La Chance am Meer in Kellenhusen (Ostsee)

We were very satisfied with the food. The service was very friendly and attentive. Our dog was even brought a bowl of water right away.👍

Excellent service, very attentive, and friendly. The food was delicious. The meze platter is highly recommended, and the chocolate cake for dessert was also outstanding.

La Chance = Pure rip-off! My husband and I ate here today on our arrival day. We had Pizza Diabolo and a Greek salad. Both were available for €17.90. BUT, what was only mentioned in the small print was the price for a topper of about 10 shrimp for €10.90, which borders on cheeky and impertinent. We'll never see this restaurant again. Moreover, the service wasn't particularly friendly or attentive. Compared to last year, La Chance has deteriorated considerably! Value for money = 6

Was nice and quiet when we visited. Nice waiter, was always attentive

We ate there one evening with our young son. One of the waiters seemed strange and completely confused, especially because of the orders from neighboring tables. We only had to wait about 20 minutes for three pizzas, the numbers of which the waiter completely mixed up when taking our orders. Unfortunately, they didn't taste very good; the pizza dough tasted more like pre-made dough. Then we wanted something packed up, we told a waiter, he said just a minute, I'll be right there, then we waited 15 minutes until he came back with a pizza box, then we wanted to pay, this also took another 15-20 minutes, we didn't want to give a tip, then he kindly said we're sorry you had to wait so long, the little man (our 3 year old son) would like an ice cream on the house, we accepted the offer, thanked him and then rounded up the bill, so we did give a tip, we walked with him into the shop so our son could choose a scoop of ice cream, but to our great disappointment, the ice cream had already been cleared away 2.5 hours before closing time, which the waiter apparently didn't know about, even though he had walked past to collect the money before coming to us, so we left the shop with great disappointment, also from our son's point of view, we were apologised after several times, it's a shop we won't be going back to any time soon.

For a baked potato, half a tomato, three tablespoons of tuna, two dipping sauces, and a few lettuce leaves...15€! For me, the price-performance ratio isn't right! Pizzas start at 16€!

Dirty tables, bird droppings and lots of wasps

We were there today in brilliant sunshine with a wonderful view of the beach promenade. We opted for kofte. It was really delicious! Good quality and friendly service! Highly recommended!

It was once again very good! We can therefore recommend this restaurant: friendly service, right on the promenade. A wide selection of dishes; we had the Sin of the Orient (appetizer plate) and Tabbouleh parsley salad. It was delicious.

The waiter was completely unfriendly and came to us without a bill, simply stating the price. The order he took wasn't correct either.

Only the location is good. Extremely inflated prices and bland food. Four pieces of cold chicken for €8. A small plate of pasta with butter for my daughter was €8.50. Once and never again.

We waited a long time for the menu and then for our drinks. Later, we received cold food, and after pointing it out, it was simply warmed up.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with fast service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

A must-visit for us whenever we're in Kellenhusen. Fantastic pizza and extremely friendly staff. The ambiance would be great even without the sea view. Very child- and dog-friendly. It really couldn't get any better.

Very friendly service and delicious food.

Current: Bam, tried it right away and it's incredibly delicious. Vegetarian options are well represented, and the pizza is fantastic. Check out the photos. 🔥Old: Round trip along the promenade. We'll stop by and try everything. More photos and stuff later. Looks very cozy ♨️

I would have expected more for the price. €16 for a Greek salad (with chicken or shrimp it's another €6-8 extra). Cheap iceberg lettuce with a few cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta is pretty cheeky for the price. It was delicious, and the view was beautiful (right by the sea, so that's probably why it was so expensive?)... The pizza had a strong "doughy" flavor and cost €16 for a 33cm slice (but it wasn't even 30cm). There are better restaurants in Kellenhusen.

Nice to be there a few times! Good beer (Grimbergen) and cocktails. Friendly staff. Would love to go again...

Friendly staff, delicious food. Some communication difficulties (my starter plate and two main courses arrived at the same time; my food was brought later when I asked).

