Oswald Alte Liebe GmbH in Timmendorfer Strand

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply top-notch and super friendly service! The food was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. The drinks were truly delicious and creative. The service deserves special mention: super friendly, attentive, and warm. You feel completely at home.

Super friendly staff. The atmosphere in the summer with the fire columns is lovely and pleasant. I recommend the pasta; it was delicious.

Great staff, atmosphere too (except for the long toilet). We had pasta once, which was really good. And chicken breast fillet with fries. The fries were cooked too long, the meat was dry, and didn't really have much flavor. The other dishes all looked good, too. But looks aren't everything. It's a shame.

We just popped in as we were passing by. Super friendly staff and delicious food. You could definitely tell they use fresh ingredients. We'll definitely be back.

We love coming here. The ambiance has become truly beautiful after the renovation. The staff 👍 is incredibly warm, attentive, and personable—you immediately feel welcome. (Thanks for that.) The food is delicious, of course, they could always go a step further—but overall, the quality, taste, and atmosphere are just right. Oswald—a clear recommendation!

We visited Oswald on a Friday evening around 7:30 p.m. and had no trouble getting a table on the terrace. Reservations are not accepted. The starter arrived very quickly, as did the main courses. Requesting changes to the side dishes was no problem at all. The food was delicious (I'll order it again next time) and the service was friendly. We'll definitely be back.

The snacks are quite good and the service is good

Delicious food, very good service. And a coffee after dinner is a must.

I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and cucumber salad. I couldn’t express the feeling I had with that piece of salmon, cooked perfectly, juicy, the roasted crust was overwhelming. Service was excellent and food was served fast. Drinks are also very tasty. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

Delicious, quickly served food, excellent cakes, and the service is qualified and friendly. The prices are reasonable for Timmendorfer standards. We'd gladly return.

Das Restaurant heißt mittlerweile Oswalds Restaurant. Waren heute zum Mittagessen dort. Die Geräuschkulisse war heftig. Pizza war gut. Das Nudelgericht schmackhaft. Leider wurde meine Frage bei der Bestellung, ob ich eine etwas kleinere Nudelportion erhalten kann, verneint. Fazit: Habe die Portion nicht geschafft und Lebensmittel werden verschwendet. Leider wurde ich auch nicht gefragt, ob ich die restlichen Nudeln mitnehmen möchte. Alles sehr unverständlich. Passt doch wohl nicht mehr in die heutige Zeit! Preise für Nachtisch deutlich zu hoch. Kein Eis im Angebot. Kellner wirkte eher genervt als motiviert!

The food was excellent, the staff was very attentive, the best restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand!

Very delicious food. The pizza dough was light and well-topped. The salmon pasta was perfectly seasoned. Excellent value for money. Very friendly service. The atmosphere was pleasant and modern, with heaters and blankets.

First-class. Very friendly service and the food was delicious.

The Oswald Restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand impressed us with its solid overall package. The location is excellent – ​​central yet quiet, ideal for a relaxed meal. The food was good: fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious. Those expecting fine Michelin-starred cuisine might not be in the right place – but that's not what Oswald aims to be. Rather, the restaurant impresses with its excellent value for money, which is certainly a positive aspect in a place like Timmendorf. The service was also friendly and attentive. Overall, a pleasant, no-nonsense experience – down-to-earth, honest, and recommended for anyone who wants to eat well without breaking the bank.

Nice and pleasant ambiance. The food was okay, but a bit pricey. Unfortunately, the value for money here isn't quite right.

Waren mit 6 Personen da, allen hat es gut geschmeckt außer der Pfannfisch war nicht genießbar! Fisch war trocken 😫 Dann mussten wir durch die offene Küchentür sehen! Dass das Personal in der Küche geraucht haben! Sorry dass geht ja gar nicht!

Very nice ambience and friendly waiters, I always enjoy coming back to Oswald.

My boyfriend and I were on a short trip to Timmendorfer Strand. We ate here two days in a row because we enjoyed the food so much yesterday. A large selection of dishes, excellent value for money, good service, and a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious, and they even have blankets and heaters. We'd be happy to go back anytime :)

Very tasty, highly recommended. Despite the thunderstorm, we were in great hands.

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere, heaters, and friendly staff. We generally expected more; the food was okay but nothing special. The price/performance ratio wasn't quite right.

The food was very good. The service was very good. But when I order a small side salad and end up paying almost 10 euros just for the salad, I find that outrageous.

We ate here with the family. They kindly moved us to a table close together, which was great. We ordered a children's salami pizza, among other things, and received a baked pizza for over €6, which was incredibly greasy. Furthermore, the chicken was very tough, which may have been due to the meat being cut incorrectly. Overall, we found it simply inadequate for the price.

