Kranichrast in Zingst

We made a last-minute reservation for dinner by phone. The fish platter with three different fillets was a delight, and the service was very friendly.

Nice restaurant, a bit hidden, we came across it through the good reviews on the internet and were not disappointed. The four of us were there in the late afternoon in the off-season and it was therefore empty. We didn't have a reservation. In the evening, however, things are different and without a reservation you have little chance. The service was very nice and the food was very tasty. We sat outside on the terrace in sunny weather and had a nice view of a small pond. This restaurant is recommended.

Delicious food on our bike tour. The service was very nice and attentive.

Very good quality and good price/performance. We can highly recommend the restaurant!

Never again crane rest - a tragedy in several acts Anyone who expects a relaxing evening with good food and pleasant service should give the “Kranichrast” a wide berth. Our visit ended before it could even begin - and that was not our fault, but rather the innkeeper's remarkably unfriendly demeanor. We arrived five minutes before our reservation - not too early, mind you, but simply on time with a touch of anticipation. But instead of being greeted in a friendly manner, we were harshly expelled from the restaurant. Reason: We are too early. Several tables were obviously free and already set, but that didn't seem to bother anyone at the crane rest - in fact we were asked to wait in front of the door. Our polite request whether we could perhaps have a drink at the bar was rudely and categorically rejected. Instead of a welcome greeting, we received a strangely imperious tone and a clear message: We were not wanted here. When we expressed our incomprehension about this strange reception, we were quickly advised to leave the restaurant and not to come back. We were happy to oblige – with growing shaking of our heads. Anyone who treats their guests like this should worry less about star ratings and more about basic decency. Conclusion: arrogance instead of hospitality. If you value respectful treatment, it's better to look for another restaurant.

Great friendly service, dogs welcome, great fish dishes

Very polite treatment of the guests! Very good service! Well-stocked menu! We felt very comfortable! Thanks !

So everyone was friendly and accommodating to me, I can't complain. We had the Hamburger Schnitzel twice. At the beginning the recommendation of the day was also presented (which would have been fish dishes). The atmosphere was just as I imagined it, typical, no big surprises. You can pay in cash or with EC. We were here for lunch, so it was very quiet. But you should definitely make a reservation for dinner as it always seems to be full. But I also made a personal reservation for lunch, as I lived right next door. The food was tasty, the fried potatoes weren't swimming in oil like some of the other bad reviews. The side salad was very tasty with the dressing. The prices are like everywhere else, ok. The Hamburger Schnitzel came to €17.90 and the large soda €4.60. We spent a total of just under €48, which is great for two. The portion size was also more than enough. So everything is great.

It's always a pleasure to dine here and spend a pleasant evening.

Great slightly hidden restaurant! Super nice team, as if we had known each other forever! Nice, simple atmosphere and then the cracker, food that will blow you away! Whether meat or fish, delicious! Oh yes, and special requests are also fulfilled. Very happy again!

Delicious food and parking is also available 👍

We had a very good meal! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to special requests. Our furry friend wasn't a problem either.

Simple inn, nice hosts, simple, down-to-earth cuisine (in a positive sense) at fair prices.

Definitely super tasty and friendly service

The dish of cod fillet on braised cucumbers in Dijon mustard sauce took a lot of getting used to. The braised cucumbers were made from gherkins, which didn't go well with the mustard sauce. But the other dishes were all great. The staff very friendly. The ambience is simple.

Very tasty fish platter! Service was also great, we had made a reservation, but somehow that didn't work out and the four of us still got a table. Even though the restaurant was packed, the staff made it possible for us.

We had dinner here last night. Everything was fresh and delicious. Extra requests were accommodated without any problems. Thanks for the great evening.

The food was tasty and appealing. The quality is good and the service is attentive.

We were thrilled with our dishes and service today. Accordingly, the high rating in all points...