A true insider tip that I can wholeheartedly recommend! The food was not only delicious and lovingly prepared, but also absolutely fair in price. The staff treated us with warmth and attention, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. I was particularly impressed by the dreamy ambiance, tastefully decorated with fresh flowers, cozy yet stylish. The view of the shimmering water and the picturesque pier perfectly rounded off the experience. Even the appetizer was a small foretaste of the culinary delights that followed. A place to relax and enjoy.

Unfortunately, it was a letdown for us. We were squashed with nine people at a table for six, so two of us ended up with our plates on our laps. The food was quite expensive for the portion size, especially the appetizers. After we'd ordered and had already waited over 45 minutes for our food, a man came up to us and said the potatoes were gone and we could please choose something else. When the pizzas arrived, five of the seven were overcooked and therefore very dry, and one of them (a margarita) was brought out after everyone else had already finished their food. We ordered a hot cocoa. It came iced. When we were told that it wasn't hot, but cold, we were given a stupid look, asking why the hot cocoa with ice cubes was too cold. However, they were very relaxed about dogs; we brought three, which they accepted without comment. All in all, if there's no alternative, you can try it once, but then you probably shouldn't.

I can't rate the food; you couldn't pay by card, which is really questionable these days, especially in a tourist hotspot. When I found out about this, my visit quickly ended. In my opinion, the tables were poorly set and prepared.

We visited this restaurant exactly two years ago and were very impressed by the delicious food and the ambiance. So were we even more disappointed this time? Because the weather was still so nice, we sat on the terrace. Unfortunately, it was in an unkempt and run-down condition. The chairs and cushions were very dusty, and the tables hadn't been wiped down. The waiter came promptly with the menus. This was the second time we were disappointed. The menu had been completely redesigned, and now features oriental dishes and pizzas. The excuse was that the kitchen was being renovated. We ordered our drinks and two pizzas. We were informed that the dishes could take 30 to 40 minutes to prepare. This was excused because so many guests arrived at once. After 40 minutes, the food still wasn't on the table. We noticed that the guests at the neighboring tables were also waiting for their food and were already very annoyed. We were offered oriental bread and dips on the house to appease us. After about 50 minutes, our pizzas finally arrived. The third disappointment. The pizzas had little flavor, were light on toppings, were very thin, burnt on the edges, and undercooked in the middle. It's a disgrace to serve a pizza like that for over €18. The nightcap on the house at the end didn't make up for it. Our overall impression of the evening was disorganized chaos at the expense of the guests. Never again!!!

The quality of the food was disappointing. We had a falafel plate. It consisted of three rock-hard falafel and hummus swimming in oil. The salad consisted of a few lettuce leaves and a slice of cucumber (no dressing) and was, at best, a side salad. Everything tasted bland. It cost just under €18 per person. You can probably do that in a vacation region. We wouldn't recommend it.

06/25 Unfortunately, I have to change our 5-star review, I'm very sad! One of our favorite restaurants 😢... The menu/offerings have been changed, the prices have increased (significantly), e.g., the recipe (toppings) of a pizza has been changed. The price-performance ratio is unfortunately no longer right!! A really ordinary pizza (unusually delicious last year!!) now costs almost 19 euros!! Such a shame! The pizza is smaller, few/sparsely topped, no longer well seasoned... e.g., topped with old, huge, and hard arugula leaves. We are truly disappointed! We've been there several times on every vacation. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case! 😪 I'm only giving it 2 stars because of the ambiance/location! Another negative aspect of not going there anymore: until last year, card payments were accepted, but not anymore! A huge problem in Kellenhusen, almost everyone wants cash! Afraid of not getting a tip?? Or is this for tax reasons?? (Anyone who thinks otherwise is a scoundrel!) Sorry guys, you're scaring away your "good" regulars! 08/24: Actually one of the best! This year, the staff is also really friendly! Highly recommended! We'll be happy to come back!

First of all, I have to say that we've been going to this restaurant for decades (including under the previous owners). The price/performance ratio has significantly decreased. As other visitors have described, we had to ask to be served. We had gotten our menus ourselves at the counter. The water and the Coke weren't cold, and the Coke was almost deflated. The arugula pizza was average at best and, at almost €19, outrageously priced. Unfortunately, this was our last time there.

