Oswald Alte Liebe GmbH in Timmendorfer Strand

Popped in spontaneously at lunchtime and received a friendly welcome. Mega tasty, everyone was friendly and we had a great, delicious time with you. Thank you very much for that♥️

We were turned away at the door earlier without words, but instead with a shaking head. Later we heard “It’s too full”, but the guests in front of us were offered a place at the bar which we would have accepted at first. The blonde waiter just seemed negative and unmotivated. I strongly recommend training for the gentleman to learn how to greet and interact with guests. Service is something else. This restaurant is not recommended.

Cute little restaurant. Nice and clear map! Very friendly and helpful staff! And the food was also very tasty! Highly recommended! If we are in Timmendorf again, we will definitely come back! Thumbs up! 🥰

My husband and I have been there for a long time Were there every day for almost three weeks in 2018 and then in the years after that every now and then in the summer except for last year and also very late this year. First of all, the service. It's still great, so I give it full stars. The food has deteriorated a lot. My husband's burger didn't taste as great as usual and my shrimp pan had no taste apart from the salad dressing, which was very good. The ambience outside was much better before with the windbreak walls and the upper terrace.

Absolute recommendation! We didn't eat so well in any other restaurant during our vacation on Timmendorfer Strand. Unusual creations (pasta with pumpkin/gorgonzola sauce and prawns), great service and praise to the chef! We'll definitely be back!!!

If you are looking for price / performance you can only recommend the Oswald! The pasta is very tasty and great price. Portion size good. The service is quick and attentive. Technically good. Therefore 4 stars Ambience is not really my thing. It's significantly better than Filou but nothing spectacular. The heaters are practical and the blankets are comfortable. All around a good stay! If you are looking for an inexpensive way to eat on Timmendorfer Strand! I recommend it

Went there in the early evening and were lucky enough to get a seat on the outside terrace. Food was excellent, as was the service. Terrace invites you to linger. Staff super friendly and attentive.

update from October 14, 2024: Been there for the fifth time today. delicious. very attentive and friendly staff. gladly again. been there four times; last on July 23, 2021. The service is on point, very nice and attentive. All in all, a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is also ideal for families with small children ("baby chairs" are available). The food was always excellent and really tasty. Quantity and quality match the price. The best thing, however, is that the bar serves Veltins and Grevensteiners. 😁 cheers

Really delicious food and top service with reasonable prices

Very nice service and great food, it was very tasty, we always come back when we are at Timmdorfer Strand.

Super delicious food, great service, very child-friendly! A great menu especially for children. Everything great.

We received a very friendly welcome. The boys were on their toes. We really enjoyed the food from the lunch menu. We would be happy to come back. Thank you very much

Were there 3 times during our vacation! Everything just fits here! Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff with that certain touch that makes you feel right at home and the food is consistently great! The menu is small, but that's a good thing and there's something for everyone! The portion size is always enough and the prices are reasonable! We'll definitely be back! Ps: the garlic bread is amazing 😋 Update 05/24: unfortunately there was a change of ownership. The map from back then no longer exists. Food is ok, but prices have skyrocketed. Completely new staff. All the charm of “old Oswald” is somehow gone. Actually it's not right to continue the name.

Very tasty here and friendly staff.

Has nothing to do with old Oswald anymore!! Price-performance not acceptable! Service unfriendly, after criticizing the menu there was no understanding or accommodation!!

We had dinner with 7 girls on two evenings in a row and it was really nice. Very nice staff, very tasty food that was ready quickly and fair prices. Even a drink on the house. I would eat there again and again, the new boss does it with a lot of love and passion. Keep it up, we'll be back 😊

The food was really delicious, the service was polite & quick, everything was clean and comfortable. There were even heaters outside, very pleasant.

Best gastronomy in Timmendorf!!!! The staff is awesome! Super attentive and kind!!! Super delicious food tops it all off!!! Here you can spend great evenings in a super nice atmosphere!!! Thanks to the great team! We'll definitely be back! Kind regards from the 7 girls :)

Excellent food of outstanding quality. The service was also A1!!