We were on vacation one week and ate there twice. It was very good, friendly, fast, and attentive. Our dog was even offered water. The burger was probably the BEST I've ever eaten. When the weather got a bit bad, they heated the outside area. Great! Once for dessert, a piece of homemade cake – delicious.

Really good food and very friendly service. I can only recommend it.

The pizza is definitely highly recommended. The service was very good and friendly. We'll be back.

We were there spontaneously and by chance. The staff was super friendly and accommodating! The food didn't take long to arrive and was incredibly delicious. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes were just right. Highly recommended. We'd be back!

We ate there yesterday and it was a very nice evening all around. I can only recommend the goat cheese and liver. My wife had the bruchetta and the filled ravioli which were also a very good choice.

***Especially the waitress Dilan was great***

We went to the Oswald restaurant today and unfortunately the overall visit was rather disappointing. A table reservation (up to 6 people) is generally not possible, which is impractical - especially in a busy place like Timmendorfer Strand. The service didn't seem very professional: the waiters talked loudly among themselves, often using expressions like "Digga" or "Dude", which spoiled the overall impression. One of the waiters also smelled strongly of a very strong deodorant. We also noticed a few negative things in the kitchen: the chefs wore jeans and sneakers and listened to loud music that didn't fit with the ambience of the dining room. Unfortunately, it doesn't help if you constantly open and close the kitchen door. The taste of the pizza was okay - the edge was nice and crispy, but the tomato sauce was watery, which meant the base was completely soggy and the salami was unfortunately quite tasteless. Some of the dishes were also chipped and looked unkempt. Overall, the visit had more of the character of a leisure activity than a professionally run catering business. I'll also add a menu since it isn't available anywhere online. By the way, you can also pay with a credit card, but there is no information about this anywhere.

Modern decor, delicious food and good portions

Delicious pizza. But somehow the final visual icing on the cake was missing. Overall quite expensive, especially the drinks.

The four of us ate outside for coffee and cake. The restaurant was not particularly busy at the time, 2 other tables were occupied. The restaurant is centrally located in the pedestrian zone of Timmendorf. The outdoor area was separated and covered with glass panes, and it was also heated with radiant heaters - which was almost too warm during our visit with the high outside temperatures. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant's outdoor area, but unfortunately the smell of smoke accumulated through the glass panes and the roof and didn't seem to go away. The service seemed listless, but completed its tasks reliably. The cappuccino and latte macchiato served were okay, but not appropriate for the price. The cakes (pump cake and apple crumble cake) tasted like they came from the Rewe freezer shelf. The small Caesar salad consisted of 5 lettuce leaves, 2 small tomatoes, grated parmesan, dressing and a slice of bread, which was also a bit disappointing. We ended up paying almost €40 for 4 coffees, 2 pieces of cake and a very small Caesar salad. It's inexplicable to me where all the good reviews here come from, perhaps from earlier, better times. In its current state, in which it probably serves frozen products, this place is more reminiscent of a listlessly run tourist trap.

The food was okay and there is nothing to complain about. Otherwise you feel like a foreign body in this restaurant. What would you like to drink, what would you like to eat and how would you like to pay? Otherwise the customer service/customer contact is nil in this place. No need to repeat.

Very tasty, very friendly staff.

Mega. Very good Italian. Great ambience, friendly service and delicious food.

We were warmly welcomed. The heaters made sitting cozy and pleasant. Our food (beef steak, chicken and salami pizza) was super tasty. We'd love to come back!! The 3 with the HALFBIKE

Food very good 👍 Service really great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super delicious food and fast, friendly service. I definitely recommend it. Dorade and Garnelen were delicious. I would especially like to thank Ms. Nagihan for her help and friendly service.

Delicious food and very good service. A special thank you to Nagihan for their positive welcome and good hospitality.

Great atmosphere, very fast food and drinks, friendly service.

Highly recommended!!! We were in Timmendorfer Strand for three days and were here every day :-) The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. We felt very comfortable.

The three of us were there for lunch – and we absolutely loved it! The restaurant impresses with a modern, inviting atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome. The service was very friendly, attentive and at the same time pleasantly unobtrusive. My personal highlight was the herring fillet “Hausfrauenstyle” – wonderfully tender, with a wonderfully seasoned sauce, simply delicious! My husband loved his juicy burger, and our son still raves about the freshly baked pizza bread. A great place for a relaxed family meal with really good food. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty, Italian to perfection. The buffalo mozzarella pizza was perfect and tasted amazing. The salmon was on point and the rosemary potatoes were perfect. For dessert we had homemade panna cotta and tiramisu! Indescribably delicious and more than reasonably priced. Happy again and recommended to everyone. Price performance absolutely right!

It was very tasty and the service was super nice... I can recommend the liver, it was great.

Nice ambience, super delicious food and very friendly and attentive staff. Both young and old are served with a relaxed charm. :-) We can definitely recommend it.