Very nice service and super delicious food

The summer garden is very nice, with very friendly and attentive service. The Aperol is very good (although it's also on the higher end). Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't cooked all the way through.

Super👌 best restaurant in Kellenhusen. Very friendly staff

We've been coming here for years, but today we weren't wanted. We waited about 30 minutes while other guests were served. Then we politely asked for the menus at the counter and were allowed to take them from the pile. But don't think anyone would want to serve us. We had to wait a long time again before our attempts to make contact were finally acknowledged. The food was okay; a salad with 5 shrimp for €26 is quite a lot, but what can you get cheaper? It's a shame that the online menu is outdated; someone with allergies could choose something beforehand and then be overwhelmed when they see the menu in the restaurant. We hope that the next time we're in Kellenhusen, we'll have that same feeling of well-being we used to have.

Highly recommended. Friendly staff. Great value for money.

The waiters even took care of the dog. A top-notch restaurant 👍🏻

First of all: The staff is very friendly and the food was very good. But the organization is a disaster. We waited over an hour for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. At first, one person was skipped when ordering drinks, but we were able to rectify that. The food then arrived (for six people) in two portions, 15 minutes apart (I haven't experienced that in a long time; we didn't order complicated dishes). Unfortunately, one main course was completely forgotten. It was also a children's plate, which led to great frustration. Considering our experiences up to that point, however, we decided not to have it prepared, because at some point, you just want to go home. The other two children were so supportive and shared, so no one was hungry.

We ate Kumpir and were completely satisfied. The prices were reasonable and the service was very friendly.

Very good food. Something refreshingly different on the Kellenhusen promenade. Friendly, attentive staff. Top!

The restaurant is located in the middle of the Kellenhusen promenade and has a small indoor and larger outdoor area. You sit comfortably and have a beautiful view of the Baltic Sea. The menu is extensive and the offerings are well thought out. We wanted to have a little drink and eat at lunchtime. I had a craving for ice cream, which I couldn't order from the waiter and had to go indoors. Two waiters tried to fulfill my wishes, but unfortunately neither of them could understand me. At one point I got 4 balls for €2 each, which were really tiny. Drinks were ordered: a Caipirinha (hardly any alcohol, no cane sugar), two Aparol Spritz (no sparkling wine). There was very little ice cream but it was tasty, everything else was bad. One star for the view and one for the taste of the ice cream. I wouldn't not go there again

Went here for the first time at lunchtime today with children. We sat inside, very friendly welcome, then we get freshly baked bread from the house, and the food was very tasty, service was very, very friendly, competent and attentive and the children were very happy, we would like to come back, recommended 👌👌

Unfortunately, a big disappointment... We reserved a table online in advance, which was apparently not noted when we arrived. Nevertheless, a member of staff kindly accompanied us to a free table. He pointed out to us in advance that our food order might take a little longer because there were two larger parties present at the time. Our drinks would be picked up and brought straight away. At first we were pleasantly surprised, as it is not a given to receive such information. When we received the menus we were surprised for the second time because the dishes differed greatly from the online menu. So far so good - no problem. But instead of taking our drinks, the waiter left our table and didn't come back for a little over half an hour. In the meantime, after we saw how overwhelmed the food distribution staff were and how we were ignored, we left the restaurant disappointed and hungry. Our departure was also not noticed. Even though we unfortunately couldn't test the quality of the food and drinks, we will avoid this restaurant in the future.

Not recommended……the waiters were totally overwhelmed. Sometimes they didn't know where the food was coming from. After waiting half an hour to at least order our drinks, we left.

Despite the full house, we had a great evening with great service and delicious food. Would love to come back. Katrin, Katrin and Leif

Absolutely not recommended. Completely overwhelmed on holidays. The two of us sat there for ages with our 2.5 year old son, who was looking forward to a portion of fries, and saw other tables coming, eating(!) and leaving. It's not that we didn't draw attention to ourselves several times, but somehow they didn't manage to do it. We ended up leaving without eating.