Today we're going to Zingst for lunch. My first impression was that it was a bit hidden, but when we arrived we found a very inviting place with a terrace that must be wonderful in summer. It is ideal for people with physical disabilities because it is at ground level and the parking lot is close. The entrance area was well maintained and we were greeted warmly. The staff had a smile and showed us to the seat, which we were free to choose. The drinks, such as wine and Prosecco, came quickly and sensibly chilled. We were immediately in the mood for main courses and fish (which is quite rare for me). I treated myself to the Kranihrast fish platter with fillets of cod, zander and salmon with extra prawns, fried potatoes and remolade as there are several types of fish that have to have different cooking points in order to be top, just to see how the chef understands and implements his craft. My companion had fried medallions of cod on braised cucumbers with Dijon mustard sauce and parsley potatoes. The individual types of fish (for both of us) were well done. For me, the salmon and shrimp were too cooked and therefore dry, so the generous amount of butter didn't help. Maybe cooking with lemon juice would have been enough and the salamander would finally do the rest. Since the citric acid reacts with the protein of fish, it would be the best method (in my opinion). The other types of fish were on point and the braised cucumber salt was great. The tartar sauce wasn't homemade but that can be misleading (and the bearded potatoes don't come close to those from Sandkorn Alex Prerow😜). Desserts were Mecklenburger Rote Grütze and chocolate mousse with wild berries. In both cases the berries were very sour but still tasty. Let's come to one of my most important points, the toilet was so clean and had everything I value. Even the CHROME door handles/fittings were so polished that you could really see a reflection, awesome. Ok, we were among the first guests and then at lunchtime too. You have to take a look at the evening business. Conclusion: price/management excellent, ideal for sociable, relaxed evenings. We'll be back.

My daughter and I are currently on a short wellness trip in Zingst and spontaneously visited the Kranihrast inn...the service was very friendly and, above all, quick and attentive. We really enjoyed our food... my fried flounder was great and my child ate up the tagliatelle with spinach and salmon like the wind. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. The prices are reasonable up here... Definitely worth a visit👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Food is OK but not much homemade. Salads are from a can and I didn't hear a knock from the kitchen for the schnitzel. The interior is quite normal, not necessarily comfortable.

Nice restaurant, polite and quick service

Open all year round! Solid German cuisine and very good fried fish! Crane rest plate also OK! But not a sensation either! SERVICE friendly and fast!

The ambience is from typical restaurant times. The food is to die for. The fish was perfect, as were the fried potatoes. Crispy and tender inside, not greasy perfect. If you are in Zingst you should definitely eat here!

A cozy restaurant that serves good traditional cuisine. The food was first class and even the children cleaned the entire plate, it was so delicious. The fish platter was perfectly prepared. All three types of fish were cooked to perfection. The fillet platter was also immaculate. And for the kids, the schnitzel and the buffers were a “precision landing” The service is first class and super friendly. All in all, a very nice restaurant where you can stop by.

We were there over New Year's Eve, a call at lunchtime to make a reservation, very friendly on the phone despite high demand, nice cozy restaurant with friendly staff even when we were stressed. The food was really delicious and everything was freshly prepared at a good price, we would be happy to come back.

Wir haben das Restaurant Ende Dezember besucht und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Essen war hervorrangend und das Personal sehr aufmerksam und stets bemüht, dass wir uns wohlfühlen. Aufgrund der Beliebtheit des Restaurants ist eine Reservierung empfehlenswert.

We visited the restaurant at the end of December and were very satisfied. The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive and always tried to make us feel comfortable. Due to the popularity of the restaurant, reservations are recommended.

Very friendly service and very clean restaurant.

Sehr leckeres Essen, frischer Fisch und super Service. Wir waren in der Nebensaison zu Gast und haben den Abend sehr genossen. Ein Besuch empfehlen wir gern.

Good cuisine and fair price-performance ratio, but there is still a need for development in the staff. They had forgotten our order.