Spontaneous visit to Oswald on a Saturday evening at prime time. Admittedly a bit skeptical, as it's in a very prominent location (you'd be forgiven for guessing that it's a tourist nap). But nothing there! We got a very nice table outside. The service was quick and impeccable, the food (pasta and salad) came quickly, the portions were generous and it tasted excellent. The excellent house-style salad and raspberry dressing deserves special mention. I'll try to imitate this at home ;-). What I saw on other plates also looked extremely tasty and the other guests around me also all seemed satisfied. We'd love to come back, thank you very much!

Very tasty food with fresh, high quality ingredients (we had the tagliatelle with salmon and spaghetti with prawns) and friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious, the service was very good and the seating was nice too. There is nothing to complain about, highly recommended.

Very nice team, super friendly and great prices. Thank you for the great service

The spaghetti is particularly recommended

We were there two evenings in a row. Very friendly and courteous service, the team there was always friendly and always willing to have fun. The food was very tasty, very tasty and eaten very quickly.

Unfortunately we were disappointed with our visit. If the drinks come after the meal, that says a lot about the dishes. And that's exactly how it was, the Bolognese came after what felt like 5 minutes so it wasn't freshly prepared. Tasteless and watery. The prices are only justified by the location and not for the quality of the food. It's a shame given the expensive prices. Unfortunately we don't recommend it.

Extremely friendly service staff!

Good food, fresh and tasty Given the portion size, I think it's enough, although fish could be a little larger Fast service

Stopped in spontaneously for dinner. The lunch menu convinced us. Service great, fast and friendly. The food was really delicious, I can only recommend the cheeseburger and the tagliatelle with salmon and spinach were also very, very tasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food. 🙈 So if we're here again at Timmendorfer Strand, we'll definitely come back.

The food was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo and it was already devoured. We had the burger and the penne gorgonzola. That's how it has to be. Nothing more can be said about it. But the cherry on top was the creme brulee. Not too sweet.. just perfect. I didn't want to eat the whole thing alone. And then I couldn't stop spooning. (Luckily there is a photo of this) The service is very friendly, very competent and knows what they are doing. Could hardly be done better. The Pinot Gris was also very tasty. We were completely satisfied and can wholeheartedly recommend this store. :) Thank you for the lovely experience. Keep it up :) ❤️ The location is of course more than perfect. Close to the beach, with a terrace and enough space to be by yourself. You have a nice time here. We also parked right around the corner. But maybe that was also luck 🤷🏽‍♀️😅

Horrifying!!!!!! After two years, this year we were back in Timmendorf on vacation like we have been for the last eight years. Whenever we stayed here, we visited the restaurant “Oswalds Alte Liebe” almost every evening and were always very enthusiastic about the food and the hospitality. This time we unfortunately had to realize that there was a change of ownership. We noticed this as soon as we entered the restaurant due to the waiter's impersonal and arrogant seating assignment. The menu has now been significantly reduced, which in itself should offer the possibility of preparing the lesser dishes in a reasonable and acceptable quality. We ordered four dishes and unfortunately they were prepared at the lowest canteen level. We will not eat at this restaurant again. There are excellent alternatives in Timmendorf where the food and service are worth the money. It's a shame, we mourn Oswald's old love...

We sat down for a quick lunch today. Our waiter was very attentive and looked after us very well. The food was very tasty and very plentiful. All in all, very satisfied and very comfortable. We'll definitely come back

Very tasty food and friendly staff.

We had lunch at Oswald. €15.90 for a salad (in the lunch special!) with a few scampis, I would have expected more for the price. My partner had a Caesars salad for €14.90, which wasn't much more filling. Since there was only a small piece of bread, we asked for extra bread. Each of us was only brought one more piece, not a bread basket or anything else, which you always get from the start elsewhere. The stalk was used in the salad and one leaf was already brown (see photos). The white wine tasted like apple juice. But the service was nice. And we could sit outside in the sun! (The ambience inside was ok... You could certainly do a lot more with it...) The big shock came with the bill: €55 for two people for lunch!!! The “apple juice wine” cost €8.90!!! A bottle of water (yes, WATER!) cost €8.40!! In Hamburg you can get a whole red curry dish, full of vegetables, for €9 (60 cents more than a water here). 55 € and neither of us were full. We will definitely not be coming back and would not recommend it.