Delicious food, freshly prepared and friendly service! We'll come back when we're in Kellenhusen. :)

Extremely nice service, very tasty food and comfortable chairs as well as a great view of the sea.

Nachdem Gäste an drei anderen Tischen , die alle nach uns gekommen sind schon ihre Getränke bekommen haben und wir noch nicht einmal die Speisekarte sind wir nach weiteren 5 Minuten gegangen. Ich vestehe das Restaurankonzept nicht, wenn man Gäste, die Essen und Trinken wollen 20 Minuten komplett ignoriert.

Highly recommended! The service is very friendly and attentive, the furnishings are nice and modern, and the waiting time is also completely acceptable. The quality of the food is great, we were all very satisfied. Highlights are the Merguez and the corn-fed poularde. Gladly again at any time

Maybe it was because the new year had just started and many guests had left, but I still don't like waiting forever for a waiter. The waiter was wearing a wrinkled, stained shirt, especially since it was only 1 p.m. The flowers on the tables had long since passed away, the candles had long since gone up in smoke (sometimes less is more, at least putting them away helps) and our little meal was somehow quite expensive. One ! ! Waffle with cherries, not even cream or a scoop of ice cream, no! and a small cup of coffee, two of which were totally inadequate for 21 euros. No matter what others think about it. I also come from the catering industry, but the look has to be right and sensible recommendations and the warmth...we had the feeling that we were disturbing the beautiful peace and quiet. So I was disappointed. I will also spend my money elsewhere during the season. The toilets should also be cleaned, especially the floor.

Wir haben selten so einen leckeren selbstgemachten Kuchen gegessen ! Und die Bedienung, der junge Mann war super schnell und freundlich!

A great location right on the beach promenade, nice and modern furnishings. The service is absolutely great. It's rare to experience so much friendliness these days. The food was absolutely excellent. All in all, it is a great ambience and a restaurant where you can feel good and indulge in culinary delights. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We were there for coffee and cake, the staff was super friendly and helpful at the entrance, the wheelchair didn't want to go up the ramp, otherwise everything was easily accessible, waffles and cake were very tasty

Great food, a direct view of the pier and the sea, super nice service. This restaurant is definitely worth one or more visits. We'll definitely be back.

Insider tip - much cozier inside than it looks from the outside. In winter you can sit in the corner by the stove!

We were there for dinner. The service was super pleasant and attentive. The restaurant is very modern inside and is reminiscent of beach bars in Holland in style. The food was super tasty. We had pulpo as a starter and lamb as our main course. Absolutely recommended! We would love to come back.

We recently went to the restaurant “La Chance” in Kellenhusen. For me as a vegetarian, this seemed like a suitable choice and it proved to be true. It's nice that a few restaurants are open in November. The starters were very tasty and the selection of drinks was large. For the main course we each had a baked potato which was really beautifully prepared and it left us very full. After the starters we were already full, but you never know that beforehand. Finally: the service was extremely attentive, asked several times about our well-being and always tried to ensure that our visit to the restaurant was enjoyable for us. We'd love to come back, thank you very much

A lovely evening, from reception to payment. Very friendly service and the food was exceptional and very appetizing. We'd love to come back.

Such wonderful oriental cuisine.

Very friendly, cozy atmosphere with a view of the promenade and the pier. The pizza (Diavola and Tonno from my wife) was fantastic. I haven't eaten such delicious pizza in a long time. The restaurant is dog friendly which I think is great. However, we didn't have a dog with us.

I have been coming to Kellenhusen and also to this beautiful restaurant for years. Very nice atmosphere, friendly service and really great food. Always my pleasure. Keep it up!!!!

I had the pleasure of visiting this Mediterranean restaurant right on the seafront promenade. The first impression was overwhelming: a cozy atmosphere with a fireplace and a breathtaking view of the sea. The starter was delicious and the main course kofta were superbly prepared - juicy and full of flavour. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A perfect place to enjoy the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.