Ruhig gelegen und keine Hektik. Die Gäste fühlen sich wohl. Unser erster Besuch hier hat uns angenehm überrascht. Regionale Gerichte, so wie wir es erwarten. Aufmerksamer Service. Alles hat geschmeckt und wir werden gerne wieder wiederkommen. Wir freuen uns schon.

Good food and friendly service but I think you could do more with the ambience

The food was delicious, service was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for the food. The space is also very inviting. It would be nice if the children were offered something to paint with. We were missing that. Otherwise everything was great! 🙂

Ich kann die negativen Bewertungen nicht verstehen. Wir waren Silvester da essen und mehr als zufrieden. Der Service war super. Wir wurden freundlich darauf hingewiesen , dass wir eine anderthalbe Stunde zum Essen Zeit haben. Völlig ausreichend und kein Gast hat dies bemängelt. Das Essen war super, alles frisch und der Fisch auf den Punkt. Die Nachspeisen waren auch sehr lecker und frisch gemacht.

We ate there on New Year's Eve and it was very good. The service was great and we didn't have to wait too long for our food despite being stressful. The fish was perfectly fried, the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Unfortunately I cannot share negative experiences.

We had dinner at the Kranihrast on New Year's Eve, and the service was unfriendly and unmotivated from the first moment. Shortly after the main course, for which we had to wait about 40 minutes, we were asked to pay and leave. The next guests would already be waiting. We had to empty our still full glasses in a hurry. Has little to do with comfortable. Everything tasted very good but the service was a disaster. Recurrence is therefore rather unlikely.

A very nice location with very nice staff and really tasty dishes, especially the fish is highly recommended!! Extremely satisfied 👍

Delicious fish at fair prices, good schnapps and friendly service.

We called and wanted to reserve a table. On the phone they said rather rudely, “Just come over”… 20 minutes later in the restaurant… “Have you made a reservation?” “No? Phew, we’ll have to see if we can find something…” Seriously? I would have preferred to go back. Very unpleasant feeling… After the difficult beginning, the service was good so far! The ambience was okay. Food absolutely top. We would go there again for the food (which is what matters), but unfortunately the difficult start remains in our minds…

Wenn man gut gebratenen...nicht Toten Fisch essen möchte, dann ist Kranich rast die richtige Adresse 👍😍ein grosses Lob ans team

The restaurant is not bad, but unfortunately guests are not allowed to freely choose the payment method. The fact that only German EC cards (which have not been available for several years) are accepted is very strange in an international holiday destination and leaves an unpleasant feeling.

Very tasty food and super nice service.

I didn't have a reservation and still got a table. The food and beer were great. Nice service and everything was prepared quickly.

We spent another wonderful evening here. Great service, lots of fun, ultra delicious food and, most importantly: the child's special requests were implemented perfectly. Thank you for the lovely hours!

Tastes very tasty Unfortunately you cannot reserve a table

The food was good. I had Bratherig. Nice firm flesh and luscious. The staff could have been friendlier. I found it a bit impersonal and didn't know exactly what was on offer. In any case, the waitress couldn't answer my question about a schnapps (caraway).

Very clean and tidy. Food is great.

We wanted to eat there on vacation, unfortunately everything was full. When we wanted to wait at the counter for a free table, the innkeeper said he didn't want us to wait outside the door. I don't think that's possible, we would have already ordered something to drink at the counter. Apparently the restaurant doesn't need to take care of guests

I wouldn't recommend it based on the service. The quality of the Hamburger Schnitzel was not good. My fish platter was ok

Sehr nette Bewirtung bei netten Gästen. Die Unhöflichkeit der Gäste lässt man sich nicht gefallen, was auch gut so ist. Essen auch sehr lecker und reichhaltig, kommen gerne wider.

Great restaurant. Delicious food. The fish platter is highly recommended.

Delicious home-style cuisine at fair prices. Nice service and attractive ambience. Happy to come back!

