Kellergeister in Rostock

A cozy restaurant with very friendly staff and good food.

Not recommended. We had our Christmas party on December 6th. We made a reservation in October and received confirmation. When we arrived on the day, there was a sign saying it was a private event. We were turned away at the door without an apology. They hadn't even contacted us beforehand. A complete disgrace and unprofessional. NEVER AGAIN!!!! Thankfully, there are so many great restaurants in Rostock that it wasn't a problem getting a table, even for a large group.

Beautiful restaurant in a vaulted cellar. Very tasty food and friendly service.

We went there for a company dinner with 15 people. It's cozy and the menu is easy to understand. The prices are affordable and I thought the food was very tasty. I would have liked dumplings and ginger ale, but otherwise it was excellent 👍🏻

On November 20, 2025, our group of 26 stopped at the Kellergeister restaurant after a night watchman tour as part of a company event, to enjoy a relaxing end to our evening. It was the perfect place. The service was quick and friendly, and the pre-ordered meals were simply divine. Whether fish or duck, vegetarian or soup, everything was prepared with love, and you could taste it. And then there was dessert… mmm 😋 Thank you so much, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We look forward to seeing you again.

Highly recommended! Seriously friendly, Hanseatic service and a menu that leaves nothing to be desired. Don't plan anything else after that; everything else you eat later in the evening will have to take a back seat. We'll definitely be back!

This place is definitely worth a visit! The food is absolutely delicious, everything is super fresh, and it's not a chain restaurant. The atmosphere is very cozy with incredibly warm and friendly service. We celebrated our wedding there and want to say a huge thank you again for everything. We had a wonderful time with you. We will definitely be back many times! 🫶🥰

We had a wonderful evening as a couple!!! The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and the vaulted cellar is truly unique. The service is incredibly kind and friendly, yet also personal and welcoming. Now for the most important part: the food. It was freshly cooked (sadly, that's not always the case anymore), absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and generously portioned. They offer good, traditional German cuisine that is perfectly balanced and well-seasoned. The menu is concise but more than adequate. I much prefer that to a million different dishes that only taste half-baked. Overall, everything was fantastic, and we will definitely be back!!

Exceptional service, couldn't ask for a better way of being welcomed and treated. The food was also nice, well made and good portions. Thank you!

The food was delicious and fresh, as the menu wasn't overwhelming. Great service – friendly, attentive, and courteous. A beautiful vaulted cellar – rustic and cozy. Cleanliness and restrooms were top-notch. However, not suitable for wheelchair users. We'll be back! 👍

Very nice restaurant in an old cellar vault.

Thank you so much for this wonderful evening. We felt very welcome. Your food was delicious, and everything else was perfect. Best wishes, the birthday girl +1.

An excellent meal in an exceptional setting. Impeccable service, very well-prepared dishes. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious, the service was truly excellent, and overall it was a very enjoyable evening. I highly recommend it!

Everything was impeccable! Very tasty, cozy, rustic atmosphere as you'd expect from a cellar vault, and excellent service. A clear 5 out of 5.

A very nice restaurant with delicious food. Excellent service 👍👍👍 Thank you for the lovely evening 😊

We were truly pampered in this 17th-century vaulted cellar. Extremely hospitable. Delicious food, regional cuisine, and Rostock beer. Excellent value for money. Nothing was left to be desired.

If you're in Rostock, you should eat here at least once. Perfect, the service, the food perfect. We were completely satisfied. Thank you very much, we'll definitely be back.

Thank you for the delicious food and friendly service. We'll definitely be back 👍

Very nice waiter, he's passionate about his job, as is the chef. The food was freshly prepared, nothing canned. Everything was delicious. The ambiance was also great. We'll be back.

A quaint restaurant in a small vaulted cellar. The service was very pleasant; you simply feel at home here. The food was also very tasty and of good quality. A must-try when in Rostock.

Our favorite during our trip to Rostock. Authentic, friendly, and quaint. Friendly service, excellent food, and fair prices. Highly recommended!

A very nice restaurant with great service: attentive, warm, and yet pleasantly relaxed, exactly what I would expect as a guest, and the food was delicious. The main course initially seemed a bit small, but paired with an appetizer, the portion was just right and pleasantly filling, without leaving me feeling hungry or overfilled. The Rostocker Zwickel (beer) was particularly delicious as a perfect accompaniment. All in all, a successful evening with friendly, attentive service – highly recommended!

