Rostock, nice staff and delicious cocktails ❤️

We had a wonderful evening with Tristan at the bar (Isolde was missing, but if Isolde is looking for and wants to find a wonderful Tristan, then definitely contact the bar at the Radisson Blue in Rostock ;)) Thank you for your charm, wit and your very kind care...We felt very comfortable in your care!!!!

A wonderful atmosphere, at 9° you sit on the heated terrace and enjoy the nightlife of Rostock with very good drinks. Highly recommended!

Super Service und fantastisches Essen! Zudem ein wirklich entspanntes Ambiente. Wir haben uns ab der ersten Sekunde wohl gefühlt und kommen definitiv wieder! Vor allem Kristin war einfach klasse! 100%tige Empfehlung!

Wir können nur sagen: extremer Wohlfühlfaktor am Vorabend unserer Kreuzfahrt. Das war das beste Essen, was wir seit langem in einem Restaurant gegessen haben. Noch dazu hat alles gepasst. Sehr großzügiges Ambiente, alles sehr stilvoll und vor allem super nette, empathische Mitarbeiter. Vielen Dank!

Nice atmosphere, especially in the dark. Prices are hefty, but you can do it! I can't judge the food, we only ordered drinks.

Sehr freundliches Personal, tolles Angebot und ein schönes Ambiente. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Very good, fine and regional food and drinks and exceptionally friendly conditions (Ina - thank you very much for the friendly, humorous and thoughtful service! - that made the evening perfect!!!).

Perfect breakfast. Service 1A! Everything was fresh, I was very satisfied! Everything also available in lactose-free!

Highly recommended. Great ambience and very nice service. Gladly again.

Absolutely. Delicious food and very attentive service. Gladly again.

Ambience 10/10. Great food! The waitresses (especially Ricarda) are always super accommodating.

Sehr leckeres Essen in einem sehr angenehmen Ambiente mit einer super netten und kompetenten Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

The food was tasty and there was a sufficient selection. Ambiance and service was also great. Can only be recommended

Yes, service questionable, hard bread, potatoes from the day before yesterday.

The restaurant is highly recommended

Food and service are very good!

Very very nice lots of food. Also gluten free. Since I haven't been allowed to eat wheat for 13 years, it's often a shame that there is very little gluten-free in many hotels, but here there is an awful lot of gluten-free. I think that the food here in the hotel is incredibly tasty and varied. I can't complain. The service was also very, very nice. Thank you very much for this service and this large room and everything about it.

It was again very tasty and nice

Sunday brunch was consistently great, the trainees were lovingly trained by experienced staff.

We have enjoyed breakfast here several times and can highly recommend it. What should be highlighted is the friendly and attentive service staff, especially the junior staff Melinda and Malte. We'd love to come back.

A wonderful breakfast that leaves nothing to be desired. The food in the restaurant was of the best quality. In all areas the staff is attentive, friendly and helpful. We feel very welcome and cared for every time. See you next time.

There's not much to write about it other than: 100%. Hardly any hotel in Germany in this segment can keep up with breakfast. Keep it up and thank you for the great breakfast. This is the only reason why the trip to Rostock is worth it.

Great service :) Breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired!

Schöne Aussicht auf die Stadt und die Warnow, leckere Drinks und super Service! Wundervoller Ausklang nach einem Tag an der Ostsee.

Really delicious, service was super great. And it's great that there are alternatives for vegans :)

A short stop in Rostock - coincidence led us to KAI 40 - and we continued on happily. This was an indescribably beautiful culinary highlight of our Baltic Sea trip.

A great bar on the ground floor at the Radisson Blu with delicious drinks, the cocktail menu is very well designed. Special requests were also fulfilled. The service was super nice (although a bit overwhelmed at times). Now to the negative aspect: the (newly opened) rooftop bar was recommended to us. But an evening visit turned out to be a bitter disappointment. The great view was quickly spoiled because even after more than 10 minutes we weren't asked if we wanted something to drink... the waiters seemed completely overloaded - but we were warmly welcomed again on the ground floor.

Unfortunately, dogs are not welcome in this restaurant. So we decided not to visit.

We spontaneously looked for a family room and quickly found what we were looking for in the Radisson Blu in Rostock. The staff is incredibly friendly, but not intrusive. After a great meal followed by a sauna session, we sat down in the hotel bar with our kids and were warmly welcomed here too! Now we're enjoying our evening and the kids are playing in the play lounge. This is really how to endure it. One thing is certain for us... we'll be back!