Food, service and nicely decorated

A really very cozy atmosphere, very nice and attentive service and of course very tasty food. Unfortunately, we didn't discover the restaurant until the end of our vacation, but we were there again the next (and unfortunately last) evening. A big compliment to the kitchen, very tastefully prepared and also very pleasing to the eye. I can really only recommend it!

The Kranichrast inn is located just outside the pedestrian zone on Lindenstrasse. It is fully comfortably furnished. The menu has something for everyone from fish and well-known meat. There was also regional fish on offer today. The food is very tasty and has decent portions. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. Everything is very clean and cozy. We would love to come back.

Nice little inn with charm. The food was good, but the service was a little grumpy. No smile on the lips. Dogs are allowed in the inn.

So it's no wonder that there are only almost good reviews here. Bad reviews are reported to Google as defamation. We wanted to eat in this restaurant on October 5th, 2024... with advance notice. When we were there (with 2 children) we were rudely turned away... very unfriendly woman.

Nice service with a willing and courteous attitude, highly recommended, the only drawback was that the schnitzel wasn't quite good...

Dieses Lokal ist überhaupt nicht zu empfehlen, es sei denn man möchte sich mit dem Serviceleiter im Empfang anlegen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Herrn ist nicht auf Kundenorientierung ausgelegt. Das arrogante Verhalten am Telefon zeigt mir, er braucht und will auch keine Kunden. Bisher waren wir in unseren Urlauben immer dort und haben mit 5 Personen jeden Abend mindestens 250€ ausgegeben. Das hat sich für die Zukunft erledigt.

We (4 people) wanted to spend a cozy evening here today. The reason for the selection was the good recessions. Unfortunately a big mistake and Unfortunately I have to agree with all the negative reviews. Sad 😢 but true! When we arrived we weren't really welcomed. After a lot of back and forth, we finally got a table. The service was not only curt, but there was a complete lack of friendliness and we didn't feel welcome. It stayed that way until the end, with the exception of a younger service lady with a foreign accent. Not only did she have a smile, but she was overall friendly. During our visit There was no harmony at all, we were processed quickly and carelessly - like in a large canteen. The food was ok, but nothing more. Any amateur cook can do it just as well. Our conclusion: Fast tourist processing at overpriced prices. Unfortunately, this restaurant has nothing to do with good gastronomy. Good service - good staff in these times is probably not available here either. We cannot recommend this restaurant. It's just disappointing.

Very nice service except for the boss, who is friendliness personified

Great food, nice hosts, very good value for money

Very nice service and good tasty food. Price performance ok

Great value for money...you just need to bring a little time with you. But ok, a small talk is always possible. So I recommend it.

The four of us were very lucky to get one of the last free tables. Unfortunately it was our last evening in Zingst, otherwise we would certainly have returned again. The food was fantastic, Babett's service was friendly, approachable and attentive, and the drinks were delicious. We had schnitzel, pan and fish, all dishes were delicious and the portions were more than sufficient.

Wir wurden recht unfreundlich zum warten vor die Tür geschickt. Und draußen warteten wir mind. 10 Minuten ohne das jemand uns auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht hat. Essen war so lala. Kinderfreundlich gleich null!

Friendly staff, wonderful cuisine, highly recommended.

Very good cuisine, staff and ambience. Absolutely recommended. You don't really need anything more to feel good! Thank you for “very good food”!

The food was very tasty. We had the fish platter from the menu. A pleasure 😋 The service staff served us really attentively and friendly👌 We felt very comfortable in the nostalgic, cozy atmosphere. We were completely satisfied with our choice 🙂

Rarely eaten so well. Absolutely recommended. Whether fish or meat, they can do it. Very nice and professional service too.

Delicious food and attentive, friendly service

Hello, we had a herring stew with fried potatoes and a fish soup. Both were very tasty and the price-performance ratio was right.