I've been coming here for years. The restaurant is ideal for the beach. There is an outdoor restaurant and an indoor area with an ice cream parlor. The ambience inside is bright and maritime-themed. Both areas have a great view of the open sea. The service staff is very friendly, attentive and child-friendly. The food is great and I think the price-performance ratio is okay. I only deduct one point because the menu is relatively manageable, but I still found something so that's a high level of complaining 😅

A great restaurant. Competent and friendly animal and child-friendly staff and really very good cuisine. Delicious drinks, ice cream and cakes. Big plus for a top barrier-free entrance, restaurant rooms and toilet facilities. Every guest spends a good time here. I will always be happy to come back here.

In the last 12 years we have always been here at least 2-3 times/holiday, sometimes even 2 times/day. Here you could either eat waffles and cake, drink a cocktail, have a snack in between, or have a rich and varied dinner. It was always very full every day, at all times, and getting a spot on the beloved sun terrace or inside often proved difficult. Yesterday we witnessed 3 reserved tables leaving without ordering and we were also disappointed. Today it was shockingly emptier all day than usual - what happened? Why the map change? Own creations are always beautiful and desirable, but unfortunately the connection to the region has been lost too much! Absolutely unsuitable for children (spices on fries too hot?) Service, musical atmosphere, cleanliness and quality unchanged! "Never change a winning team!" Next year will show whether it holds up; under current circumstances, it could become difficult, at the latest with the opening of a new crowd puller. Too bad!

Delicious food and super nice service

A very nice restaurant that also invites you to eat alone. I met wonderful people there and quickly made contacts. The hospitality was brilliant. The waiters were very attentive and really spoiled us. To top it all off, there was a super delicious schnapps as a gift. Thank you for this wonderful afternoon, which ended in an even more beautiful evening. Overlooking the sea where the sun was setting. ☺️ Thanks to the wonderful waiters Tino, Raffael and Oni who pampered us in a very friendly manner. Because of their friendly nature, they are absolutely the flagship of the restaurant.

We (3 adults and 2 small children) were there for coffee today Perfect service, very attentive, very friendly. You'll enjoy going there!

A great range of food beyond schnitzel and fries, great service

Great ambience, super friendly staff and then the fantastic view of the Baltic Sea! The food was excellent and very good advice from the waiter! Definitely not the last time there!!

Great location Staff super friendly and accommodating The quality of the food is simply top Price and performance are simply great I'll definitely be back

The food was good, the price-performance ratio was good and our waiter was extremely friendly and competent. We would be happy to come back.

Very nice atmosphere right on the promenade and a very varied menu, everyone will find something here. We had a wonderful evening with first-class service and delicious food and drinks. An absolute enrichment for Kellenhusen.

Once around the Mediterranean - southern France, Morocco, Levant, Turkey, Italy - and also local classics. Great taste experience :-) and service, highly recommended...

Pizza was delicious, super nice staff. The view of the pier is very beautiful, especially in the evening.

Friendly service, very good cappuccino and great location. Perfect

The food is simply incredibly delicious, big compliments to the chef! Your waiter Raffael made our evening sweeter, you definitely have to chain him!!!! Rarely have I had such an incredibly charming and funny waiter!!!!! Finally someone who loves his job!!!!! Big praise to the entire team, you are doing everything right

Although we have been regularly spending our summer holidays in Kellenhusen for several years, this year we went to La Chance for the first time. The menu offers, among other things, very interesting oriental mezze and some selected oriental main dishes. The portions are generous and the food tastes great. Highly recommended is the oriental starters, which can also be prepared vegetarian. Finally, the warm chocolate cake with ice cream is an absolute dream. We liked it here so much and enjoyed it so much that we went to La Chance several times during our holiday week and will definitely come back next year. Finally, I would like to emphasize one more thing: The service at La Chance is perfect. We have rarely experienced such a good-humoured, polite and charming waiter as in this restaurant! Absolutely recommended!

Very nice service, 3 of us spontaneously came over with Hind and got a place outside. Food was very tasty, prices were also reasonable and there was a lot of choice.

Very friendly staff, really good food. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Gladly again.