Very pleasant ambiance, friendly, attentive service. Delicious food with sensational value for money. Highly recommended. Make a reservation to ensure a spot. It's on my list ☝️

Nice ambience, nice and friendly waiter and the food was delicious too 👌

Super friendly service. In the old vaulted cellar. Delicious ghost pans. We'd gladly return.

I spontaneously called to see if it was still possible to make it tonight... I received a genuine and warm welcome... A fantastic starter (feta cheese) and a delicious main course (cordon bleu), which was a very generous portion... Friendly, friendly service and a rustic atmosphere. If we ever come back to ROS, we'll be happy to come back!

We were there today and it was very tasty. All the dishes were homemade, including schnitzel, etc. I highly recommend it. The Jellner was excellent. Simply amazing people visit this restaurant.

Highly recommended if you want to eat delicious food in a very nice ambience, I had the veal liver absolutely soft and slightly pink, absolutely great, would give more stars if I could

Interesting menu, incredibly friendly service, and a rustic atmosphere (warm in the summer because the restaurant is located in the basement). The food was okay, but could have been improved. The pork fillet could have been a bit juicier, more eggnog in the ice cream sundae, and little things that don't really matter. We'd be happy to come back.

Simply fantastic!! My boyfriend and I ate the platter for two and we were thrilled. Great quality, great prices, and of course, a huge compliment to the Kellergeister team. Great service and a huge compliment to your kitchen. We'll be back next time we're in Rostock :).

Super friendly, with a few kind words for every guest. Delicious food and a cozy vaulted cellar. Honest prices and top quality. Thank you!

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We ate there for our wedding. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The restaurant is small, quaint, and cozy, with a warm and informal atmosphere. The tables were lovingly set. The menu was top-notch. We'd love to come back. If we could, we'd give it 10 stars. Thank you!

A truly authentic Rostock restaurant! Delicious food, typically regional. Prices are absolutely reasonable, the owner is super friendly, and the atmosphere in the vaulted cellar is fantastic. The service is also absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.

A cozy restaurant with a unique atmosphere. Friendly staff and excellent food. Good value for money.

Excellent food and a very friendly waiter. The ambiance is simple and very cozy. Worth a visit.

The ambiance is very quaint and appealed to me personally. I liked the open, friendly service. You really can't complain about the prices here. You get a really adequate amount for what you pay. I ordered a grilled platter. The ribs were delicious, but they were quite tough. They say that ribs should almost fall off the bone. That was definitely not the case here. The chicken thighs were also a bit tough. The rest of the food was just right, not tough, and well-seasoned. The sauces were also really delicious.

My boyfriend and I went there for the first time for a spontaneous date night. It was a bit smaller than expected but still sufficient. We got a table straight away without a reservation on a Saturday evening. The service was polite and attentive. We were completely satisfied with the starter, main course, and dessert. The portions were reasonable for the prices. I can highly recommend the homemade bread with the sour cream dip. I found the lighting very pleasant. Despite the warm weather, the temperature was comfortable. You can also order in English and pay by card. I'm thrilled and would love to come back!

Very good German food that doesn't boast being more than it is, but is excellent quality for the price point. The atmosphere was top quality and the service couldn't be better. Can only recommend

We were looking for a restaurant serving German cuisine and found one. Everything was absolutely fantastic, including the chicken heart soup, the Kellermeisterteller (cellar master's plate), and the Hamburg schnitzel (good thing the Haus Sonne-Hotel isn't that far away). It couldn't be better, and the prices are amazing! If in Rostock, only go there, thank you.

Highly recommended! We've been there several times, and our first impressions have been confirmed. Quality, service, ambiance, child-friendly... Everything's just right. If time permits, the hosts are happy to take the time for an anecdote or small talk. The prices are very reasonable, starting at around €12 for a main course.

The reservation worked perfectly via email, even at short notice. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The price/performance ratio was completely acceptable. The portions were normal. I could have eaten more 🤭 but I'm not average 😉

Great service and good food. I'd go back anytime.

Wir wissen nicht, wo wir anfangen sollen. Perfekter Service mit Herz, kinderlieb, aufmerksam und unheimlich freundlich. Die Speisen…DIE SPEISEN. Selbstgebackenes Brot, eine eigene Hausmarinade, tolle Portionen und ein unverkennbarer Pinselstreich der Küche….wenn wir ein Restaurant ähnlicher Güte vor unserer Haustür hätten, wären wir seelig. An das familiengeführte Restaurant: weiter so! Es ist perfekt. An den potentiellen Gast: nehmt den kleinen Umweg in Kauf, wir garantieren Begeisterung.