Great ambience, very tasty food, friendly staff, away from the hustle and bustle

So inviting that you would like to stay longer. We had the daily recommendation tried salmon fillet, cod, bacon, beans, dill sauce and fried potatoes. Super tasty 😋

The food is excellent, but some of the staff are unfortunately very unfriendly. We were sent to the door because there didn't seem to be any free tables. However, there is a counter with a bar stool where we could have been offered to sit and wait for a free table. We preferred not to wait at the door and went to another restaurant. The big gentleman, who seems to be the boss, still has to work a lot on being friendly.

Very nice restaurant, the service staff is very friendly and nice, the food is absolutely great. A pleasure

The food was very, very good. Staff super friendly. Waiting times can be longer, but they are okay for the quality that comes. Flair: 2000s spa flair. It has something rustic and fits here. If you want some really good food you should go here. If you're a little younger and maybe even have a tattoo, the older audience will look at you strangely. This has nothing to do with the store. Only with the guests he attracts. Oh well: dog friendly

NIE NIE WIEDER !! Wir sind wirklich schockiert über den unhöflichen Umgang, den wir in diesem Restaurant erlebt haben. Es ist für uns unverständlich, wie die positiven Bewertungen zustande kommen.?? Wir wollten mit 6 erwachsenen Personen einen schönen Abend mit gutem Essen erleben. Eine telefonische Reservierung war nicht möglich. Man teilte uns mit, es seien in Moment noch mehrere Tische frei, wenn wir zeitnah kommen, hätten wir gute Chancen, einen freien Tisch zu bekommen. 15 Minuten später sind wir im Kranichrast angekommen und wir wurden regelrecht mit Geschrei beim Betreten des Restaurants vom Inhaber unfreundlich und gereizt herausgeworfen. So ein respektloses Verhalten gegenüber Gästen haben wir noch nicht erlebt. Es ist eine Sache, wenn es in einem Restaurant Stress gibt, aber Gäste so unhöflich rauszuwerfen geht gar nicht. Wir werden dieses Restaurant definitiv nicht noch einmal besuchen und kann es niemandem empfehlen, der Wert auf guten Service und respektvollen Umgang legt. Unser Fazit: Personalschulungen in dieser Region wären sukzessiv empfehlenswert. NUE NIE

Ziemlich ernüchternd, Wir waren vor einpaar Jahren schon einmal da und hatten das Restaurant in guter Erinnerung. Nicht viel von geblieben! Auf Nachfrage des Anzündens der Kerze auf dem Tisch, Antwort des Kellners, er ist Nichtraucher und hat kein Feuerzeug. Ich dachte, es wäre ein Scherz und es käme in den nächsten Minuten jemand mit einem Feuerzeug an den Tisch. Nichts geschah. Die Scholle war einfach nur trocken und totgebraten. Gemütlichkeit und gutes Essen, fehl am Platz. Der Gast ist ein geduldeter Besucher.

As always, very good cuisine and friendly service. One of our favorite restaurants in Zingst.

Die Bedienung war sehr gestresst. Dort war auch wirklich sehr viel los. Trotzdem kann man sich mache Sprüche sparen. Uns wurde der Hochzeitstag sehr vermiest. Mein Zander war gut. Beilagen flach und ideenlos. Bratkartoffeln waren nur matschig. Salat nicht zu empfehlen. Schade

The food was okay but not great, but the service was terrible, especially for Poles. The menu is only in German and the staff does not or does not want to speak English, and is discriminatory against Poles. One person from my group started smoking in the garden (there were ashtrays on the tables and there were only us in the garden) and was asked to leave the restaurant, but when the Germans came and the garden was full, they smoked at the tables without any reaction from the staff. The portions brought to us were smaller than those given to the Germans. I definitely do not recommend using this place if you are not German!

A greeting to the kitchen team. Thanks for the very good food. There was really a lot to do during the days and yet every plate looked well prepared, the taste was also very well coordinated and the quality was good. The service was also very well coordinated. Only recommended. Price, performance is right.