The two of us had dinner in this restaurant in the evening and it was really delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and on a hot day we were lucky to find a shady spot. The staff was extremely attentive and prompt, which made the evening even more enjoyable. That's why we give it a full 5 stars. A small note: reservations are not possible here, but that wasn't a problem for us - we quickly got a place.

We ate there twice during our vacation with four people. The food was very good, the staff was friendly. The prices are high, but you are in the middle of the tourist center.

We've been coming to Oswald for almost a decade. Unfortunately, the restaurant has lost some of its charm over this time. There used to be a bar and an old tree on the outside terrace, which gave it a certain extra something. Unfortunately, these can no longer be found. The food (for us burgers with hard patties and a few fries) is unfortunately absolutely run of the mill for the price quoted. We also don't like the fact that the food appears at the table after just a few minutes, which has a certain check-in character. The only thing that remains positive is the service. We won't be coming back again.

We were there for lunch today. The two waiters were very friendly and attentive. We were informed about the selection of children's menus and were offered a high chair for our toddler right at the beginning. We enjoyed the food very much.

The only thing better than the food is the excellent service.

Hello, I had dinner there today with my wife and son. We both ordered the pan fish. As a starter they had bruschetta which was quite good for my wife, I had carpaccio. There was a lot of rocket and very little carpaccio, much better and more for the price. We ordered fried fish with fried potatoes. Oddly enough, it came with bacon, but there wasn't a word about it on the menu. When we asked the waiter about it he acted very smug, no. Word of sorry and said is written on it. I let him read it himself. Then he looked strange and let it go back. Was made again but this time small normal potatoes were cooked whole. Fried potatoes don't work without bacon. Apparently everything is pre-produced. The fried fish with 3 fillets turned out to be a complete failure. These 3 fillets were so small, unbelievable. Still €30 per portion. A total of €100 left there. Was maybe worth half. Never go there again. Are often in Timmendorf. Not again, there are a thousand times better ones.

Nice service, unfortunately the pasta was inedible, I had to throw it in the trash :( (to-go)

Nice outdoor area, shady and quiet. Fast service, food okay, but not special, mainstream, rather mediocre but too expensive.

Highly priced. Wiener Schnitzel was absolutely not good. Plus 5 fries and not even a lettuce leaf.

Super delicious food!!!! Fabulous service very accommodating!!! No problem with dogs :) Water was also offered for the dogs! Great atmosphere!!! Gladly again!!!! Highly recommended! Food is prepared fresh and everything is cooked in-house! This is how we imagine a great restaurant!!!

The two of us had dinner here in the evening and it was really delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and on a hot day you were lucky to be sitting in the shade. The staff is really attentive and quick. Therefore everything 5 stars. Just be careful: reservations are not possible, but that wasn't an issue - we quickly had a place.

Today we were at Oswald for the first time with our friends and the children. We were initially skeptical due to the very mixed reviews, but were pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and sufficient for everyone. This applies to both the Caesar salad from lunch and the burger. The price level corresponds to the location on the beach promenade. The service is particularly noteworthy. The staff were very nice to our children and fulfilled all special requests without hesitation. We can recommend the Oswald.

Wir ein sehr schmackhaftes Essen und das Personal war sofort zur stelle, war nett und zuvorkommend und haben uns sowohl beim bestellen als auch beim bezahlen nicht zu lange warten lassen.

Very nice restaurant near the beach, great food, great service, good atmosphere!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was great, especially the homemade tiramisu!

We have enjoyed coming here for several years, so far... Today we were there again: There is hardly any offer for children anymore. A significantly smaller menu. Prices increased very significantly while at the same time reducing the size on the plate. We had Oswald's Trio (I've had it more often in recent years). The quality of the food leaves little to be desired, only the quantity is a joke. Due to a lack of options, the children opted for the “original” Wiener Schnitzel. The animal could suffer a post-mortem. Completely fried with bone-hard breading. The whole thing is not a bargain at €26.90 and can be found much better in Timmendorf. The service was friendly as always, but the whole team seems to have changed.

Prices are typical for Timmdorf, quite justified. Good portions.