I was in the house for the first time today. It's unbelievable what the chef conjures up in the kitchen... pure magic, it was so delicious. A restaurant that everyone who likes perfectly prepared food should go to. The service was great, not intrusive, but always at the table without being asked when needed. Gladly again at any time 👍🏼

Finally a restaurant where you pay for both the view and the first-class food! We were there with a large group and it was simply breathtaking. I liked the steak best! Highly recommended!!

My wife and I had a lovely evening with you. Greetings to the kitchen and the nice waiters who do their job really well. We were both very happy with the food

I was there today with my girlfriend and what can I say, just WOW! As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed by the employees, really friendly and attentive. But the absolute highlight was the food, simply delicious and made with love. We felt comfortable and will definitely come back. Absolute recommendation!!!🥰🥰🥰

"Oswald's old love" is really a little insider tip in Timmendorfer Strand! The food was delicious, you can simply taste that it was cooked with fresh ingredients and heart. The tarte flambée was particularly amazing! The atmosphere is really cozy and the staff is super friendly and attentive, you immediately feel at home. Whether you just want to drink something or eat properly, everything fits here. I'll definitely come back!

Absolute recommendation from me! We come here on every Timmendorf trip. Even when it was still called Oswald's Alte Liebe, it was a must to eat here on the first day. Even after the change of ownership and the renovation, everything is great. As always, the staff is on the ball and the menu is very appealing.

Very friendly, good location, nice terrace, comfortable seats, lots of heaters, good wind protection, lots of choice, very tasty food and drinks, lunch is worth the price

Super delicious food. Very friendly staff.

We ate there a few times on vacation. It really is incredibly delicious. The rump steak was spot on and my tagliatelle with salmon was simply divine. Guests' wishes are taken into account and the staff is very friendly. The outdoor area is beautifully designed. We will definitely come back

The Oswald Restaurant is a very special place for me! As soon as you enter, you can feel the warmth of the team - hospitality really comes to life here. The staff are not only attentive, but also radiate a warmth that makes the evening even better. And then the food - wow... Especially the pizza and the pasta are a real masterpiece, fresh ingredients and prepared with so much love that you can taste it in every bite. I always feel welcome and comfortable here. Thanks to the wonderful team for this warmth! I always enjoy coming back. ❤️

Dear friends of good food, the Oswald is your new temple. The chef knows how to surprise with great culinary art at fair prices. Be it the truly Italian pizza with a gentle tomato sauce, be it the carbonara with real bacon and according to the original recipe (no cream!), a gorgonzola sauce to die for or any kind of meat that gets full points for cooking and seasoning. In addition, a very friendly, busy and unobtrusive staff with an eye for the right moment and the great ambience... a place to enjoy and feel good. The new team since March 2025 has turned the dusty predecessor into a really great location. We'll definitely be back. 6 out of 5 points!

We were there in March and we were very impressed. The fish (panfish - 3 types of fish) was perfectly prepared. Very pleasant atmosphere, super friendly service and price/performance is right. We'd love to come back.

Chilled at the start of the season. Super nice staff and super fast service!

Full restaurant, exceptional service (beach chair service) and great food....

Went there last night and absolutely loved it. Super nice and attentive staff. The food was also super tasty. There was nothing to complain about. Absolute recommendation.

Great, super delicious. Very polite and accommodating staff.

It was really nice. Staff quick and courteous. Food delicious. Portion really big. Everything about rum is highly recommended

I went for dinner every evening. It was delicious, and the waiters and chef were super friendly. Thank you, you're great.

Service disappointing. Staff inattentive. We spent over five minutes trying to contact the staff so we could pay. Apparently only one employee is allowed to collect, which then led to further waiting times.

A short trip to Timmendorfer Strand. We ended up here in Oswald by chance. With a super friendly welcome, we immediately felt at home. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. A very nice atmosphere and incredibly delicious food. We would come here again at any time.

Very friendly and attentive service, good food at a fair price - we'll be happy to come back

We had lunch here today (09/07/24) before the concert. Very nice, friendly and fast staff! Great ambience outside and the food was so delicious. The tagliatelle with salmon and spinach immediately impressed with its taste. The meat dish too. We'll definitely be back. “Oswald – old love” = terrific

Nice and cozy little restaurant. We were there for lunch and had a burger and the pork medallions. The meal was excellent. The service was also great. Very polite and accommodating. We would love to come back and can absolutely recommend this restaurant! Many thanks to the kitchen for the delicious food and a big thank you to the staff. We felt very comfortable.

Super cozy restaurant that invites you to a cozy evening. Service was extremely friendly and warm, food was very tasty 🙂

A totally cozy location. And the food was definitely very good. also plenty of space outside.

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

Very tasty here and friendly staff.

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.

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.