The friendliness of the staff is underground. We sat at a table full of drafts and asked the waitress to change tables twice after other tables became available. She said twice, that won't work and they'll just sit here, My fried potatoes were lukewarm and grayish in color. The fish was OK. We wouldn't go to this restaurant again.

We asked for a reservation but it was refused. The welcome was very unfriendly, all the tables inside were free! We were still instructed to sit at a very small table for two instead of sitting at a table for four. We wanted to eat a starter, main course + dessert with a good bottle of wine and possibly a second bottle, we went there based on a recommendation. We immediately left the unfriendly restaurant. No recommendation for this unfriendliness

Wir hatten um Reservierung im Innenbereich gebeten, Reservierungen wurden abgelehnt. Bei Eintritt wurden wir schon höchst unfreundlich empfangen soweit man überhaupt von Empfang sprechen kann. Im Innenraum waren nur 2 kleine Tische besetzt ansonsten war alles frei so dass wir uns einen Tisch für 4 Personen ausgesucht hatten da wir Vorspeise/ Hauptspeise mit einer guten Flasche Wein den Abend genießen wollten. Daraufhin wurden angewiesen einen einen Tisch für 2 Personen nehmen, die ziemlich beengt waren. Wir gehen im Urlaub jeden Tag essen, meist zwischen 90,-€- 100,-€ aber der Service muss stimmen. Wir können von diesem Lokal nur abraten, diese unpersönliche unverschämte unfreundliche Art haben wir noch nie erlebt

Very nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Food great. We were very satisfied.

It was really delicious. The service was very friendly to us. We were welcomed with our dog. Highly recommended. From 6 p.m. people line up to get in there. I've never seen anything like that before.

Zu dritt haben wir uns um 16 Uhr am 31.08.2024 im Restaurant getroffen. Es gab noch genügend Platz im Biergarten. Die Bedienung war in 2 Minuten mit den Speisekarten und Getränkekarten am Tisch. Es wurde ausführlich von den Tagesangeboten berichtet. Die Bestellung der Getränke kam zügig. Das Essen kam nach 10 Minuten, was schon sehr schnell ist. Es hat uns allen gut geschmeckt. Mehrmals wurde gefragt ob alles in Ordnung ist und ob wir noch etwas wünschen. Alles in allem können wir die Lokalität empfehlen.

Very good service! Fish was spot on Very nicely prepared Outdoor terrace functionally furnished We will come again

We went for dinner today. Terrace fully occupied except for a bench for 8 people. But that only works for 8 people. Only tables inside. So put it there. After 10 minutes, two tables became available on the terrace. When asked if we could move to the terrace, we received a mushy negative answer: That's not possible! The food we ordered took about 45 minutes. We've been there several times this year, so today was the last time. Unfortunately, I can't tolerate that much kindness.

Nice atmosphere with a small pond in front, including water lilies and frogs. Not on the main mile of Zingst :-)

Great restaurant in all respects. An experience in Zingst.

Very unfriendly staff, hospitality is a foreign concept. Food partly inedible.

The cake and coffee are of very good quality. The staff is very friendly, except for the older lady. Unfortunately, it does nothing to make you feel welcome. And alas, it starts to rain: it is strictly forbidden to sit down in the dining room, even though there is enough space there. Original tone of the lady: we don't do any implementations here, if it rains, then it rains! We're avoiding this "inn" now.

August2024. Very friendly staff. Absolutely fair prices! The quality and quantity are absolutely great. Very happy again!

The food was very tasty, unfortunately we had to wait a long time for our food and the staff could be a bit friendlier.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to take the positive reviews seriously. The Kranihrast house seems to be doing well. Unfriendly. Derogatory. Families have no place here. That is the impression the employees give. It's crazy that something like this lasts. A shame for Zingst. Find another restaurant, the food can't be that good you have to do this to yourself.