We were passing through and were both hungry after a day of driving and in the mood for a cozy, unhurried space. By chance, we found everything our hearts desired and more. The whole family enjoyed the food, and the service was warm and attentive. And the prices were very fair! We'd love to come back! :)

A beautiful restaurant in a vaulted cellar. I received a friendly welcome and very good service. I ordered the steak pan with mushroom sauce, French fries, and sour cream. The food was incredibly delicious and piping hot until the last bite. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular there by now.

Highly recommended, Good food, great service

Good portion sizes, very tasty, great atmosphere, and very friendly service. Definitely recommendable!

Super delicious food, huge portions, and very friendly service! We had a wonderful evening at fair prices!

Highly recommended, something different and the cellar vault is from the 16th century. We were also very friendly to our child and even gave us pens and coloring sheets.

We, six former Mecklenburg girls, reserved a table there based on the good reviews and were not disappointed. We were able to spend a very nice evening there with a wonderful atmosphere and unique food and would like to thank you very much for that. We felt very welcome and were served very nicely; it was like “coming home” for us. We went to other Rostock restaurants that weekend, but none could keep up with the outstanding food and great service. A clear recommendation and guaranteed again on the next trip to Rostock.

Surprisingly cozy and cleverly run cellar restaurant. It's worth going down the stairs. Approximately 40 seats with super-friendly service. Very tasty food, whether fish or meat or salad. Homemade warm bread with sour cream. All highly recommended.

Very cozy place to get dinner in rostock. The server was very friendly and the food was good value for money

Perfect ambience and perfect food. We haven't had such good food in a restaurant for a long time. Fresh cooking is done here. We were all more than satisfied. Unusual!

Highly recommended. Food and drinks were delicious. Service very nice and attentive. Civilian prices. Getne again.

The tastiest food we ate in the days here in Rostock. The composition of the dishes > Mega! Great atmosphere and nice, courteous staff.

The food was delicious. It could have been a little spicier, but the pepper mill helped.

Very nice restaurant, the cellar atmosphere is nice. Food and staff top 👍

A fantastic rustic restaurant. The waiter was super friendly and entertaining.

Very timely and suitable for lingering, gladly again

A definite recommendation. We forgot to make a reservation, but we still got a table, with the fair warning that we should expect to wait about an hour, as they only have a small kitchen. The wait was worth it! You can tell the cooking here is done with passion. Everything is delicious, and the portions are generous. We'd be happy to go back!

I've been coming to these lovely people for many years and it's always delicious. Schnitzel and duck in particular are unbeatable!!!!

We were there as a group today and we can only recommend it. It was my first time there and I was very positively surprised. Nice cellar restaurant, very friendly and quick service and the food was also very varied and tasty. We will come again.

Very tasty and plentiful. Very friendly and attentive service. Nice cellar atmosphere. Thank you for the successful evening.

Were there at 5:00 p.m. and received a very friendly welcome. The service was great and also available for little jokes. The dishes were very tasty and neatly portioned. The ambience invites you to linger longer. A very clear recommendation to anyone who wants to visit a restaurant in Rostock.

A wonderful atmosphere and great food. The waiter was super personable and also very attentive (immediately gave water for my dog ​​🤩). You just feel good and we'll be back soon.

We went to our annual celebration with the Kellergeister and really enjoyed the evening. Werner's service was top notch, the table was very nicely set up, the drinks came quickly, the food was plentiful, tasted great and was also a feast for the eyes. Absolute recommendation!

Unique!! You can immediately tell that these “cellar spirits” love their job! The food is delicious and the service is very good! Of course, at certain times it is also very well attended. A table reservation would be an advantage. Thank you again for the great time with you and good luck for 2025!

Were there in a large group. Ordering went quickly. But had to wait 90 minutes for the food. Unfortunately. The food could use a little more salt. Otherwise it was okay. The service too. The ambience is very worth seeing.

We went for dinner with friends If you could give more stars 🌟 I would give them, it's a great restaurant, everything is great, the ambience, the food, the service is top!!! We can also recommend the fruit brandies. It's a must to go there again next time you visit!

The waiter is very nice. Food tastes great. Atmosphere is also good. Very recommend

We found this restaurant through Google by chance. Were in Rostock for just one evening and were looking for something for dinner. We are positively surprised. Have rarely sat and eaten so well. The service was great, as was the food. You can taste the joy of cooking. From the kitchen you could hear meat being plated. A rare sound these days. Everything was freshly cooked and prepared with love, despite the tables being full (Christmas parties). The portions are great! You're not full just by looking at your plate. Conclusion: We would love to come back!