Nice restaurant with a beach promenade feel. Great food, a bit impersonal.

Unfortunately, after taking our seats, we were asked to leave again. Went there with two families with children, the staff was of the opinion that they didn't have to rely on us as guests.

Once upon a time there was Oswald's Alte Liebe... for 7 years it was THE restaurant in Timmendorf for my family! Friendly, almost family-like with attentive staff. Unfortunately, the “remake” only left a copy of it. Unfortunately, the reduced menu does not result in higher quality food. When told that the food should be gluten-free, the salad comes with bread and onions that have been sliced ​​thin. The staff seems overwhelmed and doesn't even show up at the table after the food has been handed over. It's a shame how “optimization” can backfire!

Super nice service and delicious food

I had dinner here today with my friend. It was very tasty and the service was very friendly and attentive. Gladly again🥰

Fast service Great food Great atmosphere

I was there yesterday and I think both the food and the price are great. Service is wonderful and the food tastes really good.

Unfortunately I have to revise my 5 star review. Service is more concerned with coolness and chewing gum than with hospitality. Ordered cod fillet for 22.90 and it was 2 MINI pieces of fish with lots of potatoes. Completely different from previous years when we ate there several times. It's a shame how things change. Not again.

Delicious food (fish and burgers), fast, good service (it's nice to see professionals at work)

The service was nice, but the quality of the food was unfortunately not good at all. The price is okay for the region, but unfortunately not recommended... it's a shame

Great staff, careful, quick and friendly, food you also get 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Rarely have we experienced such a great service team. The pasta is more than Italian. It's a pleasure to sit here and enjoy. Dessert is an absolute must. A restaurant on Timmendorfer Strand that is an exception in terms of positive service

Very friendly, attentive service. We received an extremely friendly welcome and the child was also taken into consideration. The quality of the food was very good. We will be happy to come back.

I really liked it and tasted good

We have eaten in this restaurant several times and have always been satisfied. However, there has now been a change of ownership, which unfortunately has had a very negative impact on the quality of the food, the prices and the service. I ordered pan fish with fried potatoes for €26.90. When it was served by the listless waitress, I could hardly believe my eyes. The 3 pieces of fish promised on the menu were so small that you no longer have to talk about pieces but rather morsels. These were served in a pan with unseasoned fried potatoes. The whole ensemble was swimming in grease. Another supplement? None! I have never been served such bad food in a restaurant in the last 10 years. I can only advise against entering this restaurant.

Durch Zufall sind wir auf dieses Lokal festoßen. Sehr freundliche, aufmerksame und schnelle Bedienung. Wir haben jedesmal lecker gegessen und getrunken. Man sitzt gemütlich unter großen Schirmen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Great restaurant, great service. Spontaneously got a very spacious table for 6 people. Thank you for the pleasant stay and the delicious food.

The service was really very good and attentive. The food tasted great...but in my opinion the price wasn't entirely justified. You probably pay for the location on the beach promenade. I deducted 1 star because of the price...

Spontaneously sat at a table outside, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. Prices not justified for the service. Very small portion of walnut ravioli. Staff friendly.

Everything ok, but not outstanding. Decent lunch at reasonable prices.

Under new management: great service, great food, grilled sea bream to perfection and food shared openly for everyone... gladly again

Very friendly and fast service. The food was also very tasty and well seasoned. Price/performance is right here. We were very satisfied and would like to come back. Keep it up 👍🏻

Tagliatelle with salmon and spinach is simply world class!!! Delicious !!!!

Kudos to the waiters there. They were very helpful in helping me up with my crutches and wheelchair. Unfortunately there is no ramp here but it worked fine. The food tasted great and the service was great ☺️ When we left, an employee was there immediately and asked if he could help. You don't see that often these days. So it was a very nice late afternoon there and we would love to come back. Thanks so much

We were very disappointed. The service staff was really nice! But: The food wasn't good at all. I had beef rump (hardly edible because it was so tough) with potatoes and vegetables. The vegetables were bland and loveless. My husband had three kinds of meat. Very small Also because the steak was too raw and tough. Unfortunately there was also a curly hair in the food. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is not right.