Very nice service, (thanks to Vivienne) Eisbein was delicious, but unfortunately we had to forego the dessert because the portion was too large

A really, really nice restaurant with very courteous and friendly people in service and in the kitchen. We ate there with our 2 children. Both ours and the children's meals (chicken fricassee and schnitzel with fries) were extremely tasty. This is rare, especially with children's meals. Extra wishes were fulfilled and otherwise it was a successful experience there. We are very excited as a family. All four 👍🥰 It's worth going there!

Very tasty food (Wild Carbonara) Service very attentive and very friendly.

Great ambience. Very nice staff. Vivian in particular is a very positive, funny person. Anytime again... 👏👍💪

I accidentally discovered the KAI40 restaurant today. I just wanted to sit down quietly for a moment to book a sailing spot for the HanseSail using my cell phone. But I had poor data reception. The service employee welcomed me extremely nicely and responded to my situation sensitively. I asked for something maritime, she recommended the fish soup and let me choose a seat. I booked my ship and then spontaneously decided on the fish soup and water. First there were two slices of bread with delicious cranberry greaves and pleasantly salted butter. A little later I was served the white fish soup. A great recommendation! When I asked, the competent waiter explained to me that it was made without cream. The whitish broth is only created by the fish and the root vegetables. She said the fish taste would come out purer. I could agree with that. I asked about the rooftop bar and only then found out that the KAI40 belongs to the Radisson Blu hotel group. On the way to the toilet I discovered a kind of lounge area with a wine rack and a bar. Everything was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. Even in the light-flooded restaurant, I noticed the great lights on the ceiling. An extraordinary experience, all the employees I met and sometimes spoke to were very friendly, personable and competent. I would love to come again to enjoy the view from the roof over the city harbor or a wine - or to try another kitchen creation and have a nice conversation again. Absolute recommendation!

Very friendly staff, we like being here.

Very tasty Caesar salad and first of all a super delicious bread with sea salt butter. Great atmosphere and very polite staff.

The service is top - unfortunately the food is no more. On our last visit, the fries and fried potatoes were less than standard, the Baltic Sea pikeperch was unfortunately frozen and very dry. Unfortunately it's no longer worth the price. There would have been a small compensation for our feedback... but the drinks were good. Maybe we'll come back again... but not anytime soon. Very unfortunate.

I can only recommend it, super nice staff!

Delicious cocktails and beautiful views. We recommend. This is how you can end the evening over the rooftops of Rostock... 👍🏼

Der ideale Ort um nach einem anstrengende Tag mit einem Cocktail in der Hand den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen. Nette Mitarbeiter in der tollsten Location Rostock‘s. Ein Muss für jeden Besucher.

Wir erhielten die Empfehlung von unseren Kindern, in Ihrer Bar einzukehren. Dies war eine Superidee. Es war ein wunderschöner Abend, mit hervorragendem Service, leckeren Drinks, stilvollem Ambiente und wunderschönem Ausblick bei einem herrlichen Sonnenuntergang.

Sehr nettes Personal und tolle Atmosphäre mit einem unbeschreiblich schönen Ausblick.Sehr empfehlenswert! Wir kommen wieder

To start a cruise trip from Warnemünde, I was able to spend an evening here with my mother. What can I say, the food was exquisite and the service first class. Everything in a very nice and down-to-earth way. Many restaurants and kitchens can learn a lesson here! Thank you Kristin and Tessa for your attentive nature!

Highly recommended! Friendly staff. Nice ambience!

Wir haben hier sehr lecker und entspannt gegessen und wurden sehr aufmerksam bedient! Sehr zu empfehlen die lokalen Spezialitäten.

Sehr herzliches und freundliches Personal. Die GIN-Empfehlung war passend. Leider war die Ropf-Top-Bar geschlossen.

I am very excited about my stay here. The cocktails are highly recommended and the service, Kristin and Tristan, were also very friendly. We would always come back.

The atmosphere is very luxurious and very friendly. We particularly noticed Tristan the bartender with his recommendation of the beer and Kristin with her cool manner. We'd love to come back

The food was very very tasty and there was no skimping on the drinks and the staff were very very very nice especially Kristin, Ina and Vivi were very very nice

Staff super nice. Simply great food. Especially Ina & Kristin ❤️ I will remember and rave about it for a long time in Neu-ulm 😀

Super nice staff! Especially three girls, Ina, Kristin and Vivi!!!!! Food was delicious! I'd love to come back!

Super lovely staff and very tasty food... Service 10 out of 10