This was our second time there and we had nothing but great experiences. The service is super friendly, the food is on the table promptly and very fresh and tasty. It is absolutely recommended. Great value for money and very cozy atmosphere.

The duck was super tasty and the atmosphere was really cozy and they were friendly too

Cozy atmosphere and very good food.

Beautiful and special environment, with careful food and very good service!

To the cellar ghost. To be honest, I have to mention that I originally wanted to go to another similar restaurant, but it didn't have any free tables. But sometimes there is luck in "misfortune"... because I was more than thrilled and surprised at how private you feel in the cellar and our charming waiter was immediately taken to heart... his natural manner was refreshing and his advice was in Very tasty in every way... I can say that I highly recommend the food, which was served quickly, hot and tasty, and my wife was also more than enthusiastic about her food. To drink we had Rostocker Zwickel which was personally recommended to me.... as written, by the nice waiter. The restaurant is in a small but very beautiful vaulted cellar, feels very intimate and is highly recommended.

Small but good home-style gastronomy freshly prepared which is very pleasant in the taste

A rustic cellar where there is really delicious food. The service was friendly and accommodating.

Das Schnitzel frisch geklopft und alles anderer war auch frisch und sehr lecker zubereitet. Bedienung 5Sterne plus Da wird noch mit Herz gekocht und bedient. Sehr empfehlenswert

Recommended location, remember to make a reservation

Great food with a great atmosphere, keep it up.

Really delicious food and great service! We were absolutely thrilled. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating, took his time and responded to our requests, you just felt comfortable. For an even nicer ambience, it would be good if the music could be heard a little more spread out in the room. But overall we were super happy! :)

Very good food in a rustic atmosphere with very nice service.

Really delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. And I find the prices to be completely OK

Nice place. As the name suggests, it is located in a vaulted cellar. Service very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good and sufficient. A good address to eat out in Rostock.

Hello, super friendly, personable and relaxed service. Also kudos to the chef who had the schnitzel with fried potatoes and mushrooms. Great portion, not too much, not too little. Great ambience, Gladly again!

Visited spontaneously, a real positive surprise, rather inconspicuous from the outside, inside next to a very nice employee, a real surprise. You can sit, dine and chat nicely in the vaulted cellar. It won't be the last visit.

Personal restaurant with nice atmosphere. The food was well made and reasonably priced. Good level of service with a waiter who was really interested in making sure we had a good experience. I recommend this place!

Delicious food. Everything was great. After a week of eating out in Germany, this was the best. The food was perfectly prepared, the wine and beer of very good quality. And the host is everything you want to feel very welcome. Hot bath 👍

Great food, excellent wines, perfect beers. Best dinner we had after i days dining out in northern germany. Service was attentive and friendly, without being pushy. A perfect experience, full stop.

We, my brother-in-law and I, two, um, mature gentlemen, came across this restaurant by chance. We were very impressed. Great atmosphere, very friendly and the food was really good. We will definitely come back and would be happy to recommend the Kellergeister.

We were very impressed by the rooms and the ambience...everyone was very friendly...if we had any questions, everything was explained very well...great service - very friendly - and good home-style cuisine (I can tell you I had a great time tasted delicious). Go in and take a look and form your own opinion...lg

Super delicious food, we have rarely eaten so well! We felt very comfortable and our daughter was able to paint and joke around with the bartender. When we are in Rostock again, we will definitely come by again.

Everything was fantastic. Delicious food, good value for money, friendly service, nice and cozy rooms. Only the pop music that popped up every now and then ruined the ambience a bit for us - but for the older generation at the table next door it was completely fine.

Enjoy and feast. It was a huge pleasure. The dessert selection is also highly recommended. Humorous and friendly service. Highly recommended.

The food was very tasty and the service was very nice 👌. Definitely coming back.

We stumbled upon many interesting restaurants in Rostock, but Kellergeister piqued our interest. We came across the restaurant in the basement by chance. Nice atmosphere, very nice and attentive service. We really liked the selection on the menu. I had the Kellergeisterschlemmerpfanne and my friend had the Cordon Bleu. We got decent sized portions and we enjoyed it very much. Other guests' dishes also looked decent. Price performance for our taste, TOP! Thank you.

Great food. Super Service. Very nice and simple furnishings. We would love to come back and enjoy the evening there.