I liked very much this restaurant. The food is of amazing quality and good portions. It’s not cheap but honestly it’s not expensive either. I think it’s worth it the price with the quality of the food. You have a good menu with different options for everyone. We had schnitzel and salmon, and enjoyed 2 wheat beers 🍻. 😋

The price-performance ratio is not right here at all. Food hardly or not at all seasoned. Ambience is quite nice. Especially the terrace. But I won't come a second time.

Plaice, tartar sauce and fried potatoes were very tasty. The price is OK but unfortunately the portion is quite small. In my opinion it could be a little more fried potatoes. Fish portion is good.

Ketchup from the portion sachet. Food is not high quality... there is a lot of room for improvement.

Very good and attentive service, food was also delicious, prices absolutely reasonable, almost a little low for the corner. We'd love to come back. Thank you!

We have been to Oswalds very often and wanted to enjoy the excellent food and the friendliness of the staff there again this year. We saw that a lot had changed and then read that the terrible storm “hit” there in 2023. Nevertheless, we sat down on the terrace and quickly realized that there had been a change of ownership. There wasn't much going on, the waiters seemed stressed and walked past us without noticing us. We waited and waited... Even after 20 minutes no one noticed us. We then got up and left the restaurant! Never again!!!!

Very tasty and nice service. Good food at good prices. You can sit comfortably outside. Reservations are recommended in the evening.

Food delicious, service very friendly

Great ambience, family friendly, great service

Unfortunately the food was cold. The fried potatoes were swimming in the fat and there were too many bacon bits. Very small fish portions.

A great restaurant, with very tasty food, top service and high quality food. The food is fresh and you can tell the experience of the chefs. The guest is really king here! Will come back here 100000%!

Rich, delicious daily meal, friendly waiter, sitting comfortably in the sun, clean toilet... We'll be happy to come back.

The food was great. The sevis left a lot to be desired. Beer bibs were missing, the waitress could ask if you would like something else, for example a coffee or a dessert.

Service was friendly, food was delicious, nice atmosphere, dog was allowed outside

Great currywurst and great Wiener schnitzel. You have to come to Timmendorf again…

Unfortunately the quality of the food wasn't that good. Service very nice.

We had dinner at Oswald yesterday. The new owners are super accommodating and the service is very friendly. The meal was, as with Babette and Andreas, a smooth one. The schnitzel with fried potatoes and cucumber salad was delicious and the Flammkuchen Florence was also a culinary delight. The Oswald is a restaurant where the price/performance ratio is absolutely harmonious. We felt really comfortable with you and will have the promised coffee tomorrow 😉

I had dinner with you last week with my wife. I can only say that the food tasted great and the service was also excellent, very courteous and relaxed, the shop is definitely recommended and we will definitely be back!!!!

Very tasty food and the service was super nice and motivated, you can really do it just recommend

Als erstes viel Glück den scheinbar neuen Besitzern/Pächtern. Freundliche, schnelle und unaufdringliche Bedienung. Speisen optisch gut angerichtet. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis entgleitet aber auch hier langsam. Scheint sich überall einzubürgern. Schade. 160g-Schnitzel für >22€, wird dazu ein goldenes Kalb benutzt (?), Beilagen on top. Ein Caesar-Salat mit Fleischstreifen schlägt hier auch mit >22€ etwas aus der Reihe. Der gemischte Salat ist ein eher simpler, grüner Blattsalat mit etwas Garnierung oben auf. Hier reißt nur, das uns bekannte, aber wirklich leckere Dressing alles raus. Die dazu liegenden Ciabatta-Brotscheiben scheinen getoastete Baguettescheiben zu sein.

Really good tarte flambée with excellent service at fair prices. We'll definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our visit to this small but fine restaurant. Our fish dishes came quickly after ordering and were on point. The potatoes were very well seasoned, great preparation. The cucumber salad was really tasty. Relaxed, attentive service, fits. Actually 4 stars because you can always improve. But there are 5 stars because the boss really seems to have an idea about wheat beer. Maisels Weisse is served here, just to enjoy.

The food has tasted really good since the change of ownership. You can taste the freshness and quality. The new owners are very friendly and accommodating.

A visit to Oswald's old love is really worthwhile. Nice service and good food.
