Michael Belger Gaststätte in Rostock

Speechless, very sad, and incredibly disappointed, I give this poor review for an extremely poor meal. To celebrate my father's 90th birthday, we dined this evening at the so-called "Genusshafen" (Pleasure Harbor). The only thing that was enjoyable was the view of the sea. We, nine guests, agreed that the meal was a complete disgrace, both in terms of taste and preparation (sometimes burnt and lukewarm, overcooked vegetables, etc.). The fish soup was a mess with scattered ingredients, the vegetables in the main course were overcooked and, like the rest of the meal, barely seasoned and lukewarm, at times seeming reheated. Dessert, a dollop of cheesecake, was also not at all convincing. When we got home, we enjoyed the leftover guest schnitzel. I'm still really frustrated, what an anti-enjoyment experience, phew... Oh, and all of this for well over 600 euros. To be fair, I have to say that we would have been better off with the buffet. I can only advise against celebrating a milestone birthday, etc., at this venue.

The ambiance wasn't great, but the food was very good. Fresh and flavorful.

During a visit to the zoo, we had the choice of eating at the barbecue hut or in a restaurant. The barbecue hut lured us in with an offer for the best pea soup in Rostock. We didn't regret it. The soup was delicious, almost like home cooking. The fries were also very good. The service is friendly, and the barbecue hut offers seating and standing room outdoors, as well as in a tent. In short: Okay for a snack, tasty food, service okay. Will we come back? Definitely. For us, it was better than the restaurant in the Darwineum (certainly quieter).

Nice terrace where you can enjoy your drink outside in good weather. Friendly staff, but the prices are on the higher end.

Doner meat too thick, bread too dry, long blonde hair in the food