Very stylish, cozy restaurant right on the beach promenade. The delicious dishes are lovingly served by super friendly service staff. The oriental starter plate and the homemade cakes are particularly recommended.

A highlight for Kellenhusen! Very tasty food, refined and prepared with passion. Very friendly AND fast service. The cocktail was also excellent. Thank you and gladly again.

5.0 points for “La Chance by the Sea”! Six of us ate there (4 adults and two children) and were greeted very friendly and asked whether we would prefer to sit outside or inside. The drinks were all very tasty (especially the homemade iced tea is recommended) and were served quickly. We only had to wait a few more minutes for the main courses. We ordered pizza & fries (for the kids), baked potatoes and surf'n'turf across the menu and everything was excellent! The Surf'n'Turf, consisting of lamb fillet and prawns, was fried to perfection and with the truffled mashed potatoes and other side dishes it was a dream!!! We were happy to pay a little more for this because the quality and preparation were 100% right! Many thanks to the “La Chance am Meer Team” for the delicious delicacies! We'd love to come back!

We've often eaten very well at La Chance and today we celebrated our birthday there with 8 guests - it was lovingly decorated, with a surprise at the end and great food! The service was totally attentive and courteous, even extra requests were fulfilled quickly and happily. We are totally thrilled! Exceptional menu for the region, perfect holiday feeling - really great!! Thank you for the great evening🙏

By far the best restaurant and bar in kellenhusen. We'll be visiting you soon in your restaurant in Hamburg. Kind regards from Schneverdingen

The changes made from 2023 to 2024 have been very good for the restaurant. By far the best food on the promenade (and something different, especially compared to all the "beach promenade standards"). In terms of price, it's just beach promenade - but here you also have the feeling that you're getting value for money.

Just class. The menu has something for everyone. Whether vegan or lamb, it tastes good and the prices are reasonable. A nice greeting to the kitchen :)

Very nice service. Child friendly. Bright, open atmosphere. Prices right by the sea are normal. We all enjoyed the food.

Extremely nice and competent service in a wonderful ambience with a view of the Baltic Sea. We'll definitely come back

Beautiful sea view, nice ambience and the staff is super friendly and very attentive. The cake was delicious and nicely presented. The Hjt was the homemade iced tea... super refreshing and tasty. La Chance has gained 2 new guests.

Delicious food, polite service, beautiful view, clean rooms

The ambience of the restaurant is great, with a view of the sea. The food tastes excellent and the drinks were mixed in the right proportions and taste great. The attentive and humorous service rounds the whole thing off. - Only recommended.

Good ice cream, good mixed cocktail. Very friendly waiter. We sat outside facing the beach and it was very comfortable with a great view. Gladly again, this time for a main course, because the menu reads well

The service was always excellent, friendly and very fond of children. The food was also great and it always came quickly. I can fully recommend this restaurant. We look forward to our next stay when we visit Kellenhusen again.

Very tasty food and great service. The cocktails are recommended. Everything else too, of course.

Super nice team, great location (outdoor & indoor) and very tasty food 👌 You're doing great, we'll be happy to come back 🤩

This was the third time we've eaten here in 2 weeks. Everything was tasty. The service is super attentive. There is an extra children's card for the kids to color in.

Ein super herzliches Team und ein freundlicher Chef empfangen einen. Das Essen ist gut, die Atmosphäre stimmt. Wenn die Terrasse voll ist, man trotzdem draußen sitzen mag, wird sich um eine Lösung sehr bemüht und ein Tisch noch herangebracht. Erzogene Hunde (man möchte ja in keinem Lokal mit einem kläffenden Hund sitzen) sind herzlich willkommen.

The food is delicious and the service is incredibly funny and friendly.

Super friendly staff, price/performance ratio, always happy...we'll be back.

Delicious food, friendly service and a very nice view! The visit only lasted 45 minutes, but only because food was on the table after 20 minutes. Would love to come back.

Great restaurant and great staff

Very friendly staff. The food was great. We would be happy to come back.

Sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Super freundlicher Service. Wirklich was zum wohl fühlen. Alles in allem die Garantie für eine schöne Zeit.
